:---On her 18th birthday, Amara expected to be claimed. Instead, she was rejected.For years, Amara Night was the pack's joke — a wolf-less orphan who couldn't shift. The only reason she survived was because Alpha Kaden, the most ruthless Alpha in the Northern Territories, was her fated mate. Or so she thought.On the night of her mating ceremony, in front of the entire pack, Kaden rejects her. "A Luna must be powerful. You are nothing."Broken and bleeding, Amara leaves the pack that night. She doesn't know she is already carrying his child.Alone in the human world, her body begins to change. The wolf she never had awakens — but it's not a wolf. It's something ancient. Something terrifying. A golden light erupts from her belly when her baby kicks, and prophetic dreams begin to haunt her.The Moon Goddess hasn't abandoned her. She has a second chance.He is Darius — King of the Obsidian Dragons. The last of his kind, cold, possessive, and cursed to never find a mate. Until he smells her from across continents. A pregnant she-wolf with dragon fire in her veins.He claims her instantly: "You and your child are mine now."But life in the Dragon Kingdom is no safer. His fiancée, Princess Selene, will do anything to destroy Amara and her unborn child. And as Amara's powers grow, a shocking truth is revealed — she is not a weak orphan. She is the last daughter of a powerful sorcerer, blessed with the power of prophecy, and her child is destined to unite wolves and dragons.Now Kaden realizes his mistake. His pack is collapsing without her, and the Moon Goddess shows him what he lost. He will cross worlds to get her back.Torn between the Alpha who rejected her and the Dragon King who would burn the world for her, which fate will Amara choose?He rejected her as worthless. He will kneel to her as Queen.---

She was meant to be his son's mate.On the night she should have been celebrated, she found her mate — the Alpha's son — in bed with her own sister. The mate bond shattered. Her wolf howled for revenge.Her plan is simple and cruel: *Seduce the father to punish the son.*The Alpha father is handsome, powerful, and feared by every pack. Abandoned by his own mate years ago, he has been watching her in silence for far longer than she knows.She wants him to be her weapon. She wants her ex to watch her become his father's woman — his stepmother, his Luna — and to kneel and repent for what he did.But what she doesn't know is that the Alpha is not a man who can be used. And the pull between them is not pretend.Their love will be whispered about, judged, and opposed by family and friends. Will they hold each other tightly against it all? Or will pressure tear them apart, only for them to find they cannot resist the pull when they meet again?

For twenty years, one house held two secrets. One locked in the basement. One living right above her.Luna was not born in darkness. She was born under a Blood Moon, daughter of the pack's most gifted healer. But on the night her parents were slaughtered during a border war, the former Alpha told his pack the healer's entire bloodline had been wiped out.It was a lie.He kept one child. He took a 5-year-old girl down into the fortified basement beneath the Alpha mansion, sealed the steel door, and told the world she never existed. He believed in an old prophecy — that an Omega born under a Blood Moon would one day give him unnatural power if he kept her hidden and bonded to his bloodline. He called her his insurance. His weapon. His secret heir.Upstairs, his own son was growing into the next Alpha.Kieran found the basement door when he was 12 years old. He heard it — soft humming through the vents. A child's lullaby where no child should be.His father grabbed his arm that night and said, "There is a dangerous prisoner down there. If you open that door, you will destroy this pack. You will tell no one. Ever."He was just a boy. Scared of his father, loyal to his pack, he believed the lie. He didn't know what was down there. He thought it was an enemy of the pack.So he kept the secret. For years.He left food. He left books pushed under the door. He listened to her grow up through the walls, but he never had the key. He never dared to disobey.His father ruled with fear until his death. When Kieran was 22, he became Alpha. The house, the land, the pack, and every key — all became his.The first key he used was the rusted one his father wore around his neck.What he found in that basement was not a prisoner.It was a young woman. 23 years old. Pale from years without sun. Long, tangled black hair down to her waist. Eyes that had forgotten what the sky looked like. She flinched at the light. She didn't know how to speak loudly. She had lived in one concrete room with a single small window for 18 years, thinking the world had ended outside.Her name was Luna. She didn't remember her last name.Kieran didn't free her that day. He couldn't — she would have died outside. She was terrified of open air, of voices, of touch. She had severe anemia, trauma, night terrors. So he did what his father never did. He brought healers. A female doctor. He taught her how to stand in sunlight for five minutes. How to read again. How to walk on grass.For two years, he healed her in secret. No one in the pack knew she existed.On the night of her 25th birthday, he finally led her out of that house and into the forest for the first time. Under the full moon, he showed her the sky.That was when the Moon Goddess finally spoke.The scent hit him like a storm. The bond snapped into place so hard it brought him to his knees. Golden eyes. Racing heart. A growl he couldn't control.Mate.His wolf was screaming one word: MINE.She wasn't just the girl his father hid. She wasn't just a tragedy he had to fix.She was his Luna. His fated mate. The one the Moon Goddess had made for him before she was even born.His father didn't hide a prisoner. He hid Kieran's destiny. He tried to steal and control the very mate the Goddess had promised his son, all for power.Now Kieran has to make a choice.Tell the pack the terrible truth — that their revered former Alpha kidnapped an innocent child and kept her in a cellar for 18 years — and risk a civil war?Help Luna uncover who she really is, where she came from, and why her blood is so powerful that an Alpha would ruin his soul to keep it?And most of all… how does he tell a woman who has just learned how to be free, that she is fated to be bound to the son of the monster who stole her life?She thinks he is her savior.He knows he is the son of her captor.And the bond will not let him let her go.TROPES: Fated Mates | Hidden Omega | Alpha's Secret | Touch Her And Die | Found Family | Trauma Healing | Possessive Alpha | He Falls First & Harder | Prophecy | Revenge For Luna
