His love is a curse. His mate is his weakness. And fate is his greatest enemy.
Kyan was born with a legacy of darkness. Cursed from birth. A fate sealed by the original Moon Goddess herself.
As an Octavian, his Lycan is more than just a beast—it is a monster of legend, doomed to love and lose, destined to kill the mate it was created to protect.
So when he finds Marabella, his fated mate, he does the only thing that makes sense.
He rejects her.
It’s the only way to keep her safe. To stop the curse from repeating itself.
But Marabella is not just any mate.
And when his best friend, Jonah, starts to claim her as his own, Kyan realizes that fighting fate may not be as simple as walking away.
Because what if the only way to break the curse… is to risk it all?
Author’s Note – Before You Read
Recommended for 18+ readers. This isn’t just a romance—it’s a fight against fate. A story of betrayal, rejection, and a heroine forced to rise from the ashes of heartbreak. In a world where fated mates should mean devotion, hers cast her aside. But destiny isn’t finished with them yet. What happens when the one who broke her realizes she was never meant to be tamed?
Trigger Warning:This book explores deep emotional struggles, self-worth, and the scars of rejection, alongside dark prophecies, cursed bonds, and the kind of love that could ruin them all. Expect slow-burning tension, possessive alphas, and a heroine who will either break or become something far more dangerous. If you love intense chemistry, brutal choices, and fate’s twisted sense of humor— you’re in the right place.

This book was good all the way till the end. Great story righter, yet the past books had terrible endings. They werent even cliff hangers! It was more like she ended it at that point just to sell another book (at least thats the feeling you get). This one had a real ending that made the story complete, yet also some questions to ask gor the other non-main characters. This is how u end a book and yet keep the reader wanting to know more and yet happy for the circle to come around. I hope her...

This was so good from the first book in the series to this and I know the next one will be just as great. I love how layered the plot is and thoroughly delivered. The author has not missed any detail that needs to be concluded. Overall, I loved the book. I would recommend 1000 times. )

These books are good. I love them. However, there are some spelling & grammatical errors here & there throughout the series. Some of the breaking points in the books (ie. Chapters) don't make sense, but that doesn't take away from how good the books are. )

I read this series, one book after the other, being new to the series. I found the story compelling and enjoyed it very much. What I have a problem with is the proofreader. OMG! Punctuation was all over the place and extra words popped up regularly. I hate when I have to go back to re-read something because the punctuation didn't make sense or an extra word or phrase jumps in. Jessica Hall is terrific. Her proof reader, not so much. )
