I knew if he left this room, he'd keep fighting alone until his heart simply gave up.
I hated him for it. I hated him for being so difficult, but the thought of him being gone made my stomach turn into a block of ice.
My brain went numb. My instincts took over.
I stepped in front of the door. My hands were shaking so hard I could barely feel them. I grabbed the hem of my dress.
I can't believe I'm doing this for a man I wanted to kill an hour ago, I thought. But whatever was pulling me, didn't care about my anger.
In one fast, desperate motion, I pulled the dress over my head and let it drop.
The cold air hit my bare skin, making my nipples turn into hard, sensitive pebbles instantly. I stood there, completely naked, my heart hammering so loud it echoed in my ears.
Oh! Moon Goddess, just end me already.

She was too weak to stand beside him.
And his heart already belonged to another.
Azura Moryn knows the rules of the Crescent Moon Pack:power is everything, and without it, you are nothing. Rankless and orphaned, she has survived on the edges by being invisible. But invisibility is not weakness, it’s a choice. Behind her quiet exterior is a resilient spirit, a surprising bravery, and a clumsy, lovable heart that refuses to be crushed, even when the odds are impossible.
Rhydor Drakemire has everything.
Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, feared and respected. Groomed for greatness. And deeply in love with the woman he plans to make his Luna.
So when fate makes Azura his mate, the choice is simple.
He rejects her.
A weakling has no place beside an Alpha.
And he refuses to give up the woman he loves.
The bond should have shattered.
Instead, something ancient awakens.
Forbidden magic stirs beneath the pack lands. Golden light erupts. Pain tears through them both. And when they wake, the world is wrong.
Azura opens her eyes inside the Alpha’s body, strong, powerful, untouchable.
Rhydor wakes in hers, powerless, scorned, and unseen.
Now their souls switch without warning, trapping them in each other’s skin while enemies circle closer and the pack begins to fracture. Every secret they uncover changes what they thought they knew, about strength, about weakness, about each other.
And beyond the pack borders, a brutal Alpha King rises, draining Lunas and hunting power in his obsession with immortality. Old prophecies resurface. Whispers spread of a truth long buried:
Only a female Alpha can bring him down.
As forbidden magic stirs and betrayal creeps closer than loyalty, an ancient legacy refuses to stay buried any longer.
Azura is about to learn the truth of her own blood.
And the mate Rhydor rejected may be the one fate chose to change everything.
Some bonds are broken by pride.
Some curses are written in blood.
And some destinies can only be uncovered…

was great for the first 90 chapters but the author has a hard-on for Edward and the Cullens, no point in all his years of life if he was just gonna be a retarded cullen. Edward has always been a little shit character and the author gives him too much screen time, would have been better ignoring the Cullens
