MINE BEFORE THE BLOOD MOON
BLURB:
I crossed into wolf territory to kill an Alpha,but instead I found my mate. The last thing I expected was for Alpha Kael Riven,the most feared wolf in the North,to look at me like I belonged to him. I hated wolves,he was one of them, and fate didn't care. Now an ancient prophecy is awakening inside me, a forgotten queen's power is stirring beneath my skin, and immortal enemies are hunting me across the kingdom.
The mate bond between Kael and me grows stronger every day, pulling us together despite my hatred and his secrets. Every touch feels dangerous,every glance feels forbidden, yet the closer we get the harder it becomes to ignore the connection neither of us asked for. With war looming beneath a Blood Moon and darkness rising from a past buried for centuries, I must decide who I truly am before the prophecy consumes me. The problem is, I still blame wolves for my brother's death, and no prophecy, no goddess, and no mate bond can make me forget that. But fate has a cruel sense of humor, because the Alpha I swore to hate may be the only one capable of saving me.

Chapter: The Choice Of a QueenChapter 10 – The Choice of a QueenAt last, you remember me. The words echoed through my mind long after the voice faded. I couldn't breathe, couldn't think. The storm raged around the Moon hold, wolves fought along the walls, and the gates continued to crack beneath impossible power. Yet all I could see was him, the Hollow King, the ancient ruler standing beyond the fortress, waiting, watching, smiling, as though centuries had passed in the blink of an eye, as though he had finally found something he'd lost.My stomach twisted because some small part of me recognized him too. Not consciously, not through memory, but through feeling. A strange familiarity lingered beneath the fear. My wolf hated it immediately. Danger. I agreed, very strongly. "Thea." Kael's voice cut through the chaos and I blinked. The battlements returned, the storm returned, reality returned. His hand remained wrapped around my arm, steady, grounding, warm. The mate bond reacted instantly, the familiar pull settli

Chapter: The First Queen's Secret"Come and take her." Kael's words echoed across the battlefield. For one heartbeat silence followed, a terrible silence, the kind that comes just before disaster. Then the world exploded. The Hollow King raised one hand and the storm obeyed. Snow twisted violently across the mountainside, the sky darkened, lightning split the heavens, and the siege of Moon hold began. A deafening roar erupted from the wolves on the battlements as archers released their arrows, thousands of silver tipped shafts streaking through the storm. Most never reached their targets.The Hollow Kings simply lifted their hands and a wall of black mist rose from the ground. The arrows vanished into it, swallowed whole. Gasps spread through the fortress. The Hollow Kings didn't even flinch. My stomach tightened. Five, only five enemies stood beyond the gates, yet somehow they felt more dangerous than entire armies. The central king continued watching me, not the warriors, not Kael, me, as though the battle around us

Chapter: The Queen They BuriedThe horn continued to sound, again and again and again, each blast echoing through the Moon hold like a warning from the gods. The Hollow Kings had arrived, and the fortress erupted into motion. Warriors flooded the hallways, orders were shouted, weapons were drawn, and outside the storm intensified. Snow lashed against the windows while thunder rolled across the mountains, and beneath it all I could still hear that voice. Welcome home, little queen. The words echoed inside my skull, cold, ancient, wrong.I pulled away from Kael, my breathing uneven, my heart racing. The bond immediately protested, a sharp ache forming in my chest, and I ignored it because there were bigger problems, far bigger. Kael's attention remained fixed on me. "What did you hear?" I hesitated. The room felt too small, too crowded. Finally I forced the words out. "Someone spoke to me." Diana's face immediately paled and Kael's expression darkened. "What did they say?" The memory sent another chill through me. I

Chapter: The Truth He BuriedSilver fire crackled along the stone walls and the war chamber trembled, maps fluttering from the force of my power. For a terrifying moment nobody moved, not me, not Kael. The flames reflected in his golden eyes, shock lingering there, not because of my anger but because of what my anger had done. The silver fire wasn't natural, it wasn't wolf magic, it wasn't anything the stories had prepared me for, and judging by Kael's expression he knew it. The realization only fueled my rage."You knew." My voice came out sharper this time, colder, more dangerous. Kael remained still and the silence stretched, then finally, "Yes." The single word hit harder than any lie. Something inside me shattered. Ten years, ten years of grief, ten years of blaming wolves, ten years of standing beside that bloodstain at the border, and he had known something. I took a step backward, not because I was afraid but because suddenly I couldn't stand near him. The bond immediately protested, a sharp ache spreadi

Chapter: Secrets Beneath the SnowThe room remained silent long after the warrior left. No one spoke, no one moved, and the weight of the news settled over the fortress like a storm cloud. The seal was broken, the Hollow Kings were awakening, and somehow everyone seemed convinced it was connected to me. I hated that. I hated how every answer seemed to lead to more questions, I hated how nobody would tell me the whole truth, and most of all I hated how Kael looked at me. Not because he feared me, but because he knew something, something important, something he wasn't saying.The council finally adjourned near midnight. One by one the wolves left the war chamber, and Diana was the last. Before leaving she paused beside me, her gray eyes softening. "You should rest." I almost laughed. Rest? After learning I might be some prophesied queen with half the supernatural world hunting me? Not likely. Diana squeezed my shoulder gently. "Trust me." Then she left, and the heavy doors closed behind her, leaving only me and Kael. Th

Chapter: The Fortress of WolvesThe journey to Kael's fortress began before dawn. No one spoke much, the battle had ended but the unease remained, and it followed us through the forest like a shadow. I rode beside a group of warriors while Kael led from the front. The crescent mark on my wrist remained hidden beneath my glove, yet I could still feel it, pulsing, alive, as though it possessed its own heartbeat. My wolf had been unusually quiet since it appeared, too quiet, and that worried me more than if she had been talking.The forest stretched endlessly around us, snow covered pines towering overhead while mist drifted between the trunks. Every now and then I caught wolves staring at me, not ordinary curiosity but fear, suspicion, some even looking angry. Wonderful. Apparently becoming a prophesied queen wasn't winning me any popularity contests. Hours later the trees began to thin, and the fortress appeared suddenly, massive stone walls rising from the mountainside, ancient towers piercing the sky, silver banner
