Short Synopsis: Moonbound Liora Veyne, a human touched by the moon goddess Selys, is sent to the Nightfang stronghold as the fated mate of Alpha Kael Nightfang, tasked with uniting the werewolf clans against the Void-a darkness that razed her village. When Kael rejects their bond, humiliated Liora vows to prove her worth. Guided by Torin, a half-elf druid, she faces a deadly trial in the haunted Fangwood to retrieve a sacred Moonstone. As her lunar magic grows and visions of the Void's sinister entity intensify, Liora's resolve strengthens. Kael, torn by duty and their lingering bond, must confront his choice as the Void threatens all packs. In a world of divine magic and ancient prophecies, Liora's fight to rise as a Lunari could save-or doom-them all in this epic fantasy romance of destiny and redemption.

Chosen by the moon, rejected by the alpha Chapter 1 The rejection

The moon hung low over the Nightfang stronghold, a silver orb casting shadows across the stone courtyard. Liora stood at its center, her borrowed cloak too thin against the autumn chill. Her silver hair, a mark of Selys's touch, glowed faintly, drawing whispers from the gathered pack. Wolves, human-formed but with eyes like embers, lined the walls, their gazes sharp with curiosity and distrust. She felt like prey, though the goddess had promised she was more.

Kael Nightfang stood on the dais, his broad frame silhouetted against torchlight. His dark hair fell in waves to his shoulders, and his eyes-gold flecked with storm-gray-fixed on her with an intensity that made her breath catch. He was beautiful, in the way a blade was beautiful: sharp, unyielding, dangerous. The bond, that inexplicable pull Selys had woven between them, thrummed in Liora's chest, urging her closer. But his expression was cold, a wall of ice between them.

"Speak, human," Kael said, his voice a low growl that echoed off the stones. "Why has the moon goddess sent you to my pack?"

Liora swallowed, her hands trembling at her sides. She'd practiced this moment in her mind since the druids sent her here, but words felt like sand in her mouth. "I am Liora Veyne, chosen as a Lunari by Selys. She has tasked me with uniting the packs to face a coming darkness-the Void." Her voice wavered but held, bolstered by the memory of her village burning, of the Void's creatures tearing through her home. "I am your fated mate, Alpha Kael, bound by the goddess to stand at your side."

A murmur rippled through the pack, some scoffing, others snarling. A tall woman with red hair-Sylva, Kael's beta-stepped forward, her lip curled. "A human? Selys mocks us. The Nightfangs need no frail outsider to lead us."

Liora's cheeks burned, but she held her ground. "I am no ordinary human. Selys has given me her light." She raised her hand, willing the magic to answer. A soft glow sparked at her fingertips, flickering like moonlight on water. The crowd stilled, but Kael's face darkened.

"Enough," he said, descending the dais. His boots thudded against the stone, each step closing the distance between them. The bond pulsed, a thread of warmth that made her heart ache. She wanted to reach for him, to believe the goddess's promise that they were meant to be. But his eyes held no softness, only judgment.

"You claim to be my mate," he said, stopping an arm's length away. His presence was overwhelming, all muscle and heat, the scent of pine and iron clinging to him. "You claim a destiny to lead my pack. Yet you stand here, barely able to wield your so-called gift. What proof do you offer, beyond a goddess's whim?"

Liora's throat tightened. "I-I saw the Void in a vision. It's coming, Kael. It will destroy everything unless we stand together. Selys chose me for a reason."

His laugh was bitter, a sound that cut deeper than any blade. "Selys chooses poorly, then. I need no human to save my pack. And I will not be bound to one who cannot even stand as my equal." He turned to the crowd, his voice rising. "I, Kael Nightfang, reject this bond. I reject Liora Veyne as my mate."

The words struck like a physical blow, the bond in Liora's chest snapping taut, then fraying. Pain lanced through her, hot and raw, and she stumbled back, clutching her heart. The pack roared, some in approval, others in shock. Sylva smirked, but a young man with green eyes-Torin, the half-elf druid who'd escorted her here-stepped forward, his hand steadying her elbow.

"Liora," Torin whispered, his voice gentle. "Breathe."

She couldn't. The rejection was more than words; it was a tearing of her soul, a betrayal of the goddess's promise. Tears stung her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. Not here, not in front of him.

Kael's gaze flickered, a shadow of something-regret, perhaps-crossing his face before it hardened again. "Take her to the guest quarters," he ordered Torin. "She may stay until the council decides her fate. But she is no mate of mine."

As Torin led her away, the pack's jeers followed, a chorus of scorn. Liora's magic flared unbidden, a pulse of light that cracked the stone at her feet. The crowd gasped, and Kael's head snapped toward her, his eyes narrowing. For a moment, their gazes locked, and she saw it: a flicker of doubt in the Alpha's resolve.

But it was too late. The bond was broken, her heart with it. As Torin guided her through the stronghold's shadowed halls, Liora made a silent vow. She would prove herself, not for Kael, but for herself. The Void was coming, and she would face it, mate or no mate, goddess or no goddess.

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

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.
