The Golden Luna
Cara Wylder is the last female in the prestigious Wylder lineage, a family blessed with a rare and powerful she-wolf known as the Golden Luna. This ancient blessing grants her lineage immense power, as any Alpha bonded to her is destined to rule with unmatched strength. However, Cara’s legacy is threatened by a secret—she cannot shift into her wolf form. As rumors of her wolflessness begin to spread, her father, Alpha Roy Wylder, offers her hand in marriage to Darius Wrent, the powerful Lycan King, in an effort to preserve her reputation and the family's standing.
On their wedding day, Darius, suspicious of her lack of a wolf’s presence, demands that Cara shift in front of the gathered wolves. When she fails to do so, he publicly rejects her, leaving her disgraced and humiliated. As the other powerful Alphas look on, uninterested in a wolfless bride, Darius mockingly asks if any would dare take her hand. To everyone’s surprise, Lucien Valen, a weakened Alpha who lost most of his power after the death of his fated mate, steps forward to claim her.
Lucien, once a contender for Alpha King, has been ridiculed for years, holding onto his title solely due to the loyalty of his people. Ignoring the scorn of the other Alphas, Lucien marries Cara and takes her to his castle. Though she expects a life of shame, Cara soon discovers that Lucien is not cruel, neither is he weak Alpha the others believe him to be. His power remains but is locked under the grief from the loss that haunts him and his inability to enact revenge even after all this years.
As they get closer, unsettling truths about Lucien's past and the mastermind behind the fall of the once legendary Alpha is exposed.

Chapter: Twenty: The wrong side of bedI paced the length of my office, my boots stomping loudly all over the floors with every angry step. I was perpetually enraged and every part of me showed it. Rage simmered in my chest, threatening to bubble out at the slightest provocation and the world as it was, had earned my ire. I hated the cool breeze in the air. I hated the clear skies. I even hated the warmth from the sun that spilled into the windows of my study as I continued to pace. Everything and everyone seemed to be happy but me, and I wanted badly to change that. It had been like this for a week now, this constant, boiling rage at the pit of my stomach. I was short-tempered, irritable and an outright pain to be around. The servants had learned to steer clear of me, their footsteps retreating hastily the moment I appeared. I couldn’t blame them for their wariness. The only person I could blame for this was my infuriating mate. I could still see her storming over to me with righteous fury in those big blue eyes. She wa

Chapter: Nineteen: The fightLuke looked at me like I had two heads when I approached him that morning. I couldn’t blame him. After all, I had been the one to quit, abruptly declaring that I didn’t need his help. Now here I was, practically groveling to be taken back.“I know I was… rude before,” I admitted, shifting awkwardly on my feet. “But I was… overwhelmed. I shouldn’t have lashed out at you. I’m sorry.”His dark eyes studied me, skeptical and wary. It wasn’t like Luke to hesitate. He was usually all charm and easy confidence, but today he seemed… hesitant. Uncertain, even.“You don’t have to do this,” he said finally. “If you’re only here out of guilt—”“I’m not,” I interrupted firmly. “I’m here because I want to learn. Please, Luke.”He exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck. “Fine. But we’re changing things up. No more laps.”Relief flooded me, and I nodded eagerly. “Anything you think will help.”He led me to a cleared patch of grass, explaining basic combat stances and defensive maneuvers. “The first ru

Chapter: Eighteen: The madness of needLucien’s POVI was trapped all day in a meeting dragged longer than I anticipated, a tedious affair of negotiation and posturing with Alphas who couldn’t see beyond their egos. The invasion of my lands was becoming unbearable and I was determined to do something about it without reverting to war, but the other’s weren’t making it easy. The Alpha whose wolves kept intruding hadn’t even bother to show up, a clear sign that he disdained me and my request. I had promised myself I was done fighting. The last time I’d waged war, I had won my opponent, but had ended up with my mate assassinated and five years later, I was yet to catch the culprit. My elders and packmembers didn’t understand it, but I wasn’t in a hurry to return to that violence, especially now that I had a new mate that someone could target. By the time I returned to the castle, the sun was well on its descent, casting long shadows through the corridors. I had barely stepped inside when I spotted Sean pacing near the grand

