Description

Backstory & Setup
Hazel Lavoie has known Stavros Petrakis since childhood—he’s her destined mate. Their world shattered a decade ago when the Whiteridge Pack attacked their Luceres Pack in Northern Canada, forcing Hazel to flee with Zephyrus and Stavros. In exile among other wolf packs in Aromania, Hazel grew up hoping to claim her mate-bond nearly every day

The Reunion & Rejection
On Hazel’s 18th birthday, she returns to Aromania, brimming with hope and ready to fulfill the promise Stavros had made. But she’s stunned to find Stavros cold, hardened, and emotionally distant—the Beta harshly rejects her, shattering her dreams. Heartbroken, she leaves for Alaska.

Power Shift & Homecoming
Years later, the dynamics have changed—Zephyrus, now Alpha, alongside his powerful Beta Stavros, reclaim their homeland from the enemy pack. Hazel returns to the resurrected Lucania, only to confront the man who once rejected her. Stavros regrets his past cruelty, but Hazel’s heart has moved on.

Curse & Conflict
Stavros is afflicted by a mysterious curse. His power surges wildly; at times, he ferally transforms into a Grypwolf—a griffin-wolf hybrid. The curse is tied to his bond with Hazel, hampering his ability to claim her and keep her safe.

  • What “Cursed” Means
    • The curse manifests in extreme alpha power surges—Stavros shifts uncontrollably, at times almost becoming a mythical Grypwolf (dragon-wolf hybrid).

    • It's tied to his romantic bond with Hazel, causing him to oscillate between protection and rejection, love and rage.

  • Reader Appeal
    • If you enjoy intense paranormal romances with strong romantic tension, complex supernatural lore, and characters willing to fight various inner and outer demons, Stavros – The Cursed Beta is a solid match.

    • The story combines enemies-to-lovers, second-chance romance, and powerful paranormal elements—ideal for fans of fated-mate werewolf sagas.
