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 Ritual

LUCIAN'S P.O.V.

The hall reeked of sage, burnt herbs, and something metallic that tickled my senses uncomfortably. At five in the morning, three hours into this madness, Serena laid out the ritual ingredients with a precision that only added to the tension in the room. Every eye in the hall—alphas, betas, high priests, high priestesses, and their mages—was fixed on her as she placed each item with deliberate care. The vampire blood, dark and glistening, was contained in a crystal vial that seemed to pulse faintly, as though it had a heartbeat of its own.

"This," Serena announced, lifting the vial, "was willingly donated by Vera, mate of Adam, a Moonpeak's enforcer."
