Introduction

"I, Eris Oakenfire, reject you Gideon Greenwood as my mate." I blurted it out as fast as I could before I lost my resolve. A sharp pain shot through my chest as I said it and I gripped my shirt tightly, sucking in a breath. Gideon's eyes widened and flashed with anger. The man in the front seat actually gasped in horror.
"First," he said stubbornly, "I reject your rejection."
I glared at him.
"Secondly, did you just say Oakenfire? Like the lost pack Ice Moon Oakenfire's?"


THE ALPHA AND THE MAIDEN is Book #1 of The Green Witch Trilogy.Eris has spent the last three years in hiding after her pack, and her parents, were killed by a mysterious stranger with yellow eyes and his hoard of vampires. The Alpha of the Gold Moon Pack has been searching for his mate for six years and is determined not to let her reject him. What he doesn't realize is that he'll be fighting more than just Eris' stubborn heart. There's a powerful beast collecting rare supernaturals and he's got his yellow eyes on her.

The other two books are BOOK TWO: THE BETA AND THE FOX and BOOK THREE: THE LION AND THE WITCH.

Chapter 1

"Our Alpha is dead!" A woman next to us cried out.

No— it wasn't possible!

I felt for the Alpha, my father, through the pack bond and found a black void where his energy should be. I was trying to compose myself and remain calm when the screams around me turned from agony to fear and horror.

What felt like mere minutes ago I had been a mostly normal teenage girl, mostly normal because the firstborn child of the Alpha is groomed their entire life to succeed their father or mother. My upbringing was very different from a regular werewolf pup. Always training. Always studying.

I was in a sparring lesson at the edge of the forest. We were just finishing as dusk turned into night on the horizon. Suddenly, my father's Beta, or second in command, linked me through the pack bond in a panic.

'Eris, we're under attack. You need to return to the packhouse and find your mother.' The warrior I was training with had received a similar message and we sprinted back towards home together.

Sheer terror and thick smoke constricted my throat while I ran through the streets of the pack's village where I had lived my entire life. The screams of my pack members rang in my ears, buildings crumbled into themselves all around me. Tears stung my eyes and my heart clenched, still reeling from the loss.

'Eris, your sister is at Holly's, please find her and return to me.' My mother's soothing voice linked me, then she was lost.

My sister Enid was still a young pup, only eleven years old, and would not be able to mind-link until she was fifteen. Holly was her best friend. I attempted to link Holly's mother but received no reply.

I turned down the street to Holly's home and gasped in horror when I saw the building completely engulfed in flame. I squinted through the smoke and saw a small figure standing at the front gate. Enid.

I picked up my pace, ran to my sister, "Where is Holly?!"

Her eyes were wide as saucers as she pointed a shaking finger at the wreckage behind me. I turned and felt an intense heatwave as the roof caved in and crashed through both levels of the home. No one could've survived.

Looking at everything collapsing in front of me, I was thrown into chaos. How was everything set on fire so quickly? Confusingly, I did not smell or see any rogue wolves.

Who was attacking us?

Without time to think more, I grabbed Enid's hand and started to run again towards the pack house, dragging her roughly behind me.

Suddenly, the metallic scent of blood invaded my nostrils accompanied by the smell of rot and decay. I turned to look down the street and from the direction I had just travelled, I finally saw our attackers.

I'd never actually been in their presence, but I immediately recognized them as vampires.

Besides their pallid skin and elongated claws, they did not look very different from a werewolf in human form. They snarled and ripped at the throats of those around them, drinking and laughing giddily in the bloodbath.

Panic rose in my chest and I scooped my sister into my arms and ran, but I already knew we weren't going to make it. We would not escape the hoard descending upon us. I wished I could shift to my wolf, but I still had two months until my eighteenth birthday when I would mature into an adult.

A sob finally escaped my stubborn lips as I felt the others running close to us being pulled back and the subsequent sounds of the slaughter behind me. I braced myself for the fiends to grab me, but the hands never came.

A vicious growl sounded and a large dark brown wolf leapt into the fray. It was Thad, my mother's personal guard. He was a fierce warrior and had been a constant in my life since I was a little girl. Mother must have sent him to aid our escape.

