In the heart of a forest where the wild creatures roam, there exists a clan of werewolves, each bound by the ancient laws of their kind. Among them is a young female werewolf, Aria, who is the embodiment of strength and grace, though she is unaware of her true power. Orphaned at a young age and taken in by her father's new wife, Aria's life has been one of suffering. Her stepmother, Selene, and her stepsister, Lila, have made it their mission to belittle and abuse her, treating her as nothing more than a servant in their lavish home. But Aria's suffering runs deeper than mere cruelty. Betrayal has poisoned the very roots of her trust. Her best friend, Zara, whom she has confided in and loved as a sister, has turned against her in the most painful way imaginable. Zara's betrayal has shattered Aria's heart and left her isolated from everyone she once cared for. The story takes a turn when Aria discovers that her stepsister, Lila, is set to marry Dante, a man whom everyone believes is weak and poor. Lila is ecstatic, thinking she has won the favor of the most powerful man in the region. However, what no one knows is that Dante's true identity is far more dangerous and powerful than anyone could ever imagine. He is not the poor, helpless man he seems to be but rather a formidable figure with immense wealth and influence, capable of changing the fate of all who dare to cross him. What's worse, Aria's stepmother, Selene, has her own plans for the marriage. Instead of Lila, Selene wants Aria to marry Dante. With this marriage, she believes she can secure her own position of power and wealth. But what Selene doesn't understand is that Aria is not a pawn to be manipulated. As Aria's journey unfolds, she uncovers hidden truths about her lineage, her powers, and the betrayal that runs deeper than she could have ever imagined. With the help of unlikely allies, Aria must navigate the treacherous politics of the werewolf world, reclaim her power, and confront the darkest truths of her life. Will she rise above her suffering and take control of her destiny, or will she fall victim to the machinations of those who wish to control her? The Silver Moon's Betrayal is a tale of power, love, vengeance, and self-discovery, where the stakes are as high as the full moon that rises over the forest. Aria must choose between love and duty, between the family that has betrayed her and the man who could either save or destroy her. Will the moon's light shine on her path to redemption, or will darkness consume her?
The moon hung high in the night sky, its silver light casting an ethereal glow over the dense forest that surrounded the sprawling estate. Aria stood by the window of her room, staring out into the vast expanse of the woods, her heart heavy with a weight only she seemed to carry. The winds rustled through the trees, whispering secrets that only those attuned to the world's magic could hear. Aria was one of them, though she had not yet unlocked the full potential of her own abilities.
Her pale fingers traced the edge of the windowsill, the cold wood beneath her touch offering little comfort. The night had always been her solace. In the dark, she could pretend-pretend that she wasn't a servant in her own home, that she wasn't the unwanted child, cast aside by her father and forced to live under the thumb of a cruel stepmother.
Selene, her stepmother, had always made her feel like an outsider. The woman's eyes, sharp and calculating, bore into Aria's soul, reading her every move like a book. The constant reprimands, the sneers, the harsh words-they were all part of the daily ritual. Aria wasn't allowed to forget that she was nothing more than an orphaned inconvenience.
Lila, her stepsister, was no better. The girl was beautiful, with long, flowing chestnut hair and the kind of smile that could melt anyone's heart. But beneath her sweetness was a coldness that Aria had learned to recognize all too well. Lila didn't just tolerate Aria's presence; she relished in making her feel small, insignificant. Every day was a competition, and Aria was always the one who lost.
The sound of footsteps in the hallway jolted Aria from her thoughts. She stiffened, glancing nervously toward the door. Her heart raced. It was late, and everyone else had gone to bed. But she knew better than to believe she was safe in her own room.
A knock on the door echoed through the stillness. Aria stood frozen for a moment, unsure if she should answer. But before she could make up her mind, the door creaked open, and there stood Selene, her figure silhouetted by the dim light from the hallway.
"Aria," her stepmother's voice was smooth, like velvet, but there was a sharpness beneath it that sent a chill down Aria's spine. "What are you doing here?"
Aria didn't respond immediately. She knew better than to make eye contact. Any sign of defiance would only provoke her stepmother further.
"I was just... admiring the view," Aria replied, her voice soft, careful not to upset the fragile peace that had settled between them.
Selene's eyes narrowed. "Admiring the view, hmm? Well, you can admire it from the kitchen tomorrow morning when you prepare breakfast. You've been lazy lately. Don't think I haven't noticed."
Aria bit her lip, holding back the words that threatened to spill out. She wanted to scream, to demand why she was being treated this way, but she knew it would do no good. Selene's cruelty was a constant, a fixture in Aria's life that she had long since learned to endure in silence.
Selene stepped closer, her heels clicking against the wooden floor. "And don't think I haven't heard about your little escapades with Zara. I know what you're doing, Aria. I know you're trying to make a fool of me, trying to make alliances in this house. But don't forget your place. You are nothing here. Do you understand?"
Aria's hands clenched into fists at her sides, but she said nothing. She couldn't afford to show weakness, not now. Not when every part of her was screaming to fight back, to break free from the invisible chains that bound her to this place.
Selene stared at her for a long moment, as if waiting for some sign of rebellion. When none came, the older woman sighed, her lips curling into a smirk. "Good. Now, go to bed. Tomorrow will be another busy day for you."
Without another word, Selene turned and exited the room, leaving the door slightly ajar. Aria exhaled slowly, the tension in her shoulders unwinding only a fraction. She couldn't remember the last time she had felt truly safe or at peace in this house. It had been years since her father had passed away, leaving her with only memories of the man she once loved and the cruel legacy of the woman who had replaced him.
