Adira is the first dhampir born in hundreds of years, a being born of a human woman and a vampire father, or so she had been told since birth. Because of this she was not allowed to leave the mansion grounds, and was kept like a prisoner. Her heritage to both the humans and vampires planted a seed of hatred in the hearts of the rest vampires. She was treated like an outcast, till she decided she had had enough and she was going to run away and live her life far from the drama of the supernatural world. A twist of fate brought Theodore, the seductive young handsome Alpha of the moonlight pack and a mortal enemy to her conclave of vampires, in her dream the night before she would escape the Mansion. It was just a dream, she thought and continued her plans to escape the conclave. Things however quickly took a huge turn after she met Theodore in real life, saving her just at the nick of time from an accident that should have ended her life. Both of them were quickly swept off their feets with feelings that they could not explain, even though they tried as much as possible to fight it. After a long series of events, it was revealed to them that she was his Destined Luna. But how? Adira was a child of the two of the werewolves' biggest enemies, humans and vampires. The pack would never accept her as their Luna, nor would Theodore's already chosen Luna, Shira. Neither will the vampires who will do anything to get Adira back under their roof as a captive, because they knew what she truly was, and it wasn't a dhamper. The tale of the two destined lovers from unlike backgrounds awaits…

Chaque veille de Noël, l'héritier de la famille mafieuse Marco, Adrian Marco, devait suivre la tradition familiale : Tirer au sort pour décider s'il avait le droit de m'épouser. Car moi, Irene Cast, je ne suis pas née dans la mafia. S'il n'a pas tiré le papier portant mon nom, il ne pourrait pas me prendre pour femme. Pendant quatre ans, Adrian a tiré au sort quatre fois. Et pas une seule fois il n'a tiré mon nom. J'ai toujours cru qu'il se disputait avec sa famille à cause de moi, qu'il était prêt à risquer de perdre sa position de Parrain, juste pour me choisir. Chaque fois qu'il échouait, il me serrait si fort et murmurait : « Ce n'est rien. Il y aura toujours l'année prochaine. » Et je l'aimais tellement que cela faisait mal. Assez mal pour que je sois prête à attendre, année après année. Cette année, je me suis dit : S'il ne pouvait toujours pas tirer mon nom au sort... Je changerais secrètement le résultat. Je me suis faufilée à la porte du bureau d'Adrian, et j'ai entendu son frère demander : « Parrain, chaque année, tu tires le nom d'Irene. Pourquoi fais-tu semblant de ne pas l'avoir tiré ? Est-ce parce que tu n'arrives toujours pas à oublier Sera ? » Mais il a simplement répondu d'une voix neutre : « Sera a besoin de moi pour quelque chose d'urgent. Fais comme d'habitude : remplace le nom d'Irene par un papier vierge. » Il est sorti sans se retourner. Au lieu d'échanger, son frère a jeté le papier vierge à la poubelle, a laissé celui avec mon nom sur la table, et s'est dépêché de suivre Adrian. Je suis entrée, ai ramassé le papier vierge dans la poubelle, et ai remplacé celui portant mon nom. Regardant mon nom tomber dans les ordures. Adrian, je ne voulais plus attendre pour t'épouser. Je respectais ton choix.
