Red and Silver: The Wolf’s Curse: The Heart Of The Beast, #3

By Amber Lew

I'm Red, a fierce huntress and proud member of the Hoods. Our creed? Simple. Eliminate werewolves from existence. 

 

There's just one little problem, and that problem is called Silver—a seductive rogue lycan with a haunting past. He's the very beast I'm destined to destroy, yet something magnetic binds us.

 

Silver and I shouldn't even be in the same room. But fate throws a curveball, pushing us to ally against a common enemy.

 

The unthinkable happens. My grandmother, the Matriarch of the Hoods, is gruesomely murdered. The prime suspect? None other than Silver, the black sheep of the notorious Ironfang Clan. But there's a twist only I know: Silver can't be the killer. How? Let's just say we were a little... preoccupied when it happened. A bond like ours is forbidden, a scandal in the making, so we've kept it hushed. And now, sworn enemies or not, we're determined to unveil the real perpetrator.

 

While he's desperate to clear his name, I'm hell-bent on uncovering the murderer and the important secret message my grandmother wanted to relay before her death.

 

As we're plunged deeper into a world riddled with treachery, we realize our fates are linked by more than just burning passion.

So here I am, in a tale where the big bad wolf is larger, more menacing, and all-consuming. He hungers for me, the not-so-little Red, and trust me, the temptation to surrender is overwhelming...

 

Dive into the enthralling world of "Red & Silver: The Wolf's Curse", the first installment in a series that promises suspense, passion, and heart-stopping twists at every turn.

I'm Eromami and I write spicy fantasy romance books. In my stories, you'll encounter a strong female protagonist who may start with doubts but finds her inner power. Alongside her, you'll meet a captivating main male lead and intriguing secondary romantic interests. These adventures take place in detailed fantasy realms, featuring mesmerizing male leads who are shifters—vampires, werewolves, fae, dragons, and more! While the protagonist explores romantic bonds with other characters, she ultimately finds her way to a committed and monogamous relationship with the male lead, resulting in a happily ever after or happy for now ending. These reverse harem stories have no mm action, and the relationships depicted are mostly hetero, with occasional bi-curiosity.

The Wolf's Curse

Chapter 1

The White Werewolf

Ifelt the deep growl vibrating through the white werewolf's body as his green eyes scrutinized my face. He had me grabbed by the collar of my shirt, and the grip he had on me was so strong I could feel myself choking.

With one hand, I frantically scratched at the beast's paws, while the other tried to swiftly reach back and grab one of the arrows in my quiver. If only I could get a hold of an arrow and bury the silver head right in one of his eyes... But the werewolf realized what I was doing and, with a snarl, ripped the quiver from my back.

Try that again, and you're dead, he shouted, baring his teeth and bringing his face even closer to mine. His breath reeked of raw meat and blood, making bile rise in my throat. I fought the urge to gag, trying to remain defiant even as fear threatened to swallow me whole.

But I couldn't let him see how terrified I was. I forced a sassy grin onto my face, hoping it would hide the trembling of my lips. What's the matter? Afraid of a little girl with a crossbow? The words sounded braver than I felt, but I clung to them like a lifeline.

His snarl grew louder, and I knew I'd pushed him too far. His grip tightened, and spots danced before my eyes as my air supply dwindled. Desperation clawed at my insides, and all I could think about was how cold his fingers felt against my skin.

And then, just when I thought I couldn't take anymore, something shifted in his gaze. It was subtle – a flicker of surprise, maybe even wariness. But it was enough to make him loosen his hold on me, just for a moment, and I gulped in a breath of air.

A blur of movement caught my attention. Silver appeared out of nowhere, his claws out but still in human form, inches away from the white werewolf's neck. His yellow eyes glinted with fury, passion, and a ferocity that made my heart race. The lines of his face were drawn tight, and I couldn't help but notice how handsome he looked, even as he bared his elongated canines.

Let her go, Silver growled, voice low and dangerous. Or I swear, I'll rip your throat out.

The white werewolf shot Silver a murderous look, but before he could react, Ylfa came running towards us, fear etched across her face. No, Silver, don't! she cried, breathless. That's Ulrich, he's the alpha of...

The Nightshade Clan, Ulrich finished for her in a deep, raspy voice.

Ulrich, please don't hurt them, Ylfa implored, her eyes darting between me and Silver. They're with me.

Suspicion clouded Ulrich's gaze as he regarded Ylfa. And what are you doing with these two so close to our location? he demanded.

Silver is like me, Ylfa interjected, her voice urgent. He's a silver werewolf.

And one that can rip your throat out if you don't release her now, Silver hissed menacingly, still ready to pounce on the white werewolf.

Ulrich turned his head to face Silver, his green eyes narrowing with curiosity. "Are you Kjartan's son?'' he asked, a hint of recognition in his voice.

The mention of his father took Silver by surprise, and he relaxed slightly. Yes, I am, he replied cautiously.

With a sigh, Ulrich released his grip on my collar and I felt my feet touch the ground once more. He quickly snatched my quiver and crossbow away from me despite my feeble attempts to hold onto them. I could feel the tension in the air, as thick as fog, and I tried to remind myself that I still had my dad's knife hidden inside my boot. It wasn't much, but it was something.

I knew your father, Ulrich said softly, his voice losing some of its earlier menace. As he transformed back into his human form, I took in his physical appearance – he was undeniably handsome for a man in his early sixties, with snow-white hair, a beard, and those same striking green eyes.

In a sudden, swift movement, Ulrich grabbed the hood around
