The Alpha's Forbidden Wet Nurse

Mara is a widow raising her young son alone, working as a wet nurse to survive. When she rescues a stranger bleeding in the forest and feeds him with the milk she has for her own child, she meets Cassian Blackthorn, an Alpha bound by a mysterious curse that causes him agony whenever a woman touches him. His family hires her as a nurse, and she becomes the only person able to get past his barrier without causing him pain. What looks like fate, however, is manipulation: Cassian's brother, Rowan, engineered the curse on purpose to seize power and make sure his own bloodline ruled the pack.

As their bond deepens, Rowan and his faction launch a systematic assault on Mara's reputation. They spread rumors, stage accidents designed to look like her mistakes and even accuse her of witchcraft, anything to drive her away and weaken Cassian's position. Mara becomes the perfect scapegoat: an outsider, a servant, a woman with no protection.

Rather than surrender, Mara fights back with the help of those loyal to Cassian, including his trusted guard and a captured curse-maker who knows the binding spell. When the truth comes out at a formal hearing, the curse shatters, Rowan's deception unravels and Mara recovers her standing. She chooses to stay with Cassian as an equal partner rather than as a possession or a remedy, and together they build a new chapter for their family.
