The Villain Alpha's Cursed Mate

She is the daughter of an Alpha whose family had conquered the last demon wolf in Illyria. Esmeray is born into the prestigious Alpha family, known as the Montague. But after her father's untimely death, her life becomes a nightmare of abuse at the hands of her cruel stepmother and stepbrother, who torment her for lacking a wolf. Desperate for salvation, she dreams of a mate who would come and rescue her from the cruelty of her pack. When he finally arrived, her hopes were shattered, for he had only come to reject her. Her only connection to her family's proud heritage is her striking blue hair, a sacred legacy from her ancestors. But in a desperate bid for freedom, Esmeray cuts her hair to escape being sold to a rogue. Her daring action pushes her to the precipice of death, unwittingly awakening a powerful demon wolf, imprisoned for 15 long years. This Alpha demon, who has yearned revenge and bloodthirst, is instantly drawn to Esmeray the moment he senses her, and he is determined to keep her at his side at all cost. In the world of wolves, the hunt is everything — and he has found a prey worth chasing.

Sacrificial Lamb

—----~⁠♡~-------

"My father suffers from the Noctisveil syndrome," Leonardo began after settling into the wooden chair in the physics tower. "It's a… a familial affliction, really. An incurable illness that slowly ravages both the respiratory and muscular system, weakening the body over time until…" He faltered, the words sticking in his throat like a painful lump.

"I knew it was hereditary, but I… never thought my father would be so unlucky. He kept the truth from me, and although I understand why, it still burns me everytime I think about it."

Leonardo's words were laced with a sense of betrayal that still lingered, his anger and frustration simmering just below the surface.

Esme's eyes widened in shock, unable to comprehend what he just told her. She had expected many things, but not this. Not a terminal illness that hung like a specter over Leonardo's warm family.
