The Lunar Curse: A Second Chance With Alpha Draven Novel

Meredith Carter was once the pride of her pack—until the Lunar Curse branded her as a wolfless outcast, rejected by her fated mate and condemned by her people. Believing the Moon Goddess had utterly abandoned her, Meredith learned her curse wielded a dark blessing: overwhelming pheromones that compelled men with ravenous hunger and nauseating revulsion alike. Her intoxicating scent transformed her into prey to be claimed.

The night her volatile pheromones spiraled beyond restraint, Alpha Draven Oatrun—the kingdom's most ruthless and untouchable Alpha—claimed her as his wife. Yet Draven's marriage stems from cold calculation, not destiny. Love has no place in his schemes.

Ensnared in a world of cutthroat politics, deadly foes, and a mate who regards her as nothing more than a political pawn, Meredith fights for survival, her dignity, and answers about the source of her curse. Inside her, something stirs—something potent, something timeless. When her hidden truth is revealed, even the ferocious Alpha will find himself unable to resist.

Rejected. Cursed. Coveted. Selected.

Can Meredith break the chains of fate? What ancient power will push her toward war and devastation?

—Excerpt:

"You may have claimed me," Meredith whispered, her violet eyes burning with fire, "but you will never own me."

Draven released a low, menacing chuckle. His golden gaze gleamed as he boxed her in, his dominance stifling.

"Own you?" His tone was velvet over steel. "Little wolf, I have no need to own you."

He tucked a strand of silver-white hair behind her ear—a caress so light, yet it ignited her entire being.

"Because whether you accept it or not…" His breath brushed her skin like silk. "Your body already craves me."

Meredith's teeth gritted as she suppressed the traitorous heat rising within. The pheromones. It had to be them.

"I despise you," she spat out.

"Good," Draven's smirk widened. Because hatred was merely passion in disguise.
