The Pull of Shadows

(Maya’s POV)

The days after Damien marked me blurred together in a

haze of warmth and whispered promises. For the first

time in my life, I felt anchored.

His presence steadied me, his touch lingered even

when he wasn’t near, and my wolf purred at the bond we

had forged.

But peace never lasted long. Not for me.

The necklace at my throat still pulsed at night, heavy

with my mother’s call.

Naomi grew quieter with each passing day, shadows

under her eyes as though she fought battles in her

sleep. And the pack… they watched me differently now.

Whispers followed me in the halls. Becca’s glares cut

sharper than knives.

I tried to ignore it all, to focus on the way Damien’s

fingers laced through mine, the way his lips brushed the

mark when no one was looking. But the ocean called,

and lately… something else did too.It happened first in the training grounds.

I was sparring with Noah, both of us panting, sweat

slicking our brows.

  • Crown of Blood and Moonlight   The Choice Yet to Come

    The battlefield stank of blood and salt. The last rogue wolf collapsed at Damien’s feet, its body shifting back into a twisted, lifeless form. Felix wiped crimson from his mouth with the back of his hand, his sharp eyes scanning the carnage. Naomi clung to her mate, trembling but alive, her siren’s glow dimming as his protective aura steadied her. The pack stood in stunned silence, the weight of what they had just faced sinking in. The unnatural creatures, the leviathan, dragged back into the depths only when Sirena and Maya had combined their power—none of it had been chance. Someone had sent them. Someone powerful. Maya shifted back slowly, collapsing to her knees, her body trembling from exhaustion. Damien was at her side instantly, draping his jacket over her shoulders, his hand cradling the back of her neck. His touch grounded her, even as her heart raced with the echoes of the prophecy.Felix stood nearby, his gaze lingering o

  • Crown of Blood and Moonlight   Fractures

    The silence after the prophecy broke like shattered glass. Noah was the first to speak, his voice low but urgent. “So it’s true… she’s the one. The prophecy’s Tribrid.” His eyes flicked from Maya to Damien, then to Felix. “And her choice could destroy us all.” “Or save us,” Damien snapped, stepping closer to Maya, instinctively shielding her with his body. His wolf was on edge, the sharp scent of his dominance filling the air. “Don’t twist this. She isn’t a weapon. She’s ours.” Felix smirked, but his crimson eyes burned with something far darker than amusement. “Yours? Did you not hear? One mate of shadow, one mate of flame.” He placed a hand on his chest, fangs peeking as he smiled. “That flame, wolf, is me.” Damien growled, low and dangerous, and the water between them rippled with his fury.Maya’s stomach twisted. “Stop it, both of you.” Her voice cracked, but the power under it made the very air vibrate. She hadn’t meant t

  • Crown of Blood and Moonlight   Daughter of the Sea

    (Maya’s POV) The ocean bent to her. Sirena’s presence rippled through the water like a heartbeat, every current pausing, every shadow bowing. Naomi’s mate—still clutching her wrist—lowered his gaze, not in submission, but in recognition. This was his queen. This was my mother. I couldn’t breathe—not because the sea smothered me, but because she did. Her gaze pierced through me, soft with something like sorrow, hard with something like pride. My chest ached, my wolf pressing closer as if she too recognized her blood. “You are mine,” she whispered, voice flowing like waves over sand.“My daughter. My Aurora.” The name hit me like lightning. Not Maya. Aurora. The name no one had ever spoken to me. I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry. All I managed was a broken, “Why?” Sirena’s lips curved, faint and sad. “Because love made you dangerous. And this world was not ready for you.” Her eyes flicked to Naomi, then to the siren hol

  • Crown of Blood and Moonlight   Queen Of the Northern Sea

    (Maya’s POV) The water trembled between us, Naomi’s mate glowering as he pulled her closer, the current wrapping like chains around her body. My necklace burned at my throat, the sea itself pulsing to my heartbeat, begging me to command it. I shoved back, focusing, and the water obeyed. The chains of current shattered. Naomi stumbled free for only a breath before he yanked her back, eyes flashing like stormlight. His voice ripped through me again—sharp, velvet, undeniable. “She is mine!” I bared my teeth, my wolf and something deeper inside me snarling together. “She’s my family. You don’t own her.”Power clashed—his control of the tide against the wild, untrained surge of mine. The ocean raged around us, pulling us deeper, the waves above thrashing in mirrored fury. Naomi cried out, torn between us, her bond to him pulling her forward even as her loyalty to me pulled her back. And then… the water stilled. A shadow slid

  • Crown of Blood and Moonlight   Into the Depths

    (Naomi’s POV) The voice haunted me still. “Little wolf…” It whispered through my dreams, curled around me when I closed my eyes. The more I fought it, the stronger it became, until I couldn’t tell where my wolf ended and the voice began. Tonight was worse—my body thrummed with restless energy, my skin prickled with heat. I couldn’t stay in the packhouse. I found myself at the cliff again, staring down at the moonlit waves. They seemed to move with intent, crashing in rhythm with my racing pulse. And then… the scent hit me. Salt. Deep water. Male. I barely had time to brace before something cool and strong wrapped around my wrist. “No!” I gasped, but my voice broke off in a choked scream as the ocean rose to meet me. The pull wasirresistible, dragging me straight from the rocks into the freezing black below. The water swallowed me whole. I kicked, fought, but he was there—arms strong, body solid, eyes glowing faintly in the
