In a world where werewolves must mate before their 25th birthday or lose their ability to shift forever, Alpha Rahel is cursed to kill every mate he marks. Cold, brutal, and feared, he is known as the "Widow Alpha" until her. Amara, a fragile human raised by vampire priests, is sold as a sacrifice to break Rahel’s curse. But when he bites her… she doesn’t die. She awakens. And so does something older than any wolf, deadlier than any curse. She is not his salvation. She is the reincarnation of the goddess who made him a monster. Rahel was never a werewolf. He’s the first Lycan, born from divine fury and vampire blood. Now, every creature that once feared him wants her dead before she remembers why she cursed him. But the deeper he falls for her, the more dangerous she becomes because love was never written in the prophecy. And fate? Fate lied. He was meant to kill her… but what if she was meant to kill him?
