HIS FORBIDDEN LUNA

Kane Rivers has always lived a life of caution. Orphaned at a young age and raised in the quiet town of Silverwood, she believes she understands the world: people betray, pain follows, and love is a dangerous game. But everything changes the night she encounters a wolf unlike any she has ever seen. Adrian Wolfe is the Alpha of the Silverwood pack, feared by enemies and respected by his own. Dark, commanding, and impossible to resist, he has a secret: Kane is not just any human. She is the Luna his pack has been waiting for, the mate bound to him by fate, and the key to a prophecy that could save, or destroy, their world. Their connection ignites in tension and fire, a dangerous pull neither can resist. But enemies lurk in the shadows, a rogue pack thirsts for revenge, and secrets buried in Kane's past threaten to shatter the fragile bond between them. To survive, Kane must embrace the power within her, trust the Alpha she fears, and face the darkness that is coming for them both. In a world where the line between love and possession is razor thin, Kane will discover that some bonds are inevitable, some hearts are unyielding, and some wolves are forbidden.

Chapters

Chapter 1

The forest had a way of speaking to Kane Rivers, though she had never realized it until that night. The wind whispered through the towering pines, carrying with it a scent both familiar and strange, a fragrance that made her skin tingle with anticipation she could not name. Silverwood had always been quiet, almost painfully so, its small streets lined with aging houses and the occasional bright shop that seemed more like a memory than a place of business.

Kane had thought she knew every corner of her life, every boundary she was meant to stay within, and yet, tonight felt like the first time she had truly stepped into a world she did not belong to, or perhaps a world that had been waiting for her all along.

Her footsteps crunched against the frost-kissed earth, the trees looming above like silent guardians. Kane had ventured out that evening simply to clear her head. The small town had grown suffocating over the years, its narrow routines, whispered gossip, and the ever-present shadow of loss that lingered since her parents died. She had been raised by her aunt, a woman loving but strict, who never questioned Kane's independence but still enforced boundaries. Yet even the safety of the town could not calm the restlessness that had begun to gnaw at her. Something deep inside her wanted to escape, to find a truth she could not yet name.

The moon hung low and full above the forest, a silver disc casting cold light across the branches. Kane paused, letting her eyes sweep over the landscape, and that was when she noticed it-a movement just beyond the clearing, something that did not belong. Her heart stuttered, a flinch that told her instinct had finally caught up to her intuition. A wolf. Or perhaps more than one. She could not be sure. Her mind argued that it was a wild animal, nothing more. Her body, however, screamed caution, a warning she could not ignore.

Before she could decide to retreat, a sound shattered the quiet: a low, guttural growl that reverberated through the trees. Kane froze. The air felt suddenly heavier, pressing against her chest. Then she saw it. A wolf, massive, black as midnight, its eyes glowing like molten gold, emerging from the shadows. Kane's breath caught in her throat. She had seen wolves before, in books, in documentaries, in fleeting glimpses during hikes with her aunt. But this creature was unlike anything she had ever known. There was an intelligence in its gaze, a deliberate purpose that made the hair on the back of her neck stand on end.

The wolf stepped closer, and Kane's instincts screamed at her to run, to flee as fast as her legs would carry her. And yet, she could not move. She was rooted to the spot, a mixture of fear and an inexplicable draw that pulled her forward, or perhaps held her in place. The world around her seemed to slow, every sound amplified, every shadow deepened. Her heartbeat thundered in her ears, and she realized she could feel something strange in the ground beneath her feet, a subtle vibration as though the earth itself was aware of what was happening.

Then the wolf shifted, and before Kane could even process it, it transformed. The creature grew taller, human limbs replacing the paws, the fur receding into skin. The golden eyes remained, piercing and unwavering, but the rest of him was terrifyingly, impossibly human. He stood before her, broad-shouldered, dark hair brushing the nape of his neck, with a presence that made her feel both insignificant and undeniably noticed. His gaze locked onto hers, and Kane felt a pull so intense she stumbled back without realizing it.

"Who... who are you?" she managed, her voice barely more than a whisper, cracking under the weight of awe and fear.

"I am Adrian Wolfe," he said, his voice smooth but commanding, a sound that seemed to vibrate through the very air around her. "And you are Kane Rivers."

Her name on his lips sent a shiver down her spine, as though she had been exposed in a way she had never experienced before. She opened her mouth to respond, but no words came. How did he know her name? How could he possibly?

Adrian's gaze softened, but only slightly. "Do not be afraid. You are exactly where you need to be."

Kane swallowed, trying to steady her racing heart. "I don't understand. Why are you here? Why me?"

