OWNED BY THE MOON KING

The moon chooses a mate for its immortal king every century-and Arielle was never supposed to be the one. A low-ranked wolf with no power, no status, her quiet life shatters the night an ancient mate bond awakens, pulling the ruthless Moon King straight to her doorstep. Bound by a fate neither can break, she's dragged into his world of blood-soaked laws, buried secrets, and an Alpha who believes destiny gives him the right to own her. But Arielle is no prize-and the Moon King is about to learn that controlling her is easy... trusting her, and craving her, is not. As enemies close in and the moon demands its price, desire turns lethal. Survival means surrendering to a love neither planned for-one that could rewrite their fated bond entirely. Because the moon never makes mistakes... or does it?

Blood and Shadows

The night was alive with tension. The forest seemed to hold its breath, every rustle of leaves, every snap of a twig echoing like a warning. Arielle's pulse raced, not just from fear, but from the pressure of the bond that hummed beneath her skin. She could feel the Moon King's presence even when he stepped back, a tether of power and possession that made her heart thud painfully in her chest.

"They won't stop," he murmured, voice low and commanding. Silver eyes scanned the perimeter as rival wolves crept closer, their glowing eyes burning with malice. "The council sent them. They want you gone."

Arielle's stomach twisted. "I-what can I do?" she asked, panic lacing her voice. The bond pulsed fiercely, reacting to her fear, and a warmth surged through her veins, wild and unsteady.

"You will survive," he said, stepping closer. His hand brushed hers lightly, possessive and grounding. The touch sent a shiver through her body, a reminder that she was tethered to him in ways she didn't yet fully understand. "Trust the bond. Trust me."

The rival wolves lunged, breaking from the shadows with teeth bared and claws extended. Arielle froze, heart hammering in her ears. The world slowed, her senses heightened-the bond thrummed, guiding her movements, filling her with a strange courage. She barely understood the power flowing through her, but instinct told her to react.

A surge of light flared from the crescent mark on her neck. The nearest wolf yelped as an invisible force threw it backward, snapping the pack into chaos. Arielle's eyes widened. She had done that? Somehow, the bond had channeled the Moon King's power through her.

"Good," he said, voice low, dangerous, his silver eyes gleaming. "You are learning faster than I expected."

The battle was over almost as quickly as it began. The rival wolves retreated, snarling, leaving the territory silent once again. Arielle's knees weakened, and she sank to the ground, trembling from adrenaline and exhaustion. The bond pulsed warmly, soothing her, yet leaving her senses on fire.

He knelt beside her, his hands brushing her hair from her face, brushing away dirt and sweat. "You were magnificent," he whispered, his tone possessive, proud. "Do you understand now what it means to belong to me?"

Arielle's throat tightened. She wanted to say no. She wanted to scream, to deny the undeniable pull she felt. But the warmth of the bond, the protective weight of him beside her, the thrill of survival intertwined with his possessive touch-it was impossible.

"Yes," she whispered, voice trembling. "I... I think I understand."

He smiled, dark and predatory, yet with a tenderness reserved only for her. "Good. Because the bond does not forgive hesitation. It does not allow weakness. And neither do I."

Her pulse quickened as he leaned closer. The heat of his body, the silver glow of his eyes, the closeness of him-it was overwhelming, intoxicating. She wanted to pull away. She wanted to resist. But the pull of the bond, and of him, was too strong.

"You are mine, Arielle," he murmured, his lips brushing the shell of her ear. "And I will not let the world take you from me. Not now, not ever."

Her heart thudded, caught between fear, desire, and awe. She had survived the forest, the pack, and the rival wolves. But it was him-his claim, his possessiveness, his silent promise-that left her trembling most of all.

For the first time, Arielle realized the truth of the bond: it was not just about protection. It was about power. It was about desire. It was about surrender.

And she wanted to surrender.

From Rejected Omega To The Supreme Luna

8.7

Four years ago, I walked into liquid silver fire to drag the Alpha heir out of a burning wreck. The silver melted the skin off my back, leaving me a topographic nightmare of scars, while my inner wolf went dormant to survive the pain. I thought my sacrifice meant something. But when Julian finally woke from his coma, he didn't look at me with love. He looked at my burns with pure disgust. "Who let this broken Omega in here?" he sneered. He pulled Estelle—the woman who had fled the scene without a scratch—into his arms. "This," he declared, burying his face in her flawless neck, "is the scent of my savior. Not you. You smell like a chemical spill." He treated me like a leper in my own pack. He let his sister slash my dress to expose my "ugly" back to dinner guests. On the day he was forced to marry me for PR, he drove us to the altar with Estelle in the backseat. When she faked a panic attack, claiming the wolfsbane I warned her about was "anxiety," Julian slammed on the brakes in the middle of a storm. "Get out," he commanded, unlocking my door. "Julian, we're ten minutes from the wedding." "Estelle is dying! You selfish monster, get out!" He kicked me out of the Rolls Royce, leaving me standing in the mud in my white silk gown. As his taillights faded, I didn't cry. I closed my eyes and grabbed the frayed bond in my mind. "I, Ember Tucker, reject you, Julian Copeland." Snap. He thought he was discarding a broken toy. He didn't realize he had just rejected the legendary White Wolf—and his only chance at survival.

From Trash To Treasure: Masked Heiress

I was the invisible failure of the Goff family, hiding my medical genius behind a report card full of Fs and a slumped posture. One rainy night, I found a man bleeding out in a dark alley behind the school gymnasium, a knife protruding from his gut. To keep the police from digging into my secrets, I dragged the dying stranger to my bedroom and stitched him up using a hidden surgical kit. I thought I was being careful, but my cousin Cleora caught a glimpse of the blood and immediately alerted my fiancé's wealthy family. By morning, my world collapsed as my future in-laws stormed the manor, throwing an annulment agreement at my feet. They called me a "loose woman" and "million-dollar trash," while my own housekeeper gleefully testified against me. At school, the word "SLUT" was spray-painted across my locker in jagged red letters, and the boy I was supposed to marry looked at me with nothing but cold revulsion. I didn't understand why they were so eager to destroy me before even asking for the truth. I was the one who had spent years protecting this family's reputation, yet they were throwing me to the wolves over a single misunderstanding. I felt a surge of cold fury as I realized my loyalty had been met with nothing but betrayal. Everything changed when the "dying" stranger finally walked down the stairs, shirtless and bandaged, revealing himself as Braylon Lancaster, the most powerful man in the city. He didn't just defend me; he froze my fiancé's entire family fortune with a single phone call. As my in-laws fled in terror, a courier arrived with a five-carat pink diamond from the head of the city's most dangerous crime syndicate. The note read: "The debt is acknowledged." Suddenly, I wasn't just a failure anymore-I was the most sought-after woman in the underworld.

To secure her promotion, he stole my father's priceless hard drive-his entire legacy. When I confronted them, his new girl dropped it into a puddle, destroying it right in front of me. Ezekiel didn't apologize. He shielded her and screamed at me. "Your dad is dead, Finley! Does Blake have to die over some dead guy's broken hard drive?!" He gave me an ultimatum: apologize to her and change my transfer to Austin before the midnight deadline, or else. He thought he had me on lock. But as the clock ticked past midnight, I was on a one-way flight to Dublin, my old SIM card snapped in two. This time, I was choosing my father's legacy over him.
