The Cursed Awakening book 1

Shay Robinson Fantasy

What would you do if you found yourself caught between duty, love, and destiny? For Coral, life was never meant to be this complicated. When she agreed to a marriage contract with Future Alpha Jason, she thought she could outsmart fate—bend the rules of the mate bond and create her own happily ever after. But love has a way of unraveling even the most carefully laid plans.
Now, with Jason’s fated mate discovered and only two weeks left before their contractual bond expires, Coral’s life is on the brink of collapse. She’s hopelessly in love with the one man she can’t bear to lose, but destiny seems determined to tear them apart. Will Jason follow the path laid out by the mate bond and choose his destined mate? Will Coral lose not only the coveted Luna position but also the only love she’s ever known?
As Coral faces the elders, her father, and the weight of tradition, she realizes she’s running out of time. The ancient book of bonds and the sacred dagger sitting ominously on the table seem to seal her fate. Every second with Jason feels both like a lifeline and a countdown to goodbye.
The Contracted Mate is a heart-wrenching tale of love, sacrifice, and defying the expectations of a world bound by tradition. Through Coral’s struggles, readers are taken on an emotional journey of hope, heartbreak, and the unyielding question: can true love really conquer destiny? The Contracted Mate is a story for anyone who’s ever questioned the balance between fate and free will, and whether love is worth the ultimate risk.
