"They called her a nobody. They tried to break her spirit. But destiny had other plans." Elara Moonstone's mundane life shatters when she learns of her royal Lycan lineage. Thrust into a world of magic, politics, and danger, she must embrace her true self to unite warring factions and reclaim her throne. With powerful allies by her side and love complicating her path, Elara's journey is one of self-discovery, resilience, and destiny.
Elara Moonstone had learned early how to disappear.
It was safer in the shadows behind lockers, behind crowds, behind her silence. In a town that saw her as strange, she wore invisibility like a second skin. There was no record of where she came from, no childhood photos, no teary relatives to claim her when she was dropped at the doorstep of the Harrow family at six years old with nothing but a small pendant and a name.
And Harrows... they were not kind.
The house on Morrow Street was cold even when the furnace ran. Mr. Harrow worked nights and drank days. Mrs. Harrow smoked in the living room, watched soap operas, and pretended Elara didn't exist unless it was to scrub something. Their son, Garrett, three years older, treated her like a haunted rumour-when he wasn't mocking her strange dreams or whispering "freak" in the school halls.
But Elara didn't cry. Not anymore.
She walked the world quietly, tucked behind a wall of numbness. She got good grades, but not the kind that earned praise. She read books, but not the ones people traded in class. She drew things-ancient trees, wolves with glowing eyes, moons splintered like glass-never knowing why they lived in her head.
Until the day she turned eighteen.

It started with the dream.
She stood barefoot in a field of black flowers, the sky a velvet curtain of stars. A wolf with silver eyes approached her, silent, reverent. Behind it, a figure cloaked in shadow watched, unmoving. The wolf bowed. The figure vanished. And when she looked down, the flowers had turned to ash.
She woke breathless. And then she screamed.
Because glowing on her shoulder, just below the collarbone, was a mark she had never seen before-circular, etched in what looked like light itself. The shape of a crescent moon with a slash through it.
Panic gripped her chest.
She scrubbed at it. Nothing. She tried to cover it. It bled through the fabric like a hidden truth finally revealed.
"Elara!" Mrs. Harrow's voice banged at the door. "What are you doing in there?"
"Nothing," she lied, throwing on a hoodie and hiding the mark as best she could.
The school that day was a blur. Her skin itched beneath her hoodie, the mark pulsing like a second heartbeat. People stared more than usual. Garrett laughed louder. But something was different. She could feel it. Like her senses had sharpened overnight.
She could smell emotions, anxiety, desire, and fear. Hear heartbeats in the silence. And worst of all, she could feel something watching her. Not from school. Not from town. From something older. Something hungry.
After her last class, she bolted, the need to get home replaced by the instinct to hide.
She didn't make it.
The first attacker came from the woods behind the parking lot. He was faster than any human, but she saw him coming. Tall, cloaked, with glowing amber eyes. He snarled as he lunged.
Elara screamed, stumbled back, and the mark on her shoulder blazed.
The man recoiled like he'd touched fire. But another appeared from the side. Then a third.
She ran. Through the forest, her breath slicing her lungs. She tripped over roots, mud clinging to her legs. Her vision blurred, heart racing like it wanted out of her chest. They were gaining.
She was going to die. Alone. Without answers. Without even knowing why.
And then he appeared.
______________________________________________
A blur of motion. A figure clad in black and silver, eyes glowing like the moon. He moved like smoke and thunder. One attacker fell. Then another. The last tried to run but was yanked back and silenced.
The forest went still.
Elara could barely breathe. She stared at the stranger, heart thudding in her ears.
He turned to her. Stepped into the moonlight.
His voice was calm, dangerous, and familiar in a way that made her bones shiver.
"You don't know what you are yet," he said. "But they do."
She took a step back.
"Who... who are you?"
The man tilted his head, gaze piercing.
"Kael Thorne," he said. "Your guardian. And if we don't leave now, more will come."
She wanted to ask a hundred questions. She wanted to scream that this was insane.
But something inside her-ancient and buried-whispered: Trust him.
So she did.
And in that moment, Elara Moonstone stepped out of the shadows for the first time.
