Dark Luna Rising
Erika Regis dreamed of love and belonging, but her world has always been ruled by tragedy and secrets. Forced into a political union with the enigmatic Alpha Diego Di Rocco, she finds herself trapped in a cold, calculated marriage, fighting for acceptance in a pack that sees her as an outsider.
But beneath Diego’s icy exterior lies a fractured soul, and as Erika battles to prove her worth, she begins to uncover dangerous truths about her tragic past, a prophecy that ties her fate to the survival of the Lycans, and the strength she never knew she possessed.
Their mating ceremony is no fairy tale. Diego’s pack is steeped in tradition, secrets, and rivalries, and Erika is thrust into a world where she is both the object of scrutiny and the pawn in a dangerous game. Diego’s domineering mother, Dunia, and his cunning childhood friend, Lucia, conspire to test her every move, while Diego himself remains an enigma—distant yet magnetic, capable of igniting both longing and despair in her heart.
When betrayal cuts deeper than any wound, Erika walks away—not to escape, but to reclaim her own power. Yet destiny has other plans. As enemies close in and war looms on the horizon, Erika must decide if her broken bond with Diego can be mended—or if she’s destined to rise alone.
Gripping, seductive, and fiercely empowering, Dark Luna Rising will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final, heart-pounding page.

Chapter: Chapter 18: Beneath Delicate Lace“An Alpha must always be seen with his Luna. It’s powerful. It’s practical…” Diego’s words echoed in her mind.He cared for his image as Alpha. That was all.Erika stared at her reflection in the mirror, trying to make peace with the hollow ache in her chest. I don’t matter to him as I hoped I would. But I owe him a debt I have to pay.Her resolve hardened. She vowed to do her best as his Luna, to stand beside him with dignity and strength, even if she could never win his heart. And somehow, to her surprise, it pleased her to try.If this is my fate, I will make the best of it. I’ll make him proud, and maybe I’ll learn to be proud of myself too.Astrid had chosen the outfit—a tailored suit in muted pastel pink paired with a white lace blouse that subtly emphasized her figure. The matching skirt hugged her curves without being revealing, giving her an air of understated s

Chapter: Chapter 17: Alpha's CurseThe morning sunlight filtered through the heavy curtains of Diego’s chambers, casting a golden glow over the couch where Erika slept. Diego stood a few paces away, arms crossed, watching the rhythmic rise and fall of her chest.Her face was soft in sleep, the tension that so often gripped her features dissolved in the quiet stillness of the morning. The night robe clung to her as she shifted slightly, one hand resting near her face. A pang struck Diego’s chest, sharp and unexpected.Why does she have to look so innocent, so… breakable?He exhaled quietly, his jaw tightening. She had betrayed him, and yet here she was, defenseless and vulnerable in his chambers—by his own demand. He hated himself for it, for the way it felt like chaining a bird mid-flight. But it was necessary.I can’t lose control again.He turned his gaze away from her, fixing it on the dark wood of his desk. His thoughts swirled ba

Chapter: Chapter 16: The ConsequenceErika paused at the threshold of her chambers, her eyes falling on the delicate night robes draped neatly across her bed. The soft fabric shimmered in the light, a pale, gossamer thing that seemed too fragile for the weight of her current turmoil.As she stepped inside, the faint scent of lavender and chamomile hit her. The bath was ready, steam curling lazily into the air, with petals of red and white roses floating on the surface. She touched the water hesitantly, warmth greeting her fingertips.Her first thought was of Dunia, but then doubt crept in. Could this be Diego’s doing? The thought sent an unexpected shiver down her spine. It was thoughtful, almost tender—but instead of comfort, it only heightened her nerves.What does he want from me tonight?She stripped off her training clothes and sank into the bath, her muscles sighing in relief even as her mind remained restless. She closed her eyes, trying to let the soothing water

Chapter: Chapter 15: Sting of VictoryThe forest path leading back to the pack house blurred before Erika’s eyes, not from exhaustion but from the hot sting of unshed tears. Diego’s cutting words rang in her ears, drowning out the cheerful voices of the pack members trailing behind her.Her chest ached, not from the physical strain of the obstacle course but from the weight of Diego’s furious stare. The exhilaration of her hard-earned victory had been short-lived, stolen by his cryptic anger.“Luna?” Sofia’s soft voice broke through her thoughts. Erika blinked and glanced to her side, where the petite but sharp-eyed pack member had appeared. Sofia’s brow furrowed as she studied Erika’s face. “Are you alright? You seem… off.”Erika hesitated, her instinct to confide warring with the need to keep her private pain hidden. “I’m fine,” she replied, forcing a smile that felt more like a grimace.Sofia tilted her he

Chapter: Chapter 14: Through the Eye of the NeedleErika had gone through a rigorous week of advanced drills with Alessandro, and today, she must pass the final test.She stood at the edge of the training grounds, her breath curling in the crisp air as she surveyed the lush forest before her. The obstacle course lay beyond the tree line and stretched into the wooded hills, its beginning deceptively straightforward— but Alessandro’s briefing made it clear— looks were deceiving.Alessandro stood beside her, his demeanor serious but encouraging. “Remember,” he said, his voice steady, “this isn’t about how fast you complete it. It’s about strategy, endurance, and your ability to think on your feet. The path isn’t straight or obvious. You’ll need to find the markers to guide you.”Erika nodded, her hands curling into fists at her sides. Her body still hummed with soreness from days of grueling training, but she pushed the discomfort aside.

Chapter: Chapter 13: Truth Be ToldErika stood by the vanity in her chamber, toweling her damp hair as golden rays of morning sunlight spilled through the windows. Her muscles ached from the previous day’s training, a satisfying soreness that reminded her of progress. Yet her mind buzzed with thoughts of the lessons ahead with Alessandro.She slid the sleeve off her shoulder, and traced the bruises with her fingers. The dark purple marks made her proud. If only it took longer to heal. Because by tomorrow, it will all be gone.If this is only the beginning, what will advanced lessons bring? she wondered, her lips curving in a small smile. Despite the challenges, she felt a flicker of excitement for what lay ahead.A sharp knock at the door pulled her from her musings. Setting the towel aside, Erika crossed the room and opened the door to find Dunia standing there, her expression unreadable. The older woman’s sharp eyes scanned Erika, noting the casual tunic and trousers she wo
