Summoning his courage, he stripped his tunic from his upper body and seized Tom's hand in his own. "Touch me. Please." John thought Tom was going to refuse until he used his free hand to reach out.

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.

Tras la muerte de mi hermana, firmé un contrato matrimonial por cinco años con su esposo, Horton Falcone, un hombre de la mafia. Me convertí en la madrastra de mi sobrino de cinco años, Luca. El día de mi cumpleaños, me puse el collar con la cruz de diamantes de mi difunta hermana, sin darme cuenta de lo que representaba. Durante la cena familiar, Luca se me acercó con una copa de vino tinto y me la aventó a la cara. El vino tinto escurrió por mis mejillas; su olor penetrante me ardía en los ojos y manchaba mi vestido blanco. Echó la cabeza hacia atrás para mirarme; tenía los ojos tan crueles como los de su padre. —No creas que vas a reemplazar a mi mamá nada más porque te casaste y entraste a la familia Falcone —dijo con una sonrisa maliciosa—. Tú tienes la culpa de que esté muerta. Ojalá te hubieras muerto tú. Así podría romper tu lápida en vez de celebrar este cumpleaños estúpido. ¡Cuando sea grande, voy a tirarte al Río Hudson! El recuerdo ardía tanto como el vino, y lo único que me quedaba era un sabor a desesperanza. Me quedé mirando al niño que había criado como propio durante cinco años y sentí mucho dolor. Había pensado que podía entregarme a la familia Falcone, que podría ganármelo con mi cariño. Pero ahora, ya estaba harta. Era una familia sin amor, con un niño que me veía como su enemiga. Dejé de engañarme. Era hora de dejarlo ir. Pero después de irme, ese padre arrogante y su hijo regresaron arrastrándose hacia mí como perros para suplicar mi perdón.

I'm going to slice your tongue—let's see how you can continue lying to Mom when you can't speak!" She shatters the pendant, gouges my eyeballs out, slashes my tongue, and has several men torment me to death. Lastly, she includes my eyeballs as decorations in a bouquet and brings it to Mom.
