Chapter 1 SHATTERED DREAM

Ashley grew up in a loving family with parents who encouraged her passion for ballet. She began dancing at age 3 and quickly became a prodigy, earning a spot in a prestigious ballet company by her late teens. Her life was a whirlwind of performances, rehearsals, and constant travel.

Tragedy struck during a performance when Ashley fell on stage, shattering her leg and ending her ballet career. The injury left her with chronic pain, and the emotional toll was just as devastating. She felt lost and without purpose, struggling to come to terms with her new reality.

Ashley's parents, though well-meaning, didn't understand her pain and frustration. Her friends from the ballet company drifted apart, leaving her feeling isolated. She turned to art, finding solace in painting, but the pain and emotions still lingered

Ethan's past was marked by tragedy. He grew up in a troubled home with a father who struggled with addiction and a mother who worked multiple jobs to make ends meet. Despite the chaos, Ethan found refuge in music, teaching himself to play the piano and compose.

Tragedy struck when Ethan's younger sister died in a car accident. He was behind the wheel, and the guilt consumed him. His father's addiction worsened, and his mother's grief became unbearable. Ethan turned to music to cope, but the pain and guilt lingered.

He abandoned his music scholarship and disappeared from the public eye, unable to face the world. He opened a small bookstore, surrounding himself with words and melodies that brought him comfort. Though he still composed music, it was a secret, a way to heal without exposing himself to the world.

Ethan's past continued to haunt him, making it difficult to trust others or open up about his emotions. He felt like he was living in the shadows, unable to escape the darkness that had defined his life.

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?
