For Blood Or Beast
Delia Mathers has the perfect life; loving parents, a beautiful relationship with her boyfriend Zack, supportive friends— up until one fateful night when an unfortunate attack unravels the world as she knows it and chaos unleashes in her life.
Suddenly, she discovers everything is not as she thought it was; she’s a werewolf, her boyfriend is a 400yr old vampire, her human parents adopted her after her wolf pack was destroyed in a past conflict and she has to leave the only life she's ever known to go along with the Alpha of the new pack she must now belong to as a newly burgeoning wolf.
Graeme Buchanan, Alpha of Rosewood pack, has way too much on his hands to deal with a newly turned mutt like Delia. Yet as Alpha of the largest pack in Sterling city, it's his duty to make sure she is integrated seamlessly with the rest of the other wolves, especially since she hasn't lived with her kind before. The events surrounding her change are suspicious, but he can't just put his finger on why. The last thing he needs is the pesky little mate call that springs between them once Delia undergoes her first shift. He can't take Delia as his mate; she's too young, knows next to nothing about being a wolf, much less a Luna. To make everything worse, she’s a mutt that will weaken his pureblood line, there’s no way anything between them can ever work. He isn’t willing to let her go though, no matter how hard her obsessive Vampire boyfriend tries to hold on.
It takes a while for either to realize just how deep the dangerous waters lie. Can they overcome both friends and foe in this dangerous dance between the blood and beast?

Chapter: Seven: The investigationGraeme’s POVThe steady ticking of the clock grated on my nerves. It was the only sound in my office, save for the occasional rustle of paper when I pretended to read the reports in front of me. My focus was shot, my thoughts dominated by Delia. The image of her standing in front of me—hurt, confused, and yet impossibly fierce—refused to leave my mind. Rejecting her had felt like driving a blade into my own chest, and every passing second since had twisted it deeper. A sharp knock on the door pulled me from my spiraling thoughts.“Come in,” I called, clearing my throat and straightening in my chair. Duke stepped inside, his massive frame filling the doorway. He looked grim, his expression tighter than usual, and I knew whatever he had to say wasn’t good.“Alpha,” he said, shutting the door behind him. He held a folder in his hands, which he placed carefully on my desk before taking a seat across from me.“Any luck with the scouting?” I asked, my voice low.He nodded. “We met with the

Chapter: Six: Alpha OswaldCara’s POV“Sit.” Alpha Oswald gruffed gesturing to one of the visitor's chairs opposite his desk.After only a brief hesitation, I stepped forward and slid myself into the seat.He said nothing for a moment, eyeing me steadily. I was uncomfortable for a moment, and tried to avoid his gaze. When he didn’t let up his silent staring, a small wave of anger started to build up inside me and I found myself glaring back into his eyes.A small sound that suspiciously resembled a growl suddenly arose and until his eyes widened slightly, I didn't know it was from me.“Hm. Your wolf’s got a lot of bite for a mutt.” He said sounding slightly impressed. I didn't really understand what he was talking about, but it sounded like a compliment so I mumbled a thanks even though it came out a bit more hostile than I intended.Eyes trained on me, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a pouch, drawing a cigar out and placing it between his lips.“I don’t suppose you care for some?” He offered and I sh

Chapter: Five: Wilburn PackChapter 5Delia’s POVI sat quietly in the back seat of the car, numb with shock of the day’s event. My hands were folded tightly in my lap, my nails pressing crescents into my palms. I stared out the window, watching the dark forest blur past, the trees casting long shadows under the pale moonlight. My mind however, was trapped somewhere else—caught in the memory of the happenings around me. I still couldn’t believe it all. My world had been rocked in a matter of minutes at it was all because of him. Graeme.His name shot through me like a lightning bolt, sending shockwaves through me everytime it surfaced in my mind. And I couldn’t help but think about it, no matter how I tried. I could still feel the phantom touch of his lips against mine, a sensation so vivid it made my breath hitch. It had been more than a kiss; it had been an overwhelming flood of emotions, raw and all-consuming. For a moment, it had felt like the world had stopped, like there was nothing but the two of us. I w

Chapter: Four: An Alpha's DilemmaGraeme’s POVThe cool night air whipped past me as I sprinted deep into the forest, the sound of the world fading behind me. My paws pounded against the earth in a steady rhythm, adrenaline surging through my veins, pushing me to run faster. I needed to run. Needed to escape before I found myself doing something I couldn’t afford to do. I left my men—and her—far behind. Despite how badly I wanted to turn back, I didn’t. Panic clawed at my insides, but I forced it down, focusing instead on the forest that enveloped me. The trees blurred by in a rush of shadows and moonlight, but the image of Delia's face wouldn’t leave my mind.She had looked so fragile and bewildered, standing between there staring at me with wide, desire filled eyes. There had been something about her when I met her, something that drew me to her, but never in my wildest dreams had I imagined it could be this. Never had I thought that it was a mate bond that called to me. There was no way that girl could be my mate

