Bound by:moonlight
When city-born Seraphina Blake returns to her late grandmother’s mysterious house in the quiet town of Moonridge, she expects a boring transition period—sorting through dusty antiques and evading nosy neighbors. Instead, she uncovers secrets that claw at her family’s hidden past and awaken something wild within her blood.
At the center of Moonridge is Lucien Thorne—reserved, powerful, and far more than human. As Alpha of the Moonridge pack, Lucien has spent years protecting the town from enemies that lurk beyond the trees and among the people. He’s kept his distance from outsiders… until Seraphina arrives with her stubborn charm and inherited magic she doesn’t yet understand.
As strange dreams, cryptic journals, and nightly howls close in around her, Seraphina is thrust into a world of werewolves, rival packs, ancient bloodlines, and supernatural politics. With her awakening powers and deepening bond to Lucien, she must uncover the truth about her lineage before dark forces tear Moonridge apart.
But love between a wolf and a witch has always been dangerous.
And the moon is rising.

Chapter: Chapter 6The wind was cold that night. It swept through the trees like a whisper. Seraphina stood still in the clearing behind the house, staring into the shadows.She had heard a voice.A real voice.It wasn’t her imagination.“Not all blood is loyal, sister.”Those words echoed in her head over and over.She wrapped her arms around herself and looked behind her again. Nothing. No footprints. No scent. Not even Lucien’s sharp nose had picked up anything strange.Still, her skin tingled.Someone—or something—had been watching.The next morning came too fast. Kael had already packed supplies before the sun even rose. Lucien was sharpening his claws again, pacing back and forth like a restless dog.Seraphina walked into the kitchen, her hair a mess and her hoodie hanging off one shoulder.“You didn’t sleep either?” she asked Kael.He glanced at her and shook his head. “Did you hear it too?”She nodded. “The voice. It said… not all blood is loyal.”Kael didn’t look surprised. “Then it’s started.”

Chapter: Chapter 5The word clung to the air like smoke.“Sister.”Seraphina froze.Her legs, scraped and trembling from the run through the forest, refused to move. Her heartbeat roared in her ears as her eyes locked with his—those glowing, golden eyes that mirrored Lucien’s in color but carried a depth of something… older. More ancient.She gripped the bloodstained dagger tighter.Lucien stood protectively in front of her, his body tensed and ready to shift again despite the silver still poisoning his veins. “Back away from her.”The man—Kael—lifted his hands slowly. “I mean her no harm. You, either.”“Lucien,” Seraphina whispered, “he’s wearing the same pendant.”Lucien’s gaze narrowed. “That doesn’t mean anything. It could be stolen.”“I didn’t steal it,” Kael said calmly. “It was given to me—by Elira Blake. Your grandmother. And mine.”Seraphina’s breath caught. “That’s impossible.”“I know how it sounds,” he said, voice steady but not forceful. “But she had a son before your mother. A secret she b

Chapter: Chapter 4The attic was dark, except for the weak moonlight filtering through the small window. Seraphina didn’t move. She didn’t breathe. The creak of the floorboard behind her rang louder than a gunshot in the silence.She gripped the silver dagger in her hand, heart pounding so hard it drowned out every other sound.Another creak. Closer.She spun, slashing blindly.The blade met nothing but air.A low growl echoed near the stairs.Seraphina backed into the farthest corner of the attic, the dagger raised in front of her. “I don’t know who you are,” she said, voice trembling. “But I swear I will fight you.”The creature stepped into view.It wasn’t fully wolf. It wasn’t fully human, either. Its face was sharp and angular, with matted dark fur clinging to its arms and neck. Its claws dragged against the attic floor, leaving shallow grooves in the wood.But it was the eyes—those glowing red eyes—that locked her in place.“Little moonborn,” the creature rasped. Its voice was layered—like more th

Chapter: Chapter 3The next morning, Seraphina woke up clutching the silver pendant in her hand. It was still warm. Like it had never cooled. Like it was alive.She sat up slowly, her muscles sore from last night’s impromptu forest sprint. Her brain felt like it had been run over by a truck full of unanswered questions. Lucien. The wolf. The pendant. And apparently, a war?“Awesome,” she muttered, dragging herself to the bathroom.After a lukewarm shower and two Pop-Tarts, she sat at the kitchen table staring at the moonstone. It pulsed slightly in the sunlight. Not visibly, exactly—but she felt it.Then she remembered something.The attic.Her grandmother’s journal. Or spellbook. Or maybe a treasure map. Whatever it was, it had been tucked away, and Seraphina hadn’t had the guts to look too closely yet. But if anyone had answers, it was Elira Blake.She climbed the stairs two at a time and threw open the attic door. Dust motes floated in the slanting light from the small window. She shuffled past old f

Chapter: Chapter 2Back home, Seraphina wandered into the backyard with her coffee in one hand and a book in the other. Her grandmother’s garden was mostly wild now, though some herbs were still thriving in terracotta pots. Lavender, sage, rosemary—plants that smelled like spells and memories.She sat on a creaky lounge chair and flipped open her book, but the words barely registered. Her eyes kept drifting to the forest that stretched just beyond the backyard. Tall, quiet trees. Shadows between trunks. Movement that might’ve been wind—or not.Lucien’s voice echoed in her head: The woods aren’t safe for strangers.She shook it off. “He probably tells that to all the tourists.”Still, her eyes lingered on the edge of the trees.She wasn’t sure when she drifted off, but she woke up to the sound of something snapping a twig. Her heart thudded. She sat up straight.Nothing moved.But it felt… watched.“Probably just a raccoon,” she said aloud.She stood, brushed herself off, and went back inside, locking th

Chapter: Chapter 1 The road into Moonridge hadn’t changed. Same narrow turns, same looming trees, same potholes that made her car groan in protest. Seraphina Blake had forgotten how tiny the town looked compared to the city she’d lived in the past five years. Everything here was slower, older, and somehow always watching.“Last chance to turn around,” she muttered, adjusting the radio for the fifth time. Nothing but static. “Okay, creepy soundtrack. Cool.”When she finally pulled into the gravel driveway of her grandmother’s house, she sat in the car for a full minute. The house was exactly as she remembered—charming in a witchy, overgrown kind of way. Vines curled around the porch railings like they were clinging to the past. The paint had peeled a little more, and the front gate still hung at a slant, as if no one dared fix it.“Home sweet… weird home.”She popped the trunk, grabbed her duffel bag, and headed up the porch. The key, still hidden under the gnome statue by the steps, slid into the lock w
