Blood Moon's Chosen: Believed Dead, the Alpha King Awakens Only to Her Touch
elenadeon1978 · Ongoing · 58.9k Words
Introduction
"You're the only one who can wake me. Now you'll carry my curse, and my crown."
When Aria Silverthorn's fiancé and stepsister publicly accused her of being Omega-born fraud, stripping her rank and dignity, she lost everything. Cast into the Forsaken Lands to die, she survived three months of hell—and desperation drove her to the forbidden Moonfall Crypt, where Alpha King Kael Nightfang has been entombed for five years.
The Council claims he died heroically. The truth? They poisoned him with wolfsbane silver, trapping him in death-sleep when he discovered their corruption.
When Aria touches his tomb seeking shelter, the impossible happens. He wakes—but only she can anchor him to life. Only her touch keeps him from slipping back into the void. Their bond is immediate, undeniable, and dangerous.
Kael should be dead. The Council made sure of it. For five years, his consciousness has been trapped between life and death, aware of every agonizing moment.
Until Aria.
She's his anchor. His prison. His salvation. And he's not letting her go, not when she's the key to his revenge and reclaiming his throne.
But their bond goes deeper than magic. They're true mates,a connection so rare it hasn't occurred in centuries. A bond the Council will kill to prevent, because true mates can challenge their entire corrupt system.
Chapter 1
Aria's POV
The champagne glass shattered against the marble floor.
I froze mid-laugh, watching golden liquid spread across pristine white stone like blood. Around me, three hundred guests fell silent. The orchestra's violins died with a screech.
Aria Silverthorn. Commander Thorne's voice cut through the ballroom like a blade. You're under arrest for fraud.
My heart stopped.
The main doors had crashed open. Twenty Council Guards flooded inside, silver weapons gleaming under crystal chandeliers. Commander Thorne stood at their center—tall, scarred, her face carved from stone and cruelty.
This couldn't be happening. Not tonight. Not at my engagement celebration.
There must be a mistake, I said, but my voice came out small and scared. I hated how weak I sounded.
Damon's hand tightened on mine. My fiancé—strong, handsome Damon with his warm brown eyes and gentle smile. He'd make this right. He'd tell them they were wrong.
No mistake. Thorne marched forward, boots echoing like thunder. She pulled out an official-looking document covered in red seals. Aria Silverthorn has been living a lie. She claims Beta rank, but evidence proves she's Omega-born.
Gasps erupted around me. Someone whispered Omega trash just loud enough to hear.
Heat flooded my face. That's not true!
Isn't it? Thorne thrust the paper toward my adoptive father, Lord Marcus Silverthorn. He stood near the gift table, his face turning purple with rage. Birth records don't lie. Your 'daughter' has been deceiving everyone for twenty-three years.
The room spun. This was insane. I was Beta-born. My parents died when I was a baby, but Father's family took me in. Raised me as their own. Gave me the Silverthorn name.
I looked at Father, desperate. Tell them. Tell them who I am!
Father's jaw worked. His hands clenched into fists. But he said nothing.
Cold dread settled in my stomach.
We found additional evidence in her quarters. Thorne snapped her fingers. Two guards dragged forward a wooden chest. They dumped it out. Papers scattered across the floor—documents with my handwriting, receipts, letters.
Forged birth certificates, Thorne announced, picking one up. Stolen official seals. Records of bribes paid to clerks to hide her real bloodline. She smiled, cruel and sharp. Quite the elaborate scheme.
I've never seen those before! My voice cracked. Someone planted them! This is a setup!
Everyone claims innocence, Thorne said, bored. But evidence doesn't lie.
The crowd murmured. Disapproving. Disgusted. People I'd known my whole life stared at me like I was something dirty they'd stepped in.
Damon. I grabbed his arm, desperate. Tell them. You know me. You know I wouldn't—
He pulled his arm free.
I stared at him. Damon?
His face was carefully blank. No anger. No surprise. Just... nothing. Like he was watching a stranger.
Damon, please.
I can't help you, Aria. His voice was flat. If the evidence says
The evidence is fake! I screamed. Tears burned my eyes. Someone set me up! Don't you care? We're getting married!
Were getting married, he corrected quietly. Too quietly. Like he'd practiced that line.
The world tilted sideways.
Ari... My stepsister Lyanna pushed through the crowd. Beautiful Lyanna with her golden hair and kind eyes. She looked like she'd been crying. Oh, Ari, I'm so sorry.
