Bound moon
Serafine has always been the family secret hidden in the cellars, her wolf bound by a brutal spell, condemned to a life of shadows and silence. But when her flawless sister flees her arranged marriage to the most savage Alpha King in existence, Serafine is ripped from the darkness, veiled, and thrust down the aisle in her place.
The plan is simple: play the part, stall for time, and let her treacherous family escape. If King Lucian Draven discovers the deception, he will erase their entire bloodline.
The lie shatters the moment he lifts her veil.
Instead of the proud princess he was promised, Lucian scents raw terror and cellar-bred weakness. Yet he doesn’t kill her. With his court watching, he completes the vows, claims his false bride, and drags her to his frozen mountain fortress—not as queen, but as a prisoner in a servant’s rags.
Stripped of power and dignity, Serafine becomes a ghost in his halls, watching, waiting, and plotting her escape. Until a savage ambush forces her to unleash the one thing she was never meant to possess: a rare, long-forgotten silver magic that surges through her veins.
And when that ancient power touches Lucian, it does the impossible—it soothes the violent madness devouring his mind.
In an instant, the unwanted impostor becomes the only thing keeping the ruthless king alive. Lucian’s fury twists into a dark, all-consuming obsession. The more she fights to flee, the tighter his obsession coils—especially now that she carries his secret heir.
Because some beasts would rather burn the world than let their mate go.

Chapter: The Silver FlareThe clash of steel echoed through the narrow ravine as Lucian moved like a force of nature, his heavy broadsword cleaving through the white cloaks of the Blood Moon pack. He didn't just fight; he systematically tore their formation apart. But as the snow swirled thicker around us, my analytical gaze caught a break in our defenses near the shallow alcove where the children were hidden.One of the alpine hunters had broken past the high rocks, a heavy iron mace raised as he lunged toward Mira’s exposed flank. Mira was completely focused on shielding a wounded elder, her back turned to the threat."Mira, look out!" I shouted, my boots already kicking up loose snow as I sprinted across the slippery ledge.There was no time to wait for Lucian, and there was no time to draw a standard blade. The raw panic in my chest triggered the long-suppressed wolf inside my soul. A brilliant, blinding flare of silver starlight erupted from my palms, shooting across the distance like a physical lance.

Chapter: The Frozen PassThe mountain wind howled through the narrow stone gaps of the northern ridge, carrying a thick flurry of frozen snow that stung my face. Black smoke from the ruined Ashwood fortress was nothing but a distant, ugly smudge on the eastern horizon now.I kept my eyes fixed on the narrow trail ahead, my boots sinking deep into the fresh powder with every step. My hand was pressed flat against my stomach, feeling the subtle, warm pulse beneath the layers of my heavy winter cloak. The micro-fever was still buzzing faintly in my ears, but the freezing air helped numb the sharp aches in my muscles."You're falling behind, Serafine," a sharp voice called out from just a few paces ahead.I looked up to see Darius stopping on a patch of sheet ice, his arms wrapped tightly around his dented Beta armor as he shivered. "The rear guards are pushing too fast. If the wounded slip on this ridge, they’re going down into the ravine.""Then keep your feet planted and help them balance, Darius," I snapped,

Chapter: The Weight of the BloodlineDust from the collapsed staircase hung in the air like a thick gray fog. I stepped down from the stone ledge, my fingers still buzzing from the raw exertion of the Moonveil magic.Every muscle in my body ached, and that warning heat kept pulsing under my skin. I kept my posture rigid, refusing to let the warriors see how close I was to breaking.Lucian met me at the base of the broken stairs. His hand found the small of my back, his palm hot and heavy through the velvet of my gown. It wasn't just support; it was a physical claim. His dark sea-colored eyes swept over me, dropping for a split second to my stomach before locking back onto my face."You pushed too hard," he muttered, his voice a low, gravelly vibration meant for my ears alone. "I told you to step back.""The beam is shattered, the vanguard is trapped, and the water is clean," I replied, keeping my voice flat as I looked away from him. "The tactical outcome justifies the strain, Your Grace.""Don't play the cold strategist

Chapter: The Trap at the FlueBlack soot and decades of rotted dust choked the narrow servant’s flue, but the space was wide enough for Lucian to press his body flush against mine as we climbed. The heat radiating off his chest felt suffocating against the freezing air slipping through the stone cracks. Every shift of his muscles mirrored mine in the tight space. One massive, calloused hand stayed curved firmly around my waist, his thumb pressed flat over the velvet fabric of my gown—right over the secret heir he now knew I carried."They are already halfway down the stairs," Lucian whispered, his breath a low, gravelly vibration against my ear."I hear them," I breathed back, my heightened sensory perception locking onto the chaotic sounds echoing from the cellar below.Through the thick stone walls of the flue, my twin stepbrothers were playing their parts perfectly, driven by nothing but raw, pathetic terror. Heavy thuds of iron-reinforced wine casks slamming against the floorboards shattered the silence around

Chapter: The Disposable ShieldsThe rusted iron spokes of the pressure valve ground to a final halt. The gap in the stone wall opened into the damp, rotted belly of the Whispering Manor’s wine cellar. Above us, the heavy, rhythmic thrumming of syndicate boots vibrated through the floorboards.But as I stepped over the threshold, a frantic scuffling sound to our left made Lucian spin around, his broadsword slicing through the dark air before stopping a mere inch from a man's throat."Wait! Don't strike!" Kaelen screamed, his hands flying into the air as he backed up so fast he tripped over a rotted wooden crate.Beside him, Darius scrambled backward, his face completely pale under the layer of black soot. The twins had not followed Ronan’s line to the left fork. They had doubled back in the dark, driven by their own frantic self-preservation."What are you doing here?" I hissed, my silver eyes narrowing as I stepped past Lucian. "You were ordered to stay with Ronan and the vanguard.""Ronan’s line is heading straight

Chapter: The Traitor's CrossThe click of the crossbow mechanism echoed through the narrow stone tunnel like a crack of thunder.Lucian didn't hesitate. In a single, seamless motion, he shoved me behind his massive frame, his broadsword clearing its leather sheath with a lethal hiss. The heavy steel of his blade caught the faint, watery light dripping from the stone ceiling."Get down!" he growled.A sharp iron bolt hissed through the darkness, slicing straight through the space where my head had been a second ago. It slammed into the wet stone wall behind us, throwing a spray of sparks and sharp rock fragments into the air.Fifty paces ahead, the four enforcers we had sent forward spun around, their swords drawn. But they weren't looking down the tunnel for an enemy. Two of them immediately turned their weapons on their own comrades, driving their blades into the necks of the loyal guards before the men could even cry out.The bodies hit the damp floor with a heavy, sickening thud.Standing over them, holding a
