The Luna's Curse: 10 Days to Fall in Love
Victor Anozie · Completed · 200.3k Words
Introduction
“If I do, I’ll never love you again. That's worse than you dying…”
Banished. Cursed. Unclaimed.
Phina thought being chosen as a mate by a powerful Alpha would save her. Instead, she was used, betrayed, and thrown to the wolves—literally. Now cursed to die unless she's claimed within ten days, she's dragged before the one wolf feared by all: Asher, the ruthless Rogue Alpha King.
When their eyes meet, sparks fly. One word seals their fate: “Mate.”
But Asher is cursed too—one night with any woman, and he loses all ability to love her. He fights the pull. She begs for survival. Every moment burns with forbidden heat…
Until desire wins.
Will claiming her break the curse—or destroy them both?
Chapter 1
Phina’s POV
“What the heck are you looking at? Get back to work, you wretched mutt!” Thea, the head maid gnarled at me with fierce aggression. Her voice was a few points shy of being a replacement for a fire alarm.
“Yes ma’am…” I whispered under my breath as I returned my gaze to my own portion of the kitchen where I was trying to clean up the mess which Layla, the alpha’s daughter had made while trying to prepare a meal.
I had been staring at her walking away from the kitchen after having nearly salted the entire kitchen while trying to make meat loaf.
The sound of her light feathery voice still echoed in my head, “I heard Jason’s favorite was meat loaf…so I decided to give it a try…” she had been all smiles when she had made that culinary blunder and that made me
Having someone like her shout over you every morning was more than enough to keep anyone on their toes.
But the thing was that my actual toes were beginning to hurt, not because I had been on their tips since morning, but because my feet were hurting from having to stand since the break of dawn.
Being an omega was the worst thing to be especially when some Alpha with a notable reputation decides to visit for no reason
It all seemed like an intentional effort to make us miserable. But then, I could only hope the day fleeted quickly.
Moments like that made me wish my parents had put in a lot more effort in staying alive during the so-called rogue invasion, which I was told had claimed them. That way, I would have had some kind of support system to go back to after every grueling day. Or better still, I wouldn’t be there in the first place.
So much for imagination… it was the only thing that I could actually escape to.
“Quit squabbling with the water and get those dishes done, Seraphina!” Thea roared from behind me, almost leaving me to wonder if she had suddenly wolfed out.
The fear had knocked me into next week, and made me drop the scrub which fell on the floor. I quickly bent over to pick it up without looking back to know where exactly in the large, white-themed kitchen she stood.
“The princess made such a mess…” I stopped myself from speaking just in time as I didn’t want any more complications from then on. But the silence in the room was more than enough to let me know those words had gotten to her ears.
I couldn’t keep myself from shaking as the footsteps from behind spelled danger for me. Thea wasn’t going to spare me for that one and I didn’t have any words left in me to plead for mercy. That was a quality lacking in the royal family.
“Just what did you say?”
My heart was almost skipping out of my chest as I turned around to see Layla standing right there with her cheeks flushed red, her brows furrowed, and her eyes staring down at me like she was going to tear me to pieces that time around.
“I’m sorry, I…” I stammered, knowing that deep down, I just didn’t have any words to say to her. My immense resentment for her made me unable to fake a heart-felt apology, even to save my life at the moment. “It just slipped out of my lips and I—”
Layla cut my attempt at an apology short with a hard slap that nearly made my neck snap. That time around, I was really knocked into next week, with an almost paralyzed face. The right side of my face had gone numb from the pain.
At that point, I felt something die in me and at the same time, I felt something awaken. I just didn’t know what I could do with my weak, wolfless self against the princess who was already being trained along with the Alpha’s strongest men.
“Alpha Jason is here…!” A voice shrieked with palpable excitement outside the building, drawing everyone’s attention instantly. That looked a lot like my saving grace that time around.
“I’m not done with you, orphan…” Layla snapped me out of my thoughts in such a rude manner and that made me feel like she was going to skin me alive. “You just wait till after Jason leaves, and I will make you bleed so bad you’ll wish you’d died with your parents…”
Those words cut me really deep, but I couldn’t do anything as she was the princess. I could only burn as she walked away.
“Hilda..!” Layla yelled at one of the maids as she walked away. “Come make me beautiful…” The maid scurried behind her as she left.
“What are you still standing there for?” Thea picked up from where Layla had left off. That was way beyond annoying, as she interrupted the brief moment of quiet I had. “Go scrub those dishes…”
I spent the next couple of minutes scrubbing and scheming how I was going to face Layla after the day’s event was done. After she hit me, I really felt the urgent need to return the message she had sent me with that vicious slap and the name calling.
In no time, I was done with all of that clutter and was about joining the other maids who never said anything to me. I was all alone in my lonely world of misery which left me wondering if that was how I was meant to live forever.
That was a question for another time as I just wanted to get that session over with and get a quick breather before facing Layla.
I joined the line of maids with trays, going down the stairs, patiently keeping in step with all of them. A maid’s worst nightmare at that point was mistakenly dropping a tray for any reason. That would be instant execution.
We were soon at the banquet room which was still empty as they were probably exchanging greetings with Alpha Jason and his people outside.
Soon enough, footsteps and voices muttering sounded together to create a buzz on the other side of the door.
Just when I was about putting down the tray in my hand, I felt a throb in my chest as an irresistible cedar sent filled my nostrils. My heart flustered, my knees became wobbly, and my body began shaking terribly and I could barely hold onto the tray…
What the heck was going on? It felt a lot like what the mate pull was described as in those discussions I had overheard.
“No…” I muttered under my breath as a maid’s worst nightmare was threatening to become my reality. “Please no…”
I was still pleading with whatever was behind my shakiness when the door was pushed open to usher in a tall, blonde enchanting masculine figure with a green storm raging in his eyes.
His sharp jaw moved as he said the very word that had been on the tip of my tongue all that time. “Mate…”
And the whole room went still.

Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.
Emily’s affair didn’t just end her marriage—it erased the life she thought was guaranteed. Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?
Fated to the Enemy: The Alpha's Witch Bride
My touch tames his inner beast.
… Until I find another woman’s bite mark on his neck.
As a holy witch, I shouldn't be sneaking out for Zuri—a cursed shape-shifter from a rival clan.
But our forbidden heat is intoxicating.
When his monstrous Primal breaks free, slaughtering everything in its path, even his fiercest warriors cower.
I don't.
I walk straight to the blood-soaked beast, press my body against his, and tame him with a single, desperate embrace.
There’s just one problem: his clan betrothed him to a Shaman’s daughter.
I tell myself it's purely political. I tell myself his heart is mine.
Until tonight.
He sneaks into the woods for me. We share a deep, hungry kiss under the moonlight.
But as I pull back, my blood runs cold.
Right there, on the neck of the man I just risked my soul to save...
Is a fresh, undeniable bite mark.

Trapped in a story where fate has already decided the ending, Morwenna must choose whether to follow the script or rewrite it entirely. But if the world itself was never meant to belong to its characters, can she steal the male lead before fate steals her freedom first?
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?

They would dance the night away, but as dawn approached, he would vanish into the morning sun.
Lilly had given up hope of finding a mate, having a family, and leading a normal life.
But things are about to drastically change for her...
Secrets, lies, betrayal... and a baby on the way.
What if Lilly wasn't wolf-less? What if it was all a lie?
What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?
The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.
As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.
Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
The Lycan Kings and the White Wolf.
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
The Legacy Game

MOONLIT CHASE
But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.
Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.
Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.
When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.
He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.
And in his world? Love will get you killed.
