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.

Beneath the Alpha's Moon

Mai Blackwood. The name itself was a curse. A specter looming over my life since I was four years old. She was the reason for my scars—the reason the left side of my face was a permanent reminder of my humiliation. I thought I hated her. No, I knew I hated her. So, why was I standing in the middle of my room, staring out the window, still replaying the strange look she had when she left my house yesterday?

When Mai left my house after our lesson, I should have felt relief. I should have exhaled, glad to be free of her presence. But I didn't.

Instead, I sat at my desk, tapping my pencil against my notebook, recalling the way she had looked before she walked out. It wasn't like her—not even close. Mai Blackwood was always sharp-tongued, full of mischief, and practically vibrating with smugness. But today? She had been quiet. Too quiet.
