As a weak and powerless human, Eve was never meant to survive. Through a series of miracles, she finds herself taken in by werewolves. But she doesn't realize her true power - not until destiny calls and she is faced with two choices: run, or fight to save her pack against the darkest magic. ***** Adopted by an Alpha couple to raise as their own, Eve grew up in a world of wolves. Though she was once abandoned and alone, she is now surrounded by family from two of the most powerful werewolf packs. She has the unwavering love of her parents, the Alpha and Luna of the Crescent Moon Pack, and inexplicably, also the protection of Zachary Stone, the cold but devastatingly handsome Alpha of the Red Moon Pack. Eve never thought she would truly become one of them, as she is no werewolf, but when she discovers her true identity and starts seeing visions, she realizes that the fate of everyone she loves may lie in her hands.

| Book One in Bonded Series | *if you're new, please start reading at the second part named "prologue", not the one that says original version... unless you'd like to read both!* Tradition states that the Goddess pairs you with the person that completes you in every way. The whole idea implies that you give something to your mate that they are missing, that together you are better than you were apart. If that was the case, I wasn't so sure that I was capable of being anyone's mate. My strong bloodline was a guarantee that I would be able to find safety in the arms of a suitable male. As the daughter of an Alpha, the elders believed that I was destined to hold the title of Luna. The sole purpose of my life would revolve around serving a pack, and a man, that wasn't my own. My father made sure that I understood my destiny did not include only being a Luna. He taught me that my true purpose was to serve our people and keep them safe. The idea of finding my mate was the last thing on my mind because my responsibility to my pack was always the number one priority. I am meant to be an Alpha, and my heart belongs to my pack.
