Breaking the Alpha's Curse

"Since today is a special day, I would like to announce my engagement with Mia Reed."
A round of applause erupted as everyone began to cheer Alpha Theo.
"I'm not done yet," he moved closer to me and grabbed me.
I dare not raise my head.
Holding my wrist firmly, he announced to the audience. "In the presence of everyone here, I would like to reject Jane Fisher as my mate. Henceforth, she is no longer a member of the Blood Moon."
Like his rejection wasn't enough, he was going to kick me out of the pack.
The words had struck me like blades, piercing through my skin. Every eye was on me.
I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me if that's the only way I could escape the humiliation.
But then…
Another voice cut through the murmuring crowd.
"I'll take her."
I stilled. The crowd stilled.
I lifted my head, just slightly. My heart pounded with confusion.
From the far edge of the gathering, a tall figure stepped forward. His presence alone made people part ways as he approached the stage.
My breath caught in my chest as I saw him. It was him. Alpha Liam.
***
Liam Kael was cursed with a pain no healer could ease. Jane was stripped of her wolf and her memories. Neither knew they were bound by blood, bond, and betrayal.
When Alpha Liam touches Jane, the torment in his chest, a curse he had endured his entire life, vanishes for the first time. But Jane is no healer. She is the rejected mate of another Alpha, a wolfless girl humiliated before the entire pack.
What begins as a strange connection soon turns into something deeper, darker, and destined. Secrets unravel, truths come to light, but neither of them is ready for what fate has in store.
