Fated to Ruin the Luna - Crimson Moon Oath
...“You can’t win this trial. The pack is against you. Your father is against you. Even your friend…” He paused. “Even she has betrayed you.” Kael’s eyes locked on mine, hard as iron. “So I’ll give you a choice. Trust me, and I’ll make sure you live.”
“Trust you? You just claimed me like I was some prize to steal. You said you would kill me if I lost control.”
“And I meant it,” he said, voice flat. “But I won’t let them tear you apart like animals. If you let me, I’ll fake your defeat. I’ll claim you fully...
On the night of her eighteenth birthday, Lyra Vale’s first shift should have bound her to her pack.
Instead, it marked her as the monster they fear most.
Born under the cursed Blood Moon Oath, she is fated to either unite the supernatural world… or reduce it to ash.
Now every faction wants her blood; the Vampire Courts whisper her name as the key to breaking their chains, while the Witch Sanctum swears she is a mistake of prophecy and her own pack and her family would rather see her buried than crowned.
But fate is never merciful. Lyra’s soul is bound to a mate who is both her fiercest protector and her deadliest enemy. A boy who swore an oath that might kill her… and break her in ways no blade could.
As betrayal coils tighter than love in a world where alliances shift like shadows and every truth has fangs, Lyra must decide: Will she chain the beast inside her or unleash it? This is because under the Blood Moon, even salvation tastes like blood, every choice bleeds and under the Blood Moon, will love be a weapon?

Chapter: Chapter 9: Ashes of Oaths.Kael’s POV“Don’t you dare die on me, Lyra.”The words left me before I could think, raw and sharp, carried on the growl in my throat. They didn’t sound like the steady voice of the Blackthorn heir I had trained to be. They sounded like the voice of a man standing at the edge of ruin.She writhed in the dirt before me, her body breaking against itself, as though her bones were being shattered and remade a hundred times in the space of a breath. Claws dug trenches into the ground, splintering roots and carving the earth open. Her scream tore through the clearing and echoed through the forest, too wild and too hollow. It didn’t sound like Lyra anymore. It sounded like something older and darker. I knew what it was.The Hollow Wolf, the monster I had been raised to kill. The shadow whispered about in Blackthorn halls, the curse my father’s bloodline was chained to destroy.I should have struck her down. I should have ended it then, before the thing inside her took full form. My blade was

Chapter: Chapter 8: Teeth in the Dark.Lyra's POV"Am I still me… Or did you burn me away?"The question fell from my lips before I could stop it, raw and splintered, trembling like a loose thread that once pulled would unravel everything. My voice didn't sound like mine anymore. It rasped, sharp and jagged, something that belonged to a creature clawing its way out of me.No one answered but only the forest.Mist clung to the trees, curling like smoke, whispering shapes in the shadows. The air was damp and sharp, heavy with the scent of rot and iron. Every sound, the flap of an owl's wing, and the crackle of leaves under some unseen thing thudded against my skull until I thought my bones might split. My veins were crawling with fire and ice both, the remnants of Eira's spell tangled with the Hollow Wolf's hunger. My skin buzzed as though something else was moving beneath it.I pushed myself up, legs trembling, the ground slick under my bare feet. My lungs rattled when I breathed. I felt wrong, too open and too sharp. I cou

Chapter: Chapter 7: Chains of the Coven.Eira’s POV"I never wanted you to find out this way, Lyra…"The words stayed in my throat, unspoken and burning, while the world fell apart around me. The clearing was no longer a trial ground, but it was a battlefield. The Hollow Wolf tore through the circle like a storm made of teeth and fire.Warriors screamed as claws shredded flesh and even Alphas staggered back in fear. The Blood Moon burned overhead, crimson light dripping down like poison and Lyra... my Lyra... lay crumpled in Kael’s arms, pale and shaking, her eyes flickering between human amber and that terrible white glow.Her gaze locked on me and I swear I felt her trust snap like glass under a hammer. Her eyes said it all: You knew. So gods help me. She was right and I had known for years. The weight of secrets in my past.When I was twelve, the coven marked me. I remember the smell of herbs burning in the Sanctum, the cold stone floor beneath my knees, and the sharp sting of a blade slicing my palm as I swore the blood

Chapter: Chapter 6: The Trial of Fang and Fire.Kael’s POV"She isn’t fighting me. She’s fighting herself."That was the first thought that tore through me as Lyra lunged, claws flashing under the crimson moon. Her strikes were wild and untamed, each one fueled by rage and something darker crouching inside her. When my claws met hers, sparks flew through the air, but I wasn’t testing her strength; I was testing her control and gods, she was losing it.The Hollow Wolf flickered in her every movement, in the way her shadow stretched across the earth and snapped at me even when her body hesitated. It circled her like a second skin, made of smoke and hunger, pulling her deeper with every strike.The pack howled around us, a cage of voices and every growl demanded her blood. The elders stood like stone pillars, their gazes sharp and unblinking. I could feel her father, Dorian Vale’s eyes burning into my back, the Oathblade in his grip like a second heartbeat.He wanted me to do his work for him and to equally finish the curse he had bee

Chapter: Chapter 5: The Trial of Shadows.Lyra’s POV“Don’t move, Lyra… It’s watching you.”Kael’s voice was low, almost drowned out by the storm of growls around us, but I heard it. Felt it. His words crawled under my skin, heavier than the moonlight.My eyes were locked on the thing that had peeled itself from me, my shadow come alive. The Hollow Wolf.It circled slowly, its body made of smoke and hunger, each step leaving the earth blackened beneath its paws. Its white eyes cut through the clearing like knives. It looked at me, not at Kael, not at my father, not at the Elders. Only me.My chest heaved as its lips peeled back into a grin that wasn’t a grin, its jaw stretching too wide, teeth glinting like shards of bone. My blood turned to ice.The pack backed away, pressing together in a circle that looked more like a cage. Some were half-shifted, their claws scraping the earth. Others whispered prayers under their breath.The Elder raised her staff, her voice hard as stone. “The prophecy is awake. The Hollow Wolf walks. T

Chapter: Chapter 4: The Blade and the Blood Oath.Lyra’s POV“Do it, Father. Strike me down… if you’re brave enough.”The words left my mouth before I could think, before I could stop them, and once they were out, there was no pulling them back. My voice shook, not with fear, but with fury that burned hotter than the fire still roaring in the clearing behind us.My father’s hand tightened around the hilt of the silver blade. The firelight made it gleam and for the first time, I saw it clearly, not just a blade and equally not just steel. The markings along the edge shimmered with runes, old and cruel. My stomach twisted. This wasn’t an ordinary weapon; it was made for one purpose. Probably, to kill me.“You think I won’t?” His voice was low, dangerous and cold enough to make even Rowan flinch behind him. My father’s eyes locked on me, the same pale gray that had once seemed like stone walls keeping me safe, but now they looked like tombstones.The circle of wolves pressed closer, breaths heavy, growls rumbling in their throats. I fel