"You are not just anyone," he replied, taking a step closer, his presence overwhelming. "You are Luna. The mate my pack has been waiting for. Your blood carries a power that is both rare and vital. You are destined for something far greater than the life you think you know."

Her mind spun. Luna? Mate? Power? The words were absurd, impossible even, yet she could not shake the strange certainty in her bones that what he said was true. Her entire life, the emptiness she had felt, the dreams, the shadows in the forest, now made a sinister kind of sense. She had always sensed she was different, though she had never known why.

Fear clawed at her chest, but beneath it was something else, a spark of something wild and untamed. Something in her recognized him, even if she did not yet know why. She took a tentative step forward, drawn by the same pull that had frozen her in the clearing moments ago.

Adrian's gaze did not waver. "I will guide you. I will protect you. But you must trust me. The world you know is about to change, Kane. Your life, your very destiny, has been set on a path that cannot be undone."

Kane wanted to scream, to demand answers, to run into the safety of the town lights she could now barely see beyond the trees. And yet, she could not. Something deep within her stirred, a voice she had never heard, whispering that she had waited her entire life for this moment, for him.

Suddenly, a rustle from the treeline startled her, and her newfound sense of clarity was replaced with panic. A shadow lunged at them, a figure masked in darkness, and before Kane could react, Adrian moved with inhuman speed. His hands were on the intruder in an instant, and a fierce growl tore from his throat.

Kane watched in shock as his body shifted subtly, his aura radiating raw power. In that instant, she understood the truth of his words. He was dangerous, unstoppable, and yet entirely hers, in a way that made her pulse quicken and her stomach coil in both fear and anticipation.

The intruder fell, retreating into the night, and Adrian turned to her once more. He was breathing heavily, his eyes ablaze with something she could not name. "This world is not safe," he said quietly, almost to himself. "And now that you are part of it, neither are you."

Kane shivered, torn between terror and a magnetic desire to step closer. "I... I don't know if I can do this," she admitted, her voice trembling.

"You can," Adrian said, stepping closer until the space between them felt charged with heat and tension. "Because it is who you are, Kane. And because it is who we are together. The bond is stronger than fear, stronger than danger. You do not have a choice. You never did."

Her breath caught, and Kane realized in that moment that nothing would ever be the same again. She had crossed the threshold into a world of wolves, power, and destiny, and there was no turning back. The pull between them was electric, undeniable, and terrifying. She wanted to resist, to argue, to run, but every instinct in her body screamed that she belonged here, with him, in this moment that would change her life forever.

The night deepened, the forest around them whispering in the language of the wild.

Kane could feel the threads of fate winding tighter around her, the connection between her and Adrian drawing her forward even as danger lurked unseen.

The Alpha of the Silverwood pack stood before her, impossible and commanding, a presence that consumed her every thought. And in the silence that stretched between them, Kane understood that the quiet life she had known was over. She had stepped into a storm, and at its center was a wolf unlike any she had ever known, a wolf who would claim her heart and soul in ways she could never escape.

And as the moon rose high, casting its silver glow over the forest, Kane realized with a mixture of awe, fear, and an undeniable thrill that her life had truly begun.

"What do you think people would say if they found out you don't have a dick?" Christian asked, his voice low and dripping with seduction. His hand pressed firmly against my crotch, fingers exploring the flat, unfamiliar emptiness there. A devilish smirk curved his lips. "Or if they discovered these voluptuous breasts you've been hiding so well?" A strangled moan slipped from my throat as his hand slid under my shirt, his fingers brushing over my hardened nipples, teasing them with slow, deliberate strokes. "Which do you think they'd call you?" he murmured, eyes gleaming. "A boy with tits... or a dickless little fraud?" I stared into his hungry blue eyes, words failing me. "The term you're looking for is 'girl,'" came Xavier's smooth voice from the bathroom doorway. He stepped inside, closing the door behind him with a soft click, his gaze raking over me with open interest. "So tell me, little girl... what the hell is someone like you doing in an all-boys dorm?" Christian's smirk widened. "She wants to be devoured by boys like us." His fingers gave my nipple one last firm pinch before he leaned in closer, breath hot against my ear. "And I'll be more than happy to give her a taste."

