Claimed In The Shadows
Dravina has spent seven years trapped in a gilded cage. As the Luna of the Firestone Pack, she endures a life of cruelty and control under her possessive mate, Alpha Cassian. Desperate for freedom, she makes a daring escape into the wilderness armed with nothing but a small bag and the unbreakable will to survive. But freedom has its price. When Dravina is captured by another powerful pack, she expects punishment or worse, to be returned to Cassian. Instead, she finds herself face-to-face with a commanding, enigmatic Alpha who sees straight through her lies... and claims her as his destined mate. Torn between fear and a flicker of hope, Dravina must tread carefully in this unfamiliar territory. As secrets unravel and danger closes in, she stands at a crossroads: trust the bond she never believed in, or fight alone for the life she's always dreamed of.
Mated To The Dark One
I used to move through life with the gnawing belief that something inside me was tainted, wrong in a way I could never explain. Daylight felt like a lie I was forced to live under, its brilliance too harsh, too exposing. I never truly belonged in the sun. Maybe that's why, when I saw him, cloaked in shadow and sin, I felt something awaken deep within me. Agostino Santini was everything I wasn't supposed to want, yet everything I craved. He looked like he had been carved from my darkest fantasies, his presence an intoxicating gravity I couldn't resist. The world called him many things: predator, monster, omen of death. And maybe he was. But to me, he was something else entirely. He didn't just save my life, he breathed something new into it. With every glance, every whispered word, he unraveled the tight threads of restraint I'd bound myself with. He touched me like he knew every secret my skin kept hidden. He gave me a taste of pleasure so raw, so consuming, it made me question everything I thought I knew about desire. All he ever asked of me was my blood. But I knew if I surrendered that, I wouldn't be able to stop there. I'd give him everything. My body. My heart. My soul. And I did. Willingly. His dark magnetism blinded me to the truth until it was far too late. I was drawn to him like a moth to flame, compelled, helpless. And when I stepped too close, the fire didn't just burn. It consumed. That's when I learned the most devastating truth of all. Love like this doesn't end in happily ever after. It ends in ruin. And in the end, only one of us will survive.
