When the Alpha King held a grand Masquerade Ball, only the elite werewolves were invited—along with their sons and daughters. Katherine had no place there, but her friend Sandy snuck her into the palace, allowing her a fleeting taste of the royal ball.
Amid the sea of masked werewolves, Katherine found herself swept onto the dance floor, unknowingly caught in the arms of Alpha King Luther Reeds. The bond between them was undeniable, but so was the cold anger in his eyes. Without knowing each other’s true identities, Luther rejected her with a harsh command not to show herself ever again, passing her off to another man with a trail of despise as he let her go.
Ending the night with pain and hatred for each of them.
Luther despised the mate bond, viewing it as a weakness unfit for a king. His only concern was choosing a partner of high status to bear his heir—love and bonds had no place in his plans. But fate had other ideas.
Their paths crossed again, and this time, Luther took her—not as his mate, but only to be a servant in his palace.
Katherine lived in misery, sorrow, and despair. She watched her mate betray her, use her, and bed any woman he wanted. She wanted to escape the palace, to leave the Alpha King, but she could not.
Until she was driven by her sanity to end her sorrow. To end her life, while the Alpha King watched her with cold emotionless eyes.
But her death was not yet the end, but the beginning.
What fate awaits Katherine who was favored by the goddess and the ruthless Alpha King Luther Reed who was cursed? And what will happen when he learns that she is the key to breaking his curse?
