MOON'S REBELLION
Werewolf The alpha's daughter, Lyra, has always known her duty to the pack. As the future alpha female, she's expected to mate with Axel, the pack's fiercest warrior. Their union would ensure strong leadership and powerful offspring. But fate has other plans.
On a routine border patrol, Lyra encounters a lone wolf - rugged, mysterious, and undeniably alluring. His name is Raven, an outcast with a dark past. The moment their eyes meet, an undeniable bond forms - the rare and sacred true mate connection.
Torn between duty and desire, Lyra keeps her encounter secret. But as the mating ceremony with Axel approaches, she finds herself drawn back to the forest, seeking Raven. Their clandestine meetings intensify the bond, making it increasingly difficult for Lyra to imagine a life without him.
Meanwhile, Axel grows suspicious of Lyra's distracted behavior. The pack begins to whisper about her suitability as a future leader. Lyra's father, the current alpha, senses something amiss but can't pinpoint the cause of his daughter's inner turmoil.
As the mating ceremony looms ever closer, Lyra must make an impossible choice: honor her duty to the pack by mating with Axel, or follow her heart and risk everything for a chance at true love with Raven. The stability of the pack hangs in the balance, and the consequences of her decision will ripple through the entire werewolf community.

Then, she met him. The first man to call her beautiful. The first man to show her what it felt like to be loved.
