Blood Moon Wolf
Adventure Blood Moon Wolf.
Trapped by a curse. Driven by vengeance. Bound to darkness.
Elias, once a nobleman, now a creature of the night, is a man whose soul is torn between his human self and the beast he has become. Cursed by an ancient and powerful magic, he is doomed to transform into a werewolf under the full moon, bound to the very darkness that now consumes him. What was once a life of privilege and power has been replaced by a nightmare of savage violence and torment.
The tragedy that began his descent into this monstrous fate was not only the death of his beloved but the betrayal by those he trusted most. With the death of his family came the cold realization that the very world he once ruled had been a lie. His enemies, masked as allies, left him with nothing-no hope, no purpose, only a burning desire for vengeance. The curse they placed upon him is both his punishment and his weapon, leaving Wagner to battle not only the beasts within but the very forces that orchestrated his downfall.
The first chapter of his nightmare begins when, under the full moon, Elias transforms into the beast for the first time-his senses heightened, his instincts sharp, his mind clouded by bloodlust. The man who once held the power to command armies is now nothing more than a slave to the moon's pull, caught between the man he once was and the monster he has become. With every passing transformation, the beast's control grows stronger, and Elias's humanity slips further away.
But Elias's story is more than just a tale of revenge; it's one of love lost and love found, of light battling against the ever-present darkness. After years of wandering the shadows, consumed by rage and guilt, Elias encounters a mysterious woman whose presence stirs something within him-a memory of the love he once lost. She is unlike any woman he has ever known, intelligent, fierce, and perhaps the key to his salvation. But their love is doomed from the start, for the beast inside Elias cannot be contained, and the man he was will always be at war with the wolf he has become.
In a world where politics, ancient cults, and forgotten gods hold sway, Elias must navigate a path filled with enemies both old and new. An ancient cult, whose secrets date back centuries, offers Elias a chance at redemption-or destruction. But their help comes at a steep price: his soul. The leader of the cult, a figure both charismatic and terrifying, seems to hold all the answers Elias seeks-but are they truly answers, or just more lies? As Elias delves deeper into the dark underworld of this cult, he begins to question everything he thought he knew about his curse-and about himself.
The cult isn't the only shadowy organization pursuing their own goals. A rival faction, equally mysterious and dangerous, sees Elias as a tool to be manipulated. With each encounter, Elias is forced to question who he can trust and whether his own quest for revenge is merely feeding into a larger game, one where he is nothing more than a pawn.
As Elias's power grows and the full moon draws nearer, the battle between his human and monstrous sides intensifies. He becomes both hunter and hunted, with every decision carrying greater consequences. The woman he loves fears him, not because of the man he is, but because of the beast he has become. Their love becomes a bittersweet hope, a fleeting moment of tenderness in a world consumed by darkness.
But with each passing night, the curse tightens its grip on him. Elias knows that he can never be truly free of it-unless he is willing to sacrifice everything. But can he truly sacrifice the one thing that makes him human? Can he face the truth of his past and embrace the monstrous future that awaits him? The answers lie within the very heart of the curse, deep within the ancient rituals that bind his fate.
To break the curse, Elias must venture deeper into the realm of the unknown, where the lines between the living and the dead blur. He must confront not only the darkness within but also the hidden truths about his bloodline, the very lineage that brought him to this point. What will it cost him to break the chains that bind him? Will he sacrifice his love, his soul, or even his life in a final attempt to regain his humanity? Or will he embrace the beast fully, allowing it to consume him entirely, becoming the very monster he once feared?
As Elias's journey unfolds, it becomes clear that his fate is tied to something much greater than himself. The curse that haunts him is but a small part of a far-reaching conspiracy-one that spans generations, weaving together the lives of kings, gods, and monsters alike. To break free, Elias must face not only the forces that cursed him but the deeper, darker secrets that threaten to unravel everything he thought he knew.
In the end, Elias is faced with a choice that will determine his fate: will he continue down the path of vengeance, or will he finally break the curse that binds him? You might like

His Innocent Obsession
Estelle Hayes Isla Hart has spent her entire life protected from the truth. Sheltered in the cold, opulent mansion her father built with wealth stained by secrets, she has never known the world outside the safety of her gilded cage. She's been raised in the comfort of ignorance-her innocence preserved like a precious gem, untouched by the horrors lurking just beneath the surface. But nothing lasts forever.
Her father, a man with debts deeper than anyone knows, has been in the claws of a dangerous criminal syndicate for years. And now, with everything collapsing around him, he makes an unthinkable decision to save himself: he will auction off his daughter's virginity to the highest bidder. The price of her body is nothing compared to the price of her father's survival.
At twenty-one, Isla is thrust into a world she never knew existed-one where power and corruption reign, and she is nothing more than a transaction, a pawn in a game she doesn't understand. An underground auction, hidden in the dark corners of New York's criminal elite, will determine her fate. But as the bidding begins, there's one man who stands out from the rest.
Vincenzo "Vince" Moretti is not like the others.
A mafia don who commands respect through bloodshed and fear, Vince is a man who has made his fortune off ruthlessness. At thirty-seven, he has built an empire that stretches across continents, feared by everyone who dares cross him. Cruel, cold, and indifferent, Vince has never allowed weakness to cloud his judgment. But when his eyes land on Isla, everything shifts. She is an innocent, untouched by the darkness of the world he controls. She's everything he shouldn't want, but something about her purity calls to him.
Vince outbids every man in the room, securing Isla as his own. She is no longer just a piece of property for sale-she is now his possession. A contract signed in blood, a life bound by the chains of obligation, desire, and power.
To Isla, the world as she knew it shatters. Her father's debts are wiped clean in exchange for her innocence, but in the cold, unyielding world of Vince's mafia empire, she is now nothing more than a beautiful hostage-trapped in a life of submission. But with Vince, things are different. He is cruel to everyone else, manipulative and tyrannical in his dealings. Yet, when it comes to Isla, there's a strange gentleness. A possessive tenderness. He keeps her close, under his watchful eye, as if she's a rare, delicate thing that no one else can touch.
But his protection comes at a price.
Vince will not let her go. He will mold her, shape her, and possess her in ways she never thought possible. With every passing day, the line between desire and control blurs. Vince isn't just taking her body-he wants her heart, her mind, her soul. And as the days turn to weeks, Isla finds herself torn between survival and submission. She is drawn to him in a way she cannot escape, yet terrified of what she's becoming.
But a storm is coming.
Luca Santoro-Vince's former ally, now his deadliest rival-has been waiting for a weakness. A crack in Vince's otherwise unbreakable armor. And he has found it in Isla.
Luca knows that Vince's obsession with Isla is his greatest vulnerability. He will stop at nothing to break her spirit and use her to bring Vince to his knees. His plan is simple: destroy Vince's empire by destroying Isla. Luca doesn't just want to own Isla-he wants to destroy what she means to Vince, and he will stop at nothing to make her his.
The clock is ticking.
As the tension between Vince and Luca escalates, Isla's world becomes even more dangerous. The mafia's brutal games are no longer just about loyalty and power-they're about survival. But the deeper Isla falls into Vince's world, the more she realizes that the man who controls everything around her is also controlling her heart. She cannot leave him, yet she knows that staying might cost her everything.
Is she willing to lose herself in a man who sees her as both a possession and a passion?
In a world where love and pain collide, Isla must decide if she can find freedom in submission or if her innocence will be the very thing that destroys her
