Marked by blood, bound by fate.
Maxine was never meant to survive that night. But she did.
Raised on half-truths and shadows, she arrives as the new Luna with no idea that her life is already tied to an ancient prophecy, a blood-soaked betrayal, and a mate who may hate her before he ever learns to love her.
Draven, the powerful High Alpha, has spent years haunted by a single curse:
He shall mate from the bloodline of that who brought death upon his kin.
So when Maxine is placed before him as his destined mate, every instinct in him screams danger. She is beautiful, untamed, and impossible to ignore but to him, she may also be the woman fate chose to destroy him.
As the kingdom prepares for celebration, secrets begin to stir. Maxine’s strange power awakens. Hidden enemies move in silence. And the truth about her bloodline, her parents, and Draven’s past begins to unravel in ways neither of them are prepared for.
The closer they are pulled together, the more dangerous their bond becomes.
Because in a kingdom built on lies, falling in love may be the most deadly betrayal of all. Will they give in or will they let everything destroy them.

Chapter: Chapter 6Somewhere beyond the border of a neighbouring kingdom, where the city’s reach thins into wild, green, she moves leisurely. The forest itself is alive with quiet glory. The birds sing their song like a welcome gift, leaves dance in the soft breeze, and the light touches her skin, curious as she glides through. Ahead, a narrow stream cuts through the trees, and water clear as glass flows smoothly. Beneath, tiny bright colored creatures flicker, darting about as they play. She rests at the bank. “Such a wonderful day, don’t you think?” Comes the voice of her companion. She doesn’t turn, mesmerized by the tiny creatures. “Wonderful things rarely last.” She finally says, a quiet thickness settling in the air. The water seems to still, her reflection stares back at her. ‘Would she look like me?’ She wonders. Her bright sky-blue eyes shimmer, complemented by long, full lashes and her soft, plump lips. Then, a new reflection joins hers. “You’ve awfully been quiet again.”

Chapter: Chapter 5Kassy moves towards the creature. She gets hit hard. The force of the blow sends her crashing directly into the cabin wall with a sickening bone crack. Wood spreads everywhere as the entire structure shudders. “KASSY!” No response. The creature doesn’t bother pausing, stepping forward, it completely ignores Kassy. Its eyes are set on Maxine, unflinchingly. ‘Why is that thing staring at me like I’m a long lost artifact?’ That's when realization hits her. This thing never came here for Kassy. It came for HER.The world narrows.Fear wraps itself around Maxine's chest in a tight grip. ‘No time to think, I need to act fast!’ her mind reasons.Grabbing the nearest thing to her— a frying pan, she hurls it with all her might in the creature’s path. It hits its target.A sharp clang echoes throughout as it drops to the floor. The creature snaps its head slightly to the side. Then, slowly it turns back, clearly unaffected. It growls low, deep and angry.The sound crawls beneath Maxine'

Chapter: Chapter 4Three moons ago.Maxine knelt by the wet cabin floor. Her glove-clad hands gripped the brush as she scrubbed at a particularly thick, stubborn stain.To the outside world, one would assume she was perfectly focused on the task at hand.But her mind was barely there with her body. The past two weeks kept replaying over and over again.The heavy breathing outside her window at night. However, when she looked outside, nothing was there. Just trees dancing in the wind.Sometimes it would be the slow, deliberate, heavy footfalls circling the cabin each evening. Like someone was scouting. Watching. Waiting. A sudden chill slithers down her spine. She shudders. The shutters rattle violently as a gust of wind forces itself inside.She freezes. Slowly, she turns her head in the direction of the shutters. Looking closely, she sees—Nothing. Just the curtains flowing in the breeze. She adjusts, “Perhaps it's… just all in my head,” pointing her attention back to the floor. A sharp knock sound

Chapter: Chapter 3Branches pull away before she can collide with them. Roots sink back into the earth just as her foot comes down. The dense, impossible terrain reshapes itself—guiding her, protecting her, choosing her.Behind her, the struggle continues.Varkul roars, furious, enraged—but the deeper she runs, the quieter it becomes. Not because he stops. Because the forest is swallowing the sound. Swallowing him.Maxine doesn’t stop. She doesn’t dare.Her breaths come in sharp, broken gasps. Her heart pounds so violently that it feels like it might tear through her ribs and fall onto the floor. Sweat clings to her skin, making it sticky to touch. Her ankle throbs with each step she takes but she doesn’t take a break. “Why am I healing slower, Thraen?” Maxine probes. “Something’s going on with your body and it needs all the strength it can get.” Thraen answers. “Mhmm” Too tired to ask what it is, Maxine drops the matter.She continues her trek. And as the edge of the forest comes into view, just out

Chapter: Chapter 2This was no longer her palace. No longer the place she had grown to love. The home she had hoped to make of it. Not anymore. They had turned it into a hunting ground. And she was the one being hunted. Maxine pushes her body to run faster, go beyond limits she’s never tested. And with her newfound speed, her muscles scream but she doesn’t slow. She runs up the winding staircase. The forest comes into view. A strong tug pulls at her senses. It was calling to her. Luring her to its edge and deep into its belly. Edging her on and encouraging her to pivot to it. A tempting gesture. Thus, desperate to get away, to leave all of it behind. Maxine doesn’t listen to reason. She doesn’t have the time to. Not with the wolves hot on her trail, smashing everything on sight to get to her, but she’s fast— too fast. Faster than a normal werewolf. The ground itself practically folds to her command as she changes course. She runs toward it. The very thing that she had been told to never set foot in.

Chapter: Chapter 1The kingdom pulsed with glee. Voices echoed throughout the halls as servants rushed to and fro in preparation. The air itself shimmered with anticipation. Just as eager as those breathing it. It had been three months since her arrival was announced to them and this evening, the Luna Ceremony would commence. Inside the palace’s eastern chambers, Maxine had just finished her final dress fitting, the seamstresses long gone by now. The silence they left behind did little to calm her nerves. Giddy with awe, joy and excitement, she was thrilled. She would finally seal the bond with her mate. Her true fated mate. Just like in the fairy tales she’d once admired.But her gut kept telling her something wasn’t right. She peeks at her open palms, and slowly, curls her fingers inward. The feeling wasn’t calm this time, it was persistent and unrelenting.Ever since she arrived here—ever since she felt that bond, she had this nagging feeling, like something was amiss. Even her wolf thought s
