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: 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

Chapter: Seventy OneCHAPTER 71Aaron took an additional pillow from the nearest chair and placed it behind Aria's back to provide better support. "Okay, we'll start with basic meditation techniques," he said while pulling his chair closer to the sofa. "This isn't about forcing visions, but about opening yourself to receive information that might already be around you."Elena sat on the other side of the sofa, her hands resting on the armrest in a position ready to provide support if Aria needed it. "Remember, honey, this is the first attempt. Don't be too hard on yourself if it doesn't work right away."Aria nodded, though she could feel the heavy expectation in her chest. The hope to find Luna was so strong that she was afraid of disappointing herself and others if she failed. "I understand. But... I really want this to work.""And that's good," Aaron said with a calming voice. "Strong motivation will help. But don't let that desire become pressure that blocks the process."Aaron stood up for a moment a

Chapter: SeventyCHAPTER 70Aaron ran with astonishing speed toward where Aria had fallen, paddock dust flying behind his hurried steps. His heart was beating so fast that he could hear the sound of his own blood pulsing in his ears. When he reached Aria, the girl lay motionless with her eyes closed, her face pale as paper, and there was a little blood at the corner of her lips."Aria, hold on," Aaron whispered with a trembling voice, kneeling beside the girl's body. His hands carefully examined Aria's head and neck, looking for signs of serious injury. "Please don't let anything be broken," he prayed silently while feeling Aria's skull with very gentle movements.In the corner of his eye, Aaron saw Bella starting to get restless and looking like she would run away from fear. The horse stepped backward with widening eyes, her breathing labored after being startled by Aria's scream and the sudden incident.Without taking his attention away from Aria, Aaron let out a special sharp and melodic whistle—a

Chapter: Sixty NineCHAPTER 69Aria sat on the edge of her bed with a blank sheet of paper in her lap, the blue-tipped pen in her hand trembling slightly from the exhaustion that still haunted her body. The warm morning sunlight entered through her bedroom window, creating dancing light patterns on the wooden floor, but that warmth couldn't chase away the cold she still felt in her chest."Think, Aria," she whispered to herself, biting the tip of the pen while staring at the blank paper. "Where are all the places Luna might visit? Where could she go when her powers disappeared and she felt desperate?"Her thoughts drifted back to the days before Luna disappeared—how her sister seemed restless, often staring out the window with an expression that was hard to read, and talking in her sleep about places from their past. Luna always had a tendency to return to places that held emotional meaning when she was in trouble.With movements that were slow but steady, Aria began to write:Places Luna might visit:Sh

Chapter: Sixty EightCHAPTER 68Elena walked toward the living room with somewhat hurried steps, carrying a tray filled with cups of green tea that were still steaming with warm vapor. The calming aroma of mint and chamomile filled the air, creating a refreshing contrast to the tense atmosphere that had enveloped the ranch since Aria returned from her dangerous adventure in the forest."This must be so difficult for you," Elena murmured while carefully arranging the cups on the coffee table. Her hands trembled slightly—not from the weight of the tray, but from the worry that still filled her mind. Seeing Aria return in such a traumatized condition, with empty eyes and a trembling body, had reminded her of the darkest days in her own life.When Elena entered the living room, she found a scene that was familiar yet heartbreaking. Aria sat on the sofa curled up like a frightened child, her body still trembling occasionally despite being wrapped in a thick blanket. Kael sat beside her at a distance close enou

Chapter: Sixty SevenCHAPTER 67Suddenly, a familiar warm sensation began to spread from Aria's right wrist. The crescent moon tattoo that had been hidden beneath her skin all this time began to glow with a soft silvery light, as if responding to the presence of the wolf before her."What is—" Aria looked down at her hand, her eyes widening as she saw the light emanating from her tattoo. "This... this can't be possible..." her voice trembled, a mixture of awe and fear. The warmth grew stronger, flowing through her blood vessels like a river of energy that had long been dormant, burning every cell in her body with a power that was foreign yet familiar.The wolf retreated further, its body trembling with a mixture of fear and... respect? Its sharp eyes now gazed at Aria with an expression that almost resembled worship. "No... impossible..." Aria murmured, her legs beginning to shake as she realized the respectful gaze from the creature that had been about to pounce on her just seconds ago.Aria felt her hea
