Cursed by the moon goddess after her father dared to defy an ancient sacrifice ritual, Skylar White bears the weight of her pack's hatred. Destined to die alone and mateless, she resigns herself to a loveless marriage with an insane Alpha to save her pack. But fate has other plans. On her wedding day, the mysterious Alpha Devon storms the ceremony in a brutal display of power, slaying her soon-to-be husband. When their eyes meet, the impossible happens—the mating bond that should never exist blazes to life between them. Now Skylar must question everything she thought she knew. Is this a cruel game orchestrated by the vengeful moon goddess, or something more? As an ancient prophecy emerges from the shadows, Skylar faces an impossible choice. Will Skylar be able to forge through the prophecy that threatens to destroy her?

Alpha Devon's scent filled the air of the carriage and I basically breathed it in.He was my mate. It was undebatable. My wolf had sniffed him but how? I thought the Moon Goddess had cursed me not to ever have any mate for the rest of my life? Did Alora lie? But priests of the Goddess were forbidden to lie or cheat and face certain death so did the Goddess lie? But the Divine doesn't lie. Ugh, thinking about it was giving me a migraine.“Can you stop doing that?” I heard him ask and turned to face him.“Doing what?” I asked, confused. The only thing I was doing was breathing. Did he have a problem with that?“Nevermind.” He looked away, not saying a word.I wondered why he was acting differently. Just a second ago, he had slaughtered the mad man of the North like he was nothin
Skylar's POVAs soon as I agreed to marry Alpha Sage, preparations for the wedding ceremony began in earnest. Beta Jasper saw to it.He made sure the dressmakers came to take measurements for my gown, arrangement of the pack's ballroom that would be used for the wedding, the travels and lodging of Alpha Sage and his people.The day the Alpha arrived, I was in my bedroom, staring at paintings of mother and father. They were the only thing they owned that I cherish. That and the memories I had with them.A quiet knock broke me from my reverie and I jolted.“W - who's there?” I asked in a low voice.“Melanie.” One of the maids replied.“Come in.” I put the paintings away and stood to my feet, folding my hands in front of me.The door creaked open and she stepped in. This time she wasn't alone. She came with the head maid and six other ladies and they were with my wedding gown.After the fitting, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. All my life, I've wanted a normal life — one where m
Skylar's POVMy heart beat faster against my ribcage as I listened to Alora’s sentence.In a solemn voice, she read out my sentence. “Skylar White, you are not cursed by the Moon Goddess but you are born to never find a mate. You will never find happiness and in confinement shall you dwell for the rest of your life till you wither and die.”“What? That can’t be right!” Father screamed.I was frozen to a spot. My hands trembling at my side and my heart racing in my chest.“It is the word of the goddess and so shall it be!” Alora let the scroll fall to the ground and all the people bowed. It was over. I was done for.The days that followed later were numbered with grief and misery. People mocked and cursed my name in the streets like I was some abomination. I could hear them from my room. Even the maids and guards talked about it in low voices. I was nothing more than an outcast.Well, their hurtful words were n't the only things I heard. One evening, I overheard Beta Jasper speaking to
Skylar’s POVThe last 6 years were hell for everyone in the RedMoon pack and father was about to let the same thing happen again.“No!” He screamed, running to where I laid on the slab.He shielded me with his body. “Don’t! Don't let my poor daughter die! Don't harm her!”“Father, what are you doing!” I tried to push him off me. “Let go of me!”“Hush now, Skylar. I'm trying to save your life.” Father yelled. Then he looked at the people. “It doesn't have to end like this! Why does my daughter have to die? What kind of deity is the Moon Goddess for giving a life for a life!”Silence hovered over the pack. Soon, hushed whispers began to spread amongst the people.“Step aside from your daughter, Alpha Xavier!” The priestess roared. “The moon is full and the night is still young. We still have time to do this. If Skylar doesn't get sacrificed. We all will suffer a fate worse than death.”“Will we all suffer a fate worse than death if we don't kill a child?” Father yelled.“Father..” I tri
Skylar's povMother had said we were all born for purpose but I was born to die.I was not supposed to live but the consequences of my father's action changed my life forever.It all began on the 26th of May in the Year of the Moon. The summer I turned 18, I was told I was going to die.In the fields, a few of the maids and I harvested oats, strawberries, avocados, peas and some green. Our harvest every year was always bountiful and we were always at the top of highest producers. However, this feat was not achieved easily. The last 5 years and the year before was hell for us.The SilverMoon had lost her Luna and I had lost my mother but my father lost a part of himself. He would ramble from place to place sobbing and calling for mother, his voice wailing loudly in the wind.The pack’s priestess had ruled him incompetent to rule and the throne was vacant. Without an Alpha on the throne, the pack was plunged into chaos – we had thieves invading our homes, starvation and what not. Someon
