Chapter 2

Lily and I met during a pack run organized by the hiking club. At the time, I was the newly appointed Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, and my days were consumed by responsibilities—securing our borders, mediating disputes, and ensuring the safety of my wolves. The weekends, though, were my escape, a chance to breathe, to feel the wind against my skin as I ran through the forests in my human form.

Lily joined the club in my second year of leading the pack. At first, she was just another face in the crowd, a quiet presence among the wolves who gathered to run the trails. But she had a steadiness about her, a calm that drew me in. We often found ourselves at the front of the pack, the first to reach the summit, and over time, we grew closer.

She was a Gamma from a neighboring pack, a position that demanded discipline and loyalty. I admired that about her. I worked tirelessly to maintain the strength and unity of the Silver Moon Pack, while Lily balanced her duties with a quiet determination that I found grounding.

When we reached our hundredth peak together, I knew it was time to make my feelings clear. I wasn’t one for grand gestures or poetic declarations—those were for Lycan princes and their elaborate courtships. My confession was simple, straightforward: "Lily, let’s start dating."

She agreed. Her father had been a Beta, known for his charm and flair, but his pursuit of power had left scars on their family. Lily valued reliability above all else, and I prided myself on being someone she could trust. I was never late for a date. My gifts were predictable but always thoughtful. If it rained, I wouldn’t offer to pick her up without prompting, but as soon as she called, I was there without hesitation.

In our third year of dating, we marked each other as mates. The ceremony was private, just the two of us and the Moon Goddess as witness. I remember the words we spoke, the vows that bound us together: "I, Keanu, Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, mark you, Lily, as my mate, my Luna, my partner in all things." Her voice had been steady, her eyes filled with a quiet resolve as she repeated the vow back to me.

Life before and after the marking was much the same. We settled into a rhythm, a calm that felt like home. I cooked, she did the dishes. She shopped for groceries, and I’d come home early to start the bread maker. It was a life of quiet contentment, and I believed it would last forever.

Until that day, three years ago, at the marking ceremony of my old college friend. During the celebration, Trey, my younger brother and a Delta in the pack, got drunk. He grabbed my hand, tears streaming down his face.

"Keanu, seeing you live like this, it pains me," he slurred. "I’m about to mark my mate, embracing the joy of it, yet seeing you in this state, it just upsets me."

He leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper. "If Cassidy hadn’t gone overseas as a war correspondent back then, you wouldn’t have shut yourself off, become so distant."

I glanced at Lily, who stood nearby, her expression unreadable. "Don’t pay him any mind; he’s just drunk," I assured her.

She smiled, but it didn’t reach her eyes. Once we were home, she spoke, her voice calm but firm. "Keanu, I may have many shortcomings, but one strength is my ability to sever emotional ties quickly."

I stood in the shadow of the room, my wolf stirring uneasily in the back of my mind. I couldn’t see her expression clearly, but I felt the weight of her words. After that, Cassidy vanished completely from our lives—mine and Lily’s. Until now.

For a thousand years, the city of Crescent Falls has survived beneath the shadow of an ancient savior. Each century, a man is chosen as an offering to Sariyah-the being said to have once driven demons from the world. When Bastion, the man Ember loves, is taken after daring to refuse her, Ember's grief turns into defiance, and she vows to bring him home no matter the cost. Her search forces her into an uneasy alliance with Orion St. James, a dangerously charming immortal with a violent past and secrets tied to Sariyah herself. Bound together by a magic neither of them wants nor understands, Ember and Orion are drawn into a hidden war beneath the city-one involving cultists, monsters, and an ancient order known as the Watchers. As Crescent Falls begins to fracture, Ember experiences unsettling visions that hint her bloodline is far more entangled with Sariyah than anyone ever suspected. Strange new powers awaken within her, blurring the line between protector and destroyer, while enemies gather and old loyalties are tested. With the city on the brink of collapse and unseen forces moving in the shadows, Ember must decide how far she is willing to go to save Bastion-and whether becoming something darker is the only way to stop an evil that has ruled unchallenged for centuries. Because some thrones are not inherited. They are taken.

Bound By The Cruel Billionaire's Deal

9.1

With only fifteen days of cash flow left to save her tech startup, Aida had no choice but to seek a five-million-dollar bridge loan from Brendan Walls, a ruthless billionaire predator. He agreed to sign the check, but on one sickening condition. He demanded Aida act as bait to get close to his corporate rival, Grayson Lott, treating her like a high-end call girl for a business transaction. Forced to comply to save her employees, Aida let Grayson take her to a windowless underground club, where he secretly spiked her whiskey. As the drugs paralyzed her body, triggering horrific flashbacks of a brutal assault from six years ago, Aida locked herself in the bathroom. She had to shatter a mirror and slice her own thigh open with a jagged shard of glass just to stay conscious enough to call Brendan for help. Brendan's armored SUV immediately smashed through the club's wall to save her, and Grayson was arrested. But lying in the hospital, the horrifying truth finally clicked in Aida's mind. The rescue was too fast. Brendan’s men hadn't rushed from Midtown; they had been parked outside the entire time. He had watched Grayson drug her and waited for the felony to happen just so he could legally seize Grayson's company. He had gambled her life and trauma for a hostile takeover. When Brendan casually tossed a signed contract and luxury car keys onto her hospital bed as hush money, the last thread of Aida's sanity snapped. "The deal is dead. NovaTech is mine. If you ever come near me again, I will kill you." Bleeding and shaking with icy rage, Aida threw the keys at his chest, formally declaring war on the monster who thought he could buy her soul.

Just A Placeholder: Dying For His Mistress

I stood on the tarmac clutching white magnolias, watching the man I loved hand his loyalty to the woman born to destroy me. Dante Cavallaro, the Ruthless Underboss, didn't just leave me for Sofia Moretti. He revealed that for two years, I wasn't his lover. I was a human shield. The heavy iron bangle he forced me to wear wasn't a gift for my protection. "It's a Malocchio anchor," he sneered as I lay paralyzed on the floor. "It drains the wearer's luck to keep Sofia healthy. You are just the filter." My body began to rot from the inside out, my nerves dying one by one. When I was finally on my deathbed, unable to move or speak, Dante didn't cry for me. He cried because his tool was broken. He forced the cursed bangle onto his own wrist, begging the universe to keep me alive so I could continue to suffer in Sofia's place. "Please," he sobbed into my sheets. "Don't leave me alone with the bad luck." I used my last breath to make a wish—not for him, but for my freedom. I closed my eyes and died. Exactly one hour later, Dante's phone rang. It was his father. "Sofia just collapsed," he said. "Her heart just stopped." I was the vessel. And now that I was gone, the poison had come home to the King.
