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?
The warm afternoon sun streamed through the sheer curtains, casting golden hues across the room where Ariana lay. Her eyes shot open, the dim light of the room illuminating her dazed expression as she slowly regained consciousness. The bedsheets clung to Ariana like a second skin, heavy with the afternoon's heat. Beads of sweat dotted her forehead, a testament to the intensity of her nap, she blinked groggily, trying to shake off the haze of sleep.
Her fingers grappled with the tangled bedsheets, attempting to cast them aside for some relief from the stifling heat. She struggled with the bedsheets, frustration mounting as they resisted her efforts.
"Why does this always happen?" she muttered to herself, her fingers working furiously to free the fabric from its twisted state, her movements growing increasingly agitated. With each tug and twist, she grew more determined to conquer the stubborn fabric, her brow furrowing in concentration.
