Ariana glaubte nicht an Märchen. Nicht in einer Welt, in der goldene Käfige glänzen und Dornen sich wie Versprechen um das Herz liegen. Doch dann traf sie ihn. Zac: Gefährlich, verboten, vollkommen. Mit einem Blick brachte er ihre Welt zum Beben. Mit einer Berührung ließ er sie vergessen, wem sie gehörte. Aber Liebe hat ihren Preis. Und in ihrer Welt zahlt man ihn mit Blut. Zwischen Macht und Verrat, zwischen Freiheit und Pflicht beginnt Ariana zu erkennen, dass selbst der zarteste Flügelschlag ein Sturm sein kann, wenn er für die falsche Liebe schlägt. Ein Schmetterling, der zu fliegen wagt. Ein Mann, der sie retten will oder brechen. Und ein Kuss, der alles verändert. ⸻

“Are you going to treat me like the enemy?” Raffaele asked, hovering over me like a predator. “You are the enemy,” I sneered. He smiled. “Careful. You’re hurting my feelings.” “I hope I can hurt much more than that.” His eyes darkened. “You forget—I’m the one who can break you.” I vowed never to give my heart to a man. Never let one bend me. Never let one own me. Then a single night changed everything. When my best friend became a target, I took her place and caught the attention of the most dangerous man in the city. Raffaele, My friend's older brother, wasn’t supposed to see me. We were never meant to meet but the moment his eyes locked on mine, I became his new obsession. I don’t bend and he doesn't let go. Suddenly caught up in a world of blood and power, resisting a man like Raffaele might cost me everything...heart, body, and soul. He wants me, dead or alive.

I am the most hated wolf in the Crescent Claw Pack. Branded curses. Shunned for the sins of my bloodline. But fate is cruel. During the Moon Rite, I didn’t find one mate. I found two. Caelum Veylor—billionaire Alpha, cold as steel, who swore my family ruined his life. Darius Thornveil—war-Alpha, ruthless and untamed, who lost his brother because of me. They despise me. They reject me. Yet the bond refuses to break. Dragged into their world of power and vengeance, I’m forced into a dangerous game where obsession burns hotter than hatred. Their touch makes me weak, their wolves refuse to let me go, and secrets from the past whisper that my curse is more powerful than anyone knows. Two Alphas. One cursed mate. And a prophecy that says I’ll either unite them—or destroy us all.