I Married My Ex-Fiancé's Dangerous Uncle

I stood at the altar in a fifty-thousand-dollar custom lace gown, waiting to marry the boy I had loved since I was five. But Silas didn't say "I do." He answered a phone call, turned pale, and bolted toward the exit as if the gates of hell had opened, leaving me to face five hundred of New York's most dangerous criminals alone. He left me for a waitress named Lola. The humiliation was suffocating. The elite of the Five Families looked at me with pity, a Genovese princess rejected for trash. When Silas finally returned, he didn't apologize. He showed up with hickeys on his neck, clinging to Lola, and had the audacity to suggest I become his mistress. He even demanded I hand over my dowry—millions in weapons and cash—so he could fund their lifestyle and "redecorate" with her. He thought I was still the innocent girl who would beg for his scraps. He didn't realize that in the moment he ran, a shadow had stepped forward to fill the void. Dante Moretti. The Don. Silas's uncle. The most feared man in the city looked at me with dark, predatory eyes and offered me a choice: be a victim, or be a Queen. "Since you are to marry a Moretti," Dante said, extending his scarred hand, "why not marry the head of the table?" I looked at the door where Silas had disappeared, then at the Reaper standing before me. "I do," I whispered. Silas thought he had ruined my life, but he only cleared the way for me to marry the monster who would burn the world down for me.

I Married My Ex-Fiancé's Ruthless Older Brother

I was a Vitiello, sold to the Morettis to secure an alliance. For five years, I quietly loved Dante, counting down the minutes until our wedding at St. Patrick's Cathedral. But it ended with a single text three minutes before the ceremony. "Stay at the apartment. Sofia is awake. Don't make a scene." His ex-girlfriend, the love of his life, had woken from a coma with no memory. Just like that, I was erased. For thirty days, I waited in the shadows while Dante played hero to a woman who didn't remember him. He told me he was protecting her fragile mind. But then I found the truth. I stood outside the doctor's office and heard Dante refuse a treatment that would restore Sofia's memory. "If she remembers, she might leave again," Dante told the doctor. "Elena will wait. She's a good soldier. Let me have my fantasy." He wasn't protecting her. He was keeping her broken to feed his ego, banking on my submission. He thought I was furniture he could put in storage. He was wrong. I didn't go back to the apartment. Instead, I dialed a number every made man in New York feared. "Matteo," I said to Dante's lethal older brother, the King of the underworld. "I am done waiting. I want to be a Moretti bride. But not Dante's."

I *was* their mother. Or so I thought. That day, I learned my husband, the most powerful Mafia Don on the coast, had used his ex-lover’s frozen eggs. For six years, I wasn't his wife. I was just the incubator. When his "true love," Iliana, returned from exile, my life disintegrated. My children, poisoned by her lies, pushed me down the stairs and called me "just the nanny."

Staged by Iliana, we were both tied up, allegedly rigged to explode. Forced to choose who to save, Gavyn didn't hesitate. He cut Iliana loose. "You did this to yourself, Alex," he said, driving away with the children, leaving me to die. He thought he was leaving behind a corpse. He didn't know I had skimmed ten million dollars from the household accounts. "Cut me loose," I told the hitman, transferring the money. "And tell him the ocean took me." Two years later, the Don is on his knees in my garden, begging for a second chance. Too bad he has to get through my new fiancé first—the head of the rival cartel.

Reborn To Swap Husbands With My Sister

The sensation of falling wasn't like flying; it was heavy, violent, and smelled of burning flesh. Above us, on the crumbling balcony of the Sears manor, Duke Cato Sears turned his back, shielding his cousin Bianca from the smoke as he walked away, leaving my sister Blossom and me to drop into the abyss. As the darkness slammed shut like an iron door, I realized my entire life had been a cruel script written by the people I called family. In my first life, I was the sacrificial lamb of the Dawson manor, sold to a man who eventually watched me die without blinking. My sister Blossom had pushed me into Cato's arms to avoid his rumors, only to laugh when the fire finally consumed us both. My father had measured my value like a piece of livestock, and my step-grandmother didn't even acknowledge my existence while I was being led to the slaughter. I died in that fire, feeling the heat scorch my skin and the weight of a hatred so potent it tasted like bile. I spent twenty years being the weak, manipulated shadow of a girl, only to end up as nothing more than a phantom scorch mark on a "hero's" estate. I couldn't understand why my own blood treated my life like a game they could discard. The injustice of it all burned hotter than the flames that took my last breath. Then, I sat up, sucking in air that tasted of lavender and air conditioning, not smoke. I was back in my bedroom, three days before the engagement ball that ruined my life. Blossom stood at the door, her "sweet" mask slipping as she tried to manipulate me into the Duke's path again. She thought she was the only one who had come back, but she didn't realize that this time, I was going to let her have exactly what she wanted: the Duke, the bankruptcy, and the living hell that awaited her in that house.
