"An eye for an eye," I told myself every night as I dreamed of his death. He was the monster who had ruined my life, the devil in every nightmare.
But now, he stands before me, alive, no longer cursed, and all I can feel is the heat of his gaze, stripping me bare. I wanted to end him... but now, it feels like he's already ended me.”

In the Kingdom of Rivera,  Kaden, the ruthless crowned alpha Prince, lay cursed in eternal slumber. Lily, a servant girl with a hidden past, arrived on a mission of vengeance, seeking to kill the monster who slaughtered her family and destroyed her colony. But when she touched him, the curse was broken. Instead of death, Kaden offered her a shocking proposal: become his mate and bear his heirs. Now, Lily is bound to her enemy, torn between the desire that burns within her and the revenge that fuels her soul. Will she succumb to the darkness that haunts them both, or will her thirst for vengeance consume him... and herself?

The Cursed Prince’s Bride

Lily paced the small storage room, her heart racing, her thoughts spiraling as she replayed the kiss in her mind. It hadn't been planned—it hadn't even made sense—but it lingered. The memory of Kaden's lips on hers burned her like fire, consuming her. She forced herself to focus as the door creaked open, revealing Ewan.

"It didn't work," Lily said abruptly, "It did not work."

"What?" Ewan froze in place, his hands tightening into fists at his sides. "What do you mean, 'it didn't work'? He's alive?"

"Yes." She folded her arms across her chest, avoiding his gaze. "The poison wasn't strong enough. He woke up."

Ewan let out a humorless laugh. "Impossible. No one survives that. Are you sure you did it right?"

"I'm sure," Lily snapped. "I did exactly as you said. But he's alive."