Relief crashed through me. Lyanna would help. She was my sister. My best friend. We'd shared everything since Father adopted me—secrets, clothes, dreams. She loved me.
Lyanna, tell them! I grabbed her hands. Tell them this is crazy!
Her lip trembled. Fresh tears spilled down her cheeks. I can't. I... Ari, I tried to protect you. I really did. But I can't ignore what I found.
My blood turned to ice. What?
I'm the one who discovered the documents. Her voice broke. In your room, hidden under the floorboards. At first I thought someone else put them there. I wanted to believe it wasn't true. But then I found more evidence. And more. And I... She sobbed. I had to tell Father. I had to tell the Council. I couldn't let you keep lying.
The floor dropped out from under me.
You? I whispered. You did this to me?
I'm so sorry. She squeezed my hands like we were still friends. Like she wasn't destroying my life. But it's better this way. Better than living a lie forever.
I yanked my hands free. How could you?
Before she could answer, Supreme Councilor Matthias stood from his seat at the high table. He was ancient and powerful, with silver hair and eyes like chips of ice.
The evidence is clear. His voice carried across the silent ballroom. Aria Silverthorn—or whatever her real name is—has committed fraud against the Seven Territories. She falsified her rank, deceived a noble family, and attempted to marry above her station through lies and manipulation.
No! I tried to run, but guards grabbed my arms. Please! I didn't do anything!
Matthias ignored me. As Supreme Councilor, I hereby strip this woman of the Silverthorn name and all associated rights and privileges.
Father finally spoke. I disown her. His voice shook with rage. She is no daughter of mine. I want her removed from my sight.
Pain stabbed through my chest so sharp I couldn't breathe.
The sentence for rank fraud is exile, Matthias continued. She will be cast into the Forsaken Lands at dawn.
The Forsaken Lands. Where exiles went to die. Where rogues and monsters ruled. No one survived there.
You're sentencing me to death! I screamed.
I'm giving you what you deserve. Matthias's smile was colder than winter. Take her away.
Guards dragged me toward the doors. I fought, screaming, begging. The crowd parted like I carried plague.
Through blurred tears, I saw Lyanna watching me go. For just a second, her sad expression slipped.
She smiled.
Quick and triumphant and vicious, before the mask of grief snapped back into place.
Then Damon stepped up beside her. His hand found hers. Their fingers intertwined.
And I understood.
They'd planned this. Together. My fiancé and my sister had destroyed me.
Why? I choked out.
Lyanna leaned into Damon's shoulder. He kissed her temple, tender and familiar. Like they'd done this a thousand times before.
Like I'd never mattered at all.
Commander Thorne grabbed my hair and yanked my head back. One more sound and I'll cut out your tongue.
The last thing I saw before they dragged me into the darkness was Lyanna wearing my engagement ring.
The one Damon had given me just hours ago.

Mated To My Nemesis
Agnes Tremaine arrived in Melbourne with a camera but no backstory in this world. She was meant to document one season. She never realized she was already the blueprint — that the connections, the open doors, and the meticulous arrangements were all built specifically for her, tailored and designed to use her.
Ace had a nine-year revenge in the making. A journalist had destroyed his sister's life and left no fingerprints. Now the man's daughter was standing in his garage with a camera, and Ace had been the one to open the door.
His wolf chooses a mate he never wanted and couldn't shake — not in the paddock, not on the track, not even at 200mph where nothing else had ever followed him before.
For the first time in his life, he couldn't have it all.
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?

They would dance the night away, but as dawn approached, he would vanish into the morning sun.
Lilly had given up hope of finding a mate, having a family, and leading a normal life.
But things are about to drastically change for her...

What if Lilly wasn't wolf-less? What if it was all a lie?
What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?

But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps. She doesn't just want out of the marriage; she wants her life back. With a secret talent for design and a newfound resolve, she walks away from the gilded cage of his estate.
But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.

Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.

Mating Moon
The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.
