Cursed Alpha Cannot Touch Women Yet Demands a Wet Nurse
The Alpha's Curse Creates Forced Intimacy
Torin's inability to touch any woman makes Ella's role as wet nurse the only sanctioned physical contact he permits, turning a biological necessity into a charged proximity neither can escape. The curse transforms caregiving into a daily test of restraint, where every feeding session carries the weight of forbidden touch and unspoken tension.
Ella's Mateless Status Marks Her as Vulnerable
Without a mate or pack protection, Ella enters the Alpha's keep as an outsider with no allies, making her an easy target for rivals who resent her sudden access to the heir. Her isolation amplifies every slight, turning routine jealousy into lethal maneuvering where she has no shield but her own wits.
The Newborn Heir Anchors a Fragile Truce
The infant's survival depends on Ella's milk, binding Torin's duty to his lineage with his dependence on a woman he cannot touch. This fragile arrangement forces cooperation between two people separated by curse and rank, while the pack watches for any crack in the Alpha's control.