Chapter: Three: The rejection Delia's POVI gaped at Graeme, shocked at his revelation. My boyfriend? A Vampire? Come on. That was impossible.“No… you're mistaken, he can't be.” I argued but even then as I took in Zack’s beautiful face twisted with an unholy rage and the red ring around his light blue eyes, and I wasn’t so sure. A moment ago, I didn’t even know werewolves existed and now I was being told my boyfriend of the past year is a freaking vampire. I needed to catch a freaking break. “Come Delia.” Zack ordered and my body seized once more, my desperation to get to him keeping me in frenzy. “Get her away from him. He’s got her under a thrall. Head to the pack. I’ll finish him off and follow behind.” He said self-assuredly and a bone-chilling laugh fell out of Zack’s mouth. “Oh, I'd like to see you try Wolf Boy.” Zack hissed and then they flew into action. One moment they were eyeing each other, several feet apart. The next Zack moved with lightening speed I’d never known he was capable of, swiping at Gr

Chapter: Two: Vampires and werewolves Delia’s POVThe first thing I saw when my eyes opened was my mom’s worried face. I recalled what had happened immediately, fear catching at my throat until I realized I was no longer in the woods; I was back at home, tucked safely into my bedroom. I didn’t understand how I had survived that, but I was grateful. Surprisingly, it didn’t at all hurt when I tried to sit up. I felt good as new, as if I had just woken up from a power nap and I smiled at my mother in relief to show her she didn’t need to worry anymore. She didn’t smile back. “Mom? It’s okay. I’m fine.” I said, looking over my unbroken skin and intact limbs in shock. Maybe it had been a bad dream? Because I remember a large wolf sinking its teeth into me, but here I was, arm as good as new. My mother sighed, her soft brown eyes filling with sadness “No it’s not Delia. I’m so sorry. I did everything I could to keep you with us. Remember that okay?”She said tearfully and I got a little confused. “What? I don’t understand.”

The Golden Luna
Cara Wylder is the last female in the prestigious Wylder lineage, a family blessed with a rare and powerful she-wolf known as the Golden Luna. This ancient blessing grants her lineage immense power, as any Alpha bonded to her is destined to rule with unmatched strength. However, Cara’s legacy is threatened by a secret—she cannot shift into her wolf form. As rumors of her wolflessness begin to spread, her father, Alpha Roy Wylder, offers her hand in marriage to Darius Wrent, the powerful Lycan King, in an effort to preserve her reputation and the family's standing.
On their wedding day, Darius, suspicious of her lack of a wolf’s presence, demands that Cara shift in front of the gathered wolves. When she fails to do so, he publicly rejects her, leaving her disgraced and humiliated. As the other powerful Alphas look on, uninterested in a wolfless bride, Darius mockingly asks if any would dare take her hand. To everyone’s surprise, Lucien Valen, a weakened Alpha who lost most of his power after the death of his fated mate, steps forward to claim her.
Lucien, once a contender for Alpha King, has been ridiculed for years, holding onto his title solely due to the loyalty of his people. Ignoring the scorn of the other Alphas, Lucien marries Cara and takes her to his castle. Though she expects a life of shame, Cara soon discovers that Lucien is not cruel, neither is he weak Alpha the others believe him to be. His power remains but is locked under the grief from the loss that haunts him and his inability to enact revenge even after all this years.
As they get closer, unsettling truths about Lucien's past and the mastermind behind the fall of the once legendary Alpha is exposed.

Chapter: Nineteen: The fightLuke looked at me like I had two heads when I approached him that morning. I couldn’t blame him. After all, I had been the one to quit, abruptly declaring that I didn’t need his help. Now here I was, practically groveling to be taken back.“I know I was… rude before,” I admitted, shifting awkwardly on my feet. “But I was… overwhelmed. I shouldn’t have lashed out at you. I’m sorry.”His dark eyes studied me, skeptical and wary. It wasn’t like Luke to hesitate. He was usually all charm and easy confidence, but today he seemed… hesitant. Uncertain, even.“You don’t have to do this,” he said finally. “If you’re only here out of guilt—”“I’m not,” I interrupted firmly. “I’m here because I want to learn. Please, Luke.”He exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck. “Fine. But we’re changing things up. No more laps.”Relief flooded me, and I nodded eagerly. “Anything you think will help.”He led me to a cleared patch of grass, explaining basic combat stances and defensive maneuvers. “The first ru

