Redeeming the Broken Dragon

Dear returning readers, I’m happy to ‘see’ you again! Thank you for your continued support! I hope you enjoy Solstace’s story of redemption. It starts exactly where we left him in Book 2, in the Alpha dining room, going over maps and documents. He is preparing for his mission to find Zoltan and bring him to justice! Happy reading! **** Dear new readers, You might have stumbled on this book for several reasons. It is, in fact, Book 3 of the Moondance Pack Series. You may wish to start at this point, and thus, here is a brief overview of the first two books. ***** The Moondance Pack is situated deep in the heart of Northern Ontario. It is a close-knit community of 500 werewolves living in harmony. Tucked away near enough to a charming town yet far enough to maintain their cherished traditions and secrecy, their territory was a vast expanse of dense woodlands, rolling hills, and glistening lakes. This beautiful haven was more than just land; it was a sanctuary they called home. United by mutual respect and a deep connection with nature, each pack member played a vital role in their community, creating a sense of harmony and peace unmatched anywhere else. In Book 1, “The Lost Werewolf’s Mate,” Moondance Pack patrollers discovered an unconscious she-wolf, a mystery that would soon unravel. They brought her to the dungeons for a thorough assessment, quickly realizing she was suffering from amnesia. This enigmatic discovery set the stage for a riveting tale that intertwined destiny, passion, and the mystique of the supernatural world. Alpha Gabriel, the young and charismatic leader of the Moondance Pack, was a figure of authority and allure. At 26, his heart still yearned for his destined mate. The arrival of the mysterious she-wolf captivated him instantly. Her presence sparked a series of transformative events, forever altering the essence of their world. Sensing her importance, Gabriel ensured her transfer to the pack’s hospital, entrusting her care to the skilled Doc Cassandra. In the serene setting of the hospital gardens, the paths of the she-wolf and Gabriel crossed, leading to an unexpected yet tender moment. Their encounter culminated in a fateful kiss. This kiss revealed her identity as Lila and awakened her wolf, Venus. In their first shift, Venus and Zeus, Gabriel’s wolf, recognized each other as mates, unleashing a cascade of Lila’s suppressed memories. A mysterious witch, once manipulated by Victor, the formidable Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, visited the pack seeking redemption. She offered to protect Lila, whom she referred to as the prophesied hybrid. During this visit, Gabriel and the Moondance Pack discover that Lila is indeed the prophesied hybrid. This four-part prophecy spoke of a hybrid born under a Blue Moon from the love of a pureblood werewolf and a powerful vampire. It warned of the dangers faced by those who sought to possess the hybrid for personal gain, foretelling a descent into madness and a loss of grip on reality. The prophecy also revealed that the hybrid would only meet her wolf after finding her true destined mate and that unlocking her prophesied powers required a deep commitment to this mate. As Gabriel and Lila surrendered to their burgeoning love, it lifted a protective cloak from Lila. This brief vulnerability made her visible to foes and friends. The witches acted swiftly, shrouding Lila in a protective magical cloak. Despite their efforts, a persistent group managed to track her down, setting their sights on the Moondance Pack. The Moondance Pack and a faction from the Blood Moon Pack independently petitioned the council of elders to dethrone Victor. Their successful campaign laid the foundation for a future alliance, with William, Victor’s son, poised to assume the Alpha role of the Blood Moon Pack. The plot thickened with the arrival of the enigmatic royal vampire Prince Charles at the Moondance Pack. His presence brought a shocking revelation: Lila was his long-lost half-sister. The Royal vampire King her family, had been searching for her since she vanished six years prior, during a trip to visit an estranged aunt with her mother. Meanwhile, Thomas, the Moondance Pack’s Gamma, wrestled with his emotional chaos upon learning that his destined mate was a witch. His struggle to accept this reality caused friction within the pack, leading Lila to discover her first power of premonition and the foreboding knowledge that war was imminent. An alliance was forged in the face of this looming war, uniting the Moondance Pack with the royal vampires, the Solaris witches, and the reformed Blood Moon Pack. Together, they braced for a confrontation against a formidable, mysterious foe — the potential last dragon. The ensuing battle showcased the strength of their unity and courage, climaxing in a dramatic face-off where William confronted his father, Victor. The Moondance Pack celebrated Lila’s Luna ceremony after the war. This majestic event marked her official acceptance and esteemed role within the pack. The ceremony was a powerful symbol of love, unity, and triumph over adversity and fear. Book 2, “The Witch and the Wolf,” unraveled the intertwined stories of Thomas, Eliza, and Lila’s encounter with the last dragon, Solstace. Thomas returned from helping rebuild the Blood Moon Pack, left in shambles after rogue attacks. His return to the Moondance Pack was bittersweet, marked by a celebratory and tense party, with a shadowy figure hinting at the upcoming chaos. A shocking revelation overshadowed Thomas’s homecoming: he’d been under a voodoo spell cast by Cassidy, his on-and-off girlfriend. This spell likely stopped him from accepting Eliza, his destined mate, the White Witch, leaving her heart torn. Meanwhile, Lila, now a respected Luna, grappled with mastering her growing powers. She accidentally injured Alpha William of the Blood Moon Pack during a training activity. This mishap led William to the hospital, where destiny played its hand, revealing Doc Cassandra as his mate. Over in the shadows, the last dragon, Solstace, hatched his dark plans. He visited Jacob, an elder, reasserting his sinister intentions to snatch Lila. Not trusting Jacob enough, Solstace devised a plot to kidnap Lila during a Luna conference in Toronto. Before Lila left for the conference, she and Gabriel, her Alpha and mate, argued about his lack of action against Cassidy. Taking some time to herself left Lila exposed and alone in a Toronto Park, where Solstace captured her. While holding Lila captive, Solstace learned that Lila was pregnant, throwing a wrench in his wicked breeding plans. Solstace and Lila didn’t know that the Moondance Pack and their allies were already on a rescue mission. Their perfectly executed plan saved Lila, showing the pack’s strength and unity. Back at the Moondance Pack, tensions simmered between Eliza and Thomas. Forced to work together, they had two tasks: find Cassidy and bring her to justice and rescue Lila from her kidnapper. But there was a hitch — Eliza’s powers were fading because she wouldn’t accept Thomas. The situation led to a startling truth: Eliza and Thomas were true loves, and Eliza’s magical powers depended on their acceptance of each other. Once Lila was safe and sound at home, the pack and their allies geared up for war. Thomas, acting solo, ran into rogues near the pack’s borders. This dangerous encounter almost cost him his life, and the only way to save him was through a magical bond with Eliza. While the battle was in Moondance Pack’s favor initially, the tables turned on them with Solstace’s arrival on the battlefield. What followed was a fierce battle, showcasing the combined might of the pack and their allies. Amidst the chaos, one of Solstace’s minions dragged Lila onto the battlefield, sparking a heated showdown between her and the dragon. Lila’s bravery and words made Solstace see his mistakes, leading to his defeat and a crushed spirit. After the dust settled, Lila, back on her feet, joined the council of allies for Solstace’s trial. In an unexpected turn, Solstace sought redemption, remorseful for his deeds. The council decided to use his repentance in their hunt for Zoltan, the puppet master behind the turmoil engulfing their world.
