Bound By Broken Promises
The night Alpha Kieran Steele turned down Aria Blackwood as his mate in front of the whole Crescent Moon Pack, she believed her life was ended. She spent three years establishing a new life as a renegade hunter, pursuing dangerous werewolves that pose a threat to human settlements, after being expelled and humiliated. She has vowed never again to participate in pack politics and is stronger and more deadly.
However, Aria is forced to cooperate with the same pack that sent her away as a string of vicious killings shakes the supernatural society. Even worse, she is compelled to date Kieran, the guy whose rejection almost crushed her and who now maintains that their mate bond was never really severed.
For the past three years, Kieran has been regretting his decision every day. He has seen his pack disintegrate from the inside out as a result of pressure from pack elders to turn down his "weak" mate in favor of a political alliance, and he still has nightmares about Aria's damaged eyes. He needs the one woman who has every reason to despise him now that the bodies are piling up and a rogue alpha is endangering all he has vowed to defend.
Aria and Kieran must face the falsehoods that destroyed them and the fiery heat that still burns between them as they pursue a killer who appears to know every move they make. However, the adversary they are seeking has a perverse link to their history, and a scheme that will force them to choose between their emotions and their pack.
Can two shattered souls create a link that is strong enough to withstand betrayal, violence, and the ultimate test of fate in a world where second chances are scarce and trust is a luxury they cannot afford?

Chapter: Choosing Home 2The ceremony was held at sunset in the sanctuary's main clearing, with a small gathering of people who actually mattered to us. Marcus Chen stood as witness from the hunter community. Damien represented Crescent Moon Pack, a gesture of goodwill between old and new. Sarah, the elderly omega, had insisted on attending, tears already streaming down her face. And a dozen wolves who'd committed to joining the sanctuary watched with hope and excitement.No Council. No elders who'd pressured us apart. No one who questioned our worth or our choice. Just people who believed in what we were building.I wore a simple dress; hunter practical but beautiful, in deep green that brought out my eyes. Kieran wore traditional ceremonial clothes, but without the alpha regalia. We were just two wolves, choosing to complete the most sacred bond our kind could experience.Patricia, the Council member who'd supported us from the beginning, agreed to officiate. She stood before us as the sun painted the sky i

Chapter: Choosing HomeAria POVOne month after the Council meeting, I stood in the clearing that would become our sanctuary and realized I was terrified.Not of the work ahead. Construction was progressing well, with volunteers from both Crescent Moon and neighboring packs contributing labor and materials. Not the responsibility. I'd faced down worse challenges as a hunter. I was terrified because, for the first time in three years, I was allowing myself to truly want something. To believe in a future that included permanence, community, and the man I could feel through the mate bond, working on the main building's framework."You're thinking too loud," Marcus Chen's voice interrupted my spiraling thoughts. He'd arrived that morning to help with the sanctuary's security systems, but mostly I suspected he'd come to check on me. "The bond's not even complete, and I can practically hear your anxiety from across the clearing.""Is it that obvious?" I watched Kieran lift a beam into place, his muscles straining

Chapter: New FoundationsElder Thompson, one of the few Council members who'd survived Sebastian's purge, stood as we entered. "Kieran Thorne. Aria Blackwood. You've agreed to address the pack about recent events and your... decisions."The pause before "decisions" carried judgment, but I refused to rise to it. "We have. Thank you for allowing us this opportunity.""Allowing?" A young warrior named Marcus stood, his face flushed with anger. "You don't get to thank us for allowing anything. You abandoned your pack. Turned your back on centuries of tradition. You…""I chose my mate over alpha power," I interrupted calmly. "And I understand that angers you. But I won't apologize for it."The room erupted. Voices shouting over each other, accusations flying, the pack's fracture laid bare for everyone to see. Through the bond, I felt Aria's steady presence, her quiet strength anchoring me.Damien's alpha command cracked through the chaos. "ENOUGH!" The room fell silent, wolves instinctively responding to authority

