“That’s your stepbrother, Ivan,” her mother said as they stopped by the pool. His legs were in the water, a cigarette between his lips, smoke curling into the sky. And right then, Gianna knew she hated him. She hated men who smoked. Or drank. Or reminded her of the father whose scars still lived beneath her skin. After six months away, Gianna Vale returns home to find everything changed, her mum has remarried the alpha of the Wolfe pack— a new house, a new name, and a new problem: Ivan Wolfe. Cold. Arrogant. Impossible to ignore. She wants to hate him. She tries to. But one look is all it takes — one heartbeat, one spark — and the bond between them ignites. Ancient. Unbreakable. Forbidden. They’re mates. A truth neither of them asked for… and one they can’t escape. Because in the Wolfe Pack, love like theirs isn’t fate — it’s a curse. If two fated mates from their bloodline unite, one is to die or become rogue. And when one reckless moment crosses that line, the mark changes everything. And that curse runs deeper than Gianna ever imagined — tangled in her family’s past, in long forgotten memories , and in secrets that were never meant to surface. Now desire becomes danger, loyalty becomes war, and Gianna learns that some destinies were written long before they were born. She was supposed to stay away. He was supposed to reject her. But fate never plays fair.

My blood can break a curse. His blood was born to destroy. And yet… we’re bound together by fate. I’m Anara — the last Ashveil witch. Feared. Hunted. Marked by a shadow that whispers in my sleep. My cursed bloodline has ruined everything, and now they all want me dead… or worse. Then he came. Lucien isn’t just a vampire. He’s half-demon. Heir to a throne everyone forgot. A monster who brings kingdoms to their knees… and he says I belong to him. His touch burns. His kiss claims. His blood calls to something dark inside me that I can’t resist. But falling for him might kill me. Awakening my power could destroy us both. And walking away? That was never an option. In a world of blood, betrayal, and forbidden desire… some bonds should never be formed. Ours was written in blood.
