BANTER

"Damn right, I'm pretty," Luna said with a confident smirk. Her mischievous pride faltered at his response.

"I said petty," Alexander's voice was cold but amused, arms crossed over his chest.

Her smile sharpened, daring, as she leaned into the banter. "Lucky for you I'm not what I once was, or you'd be spending eternity as my pet puppy." Her words carried a teasing edge, testing him, pushing for a reaction.

But Alex's expression darkened, the amusement in his eyes disappearing as he leveled his gaze at her. "Convenient for you gods-twisting the lives of others for your needs." His words, spoken with quiet bitterness, struck a nerve. For a moment, guilt twisted inside Luna as she recalled how those she once called kin-gods, her juniors-had toyed with his life for their selfish desires.

Before the regret could settle in, Alexander continued, his tone unwavering. "Maybe that's the reason you're in this condition." The accusation hung heavy between them, cutting through whatever lightness their exchange once held.


BREATHLESSNESS

In a moment where the tension between them reached its breaking point, Alexander's hand shot forward, grabbing her by the throat. His grip was firm but not cruel-no intent to harm. Instead, he pulled her closer, and before Luna could register what was happening, his lips crashed onto hers. The kiss was deep, forceful, searing through every fiber of her being. She forgot whose air she was breathing, her powerlessness overshadowed by the sheer intensity of his touch, of their connection. In that stolen breath, it was no longer clear who held the upper hand.

What happens when a fallen ancient goddess and a love-scarred Alpha collide? When the lines between power, passion, and vulnerability blur, neither can anticipate the outcome. This book , next series of THE ILL FATED LOVERS and its volume THE STAR CROSSED LOVERS brings you the wild, darkly funny, and irresistibly intense tale .Read to see who ends up holding the power-and whose heart gets broken first.

HEARTS OF DIVINE RUIN (The MoonGoddess and The AlphaKing)

Thank you, dear readers, for walking this journey with me. 

Writing Hearts of Divine Ruin has been an incredible experience, and your support has meant the world to me. This story was supposed to end at the Quintus fight, but I couldn't resist giving Luna's existence the closure it deserved. I apologize if you felt it draggy.

Your patience and encouragement have made this possible, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.

From The Ill-Fated Lovers to The Star-Crossed Lovers and now to Hearts of Divine Ruin, Alex's struggles have been at the heart of it all. We've felt his pain, his determination, and his love, and we've watched as fate gave him a second chance and then the one masked in white taking it away. He loved and lost but still hoped for her.

As Alex himself said, falling for Luna was the easiest thing he'd ever done, and it's my hope that all of you find your "easiest thing" too—that one person or purpose that feels like coming home.

This has been a long journey, my longest book yet (not planning to go this long ever though lol), and it's been a joy to write. Thank you for bearing with me, for your love and your critiques, and for believing in Alex and Luna's story as much as I did.

Here's to love, resilience, and finding peace.

P.S. A few familiar faces from the first book, like our own Victoria and Andrew in upcoming future may make a return in a new book , and I'm introducing a new couple—Ethan (Davina and Lucifer's little brother, who possesses the female wolf of Davina) and Eric (the little guest role from this book). Should I give it a go? Though I've never written BL before, maybe I will explore it in the future!
