Lucy’s POV
I woke up the next morning, expecting to see an empty bed beside me like always.
But he was still there.
Ryker was still there.
His arm was wrapped around my waist, his face peaceful for once. The second I stirred, he pulled me closer and kissed my forehead. Then another down to my neck… and lower.
“Ryker,” I said, laughing a little. “You're going to get me pregnant again.”
He grinned, not stopping. “Maybe I want to.”
“Let me breathe first,” I said through my laughter.
“Fine, I’ll give you a break,” he said, dragging me back into the sheets.
“Tomorrow.”
And just like that, in his arms, everything felt normal again.

Author’s POV
Time moved on. The battles ended and peace returned.
You'd think our story had ended, but it's only just begun…
Lucy and Ryker's twin daughters were raised in two very different worlds.
Elena, the firstborn, was raised in the palace. With Lucy and Ryker as her parents, she grew up strong, confident, and trained for leadership. Eli became her mentor, teaching her how to fight like a true warrior. She went on missions, stood in battle, and learned to lead a pack, which makes sense as she would one day become the new alpha.
She had a strange birthmark — a half-moon on her lower back. During every full moon, she would have the same dream. A woman standing in moonlight, always repeating:
“Two halves make a whole.”
Elena never told her parents about the dreams. She just assumed they were part of her wolf instincts. She focused on her training, knowing the throne would be hers one day.
On the other hand…
Luna, her twin sister, grew up far away —hidden with the elders. She was never told about her parents or her sister. As far as she knew, the moon had delivered her to the elders on a stormy night.
They raised her to be wise, calm. In tune with ancient magic.
She learned about healing, always reading ancient scrolls, and knew about all rituals. But she never learned how to shift. The elders refused to teach her.
Despite the teachings, Luna always felt something was missing.
She often sat alone, staring at the moon, wondering who she really was and where she'd come from.
Her only friend was Ray—her best friend, Elder Nyra’s son. He kept her company, told her stories, and promised they would one day leave the mountains and explore the real world together.
She had the same half-moon birthmark. And every full moon, the same dream.
Before Nyra passed away, she whispered something to Luna:
“One day, you’ll find the other half. The moon is always watching.”
Luna didn’t understand, but deep down, she longed to find the meaning behind those words.
Now, both girls are growing up.
They don’t know each other.
They don’t know the whole story.
But soon, they will.
One raised to lead.
The other raised to protect.
Their choices will shape the future. And when they finally meet, nothing will ever be the same again. This is a tale of friendship, sisterhood, love, war, and betrayal.
Blurb:
They were never meant to meet.
Born into two very different worlds, Luna and Elena were destined to walk separate paths. But fate has a strange way of twisting the rules a little. A sudden death and royal engagement force their reunion — though neither knows who the other truly is… yet.
Now, as Elena prepares to marry the prince of a cursed kingdom and with Luna standing by her side, secrets start to simmer beneath the surface.
The truth is gradually clawing its way out.
But with Ryker gone and war on the horizon, the question isn't just who they are to each other.
It’s whether they’ll survive long enough to find out.
Expect betrayal. Secrets. And a twisted love triangle that could change everything.
A new story begins...
