Jessica has always believed she was just an ordinary girl, that is until tragedy befalls her and she has to go back to the hometown she barely remembers. After years of traveling, she returns to live with family following the sudden loss of her parents. But from the moment she steps foot in Lunar Cove, it’s clear that something isn’t right. The town feels different, shrouded in secrets she can’t quite grasp, that is until she finds out that her father was the former beta of a werewolf pack, one he had to leave after falling in love with her mother who was human. Everything changes when she crosses paths with the enigmatic and powerful Alpha of the Lunar Cove pack, Alpha Christopher, her fated mate. But shock engulfs Jessica because Christopher instead of welcoming her, rejects her outright. A weak, ordinary human could never be Luna, especially not when war looms on the horizon. Yet Jessica soon realizes she is far from ordinary. Strange changes begin to stir within her, unlocking a truth that has been hidden from her all along. Determined to prove herself, she embarks on a dangerous quest to awaken her dormant shifter abilities. But with enemies closing in and time running out, she must decide will she fight for her destiny, even if it means risking everything?
View MoreThe walk back to the house was silent, the kind of silence that felt heavy and suffocating. Ethan stayed close, his presence both comforting and irritating. I didn’t want to talk, didn’t want to think, but the weight of everything that had happened pressed down on me like a storm cloud ready to burst.When we finally reached the house, the front door flew open before we could even step onto the porch. My aunt stood there, her face pale and her eyes wide with worry. She looked like she hadn’t slept in days, and guilt twisted in my gut at the sight of her.“Jessica!” she exclaimed, rushing forward to pull me into a tight hug. “Where have you been? Do you have any idea how worried I’ve been?”I stiffened in her arms, my emotions a tangled mess. Part of me wanted to melt into her embrace, to let her comfort me the way I’ve always craved but never had. But the other part—the part that was still raw and angry—pushed her away.“I’m fine,” I said, my voice flat and cold. “I don’t need a babys
I stepped out of Christopher’s office, the heavy wooden door clicking shut behind me. The hallway felt colder than before, the air sharp and biting against my skin. My uncle was waiting for me, his arms crossed and his face etched with worry. He opened his mouth to say something, but I held up a hand to stop him. “Don’t,” I said, my voice hollow. “Just… don’t.” He hesitated, then nodded, falling into step beside me as I walked down the corridor. My mind was racing, replaying the confrontation over and over. Christopher’s cold detachment, his refusal to reject me, the way he’d looked at me—like I was a problem he couldn’t solve. It didn’t make sense. None of it made sense. “What happened in there?” my uncle asked finally, breaking the silence. I shook my head, not trusting myself to speak. If I opened my mouth, I wasn’t sure what would come out—anger, tears, or something worse. Instead, I kept walking, my boots echoing against the floor. When we reached the front door, I pause
I followed the assistant through the dimly lit corridors of the pack’s main house, my boots echoing against the polished wooden floors. The air was thick with tension, and every step felt heavier than the last. I clenched my fists at my sides, my nails digging into my palms as I tried to steady my breathing.My uncle walked silently beside me, his expression grim. He hadn’t said a word since the summons, but the tension in his jaw and the way his shoulders were stiff told me everything I needed to know. He was worried—no, terrified—about what was about to happen.“You don’t have to do this,” he said finally, his voice low and urgent as we approached the Alpha’s office. “You can still leave. I can arrange for you to go somewhere safe, far away from here.”I stopped in my tracks and turned to face him. “And what? Run away like a coward? Let him win?”My uncle’s eyes softened, but his tone remained firm. “This isn’t about winning or losing, Jessica. This is about survival. Christopher is
The night was heavy with unspoken words and unresolved tension. After the confrontation with my uncle and aunt, I retreated to my room, the weight of Christopher’s rejection pressing down on me like a physical force. The envelope of money he’d given me sat on the edge of my desk, untouched, a silent reminder of his cold dismissal. I couldn’t bring myself to open it. It felt like accepting it would mean admitting defeat, and I wasn’t ready to do that—not yet. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the wall, my mind racing. The bond between us, whatever it was, still lingered, a faint but persistent pull in my chest. It was maddening, this connection that refused to let go, even when he had made it clear he wanted nothing to do with me. I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as I tried to push the feeling away. But it was no use. The bond was there, stubborn and unyielding, like a thread I couldn’t sever. A soft knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts. I didn’t respo
