Lennox Gray spent three years loving a man who never deserved it. She handed Alpha Ryker Hale her virginity, her trust, and her entire clan, only to watch him give another woman the mating mark that should've been hers. Stripped of everything, she should've disappeared but instead, she made a deal with a dying man. Alpha Davian Kross has six months to live and his bloodline is rotting from the inside out, a curse that's butchered every male heir for the last century. The only cure is a myth to claim a woman who can survive his venom, bind her to him completely, and hope she doesn't die screaming like the others. He's killed three women trying. Lennox will be the fourth. She knows the costs but she doesn't care. If she survives, she gets his pack, his power, and everything she needs to destroy Ryker. If she dies, at least she won't die weak. But Davian's venom didn't kill her he changed her and when his claim starts rewriting her from the inside out, Lennox realizes the curse isn't something you break. It's something you feed.