Chapter: The Rising FoundationKieranThree hours later, the medical team finally cleared Aria to leave the tent with strict instructions about rest and recovery. I carried her despite her protests, unwilling to let her walk even the short distance to the vehicle Damien had arranged."I can walk," she grumbled, but her arms wrapped around my neck, the mate bond humming with contentment that contradicted her words."I know. But let me do this." I settled her in the passenger seat, buckling her in with exaggerated care that made her roll her eyes."You're going to be insufferable, aren't you? All protective alpha male, despite not being an alpha anymore.""Absolutely." I closed her door and walked around to the driver's side. "You're stuck with me now. Better get used to it."As we drove away from pack territory, the sun setting over the forest, I felt something shift through the mate bond. Not a breaking or a weakening. The opposite. A strengthening, a deepening, as if acknowledging our choice to try again had solid

Chapter: Complete TogetherKieranWatching Aria rest, feeling her presence through the mate bond, I understood what I'd lost three years ago in a way I never had before. It wasn't just her. Though losing her had nearly destroyed me. It was this feeling of completeness, of purpose beyond pack politics and alpha responsibilities.The tent flap opened, and Damien entered, his expression serious. "We need to talk about what happens next."Aria started to sit up, but I gently pressed her shoulder. "You're staying put. Doctor's orders.""The doctor said I had cracked ribs, not that I was an invalid," she protested, but settled back with a wince.Damien pulled up a chair, looking between us. "Sebastian and Logan are both secure. They'll be transferred to the Council's holding facility tomorrow for trial. The pack is safe, the territory is secure, and the immediate crisis is over.""But?" I prompted, hearing the unspoken concern."But the pack is fractured." Damien ran a hand through his hair, suddenly looking every bi

Chapter: Strength In Love"Or we all die. Yes, we understand the stakes." Aria's voice was sharp with focus. "Damien, relay those positions to the bomb squad. Kieran, keep him conscious. If he passes out, the heart rate drop might trigger the switch."The next thirty minutes were the longest of my life. We worked frantically to keep Sebastian alive while specialists worked to disarm the bombs. Through the mate bond, I felt Aria's exhaustion, her pain, her grim determination. She was running on pure will at this point, her injuries severe enough that she should have been in a hospital herself.But she didn't stop. Didn't falter. Just kept working with professional efficiency, saving the life of the man who'd tried to kill her.That was a real strength. That was the woman I'd been too blind to see three years ago."Last bomb is clear," Damien's voice came through the radio. "Building is secure. Medical transport is ready."The relief was overwhelming. I felt Aria sag slightly, her control finally slipping as adr

The Alpha's Undercover Mate
Aubrey works for the national intelligence service and is often assigned various tasks that require her to go undercover—hiding her identity in order to complete her investigations. But just when it was time for her to go on her paid leave, an order from above came in. She was asked to infiltrate the werewolves’ pack because a serial murder case had been linked to the werewolves. Her job was to find who the killer may be, and her suspect happens to be the Alpha of the pack.
Aubrey was thrilled but also afraid about her new quest at the same time, because she knew how dangerous werewolves could be. And she knew they wouldn't spare her once her cover was blown. So, she did everything possible to camouflage herself, ensuring her mission could be successful without putting her life in danger. She picked the best disguise she could think of—changing her gender.
Alpha Logan knew there was something off about the new secretary who was hired for him. He could smell his mate distinctively on him, but being a straight guy, he felt maybe his new secretary must be related to his mate, so he decided to get close to him and find out how he was related to the mate he had been dying to meet.
Will Alpha Logan be able to detect that Aubrey is actually his mate disguised as a male? Or will Aubrey be able to keep her cover from getting blown by doing a perfect and clean job before disappearing from the pack? Or does the moon goddess have another plan prepared for them?

Chapter: The Evil MindAnnonymous“Did you speak with Max?” I asked my secretary. She looked better than the previous day. Yet, when I approached her, she acted like she wasn’t all dressed up to seduce me. I had no plans to push her; she’d succumb when she was ready. I was a patient man, you'd see. She placed a file before me. “Yes, he said you should wait for a week.”“A week?” I didn’t know at that point. It wasn’t as if waiting for one more week would jeopardize my plans, but I also wanted to get things done as quickly as possible. “Whatever.”“Are you sure we’d be able to penetrate the Silvermoon pack, though?” Linda, my secretary, asked, her voice skeptical and full of worry. I dropped the pen in my hand. “What are your concerns?”“I heard Logan is more deadly than his father,” she stated, an obvious fact. “And?” “I’m just saying…” she paused. “What if things go wrong? He wouldn’t spare us and our pack.” “You’ve been working with me for over two years. You still think I’m not as deadly as Logan?”

