After she's claimed by the ruler of the moon court. A being who's dark beauty and lethal power are only whispered about.

Chapter 1 PROLOGUE

The rain poured down, drumming against the leaves and casting a misty veil over the forest. A lone figure, cloaked in darkness, ran through the torrent, their footsteps splashing in the puddles. They carried a bundle wrapped in cloth, cradled in their arms, as if it was their most precious possession.

The figure burst into a clearing, revealing a village surrounded by a large stone wall, reinforced with iron bars. They sprinted towards the entrance, their breath visible in the chill air. Once inside, they raced through the streets, their eyes darting around frantically.

The figure dashed into an alleyway, stopping to catch their breath. They gazed down at the bundle, their hands cradling it protectively. The wrapping was soggy and worn, but they held it tight.

As they paused, they spotted a man entering the nearby tavern. They watched, hidden in the shadows, as he disappeared into the warm glow within.

With a deep breath, the figure approached the tavern, the rain soaking their cloak. They gently placed the bundle in a box on the steps, pulling back their hood to reveal a beautiful woman - the baby's mother. She loosened the wrapping, revealing a sleeping baby girl. With a tender touch, she removed a necklace and placed it on the baby's chest.

The mother's eyes welled up with tears as she stroked the baby's face. "Oh, little one," she whispered, her voice cracking with emotion. "I'll miss you so much. May the gods watch over you." She paused, collecting her thoughts. "May you find a better life than I could ever give you."

With a heavy heart, she knocked on the door and dashed off into the rain, leaving the baby and the box behind. The door creaked open, and a warm light spilled out, illuminating the sleeping baby.

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** 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?
