Amara has always known she was unique, but she never dreamed the Blackwood triplets-Kealan, Lucian, and Darius would disturb her calm life. Bound together by a prophecy that might heal their broken packs and save their planet from an approaching conflict, these three strong Alphas identify her as their mate. Amara must negotiate a labyrinth of mystery, danger, and old secrets between her developing love for the triplets and the rigorous rules banning their union. Though it entails bloodshed, the Council, defenders of the traditional ways, is resolved to keep her and the triplets apart. Amara must decide whether to follow the demands of the prophecy or create a new road that might change their planet when her latent talents wake. But who can she really trust-betrayal hiding in every shadow? Amara has to discover the will to embrace her destiny-or risk losing everything-in a society when loyalty is questioned and love is outlawed. Will Amara and the Blackwood triplets transcend the odds, or will the forbidden love binding them their undoing?

Fated Triad: Shadows of the Moon Chapter 1 Shadows of the Moon

Amara Lyall's POV

The old grandfather clock in the library ticked methodically, its sound a constant friend to the mild hum of my laptop and page turning motion. My haven was the library, where among the stacks of worn-out books and antique tomes I could immerse myself. Here I was invisible, something I found comforting. In Silverwood, an Omega like me fit nowhere among the great intrigues of the Alphas. But behind the cover of my ordinary work, I carried secrets that might upset the fragile equilibrium of our planet.

Five went on the clock, and I got ready to close for nighttime. At this hour, the library was always empty; the last users had long since left. I went throughout the aisles returning wayward books to their correct locations. A shadow dropped across the front door just as I was ready to lock it.

Startled, I looked up to find someone standing outside framed by the last of the light. The shape was striking, with a strong posture suggesting might. My pulse skipped a beat-no typical werewolf could create such a powerful presence. My fingers chilly and clammy, I stumbled with the keys.

"May I help you?" Trying to keep a steady voice, I spoke out. The man emerged from the darkness looking really good with dark, disheveled hair and piercing blue eyes. He wore a custom coat that represented authority and riches.

"I hope I'm not invading," he replied smoothly, his voice like velvet. I'm Kaelan Blackwood. I was informed I might come across you here.

The name struck me like a stomach punch. The strongest Alphas in Silverwood were the Blackwood triplets, Darius, Lucian, and Kaelan. I never expected them to find me; their presence was hardly sensed outside their own fields. Though my heart surged, I kept a blank face.

"I'm Amara Lyall," I said, attempting to project calm. " How might I help you?"

Kaelan fixed a focused stare as though he could see right through me. Stepping inside as though he owned the place, he said, "We need to talk about a matter of great importance." His nearly overpowering warmth was simply amazing. "May I come inside?"

I hesitated, but I nodded because of curiosity-and maybe a deeper sense of doom. Hoping the alone would help me to better assess the matter, I guided him to my little office at the rear of the library.

Kealan leaned forward after we were seated, his gaze never leaving me. His tone solemn, he said, "I'm here because of a prophecy." "It's thought that a fated mate will bring our split groups together and save a coming calamity. I think you are your partner.

Like a thunderclap, the words strike me. Prophecies were the cornerstone upon which our planet was constructed, not just tales. It was both exciting and terrible to realize that, as an Omega with nothing to identify except my latent skills, I might be the key to such a historic occurrence.

Trying to digest the weight of his allegation, I answered, "I don't understand." " Why would you think it's me?"

Kaelan's face turned even more grave. "You have a very unique gift for foresight, Amara. The prophecy describes a mate who can see behind the curtain of the present into the future. Though the Council-those who uphold our laws-will never accept a union like this, we have seen images like you.

THE Council. The very idea of them made my back hurt. For people like me, their exacting adherence to tradition has always made life challenging. The mention of their displeasure made me start to get scared.

"Why would the Council turn against this?" My voice quivering somewhat, I asked.

According to Kaelan, "they fear change." "They are limited by old rules stating one mate per Alpha. It is anathema to three Alphas to have one mate shared among them. But the prophecy is unambiguous. We have to come together to stop a certain disaster.

A great crash sounded in the library just then. My heart shot up into my mouth. I looked at Kaelan, who was already on his feet, his face turning to one of worry.

"Stay here," he said, his voice low and urgent. I'll have a look at it.

Though my thoughts were racing, I nodded. Driven by curiosity over fear, I trailed him to the noise source. I spotted smashed glass and tipped furniture when we arrived at the main hall. The front door swung gently in the breeze, open.

"It seems we're not alone," Kaelan said, his voice tense with conflict. He moved quickly, his better senses scouring the space. His eyes gleamed with purpose, and for the first time I felt an odd draw toward him-a connection I could not completely grasp.

A man suddenly sprang out from behind a book stack. My breath seized in my throat when I identified the invader: a man hidden in shadows, his face covered by a black hood.

"Drop down!" Screaming, Kaelan pushed me behind a bookcase. I hardly had time to respond before the mysterious figure surged toward Kaelan, a bloody conflict starting.

Watching in dread as the two figures collided, the sound of their conflict echoed around the library. Kaelan battled with an intensity that was both hypnotic and terrible. Though skilled, it was evident that the shadowy man was equally dangerous.

Amid the tumult, I caught a glimpse of a small, glistening object on the floor-a pendant with a complex design. Though I couldn't really put it, it was familiar. My hands shaking, I grabbed for it when the shadowy man turned to face me.

" Leave her out of this!" Kaelan cried out loud. The man stopped, their eyes locked with mine for a brief, disturbing moment before turning into the darkness.

Kaelan turned to me, his countenance a mix of relief and frustration, breathing heavily. "Are you right?"

I nodded, though my heart was thumping. What was that about?

Kaelan gave a somber look. "The dark man was a spy, someone trying to undercut our work. This is only starting now. The Council won't welcome our meddling, and some will stop at nothing to see us fail.

The weight of his comments fell mostly on my shoulders. I had believed my life was limited to the tranquil areas of the library, but now I was thrown into a risky political and prophetic game. I felt as Kaelan and I stood among the debris that my world had permanently changed.

Is there any way to prevent this conflict? My voice was no more than a whisper, I asked.

Kaelan turned to face me, a mixture of hope and resignation evident. "We haven't found it yet. Nevertheless, we have to give it a try. It determines the course of our planet.

Though the library was destroyed, the real harm came from the evening's disclosures. The road ahead felt dangerous as Kaelan and I confronted an uncertain future; I couldn't help but wonder if the prophecy that had brought us together would finally save us-or cause our death.

The warning of the shadowy figure still lingered in my head, and I knew the next few days would be dangerous and fascinating. And when Kaelan's palm touched mine, I experienced an odd mix of anxiety and excitement-a disturbing preamble to the challenges ahead.

One thing was certain as we got ready to meet the future: my life as I knew it was dead. I was now in the middle of a tempest that would completely change everything I knew since the shadow of the forbidden moon had cast its spell.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
