On the night of the blood moon, Elara watches her mother burned at the stake by the Church, leaving her orphaned and disgraced. Fate thrusts her into the arms of Kaelen, the ruthless Cold Moon Duke—bound by a three-year contract marriage that elevates a lowly Omega into the cruel world of power and wolves. At their wedding, the fated mark burns on her skin, shocking the entire clan. From that moment, she is no longer a mere contract bride, but the “Cursed Bride” whispered in every hall. He is cold and merciless, yet again and again he shields her in the face of danger: “She is my mate. Whoever dares touch her—will face me.” Elara fights back with defiance and wit, turning whispers of shame into strength. From scorned outcast to respected leader, from contract pawn to a love forged in blood, their journey is one of fire, betrayal, and salvation. Dark romance, fated mates, and a possessive Alpha colliding with a fierce Omega— Under the blood moon, curse or not, she is his only destiny.
