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?
With a tear-streaked face, Ariana rushed back to her room, her heart heavy with the pain of Ethan's rejection. Confusion clouded her thoughts, unable to comprehend why he turned her away and doubted her words. In her mind, he needed her, and she believed she could save him. The belief that love existed between them lingered, a flame refusing to be extinguished.
"Maybe I should have shown him the journal, the one that belonged to his former breeder. Maybe he could have believed and trusted me," she said, rolling back and forth on the bed.
She jerked up from the bed,l, "Did he think I was lying or trying to manipulate him?" Pondering out loud. "Did he believe I was doing this for my own selfish gains?"
