Lunar Destiny
Adventure
Under the leadership of a strong Alpha, a community flourishes in the mythical world of werewolves. Conflicts within this pack develop as a result of rank, territory disputes, and the challenges of predestined relationships. In this hierarchical society, where physical dominance and power are paramount, "Moonlit Destiny" dives into the complex dynamics at play.
Our tenacious heroine, Amelia, a regular pack member who was born weak, is at the center of the story. She endures relentless abuse from others who believe they are better. A tension that penetrates the pack and simmers below the surface is brought on by the incessant bullying. However, Amelia's journey involves metamorphosis as she unearths her latent strength and sets out on a road to becoming a formidable individual.
Wars play a crucial role in the tale, influencing both the main storyline and the developing friendship between Amelia and the mysterious hero, Ethan. Conflicts start to arise, with serious repercussions for both the pack and the developing relationship. The narrative examines the precarious balance between order and anarchy while emphasizing the tremendous loss of life and love that may come along with war's devastation.
But the relationships between partners are unpredictable, which leads to the most compelling fights. Amelia and Ethan are initially rivals and are doomed to be strangers. They battle against their mutual fate and reluctance to embrace their planned relationship. As they struggle with their changing emotions and confront the very foundation of their werewolf existence, their journey is characterized by riveting moments of transformation and rebellion.
"Lunar Destiny" is a story of perseverance, love, and the empowering influence of accepting one's own self. Readers are drawn into a universe where the moon's brightness illuminates the road to self-discovery and pushes the boundaries of fate itself through the struggles Amelia and Ethan experience.

G.Gordon CRACK.
Daniel landed a clean punch right to Leo's jaw. I gasped, hand flying to my mouth, but internally? Oh god, that was satisfying to watch.
Ally and I latched onto each other, giggling like schoolgirls, and took this as our cue to GTFO.
We bolted from the VIP section, dodging security and weaving through the crowd until we reached the DJ stage. The bass rattled my bones, the lights flashing in dizzying neon colors.
Ally clutched my arm. "What the hell did you say to that guy, Daniel?"
I burst into laughter, now fully slurring. "I told him that Leo was my obsessive ex. That I had a restraining order against him, and he wouldn't leave me alone."
Ally's jaw hit the floor. "Celeste. YOU DIDN'T."
I grinned wickedly. "I did. And then I told him if he protected me, he could have me all night long."
Ally full-on SCREAMED, grabbing my shoulders. "You evil little genius."
We howled with laughter, ignoring the chaos happening behind us. The VIP section was in full-blown war mode, but us? We were thriving.
Dancing, spinning, arms in the air, riding the high of the night. We climbed onto one of the podiums, bodies moving with the music, our dresses clinging to our curves. We were reckless. We were untouchable.
Until we weren't.
One second, I was basking in my freedom. The next, a pair of strong hands gripped my thighs, and before I could react-I was THROWN over someone's shoulder.
Everything tilted. My stomach lurched. I shrieked, pounding my fists against a broad, muscular back.
"WHAT THE FUCK-PUT ME DOWN!"
I twisted my head, and even through my blurred, drunken vision, I knew exactly who had me.
Leo.

Celeste never wanted this life. She never wanted the weight of her family's name, the blood-stained legacy, or the ruthless enemies lurking in the shadows. And she sure as hell never wanted to marry Leonidas Astor-the man who once meant everything to her as a child, until he turned her world into a nightmare.
Forced into a marriage neither of them wanted, Celeste and Leo are bound by an inescapable contract, tangled in a web of power, revenge, and deadly secrets. But when Celeste uncovers a chilling truth-one that shatters the foundation of their hatred-she realizes she's been fighting the wrong enemy all along.
The real monster has been hiding in plain sight. And now, both of them are running out of time.
With danger closing in and betrayals lurking around every corner, Celeste must decide: Can she trust the man who ruined her life? Or will this marriage be the beginning of her downfall?
Vows were made. Lies were told. And in a world where love and money are weapons, Celeste is about to find out just how deadly it can be. Wake Up, Dream Boy!
Mr. Ben Having some of the poems in the first edition of the poem collection, ‘The P.O.T (Poured Out Thoughts)’ published in several poetry magazines as High On Poems, Earthborne Magazine, Deadsnakes and so on, the author has ushered in the second, titled ‘The P.O.T (Poured Out Thoughts) ---The Reloaded.
It is said to be ‘reloaded’ because there are other poems to be added to make this edition slightly richer than the first.

The Table of Contents has the additional poems that readers, who have read the first edition, would realize. They are intended to look into general issues, family, gender, parental, religious (Christian faith), children, love and personal/motivational.
The aim behind this piece is simple. As said in the first edition, it is about entertaining, enlightening, inspiring or motivating and enabling people think for themselves.
Worthy of Note: The author believes that subsequent edition(s) of the work would carry the above-stated aim.
