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.
