"I scratch and bite," Vivian warned, holding the Lycan Alpha's gaze confidently.

Ronan smirked, his hand gripping her chin possessively as he forced her to look up at him.

"You'll crawl and beg too," he promised.

************
Being the Clan Leader of the last remaining cursed Lycans, Ronan had long abandoned his task of finding his fated mate after years of useless searching. However, his life is disrupted when he encounters a mysterious and barely clinging-to-life alive Omega wolf, Vivian, trespassing on his land. Covered in strange Wickan magic symbols, Vivian is not just any wolf—she is his destined mate.

Vivian has lived a life of rejection and suffering. Abandoned by her first mate for being unable to conceive, scorned by her family, and mistreated by her pack, Moonborn, she has endured endless humiliation. Forced by her father to mate with other Alphas in a desperate attempt to prove her worth, Vivian’s fate takes an even darker turn when she is cursed by a local coven and framed for a crime she didn’t commit. On the brink of death, she escapes into forbidden territory—Ronan’s land.

A stretch of land her pack never dared to tread upon.

Ronan’s mistrust only grows when he learns Vivian is from Moonborn, the pack that slaughtered his clan and remains his sworn enemy. Yet, irrespective of their dark feuding histories, he takes her in, determined to care for her and break the deadly curse inflicted upon her by Wickans and the ancient curse slowly leading him to an inevitable death. As they grow closer, secrets from both their pasts threaten to break them apart. 

And when Vivian’s niece arrives with a hidden agenda, matters become far more complicated.

Cursed Lycan's Scarred Mate

Sated and exhausted, Vivian didn't even notice exactly when Caelum had carried her back to bed. She'd immediately fallen into a deep slumber with the Lycan Alpha's knot buried within her, feeling it subtly pulse within her before it deflated in the next hour and he slid out.

Vivian wasn't conscious of the loss but her body already whined from his absence.

Much like in the morning when they first mated, Vivian remained boneless in bed while the Lycan Alpha tended to her needs. He cleansed her body with a warm washcloth dipped in water that was mixed with the herbal bath remedies Soran recommended for pain and burn relief of Vivian's wickan symbols.

Caelum remained within control of his host's shared mind, refusing to fade into the background so soon.

Vivian had granted him a name just as he wanted.

The meaning was unexpected and he wondered at a choice of names, contemplating whether there was a significant reason behind the name or not.

A drastic change
