Four creatures live in this world: Vampires, Werewolves, Witches and Wizards, and Humans. In a change of event, I was taken in by Werewolves and protected from the war ongoing between Hunters and Vampires. All were attacked by a new enemy from the Old World but when the time came and my powers as a witch grew vastly, I was able to capture the minds of Vampires, Werewolves and Hunters to join hands to defeat our common enemy. They learned they needed to watch each other's back and being the Witch for the New World and the Queen Of All Vampire's Kings, I was able to ever the peace.

"Rael, what's this?" "An anklet, since you don't want an ankle monitor." "I'm not your pet!" "No, you're not." "Then, get this thing off me!" "It's either that or I'll tatt my name on your wrists and over your sweet mounds so the whole world knows you're mine." ~~~ They called me a murderer. I became a rogue to survive. And when my wolf finally surfaced, she came with blood on her hands. Now I’m bound to him—Rael, the Lycan King cursed to die alone. Our bond shouldn’t exist. He’s the descendant of the Moon Goddess, Lycans who are forbidden to mate with werewolves. But fate doesn’t ask. It takes. It binds. It burns. He says I belong in his cage. I say I’ll burn it down. The war between us will either break the curse... or destroy us both.

In my previous life, on the day my sister and I attended the Witch Covenant's mating ceremony, I saved a fallen vampire prince. To repay my debt, the prince, upon returning to his clan, immediately declared that I would be his future bride. A year later, I gave birth to a pureblood heir—the only successor of the entire vampire lineage. The prince was overjoyed. On the day of his coronation as King, he sealed a blood bond with me, declaring me his eternal companion and queen. From that moment, I was revered by all races. My sister, meanwhile, chose a powerful werewolf Alpha, only to fade into obscurity as one among his many lovers. Her jealousy of me spiraled into madness. During a full-moon ritual held by the witches, she pushed me into an abyss, leaving me to die from the fall. When I opened my eyes again, I saw her running toward the direction of the vampire prince's misfortune on the very day of the mating ceremony. I knew then: she, too, had been reborn. But what she didn't realize was this—becoming the prince's bride was easy. Winning his heart, bearing his child, now that was as impossible as climbing to the heavens.

The sixth year I gave up my family, my name, everything, to be with Marcus. That’s when I found out I was just a stand-in for the one he could never forget. And now, she was back. I accepted my family’s arrangement. The marriage alliance. The day my engagement dress arrived at the office, Marcus looked pissed. “I thought we agreed we’d get married when my career was more stable.” I said nothing. But when the wedding invitation arrived, Marcus finally broke. The groom wasn't him. It was the heir to the Moretti family.

For ten years, I spent by Damien Thorne's side, helping him transform from a servant's son into the powerful Alpha of Shadow Pack. I believed I would eventually see the day he'd claim me as his mate. Instead, he brought home Scarlett Rivers, his childhood sweetheart who had been living abroad, treating her like precious royalty while making her his Luna. To help his beloved Scarlett and free her parents from prison, Damien handed over my healing potion patents without hesitation. Even my own son was placed in Scarlett's care to secure her position as Shadow Pack's Luna. I became everything to Damien—his financial backer, his assistant, his healer, his bed partner—everything except what I truly wanted to be: his rightful mate. "Just wait a little longer," Damien always promised me. "Once I repay my debt to my childhood benefactor, you'll be my only mate." So, I kept waiting and waiting. But Damien seemed to forget his promises entirely. Even my own child began to despise me. Suddenly, exhaustion hit me like a tidal wave. Waiting felt pointless. I didn't want to do it anymore.

They thought wolves hid because they were afraid. They were wrong. Once, she was human. Chosen at the crossroads by the Moon and claimed by Hecate, she was remade into something that had never existed before—and crowned Queen Mother Luna, sovereign of a hidden world built on secrecy and law. She is not merely their ruler. She is their foundation. Because the wolves who came after her were forged from her judgment. One rule protects them all: No human may ever learn the truth. Break it, and you are erased. Your wolf is torn away. Your memories are stripped clean. You are cast into the human world as if you never existed. As packs rebel and the limits of secrecy are tested, the Queen must enforce the law she was created to embody—even when love, loyalty, and blood demand mercy. Because she was not chosen to be kind. She was chosen to ensure survival. And once a wolf is erased… nothing can bring them back.
