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: Twenty: The wrong side of bedI paced the length of my office, my boots stomping loudly all over the floors with every angry step. I was perpetually enraged and every part of me showed it. Rage simmered in my chest, threatening to bubble out at the slightest provocation and the world as it was, had earned my ire. I hated the cool breeze in the air. I hated the clear skies. I even hated the warmth from the sun that spilled into the windows of my study as I continued to pace. Everything and everyone seemed to be happy but me, and I wanted badly to change that. It had been like this for a week now, this constant, boiling rage at the pit of my stomach. I was short-tempered, irritable and an outright pain to be around. The servants had learned to steer clear of me, their footsteps retreating hastily the moment I appeared. I couldn’t blame them for their wariness. The only person I could blame for this was my infuriating mate. I could still see her storming over to me with righteous fury in those big blue eyes. She wa

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

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 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: Nineteen: The WitchGraeme’s POV“Alpha, are you sure this is a good idea? I still have my guys trying to get us some information on the Vampire boy. We don’t need to see her.” Duke said with a worried glance over at me. We were in the back seat of my lexus, heading steadily to the cottage at the outskirts of my territory. Witches were a solitary lot, with each one fiercely protecting their territory. Ramona was the only with for miles around and it was she my wolves went to with problems that couldn’t be solved by physical means. I shook my head at Duke, a bit touched at his concern. I knew why he was worried, Ramona and I had a rather unpleasant history, but it was nothing I couldn’t ignore for the good of my pack. “Yes, I’m sure. We can’t wait until your spies bring word from the Vampire court. And… we have no other choice.” The option of talking to Delia about Zachary hung in the air, but it wasn’t one I cared to visit. Thinking about them together already made my blood boil. I didn’t need to hear

Chapter: Eighteen: The heart breakDelia’s POVI panted heavily, my eyes on the strawman before me. My fists were held up against the sides of my face, my arms aching from countless jabs thrown. I had been doing this for hours now, trying to increase my overall strength and stamina. It was hard gruelling work, but it kept my mind occupied and strengthened my body so I embraced it with all eagerness. Marcus trained beside me with another strawman he’d built to replace the one he’d given up. We worked quietly for hours, my rudimentary form laughable beside the complex, awe-inspiring combos he executed right next to me. He kept saying how eager he was to finally spar fully with me, but with the level he was at, it would take me years to even stand such intensity so I wasn’t as expectant. I just did whatever he told me and tried not to complain. I was here for several hours a day. He would have me run a few laps and then I would face off with my strawman, trying to increase the strength of my blows. “It’s not so much ab

Chapter: Seventeen: New PerspectiveGraeme’s POVI ducked to avoid the incoming blow from my opponent, grabbing his extended arm with one hand and jamming my elbow straight into his solar plexus. I didn’t have time to gloat over him crumbling to the ground. Another one was already swinging behind me and I dodged quickly before using his momentum to throw him overhead. On and on the assault came. I blocked, punched, flung, dodged and maneuvered until all five of my attackers were incapacitated on the floor, panting and groaning as if I’d eviscerated them as opposed to just throwing a few hits. “Is that really all you got guys?” I asked my Squad team A; a group of highly trained Gammas who made up my personal detail. We were having one of our training sessions and usually I was satisfied with their performance and our workout. After my humiliating fight with Zachary Ammon however, I could no longer be pleased or patient with their efforts. They were too slow. Too clunky. Too predictable. Just like I had been while faci

Chapter: Sixteen: The man in the forestDelia’s POVThe days passed a little more differently than I was used to. Wilburn Pack was nothing like the hostile, resentfully tolerant place I’d found myself in before. All of a sudden, wolves smiled at me when I passed and said hello, their former suspicion replaced with warmth and welcome. It was so very odd and I didn’t know what to do with it. Annalise meanwhile, was ecstatic about the knew development. “I knew you could do it. Once they got to know the real you, they had no choice but to love you like I do.” She’d said excitedly, and while I couldn’t exactly share her excitement, I was grateful for the reprieve their new attitudes towards me brought. Oh, I wouldn’t say I felt at home yet, but they sure as hell tried to make sure I did. People greeted me the moment I walked out the doors of my room. Children ran to hug me whenever they passed by with their parents. Several girls hung around Annalise and I, sharing random pack gossip and including me in all the gisting like

Chapter: Fifteen: DilemmasGraeme’s POVThe office was quiet, save for the steady ticking of the clock on the wall, a stark contrast to my turbulent mind. My desk was buried under a sea of papers, reports, and half-finished correspondence—proof of my avoidance rather than productivity. I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling while my thoughts spiraled as they often did these days. Several days had passed since my encounter with that bloody Vampire. Zachary fucking Ammon. While we'd been evenly matched on our first encounter, he'd wiped the floor with me the second time around and I was ashamed to admit that it terrified me. He must have gotten some sort of power boost this time. One I couldn’t quite name but could testify to its effects. That was very worrisome. I needed to formulate a plan to handle him once and for all, but I couldn’t do that without more information. The logical part of me had considered going to the Vampire Queen herself to demand answers but I was weary. I’d barely been able to

Chapter: Fourteen: To Be WantedDelia’s POVIt was peaceful in the darkness. So much so that I really didn’t want to leave. I floated for a while, adrift in nothingness as moments passed without sensation or emotion. For the first time in weeks, I felt like I truly had rest. The rest that eluded me in wakefulness and sleep. I had an abundance of it in unconsciousness that I didn’t want to give up. And I held onto it for as long as I could until the light at the end of the tunnel became too hard to ignore. I came to awareness all of a sudden but didn’t move. I didn’t know where I was, but I was hoping if I kept my eyes closed and remained still, I could slip back into nothingness and finally find the type of rest that was permanent. Unfortunately for me, I had no such luck. “Delia?” A familiar feminine voice called out to me. I didn’t answer, still hoping I could go back to wherever I had just been. “I can hear the change in your breathing you know. I know you’re awake.” There was a smile in Annalise’s voice as sh
