Unaware of werewolves living among humans, Joanna has no idea that the intense and immediate attraction she feels toward the charming stranger at her fiancé's business meeting is actually a mate bond. Overpowered by the irresistible pull, she gives in to the overwhelming sensation and momentarily forgets about Clyde Mancini, heir to an influential Italian property empire. Feeling ashamed of her low self-esteem, she runs away from the stranger’s bed, only to discover weeks later that she is pregnant from the one-night stand. The Mancini family is thrilled about welcoming their new heir but chooses to overlook the baby's unusual behavior. The enraged Alpha initiates a search party to find his Luna, and when he ultimately finds Joanna, he abducts and forces her to become more involved with his pack and fulfill her duties. Joanna's primary concern is escaping from these unfamiliar beings so she can reunite with her husband, knowing that he is relentlessly searching for her. She anxiously tries to hide her son from the Alpha, the boy being his most powerful leverage to keep her with him. Eventually, the Moon Goddess intervenes, and Abel is convinced he has eliminated Clyde... so he thinks …
View MoreWe stared into each other's eyes for a few timeless seconds.I couldn't believe he was finally here, in front of me again. How many nights had I dreamt of this precious moment? I had thought I’d lost him forever, already resigned myself to the inevitable, to a life without him.But here he was, my Prince, my husband!“Clyde,” I whispered, the name a sigh of pure happiness, a feeling so profound it made my heart ache with longing. My eyes, I was sure, reflected all the love I felt for him, a love that had never wavered. For a fleeting moment, I saw a flicker of doubt in his eyes, those beautiful blue gems I could never get enough of. Holy goodness, how I had missed him, his warmth surrounding me, the sense of security he always offered.I wrapped my arms around the magnificent wolf and buried my face in his thick fur. I took a deep breath, mimicking a gesture I had often seen Clyde do to me, and a soothing sense of calmness swept over me. An incredible sensation of belonging and secur
Joanna’s Point of ViewPuzzled, I stared from one to the other, my head spinning.This sudden turn of events was completely unexpected, I no longer understood anything what’s happening at the moment.“Someone mind telling me what’s going on here?” I demanded.The warrior stopped the vehicle and turned to me. All three of them - Alia, Janice and Rubio - had their eyes on me now, their expressions stern and unyielding.“Princess, you have to tell us now,” Alia said firmly. “Do you want to be the Luna of Woodland, or do you still choose to be with the Crown Prince? I need your answer now to determine which way we go.”A sudden surge of joy welled up inside me, a feeling that seemed to originate from the very depths of my soul. Was it still possible to go to Clyde? The thought filled me with an overwhelming sense of longing. I wanted nothing more!‘Tell her we want to go to the Crown Prince, Joanna. I'm dying here. We really need to leave,’ the voice inside me urged, startling me with it
Alpha Abel’s Point of ViewA rising unease gripped me as I stared at Ludwina.“Ludwina, where is Joanna? Why aren’t you at the Spa with her? What are you doing here?”I grabbed her arm, trying to control the sudden surge of panic. The premonition I’d carried all day was starting to take shape, solidifying into a tangible fear.Had Joanna left? Had she changed her mind at the last minute? And why hadn’t the guard at the gates notified me?A thousand unsettling thoughts raced through my mind.“Calm down, Alpha,” Ludwina soothed, offering a reassuring smile. “Everything is fine. The Luna has gone to the lake with her friends to relax. A warrior is with them, nothing can go wrong. Let her unwind, I’ll send for her as soon as it’s time. This is a picnic basket I'm sending for them. Relax, Alpha.”Relief washed over me, so potent I almost staggered.Damn! My fears almost got the better of me.“I came back because I have a few more things to put in order so that the Luna will be properly pre
Alpha Abel’s Point of ViewToday was my mating and Joanna's Luna ceremony.But throughout the day, a nagging feeling persisted, a sense that something was amiss, as if this idyllic scene could shatter like a fragile balloon at any moment.It was all too perfect, too good to be true.Joanna had been so agreeable lately, the resistance she had shown upon her return had suddenly vanished. She even initiated our touches, our kisses, as if she had fully accepted our mate bond and was ready to spend her life by my side.But something was definitely not right. Even Hex was suspicious.My Head Warrior and the Beta of Moonlight Seekers ran in their wolf forms beside me, we were on border patrol. I wanted to ensure safety myself tonight, nothing could go wrong, not on this momentous occasion. Though I didn't expect the Crown Prince to risk the wrath of the Council by committing any drastic acts on my territory, it still was better to be safe than sorry.We approached the northern border, the ar
