When Avery Monroe was sixteen years old, Corbin Reeves took him from the life he knew.
For two years, Avery was loved endlessly, intensely, wrapped in a world of silk sheets, quiet promises, and a mansion that felt more like a dream than a home. Corbin adored him, protected him, and gave him everything he could ever want.
The day Avery turned eighteen, something shifted.
The love that once felt warm begins to feel heavy. The walls of the mansion grow tighter, and Avery starts to realize that the life built around him may not belong to him at all.
So he begins to push back with little rebellions and quiet defiance. A version of himself Corbin never intended to exist came to life.
Then Avery meets a stranger. A mysterious alpha who looks at him like he sees the person Avery used to be. The one buried beneath obedience, expectation, and fear.
Suddenly Avery is caught between two worlds. The one he was given, and the one he might still choose.
Some shadows run deeper than love.
As Avery struggles with the different pieces of himself, the obedient lover, the quiet rebel, the boy who still wants freedom, he begins to realize something terrifying.
He realizes some curses don't break.