The forest was eerily silent, the kind of silence that pressed against my skin, making my thoughts louder than they should be. Leaves crunched beneath my feet as I walked aimlessly, the cool night air biting at my exposed arms. Everything felt surreal, like I had just stepped out of a nightmare only to realize I was still trapped in it. Christopher’s words echoed in my mind, over and over, like a cruel mantra. “I don’t know what witchcraft she has done, but she’s not my mate and will never be Luna.” I clenched my fists. That bastard. Who did he think he was? One moment, he looked at me like I was the only person in the world, and the next, he tossed me aside like I was nothing. Like I was less than nothing. I pushed forward through the trees, my body moving on instinct, my head too clouded with frustration and confusion to care where I was going. And yet, somehow, my feet carried me back to my uncle’s house—the Beta house. The lights from the windows cast a warm glow against
I stand frozen as the heavy doors slam shut behind Alpha Beck no, Christopher. I refuse to call him by his title. I feel anger bubbling with in me as my cheeks redden realizing what he had just done how dare he embarrass me like that.The murmurs in the room buzz in my ears, but I don’t care. My pulse pounds, my body practically vibrating with anger. Who the hell does he think he is?Without a second thought, I turn and storm after him, my heels clicking against the floor.“Jessica!” Camilla hisses behind me, but I ignore her. I don’t have time for this I’m tired of all the bullshit.The moment I step outside, the cool air stings my skin, but my focus is locked on Christopher’s broad back as he strides toward the tree line. His movements are rigid, controlled—he’s pissed, just like me.“Hey!” I call, but he doesn’t stop.Fury burns hotter in my chest. “I said, hey! You don’t get to storm in, embarrass me in front of everyone, and then walk away like I’m nothing!”That does it.He stop
“Mom and dad are going to kill us” Peter says. As he paces the living room in agitation.“Do you think we broke her?” Camilla asks. “Is she dead? I don’t think she is but she’s unconscious”“I checked the internet and it says she fainted, that's something humans do” Peter responds.Afew seconds pass and I feel water droplets fall on my skin and then slowly but surely consciousness finds me again. I blink up at Camilla who looks completely and utterly relieved that I am alive.“Jessica, are you okay?” she asks.“I'm fine I think” I say turning to look at Peter he’s wearing shorts now. I remember him transforming into a wolf out of the blue, and slowly everything they told me starts coming back and I lean against a wall.“So you guys are really werewolves” I say. “How is this even possible”“Everything’s possible Jes”“So if you guys are werewolves what does that make me?” I ask more confused than I have ever been.Peter and Camilla share a look. “We’re not exactly sure”Huh, I don’t ev
Unpacking doesn’t take as long as I had anticipated, not that it should've. I don't have a lot of things, courtesy of my deadbeat parents. Besides, I've spent most of my life on the road. When you’re constantly travelling you learn to travel light and not form bonds and attachments.Even as I unpack and settle into my Uncle's house it feels like another guest lodge except I’m not staying for a week or two. I’m staying until I turn 18, which luckily enough for me is very soon. It’s tomorrow actually.I’ve already made up my mind about this place, I’ll just wait it out, go to my parents funeral, collect my trust fund and leave. That’s it.I blow the hair away from my face as I hear footsteps nearing my door and stopping. That must be Camilla. It’s crazy how good my hearing is. My mom had always joked about my senses being weirdly heightened. I rolled my eyes, it was just a thing, and then as though I imagined it.I hear my uncle's voice speak. But it’s not out loud, it's like in my head
Tomorrow I'm going to give the eulogy of two people I can’t stand, and I'm expected to just lie between my teeth and say good things about them when they have never done anything but ruin my life.The two people I’m talking about are my mother and father, so yeah I'm freshly an orphan and I have no idea what the hell I'm doing.The road to Lunar Cove stretched endlessly before me, winding through dense forests that seemed to whisper secrets I wasn’t meant to hear. I clench my hands around the steering wheel. It had already been a week since I lost both of my parents in a tragic accident.It was a crazy event one I don’t wish to relive any time soon. Especially when I remember how it all happened. And as if that wasn’t bad enough now I’m expected to drive over to my Uncle and Aunts place.I had spent most of life on the road with my parents, travelling where ever the world would take us, I love the freedom it afforded me, seeing the world and all but as I drive down the smooth winding
