Love Kills, Lust Heals

Kyle, the Alpha of the Night Wind Wolf Pack, was stricken with a fatal curse. His wolf instinct guided him to find the Purifying Vessel—a being with a crescent moon birthmark on the back of their right shoulder—before his thirtieth birthday.

Kyle had searched painstakingly for the Purifying Vessel for years, never imagining it would be a human. Resolved to break the curse, he took Edith, the Purifying Vessel, home with a domineering hand. Though he was meant to end her life, he found himself unconsciously growing attached. As the curse’s deadline approaches, the choice hangs heavy: should he die, or should she? How will William decide?
