Kinds Of Kindness Plot

Aluna grew up in a pack that never truly wanted her. Feared since childhood for a strange gift she could not control, she was branded cursed and treated as an omen of misfortune. Still, she clung to the hope that one day she would belong. That hope shattered on her sixteenth birthday. While others awakened their wolves and found their destined mates, Aluna was left with nothing. No wolf. No bond. In front of the entire pack, Wilson, the Alpha’s son, revealed she was his mate—only to reject her publicly and choose her sister, Grace, as his future Luna. The humiliation stripped her of the last shred of safety she had. From that moment, cruelty became her daily reality. Starved, overworked, and degraded by both pack and family, Aluna endured a life designed to break her. What none of them realized was that every act of suffering was awakening something ancient within her. Her power was not a curse. It was dormant. A hidden prophecy spoke of a coming Blood Moon that would threaten all supernatural beings. Only the child of the Moon Goddess could stop it. Aluna’s parents knew this truth—and believed her pain was preparation. When she is later traded in a political exchange to a ruthless Alpha, Aluna begins to lose all hope of survival. Everything changes when Dalton, the son of the King of Wolves, arrives. Cursed with uncontrollable bloodlust during every full moon, Dalton had long abandoned his search for salvation. Until he meets Aluna. As fate draws them together, Aluna must choose whether to save a world that never showed her mercy—or finally choose herself.

Welcome back to Clifton Heights. Sheriff Chris Baker and Father Ward meet for a Saturday morning breakfast at The Skylark Diner to once again commiserate over the weird and terrifying secrets surrounding their town. Sheriff Baker shares with Father Ward the story of a journal discovered in the ruins of what was once an elaborate koi pond and flower garden, which regales a tale of regret, buried pain, and unfulfilled debt: “Sophan” – Jake Burns has always been a bit...off. Rude, awkward, sometimes brutish, he's tolerated by Nate Slocum and his friends because he hits a mean line drive, and because they all know but don't discuss the abuse he faces at the hands of his troubled father, a Vietnam veteran consumed by his demons. But Jake is suffering something far worse than domestic abuse, and when Nate discovers what, he faces an impossible choice: help Jake and put himself in the path of evil, or abandon him, only to damn himself in the process. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing
