Cursed and Fated: Offered To The Wicked Alpha Prince

**Mature Content** Adeline Valois has spent her entire life being treated as less than human. After losing her mother, she is left at the mercy of her father, his new wife, and her cruel stepsister. Stripped of her dignity and forced to work as a servant in her own home, Adeline learns to survive by keeping her head down and saying nothing. Then a royal marriage offer arrives. Instead of protecting her, her family sees an opportunity to get rid of her. Adeline is sent to marry the one man in Valdaria whose name alone is enough to frighten even the strongest warriors. Gideon Knightley, the kingdom's eldest prince and its legendary **Golden Alpha**. His title may sound noble, but his reputation is anything but. Gideon is feared for his ruthless nature, cold heart, and dangerous temper. But there is another secret behind the prince. Gideon is cursed. And according to the curse, the woman who wins his heart will pay the price in blood. No powerful family would ever risk sending their daughter to him. So Adeline is offered instead. A broken Omega sent to the palace like a sacrifice. But everything changes the moment Gideon meets her. The cold prince becomes fiercely protective. His interest turns into an intense devotion, and the man everyone fears begins to see Adeline as the one person he cannot lose. For the first time in her life, Adeline finds someone who does not see her as a burden. She finds a man willing to stand between her and the world. But Adeline has spent her entire life fearing marriage, control, and the loss of her freedom. Can she trust a man whose love is as dangerous as his curse? And when the truth behind Gideon's curse finally comes to light, will their bond save them—or destroy them both? **“I am a broken Omega, Prince,” Adeline whispered. “I only wanted the freedom I was never allowed to have.”** Gideon's golden eyes darkened. “Then let me show you what happens when you trust the wrong people.” He stepped closer. “From now on, you only need to trust me.”
