My Alpha arranged my mating without asking. An ancient tradition offers one escape: steal a sacred stag from enemy territory.
The stag belongs to the cursed MacLeods of Glencoe. No trespasser has left their lands alive in two centuries.
I’d rather die free than live in a cage.
But their heir, Torin MacLeod, captures me instead—and his shadows recognise something in me they’ve never known. Peace.
For two centuries, his bloodline has been cursed with darkness that devours everyone they love. But when I’m near, it retreats.
My wolf knows what that means before I do: fated mates.
Now Torin’s father, Alpha Lachlan, is keeping me prisoner. Watching. Testing. He knows what I am to his son—and he knows I’m the key to breaking the curse or weaponising it.
I’m trapped between two impossible choices: escape and abandon my fated mate to the darkness that will consume him, or stay and let his father use our bond to destroy my pack.
In the Highlands, some bonds are forged in blood—and some curses can only be broken by it.
