Sacrificed to the Cursed Alpha

Mirai Yume Romance

To my birth pack, I was a defect. To the Alpha King, I am salvation.
At eighteen, Maria Annovazzi committed the ultimate sin in a world ruled by predators: she failed to shift. Branded a useless, wolf-less human, her ruthless pack leader dragged her to the Obsidian Citadel, offering her up as a peace sacrifice to the feared Alpha King, Renato di Rubini.
Everyone knows about Renato’s dark blood curse. It is a violent, generational madness that burns him from the inside out, turning him into a rabid monster that tears his own courts apart. Chained to his massive, rune-carved bed, Maria braces for a brutal execution. She expects a beast.
Instead, she finds a tortured sovereign whose fractured amber eyes beg her for mercy.
The moment Renato’s scorching skin meets hers, a shockwave of raw, intoxicating relief echoes through them both. Maria doesn't possess an inner wolf—she carries an ancient, dormant lunar lineage. Her touch is the only cooling tide capable of anchoring his feral mind.
To protect the kingdom from his rivals, they strike a lethal, high-stakes pact. By day, they play their parts perfectly: the ruthless tyrant and his terrified, broken captive. But behind locked doors, the mask slips. Behind closed doors, Maria belongs to his bed, using the blinding, explicit heat of their physical connection to transfer her soothing magic and keep his curse at bay.
But as ambitious lords plot rebellion and dangerous secrets about Maria's true heritage come to light, the fake arrangement morphs into a fiercely possessive, territory-shifting bond.
Maria was thrown to the monster to die. Instead, she just discovered she holds the ultimate power over the most dangerous man alive.
