Moon's Curse: The Last Twin-Blooded Alphas

Johanna Thorne and her sister, Allison Thorne, marry into the Silverplume family, the most prestigious werewolf family in the Northern Wolflands, on the same day.

Their husbands are the only pair of pureblood Alpha twins in the family—Carlin Silverplume and Uriel Silverplume.

Throughout the continent's long history, fewer than ten such twin pairs have ever been born. They are seen as blessings from the Moon Goddess herself, a source of pride for the entire family.

Johanna is wed to the calm and stoic younger brother, Carlin. Her sister becomes the mate of the elder twin, Uriel, the family's strongest warrior Alpha.

But during a mission to hunt down rebel wolves, Uriel is tragically killed. His body is never recovered. With his death, his bloodline ends.

The news devastates the matriarch. She weeps before the altar, crying that this is punishment for the Silverplume family. With Uriel gone and no heir left behind, one of the family's two remaining pureblood lines is now severed. The future of their legacy hangs by a thread.

Three days later, the matriarch summons Carlin and Johanna to the council hall. Before the gathered elders and priests, she solemnly proposes a solution.

"Carlin shares the same blood and bone as Uriel... In the name of our ancestral spirits, I ask that Carlin form a breeding pact with Allison to fulfill Uriel's unfinished duty."

The blood moon loomed in the night sky. It was an omen of misfortune, signifying a night destined for upheaval.

Uriel Silverplume, one of the Alphas of the Silverplume pack, had died.

After getting ambushed while hunting down a group of rebel wolves, Uriel sacrificed himself to save his younger twin brother, Carlin Silverplume. Slain by the wolfsbane-coated silver blades of the hunters, he was wiped from existence.

It had only been seven days since Uriel and Carlin completed the mate bonding ceremony with Allison and Johanna Thorne, a pair of sisters.

Johanna, the younger sister, still remembered the way the mark on Allison's neck had abruptly darkened. Allison howled in pain before fainting. That was the start of the tragedy that unfolded next.

The Silverplume pack was the most powerful among all the northern wolf packs. Ever since the first matriarch, fewer than ten pairs of twins had been born in the Northern Wolflands. The birth of Uriel and Carlin proved that the Moon Goddess had blessed the Silverplume pack. Thus, they enjoyed much glory.

Alas, the Moon Goddess seemed to have made it so that this glorious fate came with a price. Now that Uriel was gone, to avoid the downfall of the pack, they would have to resort to something rather extreme and taboo.

"Based on the sorceress' divination, this is the only option," Maria Croft, Uriel and Carlin's mother, declared.

Her eyes were reddened with tears as
