The Alpha’s Unclaimed Mate by Jaymin Snow

He rejected his fated mate to save her life.
Then broke in one feral night — and sealed her fate instead. The curse he feared is already written on her skin.

When the mate bond ignited with Lucas Steele, the icy Alpha of the Silver Crown Pack, he shoved me away. Now, I’m forced to smile through his engagement to another woman.
Fine. I kept my spine straight through every cold dismissal.
I dressed in red. I danced with strangers. I made sure he watched.
I wasn’t testing him. I was done waiting for a man who didn’t want me.
Instead, he cracked. We burned.
The next morning, I woke up with black marks climbing my collarbone.
And Lucas was watching me like he’d destroyed us both.

Love is a death sentence.
A deadly curse runs in my blood.
If I claim my fated mate, she dies.
I shattered Sienna’s heart to save her life.
I told myself her hatred was the price of her survival.
But seeing another man touch her broke my iron restraint.
One night of weakness. One feral bite.
Now, she’s wearing my curse on her skin.
I will burn down every enemy, every secret, and every monster between us before I let my silence become her death sentence too.