Chapter: Eighteen: The madness of needLucien’s POVI was trapped all day in a meeting dragged longer than I anticipated, a tedious affair of negotiation and posturing with Alphas who couldn’t see beyond their egos. The invasion of my lands was becoming unbearable and I was determined to do something about it without reverting to war, but the other’s weren’t making it easy. The Alpha whose wolves kept intruding hadn’t even bother to show up, a clear sign that he disdained me and my request. I had promised myself I was done fighting. The last time I’d waged war, I had won my opponent, but had ended up with my mate assassinated and five years later, I was yet to catch the culprit. My elders and packmembers didn’t understand it, but I wasn’t in a hurry to return to that violence, especially now that I had a new mate that someone could target. By the time I returned to the castle, the sun was well on its descent, casting long shadows through the corridors. I had barely stepped inside when I spotted Sean pacing near the grand

Chapter: Seventeen: Strength is hardCara’s POVThe sun was yet to rise when I slipped out of my room. My steps echoed faintly in the silent corridors. The castle was eerily quiet, the usual hum of activity replaced with a stillness that felt almost sacred. For once, eyes didn’t follow me as I passed and I was thankful for it. I wore britches—a decision that had taken more courage than I cared to admit. They weren’t exactly ladylike, but practicality won out over propriety. I needed to move freely, and skirts simply wouldn’t do. If anyone saw me, I’d probably have more rumors trailing me than I already did. Thankfully, the halls remained empty aside from an occassional guard or two. The sparse security had me wondering again about this Pack and how easy it would be to escape. I didn’t dare risk it though. It would be dangerous for a wolfless woman like me to trudge through wolflands. It wouldn’t take long before I was hunted and I would likely find myself in the possession of a far more deplorable Alpha. Maybe when I wa

Chapter: Sixteen: The offerCara’s POVThe morning sunlight filtered through the thin curtains in my room, painting the floor in muted gold. I sat at the edge of the bed, staring down at my hands. They weren’t trembling today, and that felt like an accomplishment— a small victory in a sea of neverending misery. Several days had passed since Emily’s threats and Lucien’s coldness that had nearly broken me. Somehow, I managed to survive. I’d moped for most of the time, but after deep thought, I had finally come to the conclusion that I couldn’t keep waiting for someone to save me—not Lucien, not anyone.If he didn’t want me, there was nothing I could do about it, bond or no. The bond couldn’t force us together after all. It was only powerful if the people it bounded together accepted it. If even one partner rejected it, there was very little the other could do. It didn’t care for the consent of the couple or pretty much anything else. Whether we wanted it or not was irrelevant. It was an ever constant thing that wo

Chapter: Fifteen: Warmth and warningCara's POVThe hallway felt impossibly long as I walked away from Lucien. My hands trembled at my sides, and my heart was still racing from our confrontation. Anger and humiliation burned under my skin, warring with an ache I couldn’t quite place. Hurt, betrayal; both? Why did I even care? He didn’t want me—that much was clear—and yet, his refusal to let me go made no sense. I had begged him for freedom, and he… he had just walked away.The thought made my throat tighten. I needed air. I needed space. I needed to be anywhere but here. My feet carried me down a series of corridors, unfamiliar and winding, as I sought refuge in the sprawling estate. The silence of the castle pressed in on me, broken only by the occasional whisper of wind through the windows. No one bothered me as I passed, all the wolves watching me from the corner of their eyes but not saying a word. I heard feet move, voices whisper, silver clatter from a distance. I moved as if in a trance, propelled by my frustratio

Chapter: Fourteen: Let me goLucien’s POVCara’s eyes widened, disbelief crossing her features at my refusal. I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from saying anything else, aware that I was not exactly of sound mind at the moment. “I don’t understand. What do you mean no?” She asked, her voice sounding incredibly hurt. I gritted my teeth against my rising emotions, her wave of vulnerability stirring something in me. “I mean no Cara. What’s done is done.” “Done? How can it be done when you’re here planning to tie yourself to someone else?”She shrilled a fire lighting behind her gaze.“I’m grateful that you saved me that day. I doubt I would have wanted to be King Darius’ slave. However, I don’t think I want to be bonded to you considering the circumstances. So please, let’s just annul it.” The words sounded reasonable, but they infuriated me which confused and frustrated me all at once, leaving me in a tizzy of emotions. “We can’t. This discussion is over!” I growled, growing inexplicably angry and she blin
