They say eighteen is the age of awakening. For me, it was the age of execution. I spent years perfecting the art of being the "perfect pack member," waiting for the moon to reveal my fated mate. But when the bond finally snapped into place, it wasn’t a dream—it was a death sentence.
Rejected by the man I was destined for and branded a "defect," I was exiled to the one place even monsters fear: The Cursed Den.
In the Den, the trees have teeth and the mist swallows the weak. I was supposed to be a sacrifice, a tattered soul left to rot in the cold. But the Den didn't break me. It woke me up.
Because in the heart of the darkness, I didn’t find death. I found Hydra.
He is an Alpha of the damned, a king of the broken, and the only man who sees the crown hidden beneath my rags. He doesn’t just want to protect me; he wants to help me burn down the world that threw me away.
My former pack called me a curse. Hydra calls me his Queen. And together, we’re coming back to claim the throne they never knew I owned.
If you love rejected mate romances with a "zero-to-hero" arc, a brooding Alpha with a heart of gold, and a heroine who uses sarcasm as armor, then Cursed & Claimed is your next obsession.
