Bella, torn between her fierce independence and her growing reliance on Alex, struggles with the fear that leaning on him will cost her the very freedom she’s fought to keep.

And in the shadows, Miranda VaughnAlex’s calculating ex-fiancéepulls the strings, determined to destroy Bella by exploiting her greatest weakness: her brother. The compass etched with “13,” the faceless stalker, the whispered threats—they are all pieces of a larger game Miranda intends to win, no matter how much blood is spilled. With secrets unraveling, betrayals closing in, and the line between love and obsession blurring, Bella and Alex are thrust into a struggle that is as emotional as it is deadly.

A story of passion, peril, and power, this novel weaves romance into a pulse-racing thriller, where every chapter ends with a cliffhanger, every character hides a secret, and the greatest danger of all may not be the enemies outside but the feelings neither Bella nor Alex can control.

Under the blood moon, fate rewrites destiny. Selene has always felt different—haunted by strange dreams of silver eyes and howls that echo through her soul. When the pull of the blood moon drags her deep into forbidden territory, she stumbles into the heart of the Nightfang Pack…and into the arms of the most dangerous man she has ever met. Alpha Dorian rules with ruthless strength, bound by laws that demand the death of any outsider. But when he looks at Selene, everything shatters. She is his fated mate—the one woman destiny chose for him. Claiming her means defying his pack, his Council, and every tradition that has kept Nightfang safe. Selene’s arrival awakens something far more dangerous than desire. A dormant power stirs in her blood, tied to an ancient lineage thought extinct—the Moon-Blessed, wolves whose gifts could tip the balance of the supernatural world. Now hunted by rival packs and a dark enemy who will stop at nothing to control her, Selene must learn to harness her power or lose everything. As passion binds her to Dorian and betrayal festers within Nightfang’s walls, Selene discovers that love alone will not be enough. To survive, she must embrace the wolf within. To protect her mate, she must become the Luna she was born to be. But fate is never kind, and the blood moon demands its price.