Chapter: Seventeen: Strength is hardCara’s POVThe sun was yet to rise when I slipped out of my room. My steps echoed faintly in the silent corridors. The castle was eerily quiet, the usual hum of activity replaced with a stillness that felt almost sacred. For once, eyes didn’t follow me as I passed and I was thankful for it. I wore britches—a decision that had taken more courage than I cared to admit. They weren’t exactly ladylike, but practicality won out over propriety. I needed to move freely, and skirts simply wouldn’t do. If anyone saw me, I’d probably have more rumors trailing me than I already did. Thankfully, the halls remained empty aside from an occassional guard or two. The sparse security had me wondering again about this Pack and how easy it would be to escape. I didn’t dare risk it though. It would be dangerous for a wolfless woman like me to trudge through wolflands. It wouldn’t take long before I was hunted and I would likely find myself in the possession of a far more deplorable Alpha. Maybe when I wa

Chapter: Sixteen: The offerCara’s POVThe morning sunlight filtered through the thin curtains in my room, painting the floor in muted gold. I sat at the edge of the bed, staring down at my hands. They weren’t trembling today, and that felt like an accomplishment— a small victory in a sea of neverending misery. Several days had passed since Emily’s threats and Lucien’s coldness that had nearly broken me. Somehow, I managed to survive. I’d moped for most of the time, but after deep thought, I had finally come to the conclusion that I couldn’t keep waiting for someone to save me—not Lucien, not anyone.If he didn’t want me, there was nothing I could do about it, bond or no. The bond couldn’t force us together after all. It was only powerful if the people it bounded together accepted it. If even one partner rejected it, there was very little the other could do. It didn’t care for the consent of the couple or pretty much anything else. Whether we wanted it or not was irrelevant. It was an ever constant thing that wo

Chapter: Fifteen: Warmth and warningCara's POVThe hallway felt impossibly long as I walked away from Lucien. My hands trembled at my sides, and my heart was still racing from our confrontation. Anger and humiliation burned under my skin, warring with an ache I couldn’t quite place. Hurt, betrayal; both? Why did I even care? He didn’t want me—that much was clear—and yet, his refusal to let me go made no sense. I had begged him for freedom, and he… he had just walked away.The thought made my throat tighten. I needed air. I needed space. I needed to be anywhere but here. My feet carried me down a series of corridors, unfamiliar and winding, as I sought refuge in the sprawling estate. The silence of the castle pressed in on me, broken only by the occasional whisper of wind through the windows. No one bothered me as I passed, all the wolves watching me from the corner of their eyes but not saying a word. I heard feet move, voices whisper, silver clatter from a distance. I moved as if in a trance, propelled by my frustratio

For Blood Or Beast
Delia Mathers has the perfect life; loving parents, a beautiful relationship with her boyfriend Zack, supportive friends— up until one fateful night when an unfortunate attack unravels the world as she knows it and chaos unleashes in her life.
Suddenly, she discovers everything is not as she thought it was; she’s a werewolf, her boyfriend is a 400yr old vampire, her human parents adopted her after her wolf pack was destroyed in a past conflict and she has to leave the only life she's ever known to go along with the Alpha of the new pack she must now belong to as a newly burgeoning wolf.
Graeme Buchanan, Alpha of Rosewood pack, has way too much on his hands to deal with a newly turned mutt like Delia. Yet as Alpha of the largest pack in Sterling city, it's his duty to make sure she is integrated seamlessly with the rest of the other wolves, especially since she hasn't lived with her kind before. The events surrounding her change are suspicious, but he can't just put his finger on why. The last thing he needs is the pesky little mate call that springs between them once Delia undergoes her first shift. He can't take Delia as his mate; she's too young, knows next to nothing about being a wolf, much less a Luna. To make everything worse, she’s a mutt that will weaken his pureblood line, there’s no way anything between them can ever work. He isn’t willing to let her go though, no matter how hard her obsessive Vampire boyfriend tries to hold on.
It takes a while for either to realize just how deep the dangerous waters lie. Can they overcome both friends and foe in this dangerous dance between the blood and beast?

Chapter: Twenty-Seven: Friends and AlliesDelia’s POVI wasn’t expecting the knock at my door.Not now, when the quiet finally felt bearable and I’d managed — just barely — to wrestle my thoughts away from a certain dark-eyed Alpha King.I opened the door to find Marcus standing there, hands shoved into his jacket pockets, shoulders stiff with unease.“Hey,” he said, voice low, profile tense. “Can I come in for a minute?”“Um, yes.” I said, feeling an awkwardness that lingered from our last encounter. I stepped aside, motioning him in. The scent of the woods clung to him — pine, damp earth, the clean sharpness of the waterfall. It should’ve been comforting. Instead, it reminded me too much of everything I was trying to forget. That he was a wolf and I had only met him because I was a wolf and I was miserable because the wolf who was supposed to be my mate had rejected me. Marcus hovered awkwardly in the middle of the room until I sat down on the edge of my bed. Only then did he sit too, not too close, his hands fidgeting wit

