Review
Cursed Prince’s Only Cure Is a S$$$e Girl
Prepare to have your heart captured and potentially shattered by a story that dives deep into the dark, complex world of werewolves, curses, and fated destinies. If you live for intense, high-stakes paranormal romance featuring brooding heroes, resilient heroines, and a connection forged in the fires of adversity, stop scrolling right now. *Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince* is the next obsession you didn’t know you needed.
Right from Chapter 0, we’re plunged into Sylvia Todd’s grim reality. Accused of being a traitor’s daughter – her mother, the former Beta, framed for murder – Sylvia lives a life of abject humiliation and slavery. Her days are filled with endless chores and casual cruelty from those who once respected her family. Her only solace is the burning desire to clear her mother’s name and the quiet support of her inner wolf, Yana. Sylvia’s life is a constant struggle, a testament to her quiet strength forged in hardship.
Into this bleak existence steps Rufus Duncan, the Lycan Prince. His reputation precedes him: cruel, bloodthirsty, ruthless. But the synopsis hints at a hidden vulnerability – a dark curse that turns him into a killer monster every full moon. This duality immediately makes him a fascinating character. He’s not just a typical alpha; he’s a ticking time bomb, a man wrestling with his own monstrous nature.
And then, fate, in its often-ironic way, declares them destined mates. A s$$$e girl shunned by her pack and a cursed prince feared by all. The stage is set for a clash of worlds, a battle against societal norms, personal demons, and a past shrouded in betrayal.
The initial chapters immediately establish the brutal reality of Sylvia’s life. The scene with the fat she-wolf demanding work before dawn and the disgusting humiliation by Cherry, the Gamma’s daughter, are hard to read but effectively highlight Sylvia’s suffering and resilience. You feel her pain, her exhaustion, and her quiet determination.
Then comes the explosive reveal of her first fated mate: Shawn Gibson, the arrogant Alpha candidate. The description of her smelling the delightful scent of her mate, only to find him engaged in a blatant act of promiscuity, is utterly devastating. It’s a cruel twist of fate that perfectly underscores the “unlucky souls” theme from the synopsis. Shawn is everything you want in a villain – entitled, cruel, and driven by a petty desire for revenge after Sylvia’s dignified defiance and acceptance of his rejection. His plan to send her, n$$$d and bound, to Prince Rufus’s room as a gift is chilling and solidifies him as a character you will love to hate.
Enter Prince Rufus. We first meet him through Shawn’s POV at the Alpha Ceremony banquet. He’s presented as aloof, intimidating, and completely unaffected by Shawn’s fawning. This builds on his fearsome reputation, making his inner thoughts and actions in the next chapters even more impactful.
Rufus’s POV chapter (Chapter 6) is where the story truly ignites. We get a glimpse behind the ‘ruthless’ facade. He’s suffering, bracing for the curse’s onset. But Sylvia’s scent… it’s a literal balm to his tortured mind. It calms the beast, brings him sanity. His wolf, Omar, confirms what we’ve suspected – Sylvia is his mate. This is a *fantastic* twist on the trope. She’s not just his soulmate; she’s his *cure*. This immediately elevates their connection beyond simple destiny and gives it a unique, life-or-death urgency.
Sylvia’s terrifying experience waking up tied and gagged, hearing the guards’ crude conversation about her fate as a ‘gift’ for the allegedly bloodthirsty prince, is gut-wrenching. Her despair is palpable. But then, Rufus enters, and the dynamic shifts again.
Their first direct interaction is pure, intense tension. Sylvia’s fear is raw and relatable. Rufus, despite his reputation and the internal struggle with his curse, doesn’t immediately act like the monster everyone expects. He unties her, gives her his coat. This small act of unexpected kindness in a moment of terror is incredibly powerful. It hints at the man beneath the monster, the one her scent can reach.
The scene where his curse is taking hold, and he pushes her away then pins her down, is terrifying but also layered. His internal struggle, the battle between the beast and the man, is vividly portrayed. But it’s the moment her blood scent, triggered by her struggle against his claws, *stops* the mania that solidifies their unique connection. It’s not just her scent; it’s her *presence*, perhaps even her pain or resilience, that anchors him. The shift from terrifying predator to possessive protector, holding her like a “dragon guarding its treasure,” is swoon-worthy in the most intense, dark romance way.
Their conversation after his episode in Chapter 14 is crucial. Sylvia, still understandably afraid and confused, confronts him with the rumors. Rufus’s reaction – laughing, but then serious about *her* not misunderstanding him – is telling. He reveals his curse, the secret he keeps hidden, and explains her role as his “medicine.” This honesty, coupled with his vulnerability (admitting everyone else who knew died), creates a precarious but powerful foundation for trust. His explicit promise “Nothing else. I won’t hurt you” is a lifeline for Sylvia and a promise of a different kind of relationship than either expected.
The added layer of Rufus offering to help Sylvia investigate her mother’s case is a brilliant strategic move by the author. It connects their fates on a practical level – her goal of justice aligns with his need for her presence. It provides a tangible reason for her to stay beyond just being his “medicine” or mate, adding agency to her decision.
Meanwhile, Shawn and Mateo’s chapters provide the external conflict and political intrigue. Shawn’s pathetic rage and jealousy after Rufus claims Sylvia are satisfyingly villainous. Mateo’s suspicion and fear upon hearing about Sylvia’s mate being a lycan prince reveal that Sylvia’s mother’s framing was almost certainly politically motivated, likely involving Mateo. His immediate plan to undermine Sylvia by spreading the traitor rumors to the imperial city ups the stakes dramatically. Sylvia isn’t just fighting for her life and her mother’s name within the pack; she’s potentially entering the treacherous world of the Lycan King’s court.
The pacing is gripping. Each chapter ends on a hook, compelling you to immediately click to the next. The alternating POVs add depth, showing us the internal struggles and machinations of the main characters. The world-building, though only hinted at so far (pack structure, Lycan royalty, mate bonds, curses), is intriguing.
This story is a perfect blend of beloved genre tropes – the fated mate twist, the cursed hero, the underdog heroine, the cruel villain, the political machinations – but executed with intensity and emotional depth that sets it apart. The chemistry between Sylvia and Rufus is less about immediate romance and more about a profound, almost desperate need that blossoms from a terrifying situation. It’s a connection built on trauma, vulnerability, and the promise of healing.
If you crave a romance that puts its characters through the wringer, features a possessive (but protective!) hero with a dark secret, and a heroine who finds her strength in the most unlikely of alliances, then *Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince* is an absolute must-read. The questions linger: Can Rufus truly control the beast? Can Sylvia find justice for her mother? Will their unconventional bond survive the machinations of their enemies and the demands of royal life? The only way to find out is to dive in.
Don’t wait. Start this exhilarating, heart-pounding journey now. You won’t regret it.
