A Storm Of Swords

***Captivating Storm Book 1*** Orphaned by the unexpected attack of a rogue pack, Yusria gets adopted by the Beta of the Setting Dawn Pack. 18 years of living under the neglect and abuse of her adopted family leads her becoming the mate of the Alpha's son. Just when she thinks her life would take a turn for the better, she dies under the manipulation of her husband and adopted sister. Reborn and fueled with a desire to find her fated mate, Yusria sets out of the Setting Dawn Pack to embark on a journey that, unknowingly, sets in motion a prophecy long forgotten and buried under the passage of time. "Mate!" The strangled cry of the Emperor rendered the spectating Alphas and Lunas speechless. 'Mate? What mate...?' 'Must be Miss Eradani, right? The Emperor's Lover?' 'Of course! Otherwise, who did you expect? Heh...It's not like the Lykan Emperor can claim a true mate!' Disdainful scoffs and mocking sneers surfaced on the faces of the Eastern Empire's prominent alpha leaders. The barely audible cry of 'mate' from the Great Eastern Emperor Zeonen's mouth made them look at the latter with scorn. Mate? For all his power and wealth, in their eyes, he would forever remain beneath them for being born a Lykan, a creature infamously deprived of the greatest gift of the Moon Goddess. A true mate.

Aria always believed in fate until the moon itself began to curse her name. Born powerless in a world that worships strength, she grows up shadowed by whispers of bad blood and ancient prophecy. Yet beneath her quiet nature burns something the others can’t see the spark of the Moon Blessed, a gift feared as much as it is worshipped. When destiny binds her path to Ares, the cold, disciplined Alpha haunted by duty and betrayal, Aria dares to hope that the moon’s promise might mean love, not ruin. But love in a world ruled by claws and crowns is never simple. Their fragile bond fractures under the weight of secrets Ares’ loyalty to a council that mistrusts her, and the shadow of Clara, his former bestfriend turned rival, who will stop at nothing to see Aria fall. When betrayal ignites chaos and the goddess herself intervenes, Aria’s hidden power awakens in a storm of silver fire. Once branded weak and cursed, she must rise to become the very force the pack fears not their doom, but their salvation. No longer the servant whispered about in corridors, Aria stands between two moons, between mercy and war. And as the heavens themselves turn their gaze upon her, one truth remains: "Even the smallest light can burn through the darkest fate." From exile to destiny, from cursed to chosen this is the rise of the true Moon Blessed Luna.

“I’m nothing to you. My presence repulses you, but the lust in your eyes is clear, Malakai Phantom.” I spat right in his face.
