"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

Vivian's mind was still unsettled from the binding ritual. Distracting herself with Ronan's affections wouldn't resolve the fact that her only chance at altering her fate had failed.

Perhaps she should never have tried to tamper with fate's decision in the first place.

She would still be under Alaric's cruel mercy.

The binding ritual was her only chance at escaping his clutches and then she would find a way to bring Avery's captivity to Ronan's attention.

She would be forced to rely on Alaric.

Only he, the wicked Master of Estwood Coven, could reverse her fate and set Avery free.

'I made the wrong choice,' Vivian scolded herself mentally, her expression forlorn as she pressed her cheek against Ronan's chest for comfort. Her gaze was distant, almost lost. 'I need to find another way—a way that doesn't put Ronan and Avery in danger.'

A price to be paid
