Marked From Birth
She was the daughter they tried to erase. Now, she is the Queen they cannot escape.
In the Moon Shadow Pack, Audrey is a ghost in her own home. Born on a night of prophecy but appearing to be a "powerless" human, she has spent twenty-one years as a servant to her cruel stepmother and her pampered half-sister, Samantha. Her father, the Alpha, looks at her and sees only the death of his beloved wife—a stain on his legacy that needs to be removed.
When a marriage alliance is struck with the powerful and mysterious Silver Pack, Audrey’s family concocts a deadly plan. They will veil Audrey and swap her for Samantha, sending her to marry the blind Alpha, Lucas. They believe the union will kill her instantly, leaving the path clear for Samantha to claim the crown once the "sacrifice" is complete.
But the prophecy had a secret.
The moment Lucas claims his bride, his sight is restored, and the power dormant in Audrey’s blood erupts. She isn't a human, and she isn't a mere werewolf—she is the long-lost White Wolf, the True Luna of the Silver Pack.
As Audrey rises from the ashes of her betrayal, she is no longer the girl who cowers in the shadows. With a powerful Alpha at her side and an ancient magic in her veins, she is returning home. And this time, it won't be to serve—it will be to burn down the house that tried to destroy her.

Chapter: The Echo in the BoneChapter 17: The Echo in the BoneThe Guardian of the Threshold lunged, a mass of shadow and jagged silver spikes that moved like liquid mercury. Lucas stepped forward, his claymore whistling through the air as he parried a strike from one of the creature’s bladed limbs. The impact sent a shower of sparks across the tunnel, the force of it vibrating through the floor."Audrey, get back!" Lucas roared, his wounded shoulder bleeding through his tunic.But Audrey didn't move. Her gaze was locked on the spirit of the White Wolf chained to the Guardian’s back. The woman’s eyes weren't just golden; they were a mirror of Audrey’s own soul."Strike!" the Guardian bellowed, its voice a tectonic shift. "Strike the ancestor and claim the throne of light! Only the heart that can sever its own past is fit to lead the future!"Audrey ignored the Guardian. She ignored the chaos of Lucas’s battle. She stepped into the reach of the creature, her hands raised, palms open."I am not here to sever my past

Chapter: The Trial of the MindChapter 16: The Trial of the MindThe air inside the Gauntlet was thick and tasted like old coins and ozone. Audrey stepped onto the shifting floor, her hand trembling in Lucas’s grip. He was still pale, his breath hitching with every step, but his grip was like iron."Don't look at the walls," Lucas warned, his voice a low vibration. "The Gauntlet isn't made of stone, Audrey. It’s made of the things we try to hide from ourselves. It will use your amnesia against you. It will try to fill the holes in your memory with nightmares.""What if I can't tell the difference?" Audrey whispered."Follow the pull in your ribs," he reminded her. "The string that leads to me."As they moved deeper, the light from the surface vanished. Suddenly, the walls around them began to ripple like water. The stone dissolved into the familiar, soot-stained wood of the Moon Shadow kitchens.Audrey gasped, her knees buckling. "No... I'm back. I’m back in the dark.""It's an illusion, Audrey!" Lucas shouted, but

Chapter: The Judges of the MoonChapter 15: The Judges of the MoonThe arrival of the Great Council was not marked by trumpets, but by a sudden, unnatural silence that smothered the mountain. The birds stopped singing; the wind ceased its howling. Even the forge fires of Kharos seemed to dim as three black-and-gold carriages, pulled by horses with eyes of solid obsidian, rolled through the gates.Audrey stood on the balcony of the High Hall, her fingers digging into the cold stone railing. Beside her, Vane stood in full ceremonial plate, her face a mask of iron."They are here," Vane whispered. "The Arbiters. The High Inquisitor herself, Lady Morana. She hasn't left the Council Seat in fifty years. To come here personally... she wants to see the White Wolf executed.""Lucas should be here," Audrey said, her voice trembling."The Alpha is still in the healing trance," Vane reminded her, her tone softening slightly. "That mercenary’s blade was dipped in wolfsbane and silver. If he wakes too early, the poison will reac

Chapter: The Stranger in the MirrorChapter 14: The Stranger in the MirrorThe journey back from the Forbidden Grove was a silent funeral for a love that only one person remembered.Audrey sat atop her horse, but she rode like a prisoner. Every time Lucas drew near, she stiffened, her eyes wide with a frantic, bird-like fear. To her, he wasn't the man who had restored her soul; he was a massive, scarred warrior-king who had snatched her from the only life she knew—miserable as it had been."You're staring again," Audrey whispered, not looking at him. Her hands gripped the reins so hard her knuckles were white."I'm watching for the trail," Lucas lied. His heart felt like a hollowed-out tree, cold and brittle. "The Blackwood is dangerous.""You keep calling me 'Luna,'" she said, finally turning to look at him. The golden sparks that usually danced in her irises were gone, replaced by a dull, flat brown. "But I’m just Audrey. I don't have a pack. I don't have... whatever 'white wolf' power you keep talking about. You’ve m

Chapter: The Price of a SoulChapter 13: The Price of a SoulThe interior of Selene’s cottage felt larger than the outside suggested, the walls lined with jars of shimmering starlight and dried herbs that smelled of ancient winters. In the center of the room was a circular basin carved from a single block of obsidian, filled with water so still it looked like a mirror."The Blood-Link is a parasite," Selene said, her voice echoing with a weight that made the air vibrate. "It feeds on the shared essence between parent and child. To kill the parasite, we must make the host—Audrey—momentarily invisible to the world of spirits. We must create a void where her identity used to be."Lucas stood by the door, his hands clenched into white-knuckled fists. "And the void consumes the memories of us.""It consumes everything that has happened since her power woke," Selene confirmed. She began to draw runes in the air with a finger made of light. "The mind is a map of connections. If I cut the connection to her father, I must

Chapter: The Whispering PinesChapter 12: The Whispering PinesThe Forbidden Grove was not a place found on any map of the five kingdoms. It existed in the "In-Between," a pocket of the world where the veil between the physical realm and the spirit wild was thin enough to bleed. To get there, Lucas, Audrey, and a small, elite guard led by Vane had to leave the safety of the stone fortress and trek into the Blackwood—a forest so dense that the sun struggled to touch the mossy floor.As they rode deeper into the woods, the temperature didn't just drop; the air grew heavy, smelling of ancient ozone and damp earth."Stay close," Lucas commanded, his hand never straying far from the hilt of his claymore. His silver eyes were constantly scanning the canopy. "The trees here have memories, Audrey. If they sense fear, they’ll twist the path. You’ll be walking in circles until your heart stops."Audrey sat tall on her white mare, her leather armor creaking with every movement. The pain from Samantha’s blood-ritual had faded