Aria moved to the bed and lay down, staring up at the ceiling. Her thoughts drifted to her father's passing, a tragedy that had left her vulnerable. She had been just a child when it happened, and his death had been a turning point in her life. Since then, Selene had seized control, and Lila had become the perfect little princess, demanding attention and gifts, while Aria was left to clean up the messes they created. She had always been the outsider, the unwanted one.
But there was something inside Aria that refused to be broken. Even in the darkest moments, a flicker of defiance burned within her. She knew she was stronger than Selene and Lila realized. She wasn't some fragile creature to be toyed with.
The moonlight through the window seemed to respond to her thoughts, casting a soft glow over her face. Aria closed her eyes and imagined the freedom she longed for. A life where she was more than just a servant, a life where her powers, which she had yet to fully understand, could be embraced.
It wasn't just a dream. She could feel it-the shift in the air, the stirring of something ancient within her. The full moon was near, and with it, the chance to reclaim what was rightfully hers.
But for now, she had to bide her time. She had to endure the torment and the pain, for one day, she would be more than just the girl in the shadows.
And when that day came, she would make sure everyone knew her true strength.

Maya Evans has spent the entirety of her twenty-four years living under the suffocating expectations of her family. Raised by her aunt Ruth, who often treated her less like a niece and more like a pawn in her own personal game of control, Maya has always struggled to find her own voice. Her stepfather, Martin, is no less oppressive, constantly reminding her that her worth in life lies in her ability to secure a wealthy and stable marriage. His disapproval is the invisible hand that pushes her toward a life she feels she has no say in - a life bound by obligation and dictated by her family's rigid standards. Living in a small coastal town where everyone knows everyone's business, Maya feels the weight of her family's expectations pressing down on her every single day. It's a place that's picturesque and serene on the outside, but beneath the surface, it's a prison where the unspoken rule is that women marry for security, not for love. Maya's every move is watched. Her every action scrutinized. Yet, no matter how hard she works at the quaint café that's become her safe haven, or how hard she tries to make peace with the life they've chosen for her, she cannot escape the feeling that something essential is missing - a sense of autonomy, a chance to define her own path. Her family, particularly her aunt Ruth, has arranged for her to marry George, a man they insist is her only ticket to stability. He's wealthy, successful, and well-established, but Maya feels nothing for him except resentment and frustration. George's controlling nature, his condescending attitude, and the stark age difference between them make her skin crawl. But in her family's eyes, George represents the security that Maya has been conditioned to believe she needs. And so, she remains silent, hoping the engagement will be a distant memory in her mind's eye, even as she counts the days until her escape. One evening, after yet another heated dinner with her family, Maya meets Ethan Blackwood, a man who will change the course of her life. He's nothing like the men her family wants for her - in fact, he seems to have no place in the world she's known. Ethan is an enigma, a stranger in town with a quiet intensity that both unsettles and intrigues her. With his dark hair, sharp features, and the faintest hint of melancholy in his eyes, Ethan radiates an air of mystery that makes her question everything she's ever believed about love, security, and happiness. From the moment Maya and Ethan meet, there's an undeniable connection, one that both frightens and excites her. He treats her with respect and kindness, seeing her not as an object to be managed but as a person, a woman worthy of her own choices. For the first time, Maya feels seen and heard, not for her family's plans or her status as a "good match," but as herself - a woman with desires, dreams, and a heart that yearns for more than what's been offered to her. Every encounter with Ethan feels like a breath of fresh air, a glimpse into a world where she could be free from the weight of her family's expectations. However, as Maya begins to open her heart to Ethan, she begins to notice strange things about him - his reluctance to talk about his past, his frequent absences, and the air of mystery that surrounds him. It isn't until a chance encounter with a business associate of his that Maya learns the truth: Ethan is not just a charming stranger. He's a billionaire, one of the wealthiest men in the world, hiding from the press, the constant pressure of his family, and the suffocating demands of his high-profile life. The revelation shocks Maya to her core, not because she's repelled by his wealth, but because it's another layer of deceit that forces her to question everything about him. Had he been using her? Did he ever truly care for her, or was this another game for him to play? As their relationship deepens, so does the distance between them, and Maya is left questioning whether the man she's begun to fall for has been truthful with her at all. At the same time, Maya's family becomes more insistent about George, pressuring her to accept his proposal and end this rebellious phase of her life. Her aunt Ruth has made it clear that she will no longer be tolerated as a free spirit, and that her future lies with George. Martin, too, reiterates that a man like George is the only chance Maya has to escape a life of hardship and uncertainty. The pressure mounts, and Maya is torn between the man she's come to care for - a man who holds secrets she's not sure she can trust - and her family's manipulative plans. In the midst of this emotional turmoil, Maya must make a choice. Does she follow her heart, trusting Ethan even when everything she's known and been told seems to be unraveling? Or does she submit to the life her family has laid out for her, knowing she'll never feel the same way about George? Can she forgive Ethan's lies, or has she been blinded by her need for love and acceptance?

Everyone was shocked to the bones when the news of Rupert Benton's engagement broke out. It was surprising because the lucky girl was said to be a plain Jane, who grew up in the countryside and had nothing to her name. One evening, she showed up at a banquet, stunning everyone present. "Wow, she's so beautiful!" All the men drooled, and the women got so jealous. What they didn't know was that this so-called country girl was actually an heiress to a billion-dollar empire. It wasn't long before her secrets came to light one after the other. The elites couldn't stop talking about her. "Holy smokes! So, her father is the richest man in the world?" "She's also that excellent, but mysterious designer who many people adore! Who would have guessed?" Nonetheless, people thought that Rupert didn't love her. But they were in for another surprise. Rupert released a statement, silencing all the naysayers. "I'm very much in love with my beautiful fiancee. We will be getting married soon." Two questions were on everyone's minds: "Why did she hide her identity? And why was Rupert in love with her all of a sudden?"
"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
