Synopsis

Luna

Secret Love

Weak to Strong

Werewolf

Already claimed, and boxed into a sham “impending union”, Luna Michelle is forced to live like a prisoner in her own pack, even though she’s the true leader. With Alpha Patrick away at a Summit, she grabs the first real chance she’s had to run. But escape isn’t simple when his influence still chokes every corner of her life… and the pack has been trained to see her as the problem. Then fate intervenes. A sudden accident stops Beta Jason from travelling with Patrick, and Patrick orders him to stay behind and keep Michelle under watch. What should be eight days of surveillance becomes something neither of them expects: stolen moments, quiet truths, and a dangerous pull that turns watchman into ally. Trapped together, Michelle and Jason must navigate suspicion, control, and a pack on the verge of breaking, while a forbidden romance sparks in the one place it should never exist.

This story brought out a lot of emotions. I’m definitely not used to seeing a mate not being loving to his Luna but nonetheless I feel it was a story that needed to be told. It is one that women go through in society daily. I definitely recommend reading it and know there will be a HEA.

Chapter 1 – The Cage in the Range Pack
Michelle rose from her living room sofa as the distant purr of an engine broke the silence. The sound was unmistakable, Alpha Patrick’s car crunching across the gravel driveway. Her heart stuttered. She glanced at the clock on the wall; the hands pointed to three fifteen. He wasn’t supposed to be home yet.“What is he doing back early?” she muttered under her breath, her stomach twisting.A nervous chill crept through her even though the air conditioning hummed softly in the corner. She hated that she reacted this way to his presence. Every time she heard that car, her mind raced, her pulse quickened, and her body stiffened as though anticipating a blow.She adjusted the hem of her faded house dress and forced herself to stand still. She tried to gather her composure, though the tension building in her chest felt suffocating.The front door opened with a sharp creak. Alpha Patrick stepped inside, his tall frame filling the doorway. The expression on his face told her everything she ne

Chapter 2 The Sound of the Bell
Patrick’s footsteps were heavy, echoing down the hallway like the prelude to a storm. When he left the room and turned toward the kitchen, Michelle’s heart began to pound so violently she thought he could hear it. She scrambled off the couch and rushed toward the refrigerator, her bare feet cold against the tiled floor. The quiet hum of the air conditioner was suddenly too loud, the air itself too thin.“Let me fix you a sandwich,” she said quickly, opening the fridge before he could speak. “I usually cook dinner by five; I didn’t know you would be home early.” Her voice sounded foreign to her own ears , too light, too fast, as if she could smooth over danger with words. She pushed aside containers and bottles, searching desperately for something to please him. Her hands moved faster, growing more frantic with each second, until realisation struck; there were no cold cuts, no ham, no meat at all. Only vegetables and leftover soup from yesterday. Her throat tightened. What was a

Chapter 3 – The Weight of Silence
The moment she was out of the house, she began to walk, fast, her heels clicking against the pavement, her vision blurring with tears she could no longer hold back. Each step felt like an act of defiance. Each breath, a tiny rebellion.It was unfair, all of it. The laws that bound her. The traditions that said women couldn’t lead. The system that gave power only to men with dominance in their veins and cruelty in their hearts.She would have made a fine Alpha. Everyone knew it, even Patrick. Especially Patrick. That was why he hated her so much. Not because she was weak, but because she wasn’t.She’d grown up here, in these streets, among these people, in this land her father had built with sweat and blood. The forest behind the Range Pack’s territory still held her childhood laughter in its leaves. But now she walked those same paths as a stranger, a shadow.Her people looked at her and saw only the Luna. The alpha’s woman. The silent figure who never smiled, never waved, never s

Chapter 4 – A Fleeting Kindness
The sun hung low, painting the streets in a dull orange glow as Michelle made her way down the familiar path leading to the town center. The air was thick with the smell of pine and exhaust from the few old vehicles that still ran in the Range Pack territory. Her eyes were swollen from crying, but she kept walking, her posture straight, her face blank. She had learned how to hide pain, how to wear silence like armor.She was still lost in thought when a small figure darted out from behind a shop corner.A child, a tiny girl, barely three, ran straight into her legs. The impact was soft but enough to jolt Michelle out of her haze. She instinctively bent down, steadying the child before she could fall.“Hey, are you alright, little one?” Michelle asked gently, crouching to the child’s level. Her voice softened automatically, instinctively, she had always been good with children.The little girl looked up with wide brown eyes that mirrored innocence and fear in equal measure. Her tiny fi

Chapter 5 – The Line She Drew (Part 1)
The rest of the day unfolded like the slow crawl of dusk, quiet on the outside, simmering underneath.Patrick and Jason remained shut away in his office for most of the afternoon, their muffled voices seeping beneath the door, the cadence of command and strategy rising and falling like a dull heartbeat through the walls. For Michelle, that isolation was its own small mercy. She stayed in the kitchen, cleaning what didn’t need cleaning, folding napkins, wiping the same counter three times over. Every scrape of a chair or soft laugh from the office made her shoulders tighten, but as long as they remained preoccupied, she had peace. Still, peace was temporary in this house. It was always temporary.By the time the clock struck six, the sun had dipped behind the tree line, leaving streaks of orange light slanting through the living-room windows. Michelle had just finished loading the dishwasher when she heard the front gate creak open. Her stomach sank. The distinct rhythm of heels on

