Mar vel Lous

Shadow-Bound Lyra is no Prophecy Bride. She's a cynical rogue wolf, a master of deception, hired to do one thing: destabilize the desperate Sunstone Pack. They believe she is the "Unmarked One," destined to restore the sacred, failing Sunstone Crystal and save their lineage. Her plan was flawless until the moment she met Alpha Kaelen. The handsome, young Alpha sees through her silks and her smile instantly. When they touch in the ceremonial claim, the Crystal doesn't ignite; it flat lines. And in a shared, chilling whisper, Kaelen reveals his terrifying ultimatum: he knows she's a fraud, and now she must choose between immediate exposure by his treacherous rivals, or entering a mutual deception with the only man who can execute her. Trapped in a gilded lie, Lyra must now pretend to be the salvation of a pack that is actively hunting her secrets. As political enemies close in and the mountain's magic dies, Lyra and Kaelen are forced to navigate a lethal alliance of forced proximity and forbidden intrigue. The Sunstone is failing. The Prophecy is a lie. But the most dangerous truth might be the escalating tension between the rogue and the Alpha, bound by a secret that could save their world or see them both destroyed.

Ten years ago, Rocco Valeriano made a choice. He chose the crown of a crime boss over the innocent light of his first love, Eliza Hawthorne. He forced her to run, believing it was the only way to save her from the darkness that consumed him. Now, she's back, an acclaimed artist unwittingly stepping into the crosshairs of a city still echoing with the Valeriano name. Rocco, the ruthless and enigmatic head of the Valeriano family, rules his empire with an iron fist and a heart forged in shadows. But Eliza's return shatters his carefully constructed world, exposing the raw vulnerability he thought long buried.

She wants her freedom, her art, and a life untouched by his dangerous world. Yet, as threats from rival families close in, she finds herself trapped in a gilded cage of his making, forced to confront the impossible truth: the only man who can keep her safe is the one who broke her heart, and the only way to survive might be to surrender to the darkness within his 'Obsidian Heart.' Can two souls, irrevocably changed by fate and choice, find redemption amidst a storm of violence, loyalty, and a love that refuses to die? Or will their dangerous game consume them both, leaving only ashes where a burning passion once stood?

He told me his Inner Wolf was dormant. He claimed he couldn't feel the Mate Bond, that divine connection the Moon Goddess gifts to us. I believed him. For years, I waited in the shadows, protecting his secret, convinced my Alpha was just broken. But the truth revealed itself in the middle of a fire. During a rogue ambush, an explosion threw me into a ditch. My ankle was crushed in a hidden poacher’s trap, the silver teeth searing my flesh like acid. I screamed for him. Ethan sprinted through the smoke. He stopped, looking down at me. He saw the trap. He saw the blood. He saw the silver burning me alive. Then he looked at Chloe. She was sitting on the grass nearby, clutching a tiny, insignificant scratch on her forehead, wailing like a child. He didn't hesitate. Not for a heartbeat. He turned his back on me. He scooped Chloe up in his arms, cradling her like she was made of precious glass, and ran to safety.

He just didn't want me. I didn't die in that fire. I dragged myself out, leaving my love in the ashes. The next morning, I limped into the Pack Hall. My leg was a ruin, but my mind was clear. Ethan sat on his throne, Chloe smirking on his lap. He looked at me with annoyance, expecting me to beg. Instead, I stood tall, letting my own wolf rise. "I, Ava Miller, reject you, Ethan Reed, as my mate."
