Moonlit Bonds follows Selena Hart, a young woman with an innate connection to nature who leads a quiet life in a small town surrounded by ancient woods. Her peaceful existence is disrupted when she meets Gabriel Thorn, a brooding, mysterious man who seems to be more than he appears. Unbeknownst to Selena, Gabriel is the Alpha of a powerful werewolf pack that has lived in secret for generations, bound to the supernatural forces of the land. As Selena becomes drawn to Gabriel, the two share a deep, inexplicable bond. The town, shrouded in old legends and secrets, seems to hold the key to understanding their connection. Gabriel, struggling with the responsibilities of his position as Alpha, is torn between his duty to the pack and the growing feelings he has for Selena, a human whose connection to nature may hold the answers to his most pressing questions. As Selena delves deeper into the mysteries surrounding Gabriel and the pack, she learns that their bond is far stronger and more ancient than either of them could have imagined. The town's legends speak of an ancient prophecy that binds humans and werewolves in a delicate balance, one that has the power to change both their worlds forever. But as dark forces rise against them-both from within the pack and from external threats-Selena and Gabriel must navigate a web of betrayal, loyalty, and danger. Their bond will be tested, forcing them to confront their deepest fears and desires. The fate of the pack, the town, and their own lives are all intertwined in a tale of love, sacrifice, and the supernatural as they face the terrifying truth about their connection beneath the light of the full moon.

Chapter 1 The Wolf's Call

The moon hung low over the sprawling pines of Silverpine, its light painting the forest in shades of silver and shadow. Selena Hart sat on the windowsill of her tiny cabin on the edge of town, staring out at the dark woods. Her heart had been uneasy for weeks, plagued by dreams she couldn't explain. The kind of dreams that left her breathless and questioning reality.

In them, she wasn't just running-she was being hunted. Golden eyes glowed in the dark, a shadowy wolf trailing her every move. Yet, she never felt afraid. Instead, a strange comfort filled her, as if she knew the predator wouldn't harm her. Tonight, though, the feeling was different. Urgent. As if the dream had crossed the boundary of sleep and entered her waking life.

The air outside was crisp and carried the scent of pine and earth. Selena wrapped her shawl tightly around her shoulders and stepped out. The gravel path leading into the woods glimmered faintly under the moonlight, beckoning her forward.

She didn't tell anyone about her midnight walks. Not Lily, her best friend who would scold her for venturing alone, or Mrs Calloway, her nosy neighbour who loved gossiping about Selena's solitary habits. Tonight, though, the pull was stronger than her caution. She had to know what was calling her.

The forest was alive with sounds-the rustle of leaves, the chirp of crickets, the occasional hoot of an owl. But as she ventured deeper, the noises faded, replaced by an eerie silence. Selena paused, the hairs on the back of her neck standing on end. That's when she saw him.

A man stood in the clearing, his back to her, tall and broad-shouldered with a presence that seemed to command the air around him. The moonlight caught in his dark hair, and his stance was tense as if he were listening for something. Selena's foot snapped a twig, and the sound echoed like a gunshot in the quiet.

He turned.

Selena's breath hitched. His face was angular, his features sharp and striking, but his eyes held her captive-a piercing amber that seemed to glow faintly in the dark. He looked at her as if he'd known her forever, but there was something dangerous in his gaze, something that made her want to run and stay at the same time.

"You shouldn't be here," he said, his voice deep and edged with warning.

"Neither should you," Selena shot back, though her voice wavered slightly. She tried to sound confident, but the truth was, she wasn't sure why she was there at all.

The man's lips twitched, almost forming a smile, but the tension in his posture didn't ease. "Go home. The woods aren't safe at night."

Selena crossed her arms. "I've lived here my whole life. I think I'd know if there was something to be afraid of."

Before he could respond, a low, haunting howl echoed through the trees. Selena froze, her blood turning cold. It wasn't like the howls she'd heard in her dreams. This one was real, and it sounded close.

The man stepped toward her, his movements fluid and almost predatory. "Go. Now."

"What about you?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.

He hesitated, his jaw tightening. "I'll be fine."

Another howl rang out, this time closer. Selena didn't need any more convincing. She turned and hurried back down the path, glancing over her shoulder once. The man was gone, as if he'd vanished into the shadows.

Back at her cabin, Selena locked the door and leaned against it, her heart racing. Who was he? And why did she feel like her life had just shifted in a way she couldn't understand?

She climbed into bed, her mind spinning with questions. But as her eyes closed, the dreams came again. This time, they were sharper, more vivid. The wolf with golden eyes stood before her, but its form shifted, melting into the man from the woods. His amber gaze bore into hers, and she felt an undeniable connection, like a thread pulling them together.

When she woke, the sun was rising, and the dream was already fading. But one thing was clear: her life in Silverpine was no longer the quiet, uneventful existence she'd known. Something was coming. And it had everything to do with the man in the woods.

Selena didn't know whether to be afraid or exhilarated. Perhaps both.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
