**Whispers in the Shadows**

The wind roared through the shadowy woods, brushing against Lyra’s tattered cloak like frigid fingers. Her feet, battered and bleeding, scarcely made a sound as she limped through the trees. Night had settled in hours before, yet she hadn’t paused her movement. Not since the sorceress’s warning in the deserted clearing. Not since the fire in her heart rekindled with newfound determination.

She was no longer fleeing.

She was seeking.

Her wolf, frail yet vigilant, stirred restlessly within her. Whispers danced on the breeze—ancient, eerie, calling her name. Whether they were a figment of her weary mind or something more, she couldn’t tell. But something—someone—was beckoning her further into the forest.

Branches clawed at her arms. The smell of damp earth and far-off wolves enveloped her senses. She halted by a fallen log, her breath misting in the chilly air.

Then she noticed it.

A faint luminescence in the distance. Blue, gentle, pulsing—like moonlight exhal

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    CHAPTER 1

    The Alpha’s BetrayalThe Bloodmoon Pack’s ceremonial gathering was supposed to be the happiest night of Lyra Everwood’s life.The grand hall, built from dark oak and ancient stone, was alive with energy. Golden chandeliers hung from the high ceilings, their flickering flames casting warm light over the crowd. The scent of roasted meat and sweet honeywine filled the air as pack members whispered and laughed, their excitement crackling like an electric current.Tonight was the Mating Ceremony—a sacred event where the Moon Goddess revealed fated mates. It was the night dreams came true, where wolves found their other halves, their soul bonds.For years, Lyra had imagined this moment. She wasn’t an Alpha’s daughter, nor a warrior, but she had hoped. She had prayed that she would find the one who would love her unconditionally.And then—she felt it.A shiver raced down her spine. A heat curled in her stomach, spreading like wildfire through her veins.Her wolf stirred.Her head snapped up,

    THE LAND PROHIBITED Lyra staggered forward, her bare feet sinking into the wet ground as the screaming wind nipped at her flesh. She had struck the ground hard after being thrown out by the Bloodmoon Pack's guards, scraping her hands on the rocky rocks near the edge. And she was here now. at the Forbidden Lands' boundary. This place was never visited. Even the most courageous wolves dared not go there since it was a realm of myths and nightmares. Dark and ancient, the forest towered over her, its gnarled trees reaching out like skeleton fingers into the sky. There was a spooky silence as a dense fog twisted across the bush. No birds. No leaves rustling. Just a strange silence. The terrain itself seemed to be keeping watch. Shivering, Lyra put her arms around herself. She still felt the sting of rejection in her chest, a sharp pain that would not go away. She saw Damien's face each time she closed her eyes. his expression's hardness. How he'd turned away without thinking. He had dism

    The Truth About Lyra’s BloodlineLyra awoke to the scent of herbs and burning incense.Her body ached, her limbs heavy, but the pain in her chest—the agony of rejection—was duller now, almost distant.She blinked against the dim candlelight, her vision adjusting to the unfamiliar surroundings. She was lying on a soft bed, covered in fur blankets. The air was warm, carrying the faint crackle of a nearby fire.Slowly, she turned her head.She was inside an underground chamber.The stone walls were lined with shelves filled with ancient scrolls and glass vials of glowing liquid. Intricate carvings decorated the ceiling, forming strange symbols she didn’t recognize.And sitting beside her, watching her with piercing silver eyes, was the woman from before.Elder Raine."You’re awake," she said softly, her voice filled with wisdom and something else—expectation.Lyra tried to sit up, but her body protested."Where am I?" she rasped, her throat dry."You are safe," Raine reassured her, pouri

    Damien’s RegretDamien couldn’t sleep.It had been three days since the mating ceremony, and yet his mind refused to rest.The moment he had spoken those fateful words—"I reject you."—something inside him had fractured.His wolf, once strong and unshakable, was now restless, pacing within him, howling in distress. It clawed at his mind, demanding to be set free, but he refused to acknowledge the ache buried deep in his chest.It didn’t make sense.Lyra was nothing—a weak, unwanted she-wolf with a cursed mark. His rejection should have freed him. It should have strengthened him.Instead, he felt like he was dying.He slammed his fist against his desk, sending papers flying. The grand study of the Bloodmoon Pack’s packhouse was empty, save for him and the suffocating silence.A knock on the door broke through his thoughts."Come in," he growled.The heavy wooden doors creaked open, revealing Serena, his beta and closest advisor. She hesitated before stepping forward, her expression trou

    The Awakening PowerThe moon illuminated the sky as Lyra found herself solitary in the clearing, the cold air pressing against her. Her breaths came rapidly and shallowly, each exhale visible in the frigid night. A fresh wave of strength coursed through her, a sensation she struggled to describe. It felt as if every part of her was coming alive, as though her true self had been asleep for ages and was now finally awakening.Elder Raine had spent weeks training her, pushing her to exceed her boundaries, helping her tap into the hidden power that surged within her lineage. She soon realized that the Moonblood Clan's abilities were connected not just to the tangible world but also to the spiritual one. The relationship with the land, the surrounding animals, and the moon itself—everything contained a force that Lyra could feel beneath her feet, vibrating through the ground.The feeling was both intimidating and exhilarating. However, tonight had a unique aura. Lyra detected the atmospher