Chapter: The CaughtLoganI was thinking of confronting Aub after I left Jeremy in the elevator, but I didn’t know if that was the right approach. After pondering on it for almost twenty minutes, I decided against it, but somehow, my legs still found their way around his dormitory. I was only a few steps away from knocking on his door when I saw him come out of his room. He was holding a grocery bag. I hid behind a wall so that he wouldn’t see me. It was actually dark, so I doubted whether he would see me regardless of where I was standing. Aub kept looking around. He was checking to see if he was being watched. Why? He kept walking until he was close to one of the garbage cans we left on the streets for general use. Why would he leave the cans in his room to use the one on the street? Then, he slowly lowered the bag in his hand and began to remove its contents. I couldn’t see the contents from where I was standing, but I could see he was removing the package and discarding the outer wrapper. Wheneve

Chapter: The Subtle HintsJeremyI had always been the clumsiest among the three of us. Logan always said I wasn’t capable of committing a crime, because I’d easily be figured out. It was a miracle that I hadn’t done anything to give away Aubrey yet. Maybe because I knew her life was involved. I joined Aubrey as she picked up the pads and put them back in the bag. After we were done, she handed the bag back to me. It was hers. I looked at her, confused at what she was doing. Why would she hand me the bag, knowing Nathan would question me? Nathan narrowed his eyes at both of us. Then he folded his arms over his chest. “I ask what you are doing?”“We are getting groceries,” Aub responded, raising her hand to show the grocery bag. I raised mine too, but I eventually figured it was a bad move. “And why does yours contain sanitary pads?” Nathan finally asked what I was dreading. I cast a glance towards Aubrey. She placed me in that situation, so she should handle it. But the look she gave me showed she had no

Chapter: Perks Of Being A WomanI kept my eyes on Jeremy throughout the dinner. I didn’t want to lose him, because he was the only one who could help me at that moment. Because I knew my bags would be checked at the border, I didn’t bring any feminine products. Even the skincare products I brought were unisex. But I couldn’t bring sanitary pads. It would be even worse than being found with female-oriented skin care products.I needed to ask Jeremy to get me pads. There are different convenience stores in the pack; it wouldn’t be hard to get me one. I hope that by that time, the following month, I’d be out of the pack already.“Hey,” I waved at Jeremy the moment I saw him about to get into the elevator. He was with Logan and Nathan, so they halted, turning to face me.I scratched my neck nervously. “Can I speak to Jeremy for a few minutes?”Jeremy pointed a finger at himself, and a questioning look appeared on his face. “Me?”Did I stutter? I nodded, shining my eyes brightly at him.I saw the same look Logan had back

Chapter: BetrayedI reached for my tablet and went straight to my mail. My hands were shaking, which I found to be very disappointing. I didn’t even know who she was talking about yet, but shivers had run down my spine countless times already. It was a voice recording and a few pictures. In the pictures, I saw the director meeting someone I didn’t recognize. They shook hands, exchanged briefcases, and went through different directions. It was one of those shady scenes where some dark transaction is going on, you’d see in movies. I played the recording. The director: I heard the alpha’s second in command is digging around for information on Aub, the one Aubrey is pretending to be.The Stranger: What will you do about her? She’s not even in on this?The director: I don’t know. She’s the only one capable of getting her hands on his financial records.The stranger: Then hasten her before the end of the month, and if she can’t, we can get rid of her.The director: Who will get rid of her?The stranger:

Chapter: The Looming DangerI cast a glance towards Logan one last time before I faced Jeremy. “If there’s anything I feel for Logan right now, it’s sheer contempt.”“Even though he saved your face and your life about an hour ago?” He asked, folding his arms together.I shrugged. “It wasn’t a big deal.”“Right.” He walked closer and took a seat beside me. “Seeing how you fought those men yourself, you could have survived.”He saw me, too.“Well…. I’m grateful he came to help.”“Is there something you are hiding from me, Aubrey?” Jeremy asked, staring at me intently as if he were searching my eyes for answers.I chuckled nervously. He was doing that thing he usually does again—giving me a suspicious look.“What can I possibly be hiding from you?” I raised my hands with my shoulders and shrugged.He tilted his head, his eyes still holding mine. “Care to explain how you are so good at fighting?”“Oh…” I needed to come up with one excuse.“I picked up some skills from men on the streets. Self-defense, you know?” I c
