The morning air was crisp, but for Maya it felt suffocating. As she unlocked the front door of her bookstore the tiny bell chimed, a sound that usually brought her peace. Today, it sounded like a warning.

Why on earth did she feel like she was being watched?

She shook the feeling off, blaming it on the lack of sleep.

She was rearranging a display of vintage poetry when the door burst open with such force that the bell nearly flew off its hinge.

  • Worshipping His Human Luna   14. The Penthouse

    The brass doorknob turned with an agonizingly slow squeak.Maya’s breath hitched, her fingers tightening around the classified files until the edges bit painfully into her palms. Alpha. Luna. The Greycrest Pack. The words swam before her eyes, an impossible puzzle of cult-like terminology mixed with terrifying surveillance photos of herself.The heavy door swung open, and the breath she had been holding rushed out in a panicked gasp.It was Roman.He filled the narrow doorway of the breakroom, his broad shoulders practically brushing the frame. He wore his usual impeccably tailored charcoal suit, but the polished, unbothered billionaire facade was entirely gone. His chest heaved, his strong jaw was clenched tight enough to snap bone, and for a fleeting, terrifying second, the irises of his dark eyes flashed a brilliant, inhuman amber.“Maya,” he breathed, his deep voice carrying a strange, turbulent mix of profound relief and bubbling, violent rage.His intense gaze dropped from her p

  • Worshipping His Human Luna   13. Suspicions

    What secret is he hiding?That single, looping question had kept Maya awake all night, playing like a broken record in her mind. She stood by her apartment window, staring out at the rain-slicked city streets, clutching a mug of coffee that had gone cold hours ago. Her reflection in the glass looked hollow, the dark circles under her eyes a testament to the strange, bone-deep exhaustion that had plagued her for weeks.It was a fatigue unlike anything she had ever experienced. It wasn’t just physical tiredness from opening the new bookstore; it felt as though a vital piece of her soul was desperately reaching out for something just out of her grasp, draining her physical reserves in the process. She felt fragile, constantly shivering, with a bizarre ache in her chest that only seemed to subside when Roman Blake was near.But last night, that mysterious exhaustion had been violently overridden by pure, unadulterated terror.The power outage. The sudden, pitch-black darkness. And then… t

    The morning air was crisp, but for Maya it felt suffocating. As she unlocked the front door of her bookstore the tiny bell chimed, a sound that usually brought her peace. Today, it sounded like a warning.Why on earth did she feel like she was being watched?She shook the feeling off, blaming it on the lack of sleep. She was rearranging a display of vintage poetry when the door burst open with such force that the bell nearly flew off its hinge.Roman Blake didn’t enter a room; he stormed into it.Today, his presence was even more suffocating than the city heat. He looked as though he hadn’t slept either, his dark eyes burning with a possessive fire that made Maya’s heart do a traitorous flutter.“Roman? It’s eight in the morning,” Maya said, wiping dust from her hands and trying to maintain her composure.He didn’t answer with a greeting. Instead, he closed the distance between them in three predatory strides, his hands coming up to frame her face. He searched her eyes, his thumbs gr

  • Worshipping His Human Luna   11. Unseen Threat

    Thomas Caldwell crouched low against the damp, loamy earth of the Greycrest Pack's ancestral forest, his gnarled fingers tracing the faint, almost imperceptible indentations in the soil. It was not a rogue wolf. It was not a trespasser from a rival territory. It was their own Alpha.For the past three days, Roman had been a ghost—a phantom leader who had abruptly abandoned his post. He had missed the sacred lunar council, ignored the quarterly corporate review that maintained their empire's human facade, and blatantly dismissed Thomas’s daughter, whom Thomas had strategically placed in Roman’s executive office to secure their bloodline.Thomas stood slowly, brushing the dark dirt from his impeccably tailored suit trousers. His amber eyes narrowed as he looked past the ancient pines toward the glittering, polluted skyline of the human city in the distance. Roman was hiding something.The pack was murmuring, the restless energy of the wolves bubbling into a dangerous anxiety. An Alpha d

  • Worshipping His Human Luna   10. Craving His Touch

    The moment Roman’s lips crashed onto hers, the world didn’t just fade—it shattered. This wasn’t the clumsy, nervous collision of a first date. It was scorching and possessive. But what terrified Maya wasn’t his aggression; it was her own immediate, catastrophic surrender. A jolt of raw electricity—something hot, heavy, and completely unnatural—snapped through her veins. Is this normal? her hazy mind scrambled to ask. Can a kiss physically shock you? It felt as though a dormant circuit within her very cells had suddenly been switched on, flooding her nervous system with a sparkling, blinding heat. The mate bond—though she had no name for it—was sinking its claws into her fragile human physiology. She should be furious. Seconds ago, she was grilling him about his feral, inhuman growl and the impossible golden flare of his eyes. She was logically dissecting his weak, gaslighting excuses about chandelier lighting and corporate sabotage. She knew, with every fiber of her fiercely ind

  • Worshipping His Human Luna   9. The Growl

    The feral, chest-rattling sound vibrated through the fine crystal glasses scattered across the table, echoing menacingly against the dark mahogany walls of the exclusive private dining room. Silence settled into the space immediately after the roar, thick, heavy, and entirely suffocating.The waiter, a young pack subordinate who had only just started working at the establishment, was trembling so violently that the empty wine bottle in his hand clattered uncontrollably against his silver serving tray.He was pale, his eyes wide with absolute terror, his posture completely submissive in the face of his Alpha's unrestrained fury.But Roman was not looking at the cowering waiter. His intense gaze was locked exclusively on Maya. She stood frozen beside her chair, the dark red stain spreading rapidly across the delicate white fabric of her evening dress, looking entirely too much like a fatal wound.For a terrifying split second, Roman's inner wolf had ripped away his control and taken the

  • Worshipping His Human Luna   7. No Escape

    What was his ultimate goal? To own the air she breathed? To weave an invisible cage so tightly around her that she would never even think to fly away?Outside her apartment door, Roman Blake stood in the dimly lit, foul-smelling hallway. His heightened senses were assaulted by the stale scent of ch

  • Worshipping His Human Luna   6. The Chase

    When the heavy mahogany doors slammed shut behind Maya, the sound echoed through Roman’s sprawling office like a gunshot. The silence that followed was deafening, broken only by the ragged sound of his own breathing.Every instinct inside him, every primal urge of his inner wolf, screamed at him to

  • Worshipping His Human Luna   8. A Strange Dinner

    Maya stood trembling in the center of her living room, her ultimatum hanging in the air between them like a drawn blade. Tell me the truth, or I'll walk out that door and never come back.Roman Blake looked at her, his broad shoulders filling the doorway, his chest rising and falling with heavy, al
