Prepare yourself, dear reader, for a romantic journey so intense, so alpha, so cursed — it had to be accompanied by a giant wolf head looming behind two partially dressed stock models in Photoshop purgatory.
Welcome to The Alpha King’s Curse, where the only thing more dramatic than the title is the entire cover’s commitment to over-the-top supernatural chaos.
Let’s start with the obvious: that wolf.
Yes, it’s there.
Yes, it’s massive.
Yes, it’s judging you with glowing blue eyes and the expression of a bouncer at a werewolf nightclub. It’s not in the background — it is the background. The forest setting has been reduced to vague frosty mist, and the wolf now floats over everything like a spectral dad watching you make bad relationship choices.
Next, let’s talk about our two leads — clearly caught mid-“we’re cursed, but hot about it” moment. She’s staring into the void with fire-red hair and contouring sharp enough to slice through the plot. He’s shirtless, smoldering, and holding her possessively like he’s afraid she’ll be Photoshopped onto another stock cover without him.
And what’s on his shoulder?
A tattoo?
A transparent ghost wolf?
A design element gone rogue?
We may never know. But it looks like someone tried to make it mystical and just ended up making it confusing. Much like this entire layout.
Then there’s the font stack of doom:
-
THE ALPHA KING’S CURSE is in a serif font that screams “I just downloaded this from a paranormal fantasy blog called ‘DarkThorns_RPG’.” It’s dramatic, sure, but it’s also fighting the kerning gods for survival.
-
And then comes the subtitle pile-on:
PART ONE
BLOODLINES BOOK ONE
Because nothing says “I planned a series” like printing the word one twice in succession.
Add in a mysterious little Bloodlines emblem tucked in the corner like a supernatural branding stamp, and you’ve officially got every paranormal romance cover trope crammed into one image like it’s afraid you’ll forget it’s ~dark and sexy~.
And don’t forget the magic smoke at the bottom — because clearly, no cursed alpha romance is complete without fog that looks like a vape cloud conjured from the depths of Wattpad.
Final thoughts?
This cover isn’t a design — it’s a supernatural checklist run amok.
Wolves? Check.
Bare chest? Check.
Smoke? Check.
Fonts that belong on a haunted gravestone? Check.
Spatial logic? None.
Taste? Gone.
Self-restraint? Never heard of it.
This isn’t The Alpha King’s Curse.
It’s The Graphic Designer’s Cry for Help: Part One, Bloodlines Book One.
