Broken by the Beast Alpha: a Dark Shifter Romance of Magic, Power, and Survival

He is cursed. She is fire. And the blood moon is rising.
Vesper Hale has built her life on control. Gifted with the ability to read emotions through touch, she has learned to keep her distance because getting close has always come at a cost. When the High Witches’ Council sends her to negotiate with the struggling Ashveil wolf pack, she knows she’s walking into a political game she didn’t design.
What she doesn’t expect is Dorian Ashveil.
As Alpha, Dorian has been fighting a devastating curse known as the Severance one that is slowly destroying the bond between shifter and wolf. Exhausted and running out of time, he’s holding his pack together by sheer will as the next blood moon approaches.
He doesn’t need diplomacy. He needs a solution.
Instead, he gets a witch who challenges him at every turn rewriting his treaty, standing her ground, and unsettling the dangerous balance he’s fought to maintain. Against all odds, her presence does something no one else has managed: it brings his wolf to heel.
But breaking the curse will demand more than negotiation. It will require trust, sacrifice, and a choice neither of them is prepared to make.
When Vesper uncovers hidden motives behind the mission and realizes the pack may have been set up to fail she must decide where her loyalty truly lies: with the life she’s built, or with the people she was never meant to save.
Broken by the Beast Alpha is a paranormal romance novella featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, a cursed Alpha, and a powerful witch caught between duty and desire. A satisfying ending is included.
