LOGINFor centuries ago, the Kingdom of Crescent Vale has lived in terror of its lost Alpha—Luna Sinclair. Once the Moon Goddess’s favored champion, she became a bloodthirsty tyrant, cursed and sealed away for her sins. Her legend warns that if she ever returns, the land will drown in blood and shadow. Selene Lowell wants nothing to do with Crescent Vale. A gifted healer descended from the Moon Goddess herself, she lives quietly in Lumen Heights, tending to her dying mother and hiding from the fanatical Moon Priests who want her bloodline extinguished. But when visions of a chained wolf haunt Selene’s dreams, she is drawn to the ruins where Luna sleeps. A moment of compassion breaks the ancient seal. And the monster awakens. Bound instantly by an unbreakable soul-link, Luna is consumed by the scent and presence of her mate. She becomes fiercely, dangerously possessive—unwilling to let Selene out of her sight. The kingdom, once fractured into warring sub-packs, trembles at her return. Old enemies gather to challenge her. Moon priests demand Selene’s sacrifice to prevent Luna’s rise. Yet beneath Luna’s feral rage is a broken warrior seeking redemption. Selene is the only one who can calm her, the only one who sees the woman behind the monster. As war brews and the Moon Goddess herself demands judgment, Selene must choose: abandon the cursed Alpha to save herself, or risk her own soul to heal the darkness inside her mate Their bond is both salvation and damnation. Their love could unite a kingdom—or destroy it.
View MoreThe council chamber of Crescent Vale was a cavern of stone and fire. Torches lined the walls, their flames snapping in the draft, casting jagged shadows across the carved wolf totems that loomed over the chamber like silent judges. The long table of dark oak stretched between the gathered elders, betas, and generals, each seat filled with a wolf whose voice carried weight over the fate of the pack.At the head sat Luna. She wore no crown, but her presence was heavier than steel. Her armor had been stripped, replaced with a black tunic that emphasized the corded strength in her shoulders. She leaned forward, knuckles against the table, eyes like sharpened silver blades.Selene sat at her right, though not by choice. Rowan had led her there, his hand steady on her shoulder when her knees threatened to give. She wanted to be anywhere but here, yet the very fact that she had been seated at the Alpha’s side told the entire council what this meeting was truly about.The air was already thic
The fortress gates groaned open at dawn. The mist still clung to the mountains, curling through the pine trees and stone ramparts like ghostly fingers. A hush fell over the courtyard as three figures entered hooded, robed in white trimmed with threads of gold. Their presence was heavy, not of muscle or steel, but of something older, colder: the weight of divine authority.The priests of the Moon Goddess had come.Selene felt it before she even saw them. The bond thrummed sharply in her chest, a warning. She had been tending to a feverish child in the healer’s wing when the ripple of unease swept through the pack. Whispers traveled faster than fire. By the time she stepped out into the corridor, wolves were already pressing toward the balconies and windows, craning for a glimpse.Her stomach twisted. She pulled her shawl tighter around her shoulders, the instinctive shiver of prey under a predator’s gaze even before their eyes found her.“Stay back.” Rowan’s voice cut through the murmu
The council chamber reverberated with silence after selene’s words. Her plea for diplomacy still hung in the air like incense soft, cloying, and easily dismissed in the choking heat of hostility. Luna sat on her obsidian-carved throne at the head of the chamber, her silver eyes narrowed to dangerous slits. The faintest curl of a smirk touched her lips, not of amusement, but of a predator humoring a prey animal that thought it had claws.“Diplomacy,” she repeated, her voice velvet laced with steel. “with callista.” She leaned forward, resting her elbows on the carved arms of the throne. The light from the braziers flickered across the scars on her forearms, trophies from old wars. “Do you think she wants words, little dove? Do you think she wants peace? She doesn’t want crescent vale at the table, she wants it at her feet.”Selene’s hands tightened around the folds of her gown. She stood tall, though her heart was thrumming like a trapped bird. “I know she wants dominance. But if you m
The council chamber was a storm of voices. Harsh growls, furious arguments, the thrum of warriors’ fists pounding the great oak table that split the room in two. War banners hung from the vaulted ceiling, their silvery threads catching the dim torchlight, casting crescent vale’s crest the crescent moon and twin wolves into every shadow.At the head of the table, luna sat like a carved statue of fury, her golden eyes narrowed, her posture rigid, her aura pressing against every living body in the chamber. The air itself seemed to bow before her wrath. Even the most battle-hardened generals lowered their gazes when her gaze swept their way.Selene sat opposite her, silent but trembling, her hands folded in her lap as she forced herself to breathe. Every word spoken, every violent proposal, pressed against her spirit like a weight. She could feel the currents of the bond pulling at her, dragging her into luna’s state of mind a hunger for war, for blood, for destruction. And yet, selene k
The air in crescent vale had shifted. Even the wind carried tension now, sharper, colder, biting at the skin of every wolf who patrolled the edges of their territory. The pack could sense it unease crawling beneath fur, instincts stirring at the scent of enemies too close for comfort.Selene felt i
By midday, the training yard was empty.The frost had melted into a dull sheen of mud, except for the dark stains where blood had soaked in. The smell of it clung to the air copper and iron and something sharper that made my stomach turn.Inside the infirmary, the wounded waited.I had treated spra
Selene woke up before dawn, her chest tight with a restless tension that had settled deep inside her since the day she’d been confined to the alpha’s wing. The room was bathed in a pale blue glow filtering through the heavy curtains, and the scent of cedar and smoke curled softly through the air.
The battlefield was eerily quiet.Snow had begun to fall again, drifting over blood and ash, softening the jagged edges of the carnage. Wolves padded through the ruins, their fur stained crimson, their eyes still alight with battle-rage. Human soldiers groaned where they lay, some clutching wounds,
