Who Are The Main Characters In Chosen By The Dark Wold?

Avani is the last earth dragon in the world. Not only that, but he is also the last male dragon. The other three remaining elemental dragons, air, water and fire, are all females. Unless he mates with one of the other three dragons, the race of pure dragons will die out. Since he snubs the idea of finding a mate, refusing to allow anyone to claim him and therefore control him, he has taken over as protector of the forest. The hunters are always searching for supernaturals to force into their Arenas, a modern-day gladiator fighting ring. And now, they are capturing supernaturals to experiment on, creating a new race of hybrid creatures. Because Avani can shift his emerald-green scales into the black of onyx, those he saves have started to call him The Dark Protector. Merethyl is an elven princess. She and her brother, Yhendorn, are captured by hunters when her family is attacked, her parents slaughtered in front of her. She and Yhendorn are held captive, experimented on, until one day they find a way to escape. As they flee, Yhendorn is re-captured sacrificing himself to make sure Merethyl gets away. As she runs, the hunters chase her, trying to run her down. Avani hears her and flies to her rescue, killing the hunters that are after her. When he realizes that she smells better than anyone he’s ever smelled before, he knows he must get away from her. He cannot allow her to have the total control over him that claiming him would give her. But Merethyl has nowhere else to go and she needs Avani’s help to rescue her brother. Will Avani be able to resist the charms of the elven princess, or will he fall to her, claimed, making her his dragonrider?

Aria Hale spent her entire life believing the Moon Goddess created someone just for her. Someone who would see her. Choose her. Love her. She didn’t expect her fated mate to be Alpha Blake Thorn—the golden boy of the pack… or that he would reject her in front of everyone on her eighteenth birthday. Humiliated, heartbroken, and stripped of her place in the pack, Aria runs into the Forbidden Woods, praying for the pain to stop. But instead of death, she finds something far more dangerous: The Dark King. Erevan is ancient, feared, and impossibly powerful. To the world he is a myth. To Aria, he is the first person who looks at her like she is worth the world. And when she collapses in his arms, he does the unthinkable— He claims her as his mate. In the Dark Realm, Aria begins to unlock abilities she never knew she had. Abilities that were never meant to exist in the mortal world. Abilities that could destroy everything she once called home. When she returns to her old pack, Alpha Blake realizes the awful truth: Rejecting her was the biggest mistake of his life. But it’s too late. Aria is no longer the girl who begged for love. She is the mate of a king. Chosen. Claimed. Unstoppable. And she will never kneel again. A rejected-mate romance filled with betrayal, power, jealousy, possessive love, and a heroine who rises from broken to legendary.

They abused her. Used her for their dirty work. Humiliated her publicly. Treated her like filth on their shoes. They called her an omega. A servant. A mistake. But the Moon never forgot her name. Daeira (Day-rah) *Dee* to her friends, doesn't remember the night her family was slaughtered. She doesn't know she's the last living heir of the Seralyn Pack, sacred white wolves descended from the Moon Goddess Selene. Blessed with lunar & healing magic, divine power, and moon fire in their blood. All she knows is cruelty, hunger, and survival in the most ruthless pack in existence. Raised by the wolves who killed her bloodline, Daeira has spent her life in the shadows, beaten, starved, silenced. She hides her strength. Hides her power. Hides the truth of what her wolf really is. Until the night she turns eighteen... and the Moon wakes her. Her wolf rises in a blaze of silver flame, and for the first time, Daeira sees what she really is, chosen, divine, and deadly. But when her fated mate, the Alpha's son, rejects her in front of the entire pack, everything shatters. She doesn't beg. She doesn't break. She runs. Because Daeira isn't the broken little thing they raised in a cage. She's the prophecy made flesh. And the world has no idea what's coming. An ancient evil is spreading through the wolf realm. The rift to the hell realm has cracked wide open. Demons walk the earth. Angels are falling from the skies to stop them. And Daeira? She's the only one who can close the breach. The wolves who cast her out are about to learn: The Moon doesn't bless without purpose. She sure as hell doesn't forgive. ✅ Reverse Harem/Dark Romance ✅ Rejected mate ✅ Dark Magic/Demons ✅ Hidden goddess bloodline

The Alpha King. The ruthless ruler whose family destroyed hers. The enemy she has spent her whole life hating. Then he says the one thing that changes everything. "You're my mate." Impossible. A wolf only has one true mate. So why is the most feared Alpha in the territory claiming the woman another man rejected? As old blood debts, deadly secrets, and a forbidden mate bond threaten to ignite a war between packs, Gemma must choose between the man who broke her heart... and the enemy who was destined to claim it.

Natasha Crescent is the overlooked third daughter of the Crescent Moon Pack Alpha—trained as a warrior, not a Luna, and determined to live beyond the expectations of her bloodline. While her siblings are prepared for leadership and alliance, Natasha has spent her life resisting the idea of being chosen. That resistance is shattered when the Alpha King hosts a grand ball where all eligible wolves are expected to attend for political matchmaking and fated mate recognition. Forced into a world she avoids, Natasha enters a room full of Alphas, alliances, and silent negotiations that decide futures. Among them is Damien Shadow, the powerful and feared Alpha of the Shadow Fang Pack. Ruthless, strategic, and fiercely independent, Damien has rejected every attempt by his elders to bind him to a chosen mate, refusing anything that threatens his control. But when Natasha and Damien cross paths, something undeniable awakens between them—a fated bond neither anticipated nor wanted. In a world where mates define power and rejection can spark conflict between packs, their connection becomes both a threat and a temptation. Natasha refuses to be claimed, and Damien refuses to be controlled, yet fate has already made its decision. What begins as a political gathering becomes the turning point of two lives—and possibly two kingdoms—as the bond between them challenges everything they thought they controlled.

Soulbound: Chosen by Darkness In a city that devours the vulnerable, Tharien has learned one rule: distance is the only way to protect what he loves. Dangerous by nature and hunted by forces that fear the power of connection, he walks away from the one person who anchors him—Nori—believing his absence will keep her safe. But their bond is not something that can be outrun. A rare and forbidden soulbond ties them together, threading their hearts, their pain, and their survival into one. When Tharien disappears, the bond fractures, leaving Nori hollowed by longing and hunted by shadows that feed on separation. The farther he goes, the darker the world becomes—because something ancient has awakened in the space between them. As secret watchers circle and those who sever bonds hunt in the name of “mercy,” Tharien is forced to confront the lie he’s lived by. His distance is not protection. It is a wound. And the darkness that stalks their world grows stronger with every step he takes away from her. To save Nori, Tharien must return to the one place he swore he’d never stand again—at her side. Because in a world that calls separation mercy, choosing each other is rebellion. And loving her may be the only thing that keeps the darkness from devouring them both.
