Marriage Contract with my Cursed Alien Mate

When Tempest Riverrun is taken from Earth, survival is the only thing she cares about.

Back home, she was already at her breaking point—standing on the edge of a life she didn’t even want anymore. But instead of dying, she wakes up somewhere else.

A different world.

Thraqe—a brutal alien planet shaped by war, filled with dangerous creatures, and ruled by rules she doesn’t understand.

The High Council gives her two choices.

She can go out alone into the wild and try to survive on her own…

Or she can pick a mate from one of their warriors and live under his protection for six months.

To them, it’s an easy decision. Their species is struggling after years of war, and human women are seen as valuable—someone who could help rebuild their future.

But not every warrior is an option.

Dron is feared by everyone.

Dark scars twist along his arm, marking him as cursed—a man made for violence, not peace. When the war ends, others are celebrated.

He’s locked away.

Hidden behind reinforced walls like something dangerous.

No woman would ever choose him.

Until Tempest does.

What starts as a desperate choice quickly turns into something more complicated. Dron might look terrifying, but with Tempest, he’s unexpectedly gentle. Under all those scars is someone loyal, protective… and completely unfamiliar with affection.

He’s never been chosen before.

Never been wanted.

Now Tempest has to figure out how to survive—not just on a hostile alien planet, but within a culture she barely understands, and beside a powerful warrior who now sees her as his mate.

But not everyone agrees with humans being there.

Some believe women like Tempest are the key to saving their people.

Others think they’ll ruin everything.

And the moment Tempest chooses the most feared warrior on Thraqe, she steps right into the middle of that conflict.

Because on this planet, mates aren’t temporary.

And the man everyone calls cursed?

He’s starting to believe she was always meant to be his.
