His search comes to an end after a brief meeting with her, but claiming her poses a problem for him, so he begins making plans to get her. With the time of witch's curse manifestation approaching, Adam uses that to his advantage and gets ignorant his mate, Tammy, to cater for the wolves of his pack. And with her stay in the pack house, new developments occur, which disrupts her past and threatens her future with Adam. Will they still come together after terrible secrets unfold? Or would their bond be shattered? A scream pierces the air, and I whirl around, my attention now on the crowd. The lady, Amanda, points a trembling finger at me. "A witch! We have a witch among us!"

The Blood Moon was supposed to unite them. Instead, it turned her into prey. Tricia Thorne was rejected, humiliated, and cast aside by the Alpha who once claimed her under ancient law. But when she stumbles into the territory of his greatest rival, fate twists again. Alpha Tristan doesn’t offer mercy. He offers a mark. Now bound to two powerful Alphas, her body becomes a battlefield. Her heart refuses to choose. And her secret pregnancy threatens to ignite a war neither pack can survive. Two Alphas. One rejected Luna. A mark that could either kill her… or crown her.

She was never supposed to save him. He was never supposed to betray her. When Isabella Morgan weds Alpha Klaus Lockhart, she dreams of melting the ice in his heart, and of building a family beneath Silvermoon Pack’s sacred moon. She gives him everything. Her loyalty. Her body. Her life. She even takes a scar meant to kill him, but nothing prepares her for the night her world shatters. She finds him tangled with Alice Morningstar, seductress witch, and the destroyer. And her son… Her precious boy… Runs past her, into another woman’s arms. “Mom,” he calls someone else but doesn't acknowledge her presence. Her mate does not deny it. He does not stop him, he does not choose her. He never did. Betrayed and erased, Isabella uncovers a nightmare buried beneath her marriage…. Cursed bloodlines, stolen moon-blessed children, and a truth that destroys everything she believed. Now, as Silvermoon trembles under treachery and dark magic, a stranger steps from the shadows. Tyler Redmond. Dangerous, devoted, and even willing to burn the world for her. “You deserved worship,” he tells her softly. “Not abandonment.” But the man who broke her begins to look at her differently. Too late. With regret, with hunger, with something terrifyingly close to love. Because the Luna he discarded is gone, and the woman rising from her ashes… Is no longer his. In a world of obsession, betrayal, and ancient power. Love is not salvation. Love is war. And this time, Isabella will decide who kneels.

Excerpt. “Reject me and let me go! Staying here with me is only going to hurt you more!” Avery growled, her voice quivering gazing at the man in front of her. “You are the only one allowed to hurt me. I see no reason why I have to leave,” he grinned slyly. Avery's eyes were filled with tears, the love she had for him soared when he leaned forward and pressed his lips on hers. *** Avery's eighteenth birthday was supposed to be a celebration of her transition into adulthood, just like every other she-wolf. But her dreams were shattered when she discovered the shocking truth: her destined mate, chosen by the moon goddess herself, was none other than her sworn enemy. The one being she was bound to for life was the same one she had vowed to challenge. Avery's heart raced with a mix of anger, fear, and disbelief. Later on, she found herself protecting the same man from the danger lurking around her.

“Used. Marked. Betrayed. Now it’s her turn to break the rules." Elena thought being mated meant safety, love, and forever. But forever shattered the day her husband brought another woman home, under the lie of sickness, only for Elena to discover she was pregnant with his child. And worse? He wanted an open bond, like she was some convenience to be traded when bored.

Not when power, pride, and his darkest secrets are tied to her. When Elena turns to Alpha Horace, the ruthless Alpha King and her husband’s estranged cousin, she finds more than protection; she finds someone who sees her, desires her, and is willing to burn everything down to keep her safe.
