Literature
In Part II, Vol. 2, Of the Rhenish Antiquarius, I once came across a skull that is said - see page 612 to swing, enclosed in a metal casket, from an iron bar in the foundry Of Ehrenbreitstein fortress. Distinction Of this order does not fall to an ordinary mortal. Yon empty shell Of human wisdom once bore the burden of no less than twenty-one mortal sins - the seven originalia trebled. Each crime is noted. The crimi nal confessed to the entire three-times-seven, and yet the death sentence was not passed upon him because Of the twenty-one crimes. His fate was decided by the transgression Of a military regulation.

The first man to show her what it felt like to be loved. It was only one night, but it changed everything. For Lyric, he was a saint, a savior.

She came to survive. He was born to rule. Fate made them mates. And that's where the nightmare began. Evangeline has spent her whole life on the edge, unwanted, unclaimed, and surviving in the shadows of Crescent Moon Pack. A omega by blood and an outcast by choice, she's learned to keep her head down and her scars hidden. But when her dying uncle asks her to enroll at Blackclaw Academy, a school built on bloodlines, brutality, and unforgiving rules..... she agrees. For him, not for herself. She expected whispers. Glares. Even cruelty. What she didn't expect was Ronan Nightbane. The future Alpha. Cold. Untouchable. Worshipped. Feared. And the one the Moon Goddess bound her soul to. Being his mate should've meant protection. Belonging. Destiny. But Ronan wants none of it. He rejects her in front of the entire academy. Mocks her. Marks her as nothing more than a mistake. A threat. A girl born of nothing, who means even less. But Evangeline? She doesn't break. Not for him. Not for anyone. Because the power buried inside her was never meant to be found. The truth behind her blood could burn the entire pack system to the ground. And Ronan, no matter how hard he fights it.... can't stay away. Their bond is poisonous. Addictive. Dangerous. And when war creeps closer and secrets claw their way into the light, he'll have to make a brutal choice: Reject her... or ruin them both.
