The new intern claimed she had clairvoyant sight. With just one look, she could tell exactly where the underground gold deposits were. As the institute’s chief gold prospector, I was deeply embarrassed. Every time I went through hell to locate a vein, she somehow managed to report it to the institute before I could. Even the engineering crew working under me was full of complaints. “What kind of chief prospector is she? Following her means panning in the river one day and digging holes in the mountains the next. We work ourselves half to death and get nothing to show for it!” “Exactly. Look at Jane. She just joined the institute and has already found two major gold mines. The crews working with her have already earned first-class commendations.” While the crew complained about me, I began to suspect that someone among them was leaking information. So the next time I went out to search for gold, I worked alone and finally found a major deposit. But just as I was about to report it to the institute, I discovered that Jane had beaten me to it again. That time, I couldn’t hold back anymore. I openly questioned her and accused her of stealing my work. She fired back, claiming her clairvoyant sight had shown her that I had been secretly pocketing gold from the mine. Even my fiancé stepped forward and testified against me. In the end, I was sent to prison on false charges and died there, never able to clear my name. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my fiancé’s junior apprentice first claimed she had clairvoyant sight.

My fated mate, Sebastian Grant, was the most brilliant healer on the continent. Specializing in treating wolfsbane, he had saved countless of our kind. To everyone else, he was a miracle walking among us. But he had a childhood friend and fellow apprentice, Sabrina Jordan. If Sebastian was famous for curing poison, then Sabrina was infamous for creating it. For years, she studied toxins while he developed antidotes. They worked so closely together that the pack slowly stopped distinguishing danger from jokes. That was until the day she tested a new kind of wolfsbane on me and I almost died. When I woke up, Sebastian was sitting beside my bed, writing a prescription for me. "Christina, don't blame Sabrina. My mentor and I have spoiled her. She knew I'd be able to cure you, so she was just messing around. She never meant to hurt you." He said it so casually, as if I had caught a cold. Not as if my organs had been failing and I had been a breath away from death. Before I could respond, someone burst into the room shouting that Sabrina had poisoned herself. Sebastian stood up and rushed out at once, his steps hurried and almost frantic. He never noticed that my prescription was missing a key herb. Just like that, the antidote that was supposed to save me became a poison that quietly sped up my death. That was when the Moon Goddess spoke inside my mind. [You can only return to the human world if you die at the hands of your fated mate. But are you sure you want this?] I lowered my gaze to the prescription in my hand, the ink still fresh. Sebastian himself had written it. The same hands that saved countless lives had just written the final prescription that would end mine. "I'm sure," I whispered.

The sequel to Rejected Luna. Even though it may be read as a stand-alone, I recommend reading the first book before. * JANE - I believe my suffering is over. Vishal and I are married, and we have a daughter who loves us just as much as we adore her. And we had our friends, so I dared think this was my "Happily Ever After." How wrong I was! He appeared in my nightmares and every other dream I had that night. I saw his image in a mirror. And then came an inauspicious day when he invaded our celebration. He forced me to choose between going with him or witnessing my loved ones perish. RICHARD - Villains aren't born. They are created. Just like my messed-up upbringing and constant rejection from the only lady I'll ever love. Years ago, I rejected her, but now I'm back for her. I'm completely enamored with her, yet all she felt for me was disdain. It was forgivable; I could overlook her bratty attitude until her dumb second-chance partner left me to die. Now I'm back to exact my vengeance. Jane is mine, and if this reality doesn't allow us to be together, I have to take her to a realm where the two of us can still be together. *********************************** When Richard Brown arrives with an unstoppable army of wild wolves, he separates Jane from her family. But she wouldn't be his, at least not in this reality. As a result, he had to take her to a parallel dimension where they had yet to meet. In a world where he was the fearsome Alpha CEO, and she was the secretary by day and a stripper at night.
