The Stolen Luna

Introduction
I lay on the cold operating table, listening to the steady beep of the monitor. "Why?" Dr. Wilson's voice trembled as he held my bloody chart. "Why did you try to kill yourself, Lena?"
I stared blankly at the ceiling. "Was there another choice?"
For eighteen years, I was the "wolfless freak." I was the punching bag for my family, the scapegoat for my adopted sister, Serena. When Alpha Aiden—the only man who ever loved me—fell into a coma, they blamed me. They said I was cursed.
They chained me to a silver chair. They whipped my back until I passed out. They watched Serena steal my credit, steal my parents' love, and even steal the man who promised to marry me.
"If I die," I had thought, holding the blade, "at least the pain stops."
Now, my parents rushed in, fake tears streaming down their faces. "Thank the Goddess you're alive! We were just trying to help you break the curse!" My mother cried. But then she leaned in close, whispering the words that finally killed my soul: "But Serena is the future Luna. You can't ruin her reputation with this suicide attempt. Keep your mouth shut."
I looked at them—the people who were supposed to protect me. I didn't cry. I didn't scream. My heart had finally turned to stone.
"Get out," I whispered.
Just then, the door burst open. A guard stood there, panting, eyes wide with terror.
"The Alpha... He's awake. And he's asking for the girl with the scar on her shoulder."
My mother's face went pale. Serena froze.
Because the girl with the scar isn't Serena. It's me.
Chapter 1
"Stay back, you wolfless freak."
Mother Eliza's words cut like a blade as she twisted my arm and shoved me to the outermost ring of the bonfire. I bit my lip, staying silent. Tonight was Aiden's succession ceremony, and I didn't want to embarrass her in front of the pack.
In the flickering firelight, I watched her gaze follow my adopted sister Serena in the front row, her eyes filled with pride and anticipation.
"Look how beautiful she is," Eliza whispered, almost to herself. "If she gets chosen as Luna tomorrow..."
Under the moonlight, Serena truly looked ethereal. I quietly adjusted her wind-blown dress hem. She turned back with a gentle smile.
Pack members gathered around her, whispering: "Traditionally, Alphas choose the first girl to shift as their Luna. Serena has the best chance."
"The little hero who saved Marcus and his wife years ago—her character is perfect for Luna too."
My chest tightened. The little hero who saved my parents? Ten years ago, when the rogue wolf burst into our home, it was me who pushed three-year-old Lucas into safety and threw myself at those claws. The scars on my shoulder still ache when it rains.
The next day, newly adopted Serena had pulled me aside, tears streaming: "Lena, let me say I was the one who saved them, okay? Then they'll really accept me."
Seeing her cry so pitifully, I had nodded.
From that day forward, everyone believed Serena had stood in front of our parents. I became "the coward who hid in the corner." When Serena became the first child in our pack to shift at fifteen, this "heroic deed" was praised even more.
"Serena," came Lucas's voice from behind as he squeezed through the crowd. "The ceremony's about to start. Mom wants you up front."
Watching his excitement, my heart ached. He'd always preferred Serena—I'd known that for years.
"Go ahead," I gently pushed Serena. "Don't keep everyone waiting."
"Aren't you coming with me?" she asked, something unreadable flickering in her eyes.
"I can see fine from here."
The ceremony reached its climax. Aiden was officially crowned Alpha, and thunderous applause erupted. The girls around me gazed at him with infatuation, but his eyes cut through the crowd and found mine.
His lips moved clearly: "Tomorrow's mate ceremony. Wait for me."
I touched the silver moon pendant he'd secretly given me yesterday, my heart racing. We met at the orphanage where we both volunteered monthly to care for the pups. Even knowing I showed no signs of a wolf, he still said he'd marry me.
Eighteen years. Because I had no wolf, I'd always been a burden to this family. But maybe tomorrow, everything would change. They'd always worried about building close ties with the next Alpha—maybe my parents would finally be proud of me.
"Let's go home!" Marcus's cold voice cut through my daydream.
On the way back, I walked beside Serena: "You looked beautiful tonight. I'm sure you'll find your mate tomorrow."
She glanced at me, her expression complex: "Lena, are you really okay with this? I mean... you still haven't shifted."
"Why wouldn't I be?" I smiled genuinely. "You're my sister. Your happiness makes me happy."
At our doorstep, Eliza suddenly stopped.
"Tomorrow's mate ceremony—you're not going."
My heart skipped a beat. "Why not?"
"Someone without a wolf going there would just be embarrassing. Go deliver water to the border patrol instead. Do something useful."
My hands began to tremble. "But—"
"No buts!" She turned to Serena, her voice immediately warm: "Sweetheart, remember to wake up early tomorrow to arrange the altar flowers."
"Yes, Mom," Serena replied obediently, but I caught her stealing a glance at me.
Lucas suddenly grabbed my sleeve: "Sister, I want to see you at the ceremony."
I crouched down, touching his face: "What matters is Serena being happy, right?"
Back in my room, I clutched the silver moon necklace. Tomorrow Aiden would come—he'd never broken a promise.
When that happened, maybe my parents would understand their biological daughter was worth loving too.
I prayed silently: Moon Goddess, let my family be proud of me, just once.
Early the next morning, I'd barely put on my only decent dress when my door burst open.
"Take it off!" Eliza yanked at my dress, shoving me to the ground. "I told you not to go to the ceremony! Go deliver water!"
I silently changed back into my patched old clothes and shouldered the water buckets, thinking I could still sneak to the ceremony after my delivery.
The mountain path felt lighter than usual as I walked, full of anticipation for what would happen in a few hours. Today, he would publicly choose me.
Halfway up the trail, a patrol scout came running down in panic.
"The Alpha's had an accident! He fell from the cliff! We don't know if he's alive!"
The water buckets slipped from my hands and shattered on the rocks.
My world collapsed in that instant.

GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.

Exchanging Vows: The Swapped Wife Is a Top Shaman
Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
The rejected white luna
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.
Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
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?
Lilly’s life was never easy; she lost her memory and family in a blazing fire. Angelica found and took her in—only to make her a slave to the household.
Years of torment and abuse left Lilly weak, vulnerable, and believing she was without a wolf, but that didn't mean that all hope was lost.

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...
Secrets, lies, betrayal... and a baby on the way.
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?
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
