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.

Trapped in Despair

TERESA'S P.O.V.

After another swipe at the men, the wolf shifted back into position, stepping between me and the invaders. Its massive form was a wall of muscle and bristling fur, every sinew in its body taut and ready to strike. The swish of its tail was slow, deliberate—a warning. Was it protecting us? Or was it merely laying claim to its next meal? My stomach churned at the thought, but there was no time to ponder.

One of the men lunged at it. It was too fast, a blur of movement. The wolf moved faster. Its powerful jaws snapped shut around the man's torso, lifting him as though he weighed nothing. The sickening crunch of bone and the wet sound of tearing flesh filled the room, and the man's lifeless body was tossed aside like a broken doll. The remains crashed into the cribs, shattering what was left of them into splinters.

My stomach roiled, bile rising to my throat, but I couldn't look away. I couldn't even blink.
