Moonbound Deception
Dr. Aria Blackwood thought she could outrun her past by hiding in the small town of Silverwood. She was dead wrong.
Three years after losing her sister in a tragic accident, Aria's ability to sense animal emotions has grown stronger—dangerously so. But nothing prepares her for the electric shock that courses through her veins when she meets Kael Nightshade, the mysterious ranch owner whose gray eyes seem to see straight into her soul.
Kael knows Aria is his mate the moment their eyes meet. This Alpha werewolf has been waiting centuries for her, but revealing his true nature could shatter the fragile trust building between them. Every stolen glance ignites a fire neither can ignore. Every accidental touch sends waves of desire surging through their bodies. The pull between them is magnetic, primal, undeniable—but Kael's secret could destroy everything.
When Aria begins dreaming of silver moonlight and howling wolves, when her mysterious abilities spiral out of control, she realizes Kael isn't the only one hiding something. The power awakening within her is ancient, dangerous, and tied to a bloodline she never knew existed.
But their passion-filled nights under the stars are cut short when masked hunters arrive in Silverwood, led by someone from Aria's past who should be dead. As Kael's pack comes under attack and Aria's powers explode to the surface, she must choose between the love that burns and consumes her and the sister she thought was lost forever.

Chapter: SixCHAPTER 6 – Something That Shakes My SoulI woke up gasping for air, cold sweat soaking my temples. Morning light filtered through the apartment curtains, but the strange sensation in my palm still felt real—warm, as if last night a giant wolf had truly touched me. I stared at my palm for a long time, hoping to find any trace. But, of course, there was nothing.I sat at the edge of the bed, hugging my knees, trying to calm my mind. That dream… or maybe it wasn’t just a dream? I could remember the details clearly: the forest, the moonlight, those golden eyes looking at me with recognition and longing. And that voice—“Finally, you’re home.”I took a small journal from the nightstand drawer, writing down everything I could remember. For the past few days, I had been writing about my strange dreams, hoping to find a pattern or explanation. But the more I wrote, the more it all seemed to make less sense.My phone vibrated. Dr. Hayes messaged me asking if I would be coming to the clinic ear

Chapter: FiveCHAPTER 5Kael's change happened instantly. One moment, he was a gentle and vulnerable man; the next, he transformed into an authoritative and dangerous figure. His aura completely changed—from warm to cold and frightening."What?" he asked sharply.Marcus glanced at me briefly as if hesitant to speak in front of me. "There's a problem at the northern border. Just as we feared."Kael's jaw tightened. "How many?""Three, maybe four. They've gone now, but they left... a mark."I felt the tension in the air as if an unknown danger was threatening. "What's going on?" I asked.Kael looked at me, and for a moment, I saw something wild and dangerous flare in his gray eyes. But then he controlled himself, and his expression returned to normal."Nothing you need to worry about," he said, but his tone was unconvincing. "Just a problem with... wild predators."I didn't believe it. There was something bigger than just wild predators that made Marcus and Kael look so tense.Kael stood up, his body

Chapter: FourCHAPTER 4 – Nightshade RanchIt took us about fifteen minutes through the land route. I followed his pickup with my car, and his silhouette really disturbed me.When we arrived at the ranch gate, I was mesmerized by the view. Nightshade Ranch was much larger than I had imagined—vast green land stretched to the foothills, with a large rustic-style wooden house that looked like it came out of an architecture magazine. Horse stables were scattered in various corners, and I could see dozens of high-quality horses grazing in the fields."Wow," I murmured as I got out of the car. "This is... amazing."Kael walked toward me, his chest slightly puffed with pride. "My family has been building this ranch for three generations. I'm just continuing the tradition."Before I could respond, two people came out of the main house. The first was a man with light brown hair and a friendly smile, almost as tall as Kael but with a slightly smaller build. The second was a woman with long red hair and gentl

Chapter: ThreeCHAPTER 3I arrived at the clinic very early in the morning, hoping that being busy could distract my mind from last night's strange dream. The shadow of the golden-eyed wolf still haunted my thoughts, and I wasn't sure whether it was real or just a hallucination from the stress of moving.Dr. Hayes was already there, preparing equipment for a small surgery on a cat. He glanced at me with a worried look."You look like you didn't sleep well," he commented while handing me a cup of coffee. "Bad dreams?""Something like that," I replied while gratefully accepting the coffee. "Maybe I need time to adapt to a new place."Before Dr. Hayes could respond, the familiar sound of a pickup truck engine was heard from outside. My heart immediately beat faster—I had memorized that engine sound since yesterday."Kael's coming this early?" I muttered, trying to sound casual even though my stomach was already fluttering.Dr. Hayes smiled thinly. "He said he wanted to check on Thunder again. Though I

Chapter: TwoCHAPTER 2 – Kael NightshadeThe clinic door opened, and my world instantly changed.The man who entered brought an aura that immediately filled the room—tall, muscular, with slightly messy black hair and sharp gray eyes like a storm. He wore worn jeans and a flannel shirt rolled up to his elbows, revealing muscular arms covered with small scars. But what took my breath away was the intensity of his gaze when our eyes met.Instantly, I felt something strange—like an electric current flowing from my toes to the tips of my hair. My heart beat so hard I was sure he could hear it. And even stranger, I could sense something from him—something wild, primitive, and very dangerous."Kael," Dr. Hayes greeted, breaking the sudden silence that had formed. "What's wrong with Thunder?"Those gray eyes finally left my face, and I could breathe again. Kael—so that was his name—glanced out the window where a large black horse was tied to a trailer."He got injured during training this morning," he ans

Chapter: OneCHAPTER 1 – SILVERWOOD, MY NEW TOWNMy fingers gripped the steering wheel tighter as the sign "Welcome to Silverwood - Population 3,247" appeared ahead. Three thousand two hundred forty-seven souls. Small enough to hide in but not so small that I'd become the main topic of gossip. At least, that was my hope.I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heartbeat, which had been pounding since this morning. The five-hour journey from San Francisco to this small town felt like traveling to another planet. Towering pine trees and winding, quiet roads now replaced the tall buildings and hustle and bustle of the big city.You can do this, Aria; I tried to convince myself internally. This is a new beginning. A chance to forget...I shook my head vigorously. No. I wouldn't think about that now. Not about Luna. Not about that night. It's not about how I failed to save her.The blaring sound of a horn made me startle. The old blue pickup truck in front of me stopped suddenly, and I almost cr
