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?
Ethan felt a shock of disbelief, followed by a burst of happiness. He was going to be a father. He was going to have a family with Ariana. He looked at her, feeling a new wave of love and awe. She was carrying his child. His miracle.
He leaned down, kissing her forehead. He whispered in her ear, "I love you, Ariana. You're the best thing that ever happened to me. And now you've given me another gift. Our child. Thank you, my love. Thank you."
He hugged her, holding her close. He felt her stir in his arms, opening her eyes. She looked at him, confused and groggy.
"Ethan?" she said, her voice weak. "What's going on? Where are we?"
He smiled, tears in his eyes. He kissed her again, then told her the news.
"Ariana, you're pregnant. We're going to have a baby."
She gasped, her eyes widening. She touched her stomach, feeling a faint flutter. She looked at him, her eyes shining with happiness and wonder.