Chapter: Twenty-Seven: Confrontations with the pastGraeme’s POVI stepped back. “Ramona.” A warning in my tone.Her smile widened, eyes glittering. “Ah, still so proper. Even now. Even after everything.”“There is no everything.” I snapped and she raised cocked her head, the gesture so familiar that it forced me to flash back. The memories slammed into me before I could block them — her mouth on mine, her body beneath me, the wild hunger that had once driven us both past reason. And the bitterness when I'd ended it, cold and final, for reasons she had never quite forgiven.She watched me intently, a lazy amusement coloring her gaze that I didn’t much appreciate. “Surely you don’t mean that. Is it that you’ve forgotten or that you don’t dare remember?”She purred stalking closer towards me. To my great embarrassment, I took several steps back before I caught myself. Her smile widened. My jaw clenched. “Is it someone who forces you to forget Graeme? Perhaps… a certain newly-turned mutt?” She said teasingly and my hands clenched into f

Chapter: Twenty-Six: The deranged puppetGraeme's POVI was at my desk, a stack of reports scattered before me, but I couldn't focus on a damn word. My mind kept flitting between multiple thoughts, most of them centered around Delia and the predicament we were in. My conversation with Oswald kept ringing in my head about power and how I needed to use it. So I send formal letters to all the other preternatural heads; the Feline, Ursine and the rest of the Canine shifters. I tried to keep it vague, not wanting to show my cards before I had to. I would meet with all of them and see if they were having any vampire trouble too. If they were, we could band together and stand a much better chance at defeating those bloodsuckers. I wanted to avoid a full-scale war if possible. It’s just that, with all of Zachary’s bold attacks and his mother’s lack of acknowledgement, I would be foolish not to prepare for some kind of trouble. The sooner I strengthened my allies, the better off I would be. I tried not to think of the other source

Chapter: Twenty-Five: Restless SoulDelia’s POVFour days later, I was still reeling from my last encounter with Graeme. I’d gone from sad and destitute, to furious. How dare he do these things to me? How dare he treat me like this? How dare he drive me crazy? And why, oh why couldn’t I stop thinking about him. I hated him so much at the moment but no matter how much I tried to, I couldn’t get him out of my head. He was there constantly, lingering at the back of my mind the entire day. My brain was firing erratically, trying to do the impossible task of finding something else to focus on. All was in vain. I had no peace at night either, for he would slip into my dreams unbidden, bringing passion and softness and all the good things of life. And when I woke, he would vanish, leaving me bereft all over again. Making a sound of disgust at myself, I got off my bed, unable to stand being crowded in my own head a second longer. I needed some sort of distraction, so I decided to take a walk and see if it would help. I thre

Chapter: Twenty-Four: Heart to HeartsGraeme’s POV“Don't go!”I heard as I thundered down the halls of Wilburn Manor, towards Oswald's office. “Don't leave me!” Delia's voice kept re-echoing in my head. I gritted my teeth against the unrelenting urge to go back. It took everything in me and Duke’s steady presence by my side to open the door into Oswald's office. Duke stationed himself outside, allowing us Alphas some privacy to discuss. Oswald looked up at my entry, his face unchanging. “Done?” He queried and I nodded. “Thank you for your compliance and discretion. You remain as trustworthy as always Oswald.”He shrugged “I swore fealty to you as I did your father. It's my duty. However, before I continue in my duties, I have to ask, why is your mate in my pack?”He said quizzically and I froze. “Excuse me?”He raised a brow at my aghast look “Do you deny that the mutt you brought here over a month ago is your mate?”I should have. Vehemently so. I was so shocked that he'd figured it out that I forgot to. I thought I

Chapter: Twenty-Three: The highs and lowsDelia’s POVI stared unseeing at the ceiling, my mind numb, my thoughts far away. I’d been awake for some time now, but I just couldn’t generate enough will to get out of bed. I’d listened to the morning come and go without much interest in partaking of it. The maid had been by with my morning and then afternoon meals, leaving them outside my door. I let each meal pass without evening checking to see what she’d brought. Annalise had been over twice already, but I hadn’t bothered to answer her calls or knocks. I didn’t get up when Marcus came calling yet again either. Just like the other four days prior, I stayed put in wallowing in my self-induced semi-comatose state. Nothing was enough to make me generate enough will to leave that bed. Not my friends. Not the gnawing hunger in the pit of my stomach. Not the ache in my limbs from being in one place for so long. I wanted to stay so still that I could pass away if no one was noticing. I’d had quite enough of this meaningless existence.