Rumors claimed that Fernanda, newly back with her family, was nothing more than a violent country bumpkin. Fernanda just flashed a casual, dismissive grin in response. Another rumor suggested that the usually rational Cristian had lost all sense, madly in love with Fernanda. This frustrated her. She could tolerate gossip about herself, but slander against her beloved crossed the line! Gradually, as Fernanda's multiple identities as a celebrated designer, a savvy gamer, an acclaimed painter, and a successful business magnate came to light, everyone realized they were the ones who had been fooled.
Maria took her sister’s place and was engaged to Anthony, a disabled man who had lost his status as the family heir. At first, they were just a nominal couple. However, things changed when things about Maria were gradually exposed. It turned out she was a professional hacker, a mysterious composer, and the sole successor to an international jade sculpting master… The more that was revealed about her, the less Anthony could rest easy. A famous singer, an award-winning actor, an heir of a rich family—so many excellent men were chasing after his fiancee, Maria. What should Anthony do?
Desperate to handle her grandmother's towering medical bills, Gianna agreed to a contract marriage with Tristan, the enigmatic man she'd once shared a one-night stand with. She assumed they'd fulfill each other's needs and dissolve the arrangement once the terms expired. Unbeknownst to Gianna, this marriage was a dream Tristan had clung to for ten relentless years. Certain she was just filling someone else's role, Gianna prepared to leave when that other woman returned. But Tristan, his eyes burning with unspoken emotion, seized her trembling hand and declared, "You’re mine. Now and always."
Life was a bed of roses for Debra, the daughter of Alpha. That was until she had a one-night stand with Caleb. She was sure he was her mate as determined by Moon Goddess. But this hateful man refused to accept her. Weeks passed before Debra discovered that she was pregnant. Her pregnancy brought shame to her and everyone she loved. Not only was she driven out, but her father was also hunted down by usurpers. Fortunately, she survived with the help of the mysterious Thorn Edge Pack. Five years passed and Debra didn't hear anything from Caleb. One day, their paths crossed again. They were both on the same mission—carrying out secret investigations in the dangerous Roz Town for the safety and posterity of their respective packs. Caleb was still cold toward her. But as time went on, he fell head over heels in love with her. He tried to make up for abandoning her, but Debra wasn't having any of it.

Would Caleb win Debra's heart and get to know his lovely daughter? Find out!
She thought she was the love of his life, and he became the love of her life that fateful day she had seen him at the pack's party. Selene Grace was only a replica of Alpha Leo's real mate, and when he spotted her, Leo immediately claimed her as his Luna in order to suppress the rumors of him being mateless. Being unable to conceive turns Selene's marriage into a nightmare, and as if that wasn't enough, Alpha Leo finally reunites with his long time lover and mate, rejecting a pregnant Selene as a result. 5 years later, Selene, a now successful doctor, receives an invitation to the moon shadow pack in order to rid the pack of a deadly disease which has struck it. Will Selene return back to the pack which had caused her so much pain, and what would she do when she realizes that she is mated to the Alpha who had betrayed her in the past?
Mia's life is spiraling out of control. Abandoned by her mother, bullied mercilessly at school, and thrown into a household of four dangerously attractive stepbrothers, she's desperate to find her footing. "You look absolutely edible," Sean growled, his eyes devouring her. Mia felt a rush of heat between her thighs "Oh, you think so?" she purred, turning to face him. She reached out and traced her fingers along the ribbon that wrapped around his waist. "Well, I've been waiting for this all day. And I'm starving." Sean's smile grew into a predatory grin. "Then let us feast," he said, and in a flash, the ribbon fell away, exposing his rock-hard length. He stepped closer, and Mia felt the warmth of his breath on her face as he whispered, "You're going to take every inch of us tonight, aren't you?" With Rolex's teasing smirk and Sean's quiet, hot stares, Mia doesn't know where to turn-or who to trust. Every glance, every touch leaves her breathless, confused, and craving more than she should. Will Mia survive their games, or will she lose herself in a dangerous world of secrets, seduction, and forbidden desire? One house. Four brothers. Endless temptation.
