She is sold into slavery to the ruthless Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack after her mate cheats on her with her sister and she is forced by her parents to give up her mate to her sister. Ariana's captive existence as a mere breeder under Alpha Ethan takes a turn when she discovers a forgotten journal. Unfolding its pages reveals a heartbreaking saga, a lost child, a murdered mate, and a curse. Its worn-out pages hint at a prophecy, and the mention of a unique birthmark signals an unspoken connection with its author and a link to the alpha’s curse. Now the question arises: will Ariana be the savior or the harbinger of doom?
Ariana's eyes fluttered open, the dim light of the room illuminating her tired face. She groaned, rubbing her temples as she tried to shake off the lingering exhaustion. The recent events had left her drained, both physically and emotionally. She couldn't shake off the feeling of unease, as if the world was teetering on the edge of a precipice, waiting to plunge into chaos.
She stared at the small vial, feeling a surge of conflicting emotions. The physician had assured her that it was a simple remedy for her fever and nausea, but she had a nagging doubt in her mind. She knew it was unhealthy for her pregnancy but she couldn't bring herself to reveal it to Gabriel.
