12K9.1

Amara, a wealthy aristocrat's well-bred daughter with a secret to hide, is thrown into despair when she discovers she is not the Caldwells' biological daughter. The revelation comes at the worst possible moment -- her family has already arranged her marriage to the Cursed Alpha Prince, a man whose reputation makes brave warriors faint. With the real daughter refusing to go, Amara is pushed forward as the replacement bride. The Alpha Prince is cursed -- a dark affliction that twists his wolf and terrifies anyone who gets close. His previous brides did not survive the wedding night, not because he is violent, but because the curse manifests as a consuming darkness that destroys everything it touches. The prince has accepted his fate and expects his newest bride to meet the same end. But Amara carries a secret that changes everything: she is not entirely human. The bloodline she inherited from her real parents is the one thing capable of neutralizing the prince's curse. What should have been a death sentence becomes the beginning of a bond that neither of them anticipated. The replacement bride who was sent to die becomes the only person who can save the cursed prince, and the love that blooms between them is the most powerful antidote to the darkness that has haunted him for years.

Aliana Vanderbilt is the witty, fierce heiress to a multi-billion-dollar empire. She has always lived life on her own terms -- bold, unapologetic, and in complete control. Then one fateful night changes everything. After a brutal attack leaves her shattered, Aliana discovers that the mysterious man who saved her is not a guardian angel but something far more dangerous: a devil. The Devil becomes obsessed.

But the Devil is patient, and his obsession is not the fleeting kind. He has waited centuries for someone worth claiming, and the heiress who refuses to be possessed is the one person who makes eternity worth enduring. In a battle between a woman who will not be owned and a devil who will not let go, the only certainty is that neither will walk away unchanged.

In a world where words carry weight, a single moment changes everything. 'I'd rather die than be owned by you,' she screamed. He approached slowly, his expression cold and unreadable. 'You can't die without my permission.' The exchange captures the essence of their relationship -- defiance against absolute power, rebellion against a captor who refuses to break. She hated him for lying to her and kidnapping her. He would burn the world to protect her. Her captivity was supposed to be temporary, a means to an end in a larger game she did not understand. But the Devil who took her is not the monster she expected. Behind his cold exterior lies a man burdened by enemies, cursed by power, and desperately alone. His claim on her is not just possession -- it is the first genuine connection he has formed in centuries. As she plots her escape, she discovers that the Devil's world is far more dangerous than her captivity. Rivals want her dead, ancient enemies want the Devil destroyed, and the safest place in existence is beside the one man she swore to hate. The hatred she carried begins to crack under the weight of moments she did not expect -- his gentleness when she is frightened, his fury when she is threatened, his quiet confession that she is the only person who has ever made him feel human. The devil who claimed her may be the only one who can save her.
