HEARTS OF DIVINE RUIN (The MoonGoddess and The AlphaKing)

Prologue

BANTER:

"Damn right, I'm pretty," Luna said with a confident smirk, flipping her silver hair over her shoulder. Her eyes glinted with mischievous pride, though it soon faltered as his response cut through the air.

"I said petty," Alexander's voice was cold, but there was a flicker of amusement in his icy gaze as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Luna's 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 why it's obvious you're in this condition." The accusation hung heavy between them, cutting through whatever lightness their exchange once held.

BREATHLESS-NESS :

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.

Want to know how these two polar opposites went from sarcastic banter and biting insults in Snarky Sparring to a soul-searing kiss that leaves you breathless in A Kiss That Steals the Air? Buckle up, because this story in the series—"Hearts of Divine Ruin"—brings you the wild, darkly funny, and irresistibly intense tale of a fallen goddess and a love-scarred Alpha king. Keep reading to see who ends up holding the power—and whose heart gets broken first.

What happens when a fallen goddess and a love-scarred Alpha collide?

When the lines between power, passion, and vulnerability blur, neither can anticipate the outcome.

Luna, one of the ancient gods since the dawn of time, with silver hair and a timeless beauty that commands reverence, never expected to find herself powerless. After attending Theo and Darcey's wedding (yes, that wedding), she wakes to discover she's no longer a goddess—just a mere human. Stripped of her divinity, her wolf gone, she's left wandering the mortal realm, laughing bitterly at the thought that no one, not even the gods, would notice her absence. She had always been one to vanish for centuries without anyone batting an eye.

On the other side of this twist of fate is Alexander—a brooding, solitary Alpha king. Once hopeful, once open to love, Alexander was played by the gods he believed in, manipulated for their selfish desires. His chance at love was stolen, leaving scars that ran deep. Now, his heart is a fortress, impenetrable, and he has no intention of letting anyone in—least of all someone as aggravating and complicated as Luna.

Their story is dark, tangled in betrayal, but it's also filled with humor, a push-and-pull dynamic neither can control. When these two forces collide, sparks fly, but the fire that burns between them might be too much for either to handle.

(Author's Note: Quick heads-up! Lucifer (aka Theo) and Davina (aka Darcey) might switch between these names now and then. So if you see Theo or Darcey suddenly appear, don't panic—it's just our beloved duo Lucifer and Davina from our previous book - The Star Crossed Lover being extra mysterious!)