Still buzzing from our earlier conversation about the upcoming ceremony, we stepped inside the Spa unit.The cheerful atmosphere, however, quickly dissipated as a heavily made-up middle-aged woman approached us, her presence radiating a distinct chill. Her aura was dominating, her smile failing to reach her thickly lined, cold eyes. She was garishly dressed, her intricate gown trailing along the floor like a scene from a historical drama.“You must be Joanna,” she greeted me, her voice laced with a distinctly hostile undertone. “The woman who Alpha Abel brought to the pack.”She paused, her gaze sweeping over me from head to toe, her lips twitching disdainfully.“I'm Lily,” she continued, her tone dripping with condescension. “Your hostess at this Spa. Let me take a good look at you.”She reached out and grabbed my arm with two fingers, as if she was picking up something dirty.Her touch irritated me, violating my personal space. I wondered where she got the audacity t
Joanna’s Point of View stillRelaxed, I stretched out, a sense of calm I hadn't felt in days settling over me.Last night, I finally experienced a deep and restful sleep that had been out of reach for quite a while. The nightmares and the persistent unease that had haunted me during my waking hours finally faded away. Even the nagging voice inside me, the one that whispered warnings and doubts, was quiet.A smile graced my lips, I felt unburdened, lighter than I had been in weeks.Tonight was the Luna ceremony, the pinnacle of everything that had brought me to this point.But strangely, the usual panic, the suffocating dread that had been my constant companion, was absent. I rose from the bed and walked to the private balcony that overlooked the front of the packhouse. To my surprise, it was buzzing with activity. The driveway was decorated with colorful banners, the main street lined with stalls and booths, and in an open courtyard, a covered tent and a widescreen had
For the rest of the day, Alpha Abel gave me a tour of the pack grounds.The entire group came along, even the Elders, Ludwina, and Sybille. It was like a government delegation we knew in Human Town, a formal procession. The Alpha's mood had improved considerably, the earlier strain replaced by an almost jovial demeanor. I, too, put my best foot forward, striving to appear cheerful and happy, playing the role expected of me. This seemed to work its magic on the group, everyone relaxed, the earlier awkwardness melting away, and the day transformed into a pleasant, almost festive occasion.Many pack members came over to greet me, eager to make my acquaintance.It seemed as if the Alpha had given them advance notice of my arrival, orchestrating this meet-and-greet. They were all curious about me, naturally, but I also sensed a palpable relief emanating from them. I couldn't quite decipher the reason for this but I suspected they were simply looking forward to finally having a Luna, to pr
On the way to Woodland, a growing unease gnawed at me, a cold knot tightening in my stomach.It felt as if I was being led to the slaughter, a sacrificial lamb being prepared for some grand ritual. According to Elena, I should have been ecstatic, thrilled at the prospect of becoming the Luna of a pack as prominent and powerful as Woodland. There were countless she-wolves, she had reminded me, who revered him, who would give anything to be in my place, to bask in the reflected glory of his status.But I just couldn't seem to muster any enthusiasm for my arrival at the pack.On the contrary, every mile we traveled closer to Woodland, the urge to run, to flee as far as my legs could carry me, grew stronger. And to think, I had initially wanted to go to Woodland of my own accord, to see if my feelings for the Alpha could ever match the deep, undeniable love I felt for Clyde.How wrong I had been. How foolish I was to think I could so easily shut my heart off.What was also baffling, addin
It is Sybille!As Head Warrior Kendrick rushed towards the semi-conscious woman sprawled on the floor, Alpha Abel and Beta Cleo slowly rose from their seats. Their auras were hostile, radiating suppressed rage. The woman, Sybille, was in for a rough awakening.‘First you seduced my brother, and now my man! And my mate has rejected me, thanks to your girlfriend! You filthy whore, I will kill you!’ the voice inside me repeated the woman’s statement softly.Surprised, I looked at the three who had approached Sybille.She was once Beta Cleo's mate, but then who was her husband? Three men stood before her, and I tried to discern who she meant. But then the Alpha grabbed her by the neck, his fingers tightening around her throat, and shook her roughly. Her hair, now a bizarre mix of three different colors, fell tangled across her face, and her eyes fluttered open. She was groggy, disoriented, and stared faintly at the Alpha, her gaze unfocused.“You! I don't believe you mean me, you witch,”
New BeginningsGraciously, I descended the stairs beside my fiancé, Clyde, into the grand ballroom of our family’s magnificent mansion.Around fifty family members and business associates had gathered for a cocktail party to celebrate the recent acquisition of Mancini Global Estate. After months of negotiations, the other party eventually yielded to the influence of the Mancini’s and accepted their generous offer.Tomorrow, Clyde and I would be relocating to the headquarters of this acquisition in Latin America, where we planned to live for several years. We were also excited about getting married there. So, all new beginnings.My fiancé had my hand possessively in his as he looked down at our guests.As a skilled businessman, Clyde had spearheaded this successful takeover. I supported him throughout the process as his assistant; yes, my fiancé and I worked together in his office. There had never been any tension or competition between us; our great understanding was the foundation of...