'Run little wolf!' he linked me before throwing back his giant head and howling. Other adults, although not warriors, rallied to his call and shifted into their wolves. They began to battle the hoard, tearing limbs and heads off of the vampires. Despite their bravery, I could see that they would all be killed; the disparity in numbers was too great.

'RUN!' Thad linked again, more urgently this time. I spun on my heel and did as I was told. My throat was tight with the grief and the awareness that he was dying for our chance to survive.

I could see the pack house just ahead and focused on it, running as fast as my legs would carry. Enid's weight tested my strength, but I refused to stop or put her down. I clutched her tightly and she buried her sobbing face into my chest.

'Mother?!' I linked urgently.

'To the stables now. Hurry, Eris!'

Our pack was one of the few left that was too stubborn to embrace the new technology that leaked over the borders of the realm from the human world. Although I'd seen pictures, we did not travel with vehicles. The horses were seldom used because adult wolves were faster in wolf form. But, my mother loved horses, so my father kept them and insisted every child learned to ride in case they ever needed to travel long distances.

I rounded the corner into the stables and saw my mother adjusting the saddle on my favorite bay gelding, Ollie. She turned and opened her arms for me and I dove into them sobbing loudly.

"Mother! Father, he-," I choked on the words.

Mother stroked my hair and soothed me, "I know, dear. I know." Her voice was also broken by tears. Losing a true mate was the most painful experience a werewolf could endure. I felt that only her instinct to protect her pups was driving her past grief.

She held us tightly for a moment before she pushed me away from her and looked into my eyes. "You need to take your sister and ride, Eris. Go and don't look back. I have to stay. I am the Luna, the mother of this pack. I cannot abandon them."

"No, no. Please mother, don't make us go." I begged. I wanted to stay and help. I was the future Alpha of this pack after all. Instinctively, I felt through the pack bond and realized with horror that there was hardly anyone left alive. I could sense a few flickering life forces but was mostly greeted by the black void.

She opened her mouth to answer but was interrupted by a loud noise that sounded like something huge dropping from the sky. The ground shook slightly beneath our feet. My mother's eyes grew wide with fear and she stepped protectively in front of us. I braced for a large creature to enter the stables and was shocked when a smiling man rounded the corner instead. He was close to seven feet tall, the largest man I'd ever seen.

I could tell immediately he wasn't a werewolf.

His hair was the color of fire, reds and oranges that seemed to dance just like a flame atop his head. His yellow eyes had black slits for pupils and they immediately set on my mother. He stalked towards her with a vile smirk.

Mother turned to us and threw my sister up in the saddle, forcing me up behind her. Tears spilled out of her eyes and ran down her soft cheeks as she spoke to us one last time,

"Never forget that I love you both more than anything else in this world. Be strong, okay? Take care of each other."

My sister wailed loudly and I tried to argue but she slapped Ollie's haunch and he took off, exiting the stable away from the red-haired man. I handed the reins to my sister and turned in time to see my mother shift into her beautiful white wolf. A color so rare we currently don't know of another in any of the packs we associated with.

We left the red-haired man's laughter behind us with tears in our eyes. As we ascended a hill into the forest, my sister stopped the horse and we looked back again in the direction of our mother.

The man with red hair held my mother in her wolf form by her neck. She struggled in his grasp and I couldn't understand how he could restrain her in his human form. In a one-on-one battle, a vampire could not stand against even the most average werewolf. If he was indeed a vampire, it shouldn't be possible.

We both screamed in agony when he violently grabbed my mom's scruff and ripped her head from her body as if she were a paper doll. With the Alpha and Luna gone, the pack bond dissolved. Our pack was officially eliminated.

My stomach churned while I watched the red-haired monster lift my mother's body and begin to drink her blood.

I was shocked at how strong he was, but hated his power just as much. The loss of my parents broke my heart. I turned my sister into my chest and vowed to protect her for the rest of my life.

"RIDE!" I screamed at Ollie, my voice hoarse and painful.

We rode in a sprint as long as Ollie could last, both of us sobbing the entire way. We are orphans now, lost and afraid.

"Ten years of atonement, and you flee?"

His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.

"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.

"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."

I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.

"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."

On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.

From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.

Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers.

"White wolf! Kill that monster!"
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.

From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.

On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...

Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.

George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.

His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"

Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.

When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
