Chapter 1
New York, Seven Hundred Years Ago
The full blood moon hung low in the night sky, staining the world red feeling ominous as ever.
Inside a small cottage hidden deep within the forest, a baby slept peacefully in a wooden cradle, completely unaware that her world was going to change this very day.
A woman stood beside the cradle, tears streaming silently down her face as she brushed her trembling fingers over the infant's soft cheek.
"We have to send her away," she whispered, holding the baby's hand.
The man standing near the window clenched his jaw. Every instinct inside him rebelled against the idea but he knew this was the only way.
"I know."
His voice was clearly rough,he couldn't bear to be apart from the little one.
"But I swear to you, even if it costs me my life, I will protect our daughter." Stroking the woman's back consoling her.
A distant howl echoed through the forest.
The man's eyes widened.
"They're here."
He pulled back the curtain slightly and looked into the darkness.
He could see dozens of people coming with torches with his lycan eyes he could see and hear them.
He clenched his fist feeling betrayed than ever.
"They're closer than I thought." Closing back the curtains and going back to the cradle hoping the noise won't startle the baby.
The woman hurried toward a small wooden table and opened a carved box. Inside were red candles, black feathers, and pieces of chalk etched with ancient runes.
Without wasting another second, she pushed the table aside clearing the floor as she prepared to start the spell
The chalk scraped against the floor as she drew a large circle and placed the candles in the position it should be.
One by one, the candles flickered to life as she flicked her fingers
Ancient words rolled from her lips, her eyes changing colors.
The language had not been spoken for centuries and was nearly forgotten.
Her magic stirred as the air around the room became heavier as mist and smoke surrounded them.
Outside, the voices were growing louder and closer.
The hunters were almost upon them and she needed to hurry.
The man rushed to the cradle and carefully lifted the baby into his arms holding her carefully.
The little girl stirred but did not wake.
For a brief moment he held her close, breathing in her scent, trying to memorize everything and hold the last piece of memory he will ever get , he walked to the circle and then he placed her in the center of the circle moving back.
The woman drew a silver knife from her belt and without hesitation, she sliced her palm letting the blood flow from her hand and dripped onto the baby's forehead she held out the knife to the man as he took the knife and cut his own hand letting his blood also drip on the baby head as their blood mixed together.
The moment it touched the child's skin, a glowing mark appeared on her forehead as the floor trembled and the candles burned brighter.
A powerful force surged through the circle surrounding the baby.
The voices outside grew closer and closer
"They're breaking through the barriers," the man growled .
The woman nodded, fighting back another sob.
"I'll finish the spell."
He bent down and pressed a kiss to his daughter's forehead.
His eyes shone with unshed tears.
"Forgive us."
Then he turned and strode toward the door.
As his bone cracked and his features changed.
Within seconds a massive black wolf stood where the man had been
The woman buried her fingers in his fur one last time.
"Be careful."
The wolf nuzzled her hand then he charged into the night heading into the battle he had longed all his life to keep his family safe.
As screams of pain and howls of wolves erupt outside.
Inside the cottage, the woman remained kneeling beside the circle.
The magic intensified much stronger and the necklace around her neck began to glow.
With trembling hands she removed it and fastened it around the baby's neck.
"My little moon..."
The cottage door was kicked open as several armed figures stormed inside the small cottage ,the people she once called friends and allies are the very people she least expected to be betrayed by.
The woman sprang to her feet ,magic burst from her hands sending some of the people flying and bursting into flames.
For a moment she held them back, stopping them from reaching the baby but there were too many of them and she was already weak from spells she had been chanting.
A blade pierced her from behind as pain exploded in her chest.
She gasped, coughing out blood as it spilled from her lips.
The leader ripped the blade free from her chest, blood flowing from the wound and she fell down.
"You should have surrendered the child."
The woman collapsed to her knees.
Still, she smiled and it was of no use.
The circle was shining brighter than ever as the baby was beginning to fade.
"No!" one of the hunters shouted
The leader lunged forward but he was too late.
The child had vanished and the circle disappeared following the child.
The leader grabbed the dying woman by the shoulders.
"Where did you send her?" He demanded shaking the dying woman.
The woman laughed weakly coughing again
"You will never find her."
His grip tightened.
"Tell me!" He shouted
Her gaze drifted toward the empty space where her daughter had been.
As she looked relieved, it had not been too late and the spell had worked.
"You already lost."
With those final words, she took her last breath tears falling from her eyes.
Outside, beneath the crimson glow of the blood moon, a witch and a lycan gave their lives protecting the child they loved.
And somewhere far beyond their ene
mies' reach, their daughter began a new life.
Unaware that one day the entire supernatural world would hunt her carrying a destiny on her shoulders.

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

Bella and Her Beast
.
Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.

When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
Mated to Her Alpha Instructor
Weeks later, our new Alpha combat instructor walks in. Regis. The guy from the woods. His eyes lock on mine, and I know he recognizes me. Then the secret I've been hiding hits me like a punch: I'm pregnant.

A PRINCESS IN DISGUISE; BOUND TO THE ENEMY KING
I fell to my knees, the cold marble digging into my skin. I had studied for years in the flickering candlelight, memorizing every herb and poison to pass the healer's exam. I wanted freedom. I wanted to save my mother from the servant's quarters. I placed second. I thought I had won my life back.
But the King didn't give me a badge of honor. He gave me a death sentence.
"Raven Thorne shall be wed to the King of Grok," he announced, his voice echoing in the silent hall. Princess Ellie, the woman who had tormented me for years, slapped her hands over her mouth to hide her cruel laughter. She was supposed to marry the Beast. Now, I was the lamb being sent to the slaughter in her place.
They say King Liam drinks the blood of his enemies. They say he is more monster than man. And now, I have to walk into his bedroom, wearing the Princess's silk gown, and pray he doesn't tear me apart.
I looked at the King, tears streaming down my face. "I'll do it," I whispered, my voice trembling. "But my mother must be safe."
I sold my body and soul to a monster to save her. But when the carriage door opened and I finally looked into the Beast's golden eyes, I realized the terrifying truth...
He wasn't a stranger. He was the man I met in the woods.

Ultimately, under the relentless pressure from her brothers, she jumped out of a window in despair and died. Her last words were,

She stared at his every movement, lips slightly parted, her stunning brown eyes scanning every inch of his gorgeously toned and glorious body while heat radiated off of hers. He was HERS.
Her body trembled in delight and anticipation; she was ready and wanted to be with him in every way.
As innocent as she was, she wanted him to...no need him to take her in the worse ways, bringing her to heights of pleasures she had never experienced before.
Fuck she is beautiful, one fine specimen, and she is all MINE, MY MATE. A wave of pure unbridled possessiveness vibrated through Alpha Zayne. He thanked the Divine Moon Goddess, for she has truly blessed him.