    THE RETURN LUNAThe Bloodmoon Pack Under SiegeThe Bloodmoon Pack was in ruins.Fires raged through the village, and the scent of blood tainted the air. The once-mighty warriors of Bloodmoon fought desperately against an overwhelming force—Alpha Rowan’s rogue army.Damien stood at the center of the battlefield, his clothes torn, his body covered in wounds, but his eyes burned with unyielding determination.He had made a grave mistake.Rejecting Lyra, believing she was a curse, had been the greatest error of his life.Now, his people were dying.And he had no way to stop it.A massive rogue lunged at him, claws extended, but Damien twisted at the last second, driving his blade deep into the wolf’s side. The enemy howled in agony before collapsing.Damien barely had time to catch his breath before another one came.He foughtAnd fought.But he was losing.His warriors were outnumbered.For every rogue they took down, two more replaced them.And then, a bone-chilling laugh echoed through

    The Moon’s AwakeningLyra stood at the edge of the Bloodmoon Pack’s training grounds, her heart pounding as she stared at the energy crackling around her fingertips. Ever since her exile, she had learned to suppress her emotions, to bury the pain deep enough that no one could use it against her. But now… now something inside her had changed.The power within her was growing.For the past few nights, she had felt a strange pull—like the moon itself was whispering secrets only she could hear. Her instincts told her that something was about to happen, something that would change her fate forever.She exhaled sharply and clenched her fists, trying to steady her breathing.Behind her, Damien watched her closely.The Alpha had barely spoken to her since she returned, but she could feel his presence like a shadow lingering in the distance.

    Betrayal & Rejection Pain. Searing, bone-deep pain.Lyra gasped as her body hit the cold marble floor of the Alpha’s hall. The impact sent a sharp jolt through her ribs, but the ache in her chest was far worse—the unbearable agony of a breaking mate bond.It felt as if something inside her was being ripped apart, thread by agonizing thread. Her wolf howled in distress, clawing at the walls of her mind, but there was no stopping it. The bond was severing. The connection that had once tethered her to Kade, her mate, her Alpha—her everything—was unraveling before her very eyes.She lifted her head, her vision blurring from unshed tears, but the sight before her sent another wave of devastation crashing through her.Kade.The man she had loved since the moment the Moon Goddess bound them together stood rigid before the gathered pack, his powerful frame tense, his expression carved from stone.

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 13

    Whispers of the PastThe rogue sanctuary was different from what Lyra had envisioned.Located deep in a secluded valley, surrounded by towering evergreens and ancient stones, the camp radiated a quiet strength. Tents and wooden structures adorned the clearing, with smoke curling up from small campfires, and wary, judging eyes watched her every movement.Riven had assured her that the place was safe.But Lyra quickly understood that safety was a relative concept.As she walked alongside him through the camp's core, some wolves turned away. Others observed her with silent scrutiny. None offered a smile.“She’s with me,” Riven had declared earlier. No one challenged him, yet they showed no signs of welcoming her, either.“She seems too pristine,” a woman whispered beneath her breath. “Too proud.”“She’ll crumble like the rest,” a man scoffed.Lyra caught every comment. She held her head high, though her heart felt heavy. This sanctuary was her only hope—and already, she felt like prey, b

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 11

    The Stranger in the ShadowsLyra glided through the forest like a wraith, her body battered and her spirit hanging by a thread. The chill pierced her exposed skin, but it couldn’t compete with the turmoil raging within her. Anger. Heartbreak. Betrayal. They all vied for attention in her heart.Survival was all that mattered now.As dawn approached, her limbs barely followed her commands. Her energy dwindled, and the dull ache of the severed bond continued to throb like a raw wound. She crumpled beneath a twisted oak tree, the rustling leaves overhead murmuring in the morning breeze. Her eyelids fluttered shut, weariness consuming her—Crack.Her senses jolted back to life.A footstep. Not far away.She scrambled upright, her back pressed against the tree. Her vision blurred from fatigue and pain, but she forced herself to stay alert.Another step.She was not alone.Then, from the underbrush, a tall figure emerged.Male. Broad-shouldered. Hooded.Lyra’s fists instinctively tightened,

    The Chase BeginsThe forest felt colder than Lyra remembered.Moonlight filtered through the twisted branches, casting sharp shadows on the ground like claws. The trees loomed tall and menacing, their bare limbs stretching skyward. Her breath misted in the icy air as she pressed on, the weight of rejection pressing down upon her heart like a heavy iron shackle.Each step was agonizing. Her feet throbbed and bled, her body trembled with fatigue. The pain of the severed mate bond persisted—it pulsed beneath her skin like poison, clouding her thoughts and unraveling her determination to fight.Yet she had to keep going.She had to survive.A sound echoed behind her.Snap.Her breath caught.She was not alone.She turned, scanning the shadows, her heart racing. The wind shifted, bringing the sharp scent of wolf musk and blood. Her wolf stirred within, growling softly and alerting her that danger was approaching.They were hunting her.She bolted away.Branches whipped at her face as she f

    HuntedThe forest stretched before Lyra like a dark abyss, its towering trees whispering secrets into the night. Cold air slashed against her skin as she staggered forward, her breath coming in ragged gasps.Every step sent a fresh wave of agony through her body. The mate bond had been shattered, leaving behind an unbearable hollowness. Her wolf whimpered inside her, the pain so intense that shifting felt impossible.Keep moving.She had to run.She had no idea where she was going—all she knew was that she couldn’t stop.Behind her, the Bloodfang Pack's gates loomed, shut tight. The place she had once called home was now nothing more than a memory, an illusion of safety that had been ripped from her.Betrayed. Rejected. Hunted.Her stomach twisted.She didn’t even have time to grieve what she had lost.Because she wasn’t alone.The wind shifted, carrying the scent of danger.A growl. Low. Menacing.Her breath hitched as she turned her head sharply.From the shadows of the trees, a pair
