Moonlight Ritual

Siron, a naive and humorous 20-year-old, lived with an ancestral curse he had never believed in. Thousands of years ago, Morat, a male shifter betrayed and murdered by the kingdom, cursed the entire line of the royal family’s men. Now, in the modern era, Siron was the last heir to that curse. His parents constantly pushed him to attend the temple for protective rituals, but Siron always evaded them, dismissing the curse as just an old story. But everything changed when Morat began to manifest, first as a faint shadow, then as a horrifying figure haunting Siron’s apartment. When Siron accidentally performed an ancient blood ritual that appeared in his dreams, Morat’s form transformed into a handsome man… but only temporarily. Terror, sensuality, and manipulation slowly began to engulf Siron’s life. Amidst a mix of fear and pleasure, Siron started to become addicted to Morat’s presence, even as he tried to find a way to break the curse that entangled his life.

My promised mate, August Sterling, fell in love with my sister, Anna Morgart. However, I was supposed to be his fated mate. Yet, he held no feelings for me. Time and again, he put off our mating ritual. Due to the delays, the mate bond wrecked my body with incredible agony. Still, August turned his back on me. His eyes were only fixated on the tiniest cut on Anna’s hand. On the 99th scheduled ceremony, August once again abandoned me for Anna. He simply said, “Anna’s in a foul mood today. I need to cheer her up at the amusement park. The ritual can wait until next week.” As August walked away, I gritted my teeth and fought back the brewing turmoil within. August had one more chance. The Moon Goddess promised that by the 100th time August decided to move the ceremony away, I would be granted the choice to sever the mate bond.

Jake's father was an Alpha and his mother a human. He was shunned by his pack after a shameful loss in a duel to his beta; Nathaniel, who claimed he was an outcast. Jake's loss meant that Nathaniel was the new Alpha. Jake is forced to seek refuge in an old man's home who had a granddaughter same age as him.

Things take a rough path when the moon goddess proclaims she wants Jake to return as the Alpha and also chooses him as Celeste; his best friend, mating partner. Will Nathaniel form a pack of his own to seek vengeance on the wolf who was birthed by a human or will he surrender to Jake's leadership? And will Jake be mated to Celeste leaving Sky in the mud or will he reject Celeste and perform the mating ritual with someone familiar?

Ezra’s never been wanted. An omega with no pack, no rank, and a mouth that gets him in trouble, he’s spent most of his life just trying to stay invisible. In a world where alphas rule and omegas are expected to kneel, Ezra has learned one thing: keep your head down, and maybe you’ll survive. Then Kael chose him. Kael—powerful, cursed, and heir to a crumbling legacy—was supposed to pick the perfect mate. Someone noble. Obedient. Safe. But under the moonlight, in front of the entire shifter council, he broke every law and claimed Ezra—the outcast nobody. Now Ezra’s caught in a bond he never asked for, tethered to an alpha who’s barely holding back the monster inside him. Their connection is dangerous. Their enemies are gathering. And as Ezra starts to feel something real for Kael… He can’t help but wonder: What if the wolf who chose him is the one who will destroy him?

I was never meant to be ordinary—I was meant to be his. In my pack, turning sixteen means shifting into your wolf for the first time, finding your mate, and stepping into your happily ever after. But when I turn sixteen, my world and everything I've ever known shatter before me. The ordinary life I knew becomes something I never dreamt it would be. My wolf isn’t what she should be. My mate isn’t who I thought he would be. And I… I’m not the girl I thought I was before. Secrets are buried deep in blood and moonlight, but now they are surfacing. And every secret I uncover pulls me closer to the fate that killed others before me. This isn’t the love story I was promised as a child. This is the love story that could destroy me and everything I hold dear. This isn't the fairytale everyone else has. This, this is a death sentence.

Five years of marriage, and as the pack's Luna, I've never been to a single big celebration. Every Moonlight Festival, I spent it alone at home. It's simply because my mate told me the pack has a rule: wolves not raised within the pack cannot join pack gatherings. Even Lunas can't. To follow this rule, I endured my wolf spirit's unease and felt lonely for five solid years. Until the eve of another Elder Gathering, I stumbled upon a post from his first love on social media. Through another woman's account, I saw my mate. She posted pictures with my mate. For five years, at every Elder Gathering, they were side-by-side, never apart. That's when I realized, it wasn't that he couldn't make an exception. It was just that the one he'd make an exception for wasn't me.

Eleanor and Harvey, two remaining young werewolves from the Crescent pack, are sent off to the Kingdom of Azen to attend a prestigious event. They ought to make an appearance to represent their pack at the Moonlight Ball: a traditional gathering held every eighteen months in the palace of Azen. The ball opens opportunities for werewolves to create alliances through marriage – a chance to either find love or union with other packs. However, a supposed anticipated event leads to a tragedy that causes upheaval throughout the entire kingdom. The queen is poisoned, and her death results in the Azenians demanding a new ruler. This leaves the two royal siblings, Enzo and Zandra, to identify the culprit while they fight over the throne. Court intrigues surface and fated love affairs blossom, keeping all of them occupied from the real threat that lurks. As a dark form of magic begins to loom around the corner, it’s up to them to figure out where it funnels from before Azen collapses… and before death comes lurking in the shadows.
