Marked by the Shadow Alpha

One bite bound her to him.
One touch might kill her.

Mira never believed in monsters-until the night one sank his teeth into her.

Dragged into a hidden world ruled by shadows and power, she finds herself claimed by Darius, the ruthless alpha who saved her life... and cursed it in the same breath. The bond between them should be unbreakable. Instead, every moment in his presence weakens her. Every touch steals her breath. Every heartbeat draws her closer to death.

Darius has spent his life mastering control. As alpha, nothing touches him-nothing shakes him-until Mira. She is his mate. His weakness. And the one thing he cannot allow himself to want.

Because the truth is far worse than either of them imagined:

If he claims her... she won't survive it.

But staying away is no longer an option.

As the bond between them grows stronger-and deadlier-Mira and Darius are forced into a dangerous game of desire and restraint. With enemies closing in and the curse tightening its grip, they must decide what matters more:

Survival... or each other.

Because some bonds are not meant to save you.

Some are meant to destroy you.
