Moonlight Knows My Name

The Hartmann and the Blackthorn had a deal. She was supposed to stay dead. Now, she’s ruined it all. Eve Hartmann lives in exile, quiet, hidden, and broken, enduring humiliation and abuse from her boss without being able to fight back. She is a barista with secrets in the human world, and a child no one must know about. Especially not him, the Alpha who was promised to make her his Luna and then turned around, tossing it all away. The same Alpha who was about to marry her sister. Alpha Dorian Voss rules the Blackthorn pack with a strong hand, and his fame has spread across lands and territories, reaching even the human world. But when Eve returns, alive and aflame with secrets, everything he has carefully built begins to unravel. The buried past rears its head, and in its heart is a child that carries his blood. Then, there's Malik. Dorian's cousin. He is the charming stranger with ancient blood and eyes that see beyond the physical. He wants Eve. He protects her. And perhaps, he is in love with her. But Malik is already taken. His girlfriend is one of the last witches, and she's ready to burn the pack to ashes for revenge. Eve’s heart is torn between two wolves, the one who broke her or the one who might break the earth to have her. But secrets don't remain buried, and this one might just tear their world apart.

Chapter: Chapter Five
Eve’s POVI met Danny sitting in the kitchen, exactly where I left him. “Mommy!” he chirped, getting off the stool and running into my arms. “The bad man tried to take me away! Where have you been?”“I’m sorry, baby,” I whispered, pulling him into my arms. “He can’t touch you anymore. We won’t be coming back here.”He sniffed and nodded, his head bobbing in the crook of my shoulder. “But Danny, I have a question to ask. Will you answer mommy honestly?”He pulled away from me slowly, looking into my eyes. “Yes, Mommy.”"Earlier today, you told me your Daddy had become Alpha. Who told you that? Do you know what an Alpha is?" I have tried raising Danny away from any knowledge of who we truly were, but someone I had failed in doing that to perfection. He shook his head. “I don’t know, Mommy. I don’t know how I know.”I sighed. “Baby, you’re not making any sense right now. How don’t you know who told you? Did someone come into the kitchen when I was gone? Is that it? Did they ask you no

Chapter: Chapter Four
Eve’s POVI didn't know what was happening to me. One minute, I was nursing the sharp pain from Mr. Rochester's slap, and the next, a blinding rage overtook me.My wolf had been contained for the last five years, but today, she refused to stay hidden. But as she wrestled for the second time that day, I knew it was more than her trying to fight for control.I could feel the power in my hands, ebbing like a ball of fire. My eyes no longer felt like mine, and my toes were digging into the ground. Mr. Rochester's eyes fell wide open. His poor human mind couldn't even begin to comprehend what was happening.How could he, when even I had no idea?I tried to stop myself, tried to close my eyes and bring my world under control. But nothing was working. Someone screamed my name, but it sounded too far away. I took a step closer to the man who was just about to hit me, but I never got close enough as strong arms wrapped themselves around my waist, pulling me away.“Stop! Let me go!” I thrashed

Chapter: Chapter Three
Malik’s POVI didn’t hear what was said on the other side, but the look in her eyes was enough to tell me something was wrong. She got back up, a faraway expression on her face. She reached to take my cup from me, but I moved away from her grasp."Are you fine?" I asked, leaning in. She looked like she needed a seat, but at the same time, needed the whole day off.Her nod came mechanically, like every other thing about her. Every inch of her being had been sharpened into process and order, almost like she had buried who she really was inside.“I have to check on the croissant in the kitchen,” she mumbled, racing away from view. Sighing, I pulled away from the counter and returned to my table at one end of the café. I was grateful the minute I took my seat, because Morwena crossed the sidewalk and pulled the door open. Her hair caught in the wind before the door closed in behind her, and her eyes landed on me.A smile lifted her features as she waved, navigating the tables until she r

Chapter: Chapter Two
Eve’s POVI was sentenced out of the pack that same morning, pushed out of my home like I was a stranger. I found myself roaming in the wild with tears streaking down my face. I hid from rogues when the heat period came, afraid that I would be molested and killed.An unclaimed wolf attracted a lot of danger. My scent was savoury to the noses of others, and they were unable to resist. It was the reason I changed direction and headed instead to the human territory.Here, I knew that I was safe. At least, save from wolves.But not my boss, the owner of the café I worked at. I heard his voice from where I worked, bent over the croissants. My job was at the bar, yet sometimes, I was made to come in here even though my pay hadn't been increased. “Stay here, honey,” I went on my knees, whispering to the boy who had become my whole life in the last four years. The boy who had the same eyes as the man I saw last before I was pushed into the wild.“Mummy will be right back.”He nodded, watchi

Chapter: Chapter One
Eve’s POVThe moonlight bathed us in its immaculate glow, teasing the soft highlights of our features. I smiled as Dorian moved, the whispers of the sheets rousing me awake. “Shhh,” he whispered, pushing back a stray curl from my face. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you up.”"It's okay." I felt the soreness between my thighs as I tried to sit up, reminding me of the kind of night we just had. Alpha Dorian watched me like I was the most intriguing thing he'd ever come across.Yet, it still wasn’t complete. “Where were you going?” I questioned, my eyes scanning his bedroom for the clock. It was a few minutes past 4 am. The entirety of the pack was bound to still be asleep. “I wanted to get a glass of water,” he replied. He still had that look in his eyes when he leaned closer and planted a chaste kiss on my lips.I waited for the sensation from last night. The heat that had engulfed us both. How we couldn't keep our hands off each other. But a lot had changed. Although Dorian stil
