Star Cursed
Second Book in the
Curse of the Beast Series
By Ashley Lavering
Book Description:
Chel
finished tying me to the chair and stood. “This is crazy.”
I ignored
her comment. “Go down to the basement.”
“Now, I know
you’ve lost it.” She folded her arms. “How will this prove that your giant dog
is the hot guy that got in your van?”
“I’ll
explain later. Just trust me.”
One of her
eyebrows rose.
“Please?” I
waited for her to nod. “Once you’re down there, I want you to whisper
something. Then come back up.”
“Whatever.” With
an eye roll, she left the room.
I focused on
her feet thumping against the wood stairs and heard the change when they
slapped across the tiled kitchen floor. Once the basement door closed, I
strained to hear her, but all I caught was a beetle scuttling across the
kitchen. Nerves tangled in my gut. Had I missed it?
“If this
doesn’t work, I’m calling the loony bin, Tay.” Chel’s voice rang so loud that I
jerked back, toppling the chair. I hit the floor with a thud.
Beast’s airy
chortle resonated from outside the window.
“Shut up.
This isn’t funny,” I told him.
Chel walked
through the door. “Geeze, what happened?” She hurried to me. “Are you okay?”
She righted my chair with a grunt.
“That
depends.”
“On?” She
cocked an eyebrow at me.
“On whether or not you’re going to untie me.”
“Oh my gosh.
I’m so sorry.” She scrambled to untie the knots.
My hands
slipped free and I rubbed my bruised arm. “What kind of friend are you?”
“What?” She
startled.
I shook my
head at her. “I can’t believe you’d commit me.”
“Wait, you
heard that?” Her eyes widened.
I repeated
it word for word.
“Whoa,
that’s, like, creepy and awesome at the same time. But I still don’t understand
how this proves your dog is a werewolf.”
The dreaded
moment had arrived and nerves attacked my stomach. “Because, Chel—he bit me.”
Seventeen-year-old Tayla will never forget Beast’s fiery-venom
spreading through her body like an infection. Now, with her best friend Chel’s
help, she must find a human true love before the last petal falls from her
enchanted rose or the full moon will transform her into a wolf forever.
But Tayla never expected that her biggest obstacle
would come from inside—a wolf presence threatening to take her very soul. At
every turn, the she-wolf exploits Tayla’s weaknesses and gains enough control
to sabotage her dates. Tayla struggles to control her unruly wolf and her
forbidden attraction to Beast. But can she resist his southern charm, the
she-wolf’s attraction to his alluring scent, and still fall in love with a human?
Tangled in a web of wills, Tayla must risk everything
to break the Curse of the Beast. With failure and possible death looming
overhead, Tayla will do anything to find true love. But will one moon cycle be
long enough to conquer her wolf and remain human? Or will she become a
permanent member of Beast’s pack? Find out in the second
installment in the Curse of the Beast series.
