The Masked Alpha's Healer Mate

She was destined to be his ruin… yet he would walk into the flames for her without regret. Aveline was stripped of all protection after her father’s death, left under the cruelty of a heartless stepmother who treated her like dirt beneath her feet. But fate was far from done with her. Sold off to a slave auction, Aveline was claimed for the Alpha King’s palace, a place spoken of only in hushed voices and dread. The people of Valthorne believed their ruler, Alpha Draven, was a beast in both name and nature, a king who feasted on flesh and ruled through fear. And when Aveline was chosen to serve within his private quarters, it felt like a death sentence had already been passed. Yet destiny had its own designs. An ancient prophecy, unyielding and merciless, bound her existence to the very man she feared most…a bond that could either seal his damnation or awaken his salvation. Would she survive the monster’s possession, or would she become the one obsession he could never release?
