THE ALPHA'S BLIND MATE
Werewolf **Exposition**
Fifteen years ago, Damien Blackwood made a vow he would carry with him forever: the girl who saved his life, Ariana Grey, would one day be his mate. She had risked everything to rescue him from the flames of a raging fire, sacrificing her own sight in the process. For six months, they had lived together in the wilderness, surviving on each other's strength and forming an unbreakable bond. It was during that time, while they fought against the odds, that Damien swore he would protect her for the rest of his days. But when his father, Alpha Reginald, found them, Damien was ripped from Ariana's side. His father, with threats of violence against his family, made it clear that she was not to be brought back into his life.
Now, Damien stands on the cusp of becoming the next Alpha, the weight of the pack's future resting on his shoulders. But Reginald imposes one final condition for Damien to claim his rightful place: he must find a mate. His heart, however, still clings to Ariana-the woman he's been searching for relentlessly for over a decade. During a solitary journey into the wilderness, Damien finally senses his mate. But when he finds her, he is bitterly disappointed. The woman before him is not Ariana. She is Melina, a blind girl and the daughter of a pack servant, and yet, her presence haunts him, reminding him too much of the lost woman he once loved. Consumed with guilt and bitterness, Damien rejects her without hesitation.
What Damien doesn't know is that the woman he's just cast aside is Ariana herself, living under a new identity, blind and unrecognized. Though she has always loved him, the pain of his rejection is too much to bear. As time passes, Damien's cruelty escalates, culminating in him framing her for the murder of his own mother after witnessing his father commit the crime. Unbeknownst to him, Ariana is carrying his child. Banished and imprisoned, she endures years of suffering while Damien becomes the Alpha, haunted by the regret of his actions. But when Damien discovers that his father never sought out Ariana and has been manipulating him all along, his guilt turns to rage, and he nearly kills Reginald, leaving him in a coma.
Haunted by the truth, Damien realizes that the blind girl he wronged was, in fact, Ariana. Rushing to free her from her prison, he finds a heart broken beyond repair, hardened by the pain of his betrayal.

**Inciting Incident**
Damien sets out to make amends, but when he frees Ariana from her prison, she rejects his apologies with cold indifference. A sharp pang of realization hits him when he notices a young boy named Leo, who bears an uncanny resemblance to him. Damien suspects Leo may be his son, but Ariana's silence leaves him uncertain. Determined to leave the past behind, Ariana accepts an offer from Alpha Marcus, a rival to Damien's father. Marcus offers her and Leo protection and promises her a position of power within his pack if she pledges her loyalty to him. Feeling the weight of the future and the need to keep Leo safe, Ariana leaves, vowing to make Damien pay for the years of suffering he caused her.

Furious at Damien's continued ties to her, Reginald orders Damien to eliminate Marcus, making it clear that Leo's life is on the line if Damien refuses. Realizing that Reginald knows the truth about Leo's paternity, Damien understands the full extent of the danger his son faces.
Meanwhile, under Marcus's guidance, Ariana evolves into a powerful strategist, using her blindness to her advantage. Her bond with Marcus deepens, and though she still harbors feelings for Damien, they become more complicated by her growing alliance with Marcus. Armed with newfound strength and confidence, Ariana prepares to challenge the Blackwoods and secure her independence, emboldened by Marcus's support.

BOOK ONE:
After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner.
King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her.
But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
