When her fated mate, Callen, is murdered by a rival Alpha during a brutal territory raid, the curse takes hold. Raina is forcefully bound — body, soul, and magic — to Luca, the Alpha who slaughtered her mate.
But here’s the twist: Luca didn’t want to kill Callen.
He was manipulated, betrayed by his Beta, and now he’s chained to a mate he never asked for — a girl who looks at him like she’d rather die than breathe the same air.
Yet the bond is real. It’s deeper than instinct — it’s blood-deep, soul-deep. And as Raina plots her revenge and escape, she discovers secrets about her own nature… and Luca’s. He’s not just an Alpha — he’s a Drowned Wolf, a descendant of the cursed moonblooded line, slowly losing control to the beast inside.
To survive, they’ll need each other.
To be free, they’ll have to break the curse.
To fall in love?
