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: CHAPTER 77 - The EndCHAPTER 77 - The EndThe dim light from torches hanging on the underground headquarters walls created dancing shadows, providing an increasingly dark and suffocating atmosphere. Luna stood in the center of the room with tense posture, her hands clenched tightly at her sides, her ice-blue eyes staring blankly toward the cold stone wall before her.It had been days—or perhaps weeks, Luna had lost count—since she sent the false vision to Aria. It had been long enough since she set the trap, using her magic to manipulate her sister's mind, making Aria see torture that had actually been perfectly staged. Luna was certain—very certain—that Aria would come running to save her. Aria was always like that. Always protective. Always putting Luna above everything.But now, with time continuing to pass without any signs of Aria's arrival, restlessness began to gnaw at Luna from within.She paced back and forth in the cold room, her quick and impatient steps creating echoes on the stone walls.

Chapter: Seventy SixCHAPTER 76Morning light crept slowly over the northern forest, sweeping across the tall trees with a gentle golden hue. A thin mist still hung among the foliage, creating an almost ethereal atmosphere—like a world suspended between dreams and reality. Birds began chirping melodiously, signaling the start of a new day in this secluded sanctuary.Aria opened her eyes slowly, feeling the warmth of the thin blanket wrapped around her body inside the simple tent they had erected last night. For a few seconds, she remained silent—trying to remember where she was. Then memory from yesterday's journey came flooding back into her mind: the escape from the ranch, the long journey on Kael's back in his wolf form, and finally arriving at this forest clearing at night.With careful movements so as not to wake Elena who was sleeping on the other side of the tent, Aria rose and stepped out of the tent. The fresh morning air immediately refreshed her lungs, carrying the distinctive scent of wet eart

Chapter: Seventy FiveCHAPTER 75The cold morning light swept across the front yard of the ranch, creating long shadows from rows of bodies standing upright waiting. Aria stood beside Kael, her heart beating with an irregular rhythm—a mixture of nervous anticipation and uncertainty about what would happen next.Before them, gathered Kael's entire wolf pack—Marcus and Elena in the front row, followed by Derek, Thomas, Sarah, and several other pack members that Aria recognized from the ranch. They all stood with alert postures, their eyes focused on their Alpha with absolute loyalty.Kael stepped forward, his posture radiating the natural authority that always fascinated Aria. His voice was firm yet calm when he began to speak, carrying across the yard with clarity that made everyone listen with full attention."You all know why we're gathered here this morning," said Kael, his eyes sweeping every face before him. "Today we will carry out an escape and hiding to save my mate, Aria, from the hunters."Aria fe

Chapter: Seventy FourCHAPTER 74A knock on Aria's bedroom door sounded soft but clear in the calm afternoon silence. Aria lifted her head from the book she was reading—or more precisely, staring at without focus—and heard a familiar voice from outside the door."Aria, it's Dr. Hayes," said a gentle voice from behind the wooden door. "May I come in to check on your condition?"Aria took a deep breath and rose from her bed, feeling a slight ache in her back—remnants from falling off Bella some time ago. "Come in, Dr. Hayes," she answered while tidying her slightly messy hair.The door opened slowly, and Dr. Hayes appeared with his old black doctor's bag that was already very familiar to Aria. The man in his mid-fifties smiled warmly—a smile that always made her feel like she was being visited by a caring father figure."How are you feeling today?" asked Dr. Hayes while closing the door behind him and placing his bag on the bedside table. "Elena told me you fell off a horse yesterday. That's quite a traumati

Chapter: Seventy ThreeCHAPTER 73Kael closed the bedroom door slowly, the soft click of the latch sounding final in the silence that hung in the air. He turned to face Aria who stood near the window, her posture stiff and tense like a cable pulled too tight, ready to snap at any moment. The afternoon light filtering through the curtains created the girl's silhouette in soft golden hues, but Kael could see the tension clearly visible in every curve of her body."Aria," Kael's voice was soft yet filled with concern he couldn't hide. He stepped closer with careful movements, as if approaching an injured and wary animal. "Are you alright?"Aria turned from the window, her eyes meeting Kael's gray eyes filled with deep concern. For a moment, she only stared at the man before her—the man who had become her anchor in the midst of the storm of her chaotic life. She bit her lip hesitantly, a gesture showing the internal struggle she was facing.Finally, after a few seconds that felt like eternity, Aria nodded slowl

Chapter: Seventy TwoCHAPTER 72The sound of keys at the front door and heavy footsteps in the foyer made everyone in the living room lift their heads with hope. Elena, who was sitting near Aria, immediately stood up, while Aaron straightened his back in his chair with a slightly tense expression."Kael is back," Elena whispered while walking toward the living room entrance.Sure enough, Kael appeared in the doorway with a tired but relieved face, followed by Marcus who looked equally exhausted. Kael's shirt was slightly wrinkled and there was dust at the hem of his pants, showing that they had just taken a fairly long journey."How are things here?" Kael asked while his eyes immediately searched for Aria on the sofa. When he saw the girl sitting with a blanket on her lap and a herbal mug in her hands, his expression changed to worried. "Aria, why do you look pale?"Elena took a deep breath, realizing she had to explain today's events carefully. "Kael, there was... a small incident this morning.""Inciden
