The Cursed Wolf
Trapped in a cottage since birth, Lavinia dreams of freedom. But when her Alpha father finally offers escape, it comes with a shocking price: an arranged marriage to a ruthless prince. As ancient secrets unravel and hidden powers stir, Lavinia must navigate a treacherous world of deception and betrayal. Will she be a pawn in a deadly game, or can she forge her own destiny and break the curse that binds her?The persistent patter of rain against the windowpane had always been the soundtrack to my confinement. For eighteen years, this small cottage had been my entire world, its walls a constant reminder of the unseen danger my father swore awaited me beyond the threshold.
Today, however, the familiar rhythm was punctuated by a new sound: my father’s voice, imbued with a rare lightness that made my heart leap. “I have good news, dear,” he revealed, a smile playing on his lips. “You can finally come to the pack with me.”
The words hung in the air, a dream whispered into existence. My breath hitched, a wave of disbelief washing over me before pure, unadulterated joy took its place. “Really?” I managed, my voice barely a squeak. He confirmed it, and I launched myself into his arms, unable to contain the surge of happiness that threatened to burst from my chest. Finally, after all this time, freedom was within reach.
