LOGINWhen the moon turns black, blood will choose its master. Kaelira Voss was never meant to lead—only to obey. Branded as a volatile wolf with a dangerous temper, she spends her life fighting for scraps of respect from a pack that will never trust her. But when a dying boy stumbles across the border whispering of experiments, moonfire, and a coming plague, Kaelira’s act of mercy ignites a chain of events that will change everything. The Lycan King, Zevran Kaelith, arrives to reclaim what’s his: the fugitive boy and the secrets he carries. But when Kaelira’s blood destroys the curse consuming him, Zevran sees the impossible—witchcraft flowing through a wolf’s veins. Bound by ancient magic neither understands, the two become reluctant allies as an ancient prophecy awakens beneath the rising Black Moon. Haunted by visions of her dead mother and hunted by both her former Alpha and the High Lunar Dominion, Kaelira must master the power buried in her blood before it consumes her completely. But the closer she gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between her and the cold, infuriating king who swore he’d never love again. Enemies by birth. Fated by blood. Together, they are the spark that could burn kingdoms—or save them. Blood of the Black Moon is a dark fantasy romance filled with betrayal, power, and slow-burn passion between a fierce female lead and the Lycan king destined to destroy—or worship—her. Perfect for fans of forbidden bonds, hidden magic, and enemies-to-lovers tension that hurts so good.

Kaelira Voss stood barefoot on the cold ritual stone, mist coiling around her ankles. Every eye in Vyrden Hollow Pack was on her—some expectant, most waiting for her to fail. At the edge of the clearing, Alpha Draven Corren leaned against a torch post, all shadow and command. “Run the perimeter,” he ordered. “Keep control this time, Voss.” Control. As if she hadn’t been practicing restraint her entire life. Kaelira dipped her head and stepped backward off the stone. One breath—and her body shattered into motion. Bone shifted. Skin split to silver fur. The forest rushed up to meet Ardyn, her wolf, with that intoxicating clarity that only came when the world finally made sense. We run for them again? Ardyn teased in her mind. We run for us, Kaelira answered. They darted through the trees, moonlight catching the edges of ferns. Patrol scents painted the air—pine, sweat, iron. But under it, something wrong. Blood. Young. Unclaimed. They found him half-collapsed by a rotted log: a boy no older than sixteen, one arm wrapped in wire engraved with burning sigils. “Don’t—” he gasped, seeing her eyes glow. “They’ll find me.” Kaelira shifted back, skin steaming from the cold. “You’re bleeding on pack land. That’s already a problem.” He swallowed hard. “My name’s Taren. They said this forest was safe.” “Safe from what?” “The Dominion,” he whispered. “They… experiment on wolves. With moonfire.” Kaelira’s stomach tightened. The High Lunar Dominion didn’t “experiment.” They cleansed. Footsteps snapped through the brush—pack warriors. If they found him, he’d be dead before he could finish that sentence. Kaelira pressed a finger to her lips, then dragged him behind the cedar roots. When Alpha Draven appeared, she forced her heartbeat calm. “Perimeter clear,” she lied. “Only deer sign.” He studied her too long before grunting. “Continue.” When the patrol vanished, Kaelira turned back to Taren. “You stay hidden until dawn. Then I’ll get you across the ridge.” Taren nodded, shaking. “Why help me?” Kaelira stared into the dark. “Because someone should.” A horn split the night—three sharp blasts. Border breach. Kaelira cursed and ran toward the sound. The Sigils of Velnor at the boundary stones glowed a sick blue. A figure stood on the far side of the border—tall, dark cloak, silver eyes reflecting the moon. King Zevran Kaelith. The Lycan King himself. “Your pack shelters what is mine,” Zevran said, his voice carrying through the pines. “Return the boy.” Draven stepped forward. “We shelter no one.” Zevran’s eyes cut past him—straight to Kaelira. “Then why does your blood smell like his?” Her pulse stuttered. “Maybe because I’m the only one who didn’t plan to kill him.” For an instant, the great King of Lycans looked amused. Then the ground trembled. The runes screamed white, and something dark peeled itself out of the treeline— a shape of claws and smoke that shrieked like broken metal. Taren screamed. Kaelira shifted before she knew she had moved. And the forest, for the first time, looked back.Dawn had not yet broken over Eidryn. The city still lay wrapped in rain and slate-colored mist, its towers rising like black teeth through the fog. Only one building burned with light—the High Council Hall, a cathedral of glass and white stone perched above the river. Within it, silence reigned so absolute it seemed the air itself bowed to it.Lord Meroth stood before the vast window that overlooked the sleeping capital. His reflection stared back—tall, composed, features carved into diplomacy. Behind him, the chamber filled slowly: boots on marble, the muted clatter of signet rings on wood, robes brushing like whispers. Twelve chairs circled the obsidian table, and one by one the city’s rulers took their places.The bells had not yet tolled the hour. That was the point. Important decisions were always made before the world was awake enough to object.When the last chair scraped into place, Meroth turned. “We begin.”A ripple of acknowledgment passed through the room
The tunnel narrowed until they had to walk single file. The air grew warmer the deeper they went, damp and heavy with the smell of stone that had forgotten wind. Every step echoed back as if the walls were learning the rhythm of their hearts.After what felt like hours, the passage widened. Faint blue light shimmered ahead—pale as moonlight but steadier, pulsing in long, slow waves. Kaelira raised a hand, the Mark on her wrist answering with a faint glow of its own.“Still with me?” she murmured.Zevran’s voice drifted up from behind her, low and dry. “Just enjoying the ambiance. Always wanted to vacation inside a dead god’s basement.”“Careful,” she said. “It listens.”“Good. Maybe it’ll rate my sarcasm.”She smiled despite herself and pushed forward.The tunnel opened into a cavern so vast her lamp barely touched the far walls. Bridges of petrified wood crossed pools that reflected the ceiling’s light in mirrored fragments. The air shimmered with faint
The sound of the outer gate dying away left a silence too complete. Kaelira could hear her own heartbeat, and—beneath it—something deeper, slower, patient. The air pressed close, thick with dust and age. Zevran lifted the lamp from his belt; the blue-white flame trembled, throwing their shadows against a wall of carved stone.They stood at the mouth of a descending stair that curved like a throat into darkness. The walls shimmered faintly where quartz veins caught the light, making the descent seem alive.“Lovely,” Zevran muttered. “If tombs are your taste.”“It isn’t a tomb,” Kaelira said quietly. “It’s a heart.”She brushed her fingers over the nearest carving. Lines of script wound across the stone in spirals—neither council nor cult work. Older. The letters pulsed once beneath her touch before settling into a soft glow that lit the first few steps.Zevran eyed the glow warily. “Do all ancient runes flirt back?”“They respond to bloodlines.”“Good thin
Rain hammered the Ministry roof until the walls hummed with it. The single lamp left burning threw long, distorted shadows across the maps of light that covered the table. Every so often a bolt of lightning flashed beyond the sealed window, bleaching the room white for a heartbeat before surrendering it again to gold and gray.Kaelira hadn’t moved since the councilors left. She stood before the glass maps, arms folded, eyes unfocused. The Mark glowed faintly through her glove—steady now, like it was waiting for something.Zevran watched from the corner. He’d stripped the leather from his gauntlets and was turning his dagger between his fingers, letting the edge catch the lamplight. His expression carried that particular calm he wore when his mind was moving faster than his blade ever could.“Tell me what you’re thinking,” he said.Kaelira’s reflection stared back at her from the glass. “That Meroth doesn’t want a weapon. He wants a key.”Zevran frowned. “To what?