Chapter 6 – The Line She Drew (Part 2)
The room froze again. Michelle stared at him, shocked. Jason, the loyal beta, Patrick’s right-hand man, the one who never interfered, had just sided with her.Patrick’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “Jason,” he said, his voice low, warning. Jason didn’t flinch. “This is unnecessary, Alpha. We still have the summit to plan this week. Don’t waste your energy on this.”The way he said it, cool, dismissive, was deliberate. He was protecting her by redirecting Patrick’s anger, making it seem as if she wasn’t worth the effort.Patrick studied him for several seconds, his breathing harsh, his hands flexing at his sides. The air between them crackled with dominance and challenge. Beta Jason was an alpha by breed, powerful in his own right, but to openly contradict his Alpha, especially over Michelle, was dangerous. Michelle held her breath.Finally, Patrick scoffed, breaking the tension. “You’re defending her now?” “I’m defending your focus,” Jason said carefully. “You have bigger matters t

Chapter 7 – The Breaking Point (Part 1)
Rebecca took her bags into the master bedroom, humming softly to herself as her heels clicked against the marble floor. Michelle watched her disappear down the hallway, her expression carefully blank, though a part of her trembled inside. The scent of Rebecca’s perfume, expensive and sharp, lingered in the air long after she was gone. The house felt smaller somehow, its walls closing in with every second of her presence.Michelle turned away, weary and hollow. The tension in the living room was suffocating; Patrick and Jason were still seated, drinks half-finished, a muted sports channel flickering on the TV that no one was watching. “I’m going to bed,” Michelle said quietly, her voice level but drained.Patrick’s head lifted from where he reclined, his eyes narrowing. “Where are you off to?” “To bed,” she repeated, already heading toward the guestroom. “You sleep with us in the master’s tonight,” he said suddenly.Michelle stopped mid-step. For a heartbeat, she thought she h

Chapter 8 – The Breaking Point (Part 2)
“Please, Alpha,” Jason said, breaking the silence, his voice calm but firm. “Let her sleep in peace. We have a long week ahead of us, and the summit presentation isn’t finished.” Patrick stared at him for a long moment, his eyes gleaming with something dark and mocking.Then he let out a low laugh. “Even the beta doesn’t want to touch you,” he said, turning his gaze back to Michelle.The venom in his voice made her flinch. “I doubt you’d have found a mate if you didn’t have money or land to offer,” he continued, each word sharpened for maximum cruelty. “You can go to bed, Michelle. I’m not interested either. Haven’t been for a while.”His laughter followed her as she turned and walked away, her head held high despite the burning in her eyes. She refused to let him see her cry, not this time. Once inside the guestroom, she closed the door and locked it. Her hands were trembling so badly she could barely turn the key, but she did. Then she leaned against the door, sliding slowly dow

Chapter 9 – The Price of Loyalty
The night still clung to the sky when Jason left the Alpha’s mansion. The air was cool, quiet, and heavy with fatigue. He rubbed his eyes as he walked toward his car, the exhaustion settling deep in his bones. They had stayed up far too late finalizing details for the summit, Patrick talking endlessly, Jason nodding along, his mind miles away.He couldn’t shake the image of Michelle’s face when Patrick had humiliated her. The way she’d stood her ground, trembling but unbroken. It haunted him more than he cared to admit.He got into his car, exhaled, and started the engine. The road ahead was empty, a dark ribbon stretching through the forest, illuminated only by the pale headlights.He shouldn’t have driven in that state. His eyelids felt heavy, each blink slower than the last. But he wanted to get home, to get away from Patrick’s voice still echoing in his skull.Somewhere along the stretch of winding road between the pack mansion and the Beta’s quarters, fatigue won. His grip loosen

Chapter 10 – Quiet Preparations (Part 1)
The moment Patrick’s car pulled away from the house, Michelle exhaled for what felt like the first time in weeks. The sound of the tyres fading into the distance was like a door unlocking in her chest. She stood by the window for several minutes, her hands pressed to the glass, watching the road until he disappeared completely. Only then did she move.She didn’t waste a second. The moment he left, she sprang into quiet action. Her heart was pounding, but her thoughts were steady, calculated. There was no wild desperation in her movements anymore. Just resolve. Patrick’s cruelty had become something she could predict, and that made it easier to plan around him.She went to her small study, not the Alpha’s Homeoffice, which Patrick had claimed for himself, but a corner room she had repurposed into her own sanctuary. Inside were the remnants of her old life: ledgers her mother had taught her to balance, framed photographs from a happier time, and a locked chest filled with files she
