Beneath the Alpha's Moon

Teresa is a timid human whose life has been a series of unfortunate events—until she meets Lucian Blackwood, a very rich and handsome man who awakens a deep, unexplainable connection within her. But Lucian, an alpha werewolf with a haunting past, is repelled by Teresa’s perceived weakness, blaming weakness for the tragedy that shaped his life. Unable to accept her as his mate, he rejects and humiliates her, leaving Teresa shattered. Just as she’s picking up the pieces, Adrian Daegon, an ancient vampire with his own dark allure, steps into her life, determined to win her heart. Now, Lucian is torn with regret, desperate to reclaim the woman he cast aside. But to do so, he must face a powerful vampire and confront his own fears—while somehow convincing Teresa to forgive his betrayal and reignite their lost bond. Can love and redemption overcome the scars of rejection, or has Lucian's cruel mistake cost him his mate forever? Torn between two powerful forces, Teresa must decide where her true destiny lies—in the fierce grip of the wolf who scorned her or the dark embrace of the vampire who vows to adore her.

The Set Up

LUCIAN'S P.O.V.

As Teresa led me into my room, I felt the tension rolling off her in waves. Her hand was firm but gentle as she guided me toward the bed, a blend of resolve and hesitation in every step. When we reached the edge, she softly said, "Sit," and I obliged, sinking into the mattress.

She moved to take the baby from my arms. "I'll put her to bed in my room. You should get some rest," she said, her tone clipped but civil. Always civil—so painfully civil these days.

"I, uh…" I hesitated, scratching the back of my neck. Ares growled in frustration. "Say it, you fool!"

I tightened my hold on the baby, cradling my child against my chest. "Wait." My voice was softer than I intended, almost pleading. "Teresa, could you… could you and the babies stay here tonight? Just for tonight."

"What?" she asked, incredulous.
