Two-year-old Ruhi had never known what it meant to belong. Abandoned in an orphanage and taught to stay quiet, she had stopped expecting anyone to come for her-until a hidden record and a DNA test revealed the truth. She had five brothers. Five brothers who blamed her existence for the loss of their parents. They did not want her. But their father's will left them no choice except to bring her home. What begins as responsibility slowly turns into attachment, protectiveness, and a love none of them expected. And when Ruhi starts calling the eldest brother **"Dadda,"** the unwanted little girl begins changing their broken house into a family. This is the story of five brothers who thought Ruhi had destroyed their world-only to realise she was the heart they had lost.

For generations, the Moonbound Packs have followed the oldest law of the Moon Goddess. Every year, on the Night of Choosing, every unmated woman who has reached eighteen is blindfolded and brought before the gathered Alphas and ranked warriors. She cannot see who stands before her. She cannot choose her future. Only the males may choose. Most girls pray to be claimed by kind warriors or respected Betas. No one dares hope for an Alpha. Especially not Alpha Kael Blackthorn-the ruthless ruler of the Bloodfang Pack. A male feared across every territory for his cold heart, brutal strength, and merciless justice. When quiet, strong-willed Elara is unexpectedly chosen by the most feared Alpha alive, the ceremony erupts into shocked silence. Some believe she's the luckiest woman alive. Others whisper she's been sentenced to a lifetime beside a monster. But as ancient enemies awaken, hidden prophecies come to light, and secrets surrounding Elara's birth begin to surface, Alpha Kael realizes he may not have chosen an ordinary mate... The Moon Goddess may have chosen her for him first.

Anneliese is an empathetic, outgoing young woman who has struggled finding a safe place to express herself. Often looking for new ways to meet friends, she wouldn't pass the opportunity to chat someone up. Even a stranger at the diner she works at to pass time and support herself. A dedicated man takes to the nativity of Anneliese. He is direct and prefers to keep to himself. Even an isolated man by choice can't withstand Anneliese's pull. Gravitating towards her, he manages to bring her a sense of comfort to the new beginnings in life. Not all beginnings are as true as they let off and lies can only last so long. ~ ❀ ~ I can't help but stare at her. Her face, lips, and smile, and her nose. Even her long, curled lashes. "Let's do a butterfly kiss!" She exclaims, pulling my face close suddenly. Kiss? My heart hammers in my chest, my breath hitching. Her small hands hold my face close to hers. It's not very forceful, I could pull away if I wanted to, but I let her have control. Her hands are warm and soft against my jaw. Getting closer, her eyes lashes flutter and I find myself holding my breath. She brushes her lashes to mine, her breath fanning against my lips. Subconsciously, I lean forward, wanting my lips to be on hers. June flutter her lashes, grazing her lashes to mine. Out of nowhere she bursts out in a fit of laughter. I flinch back. Butterfly kiss. That was not a fucking kiss. ~ ❀ ~ #1 cliche 2025 #1 sweatheart 2025 #1 opposites 2026 *Warning* Mature themes will be covered (language, actions, etc).

I pushed the bushes aside, and there sat a skinny young boy, maybe a toddler, with matted curly dark brown hair, hollow cheeks, and rags for clothes. I froze in shock until I finally found the words to say, "Hello, my name's Cleo. . . what's yours?" I spoke as softly and calmly as possible. He blinked his pretty grey eyes at me. "Mateo." . . . Imagine a half-eaten apple flies through the air and smacks you on the head. There's nobody around and no way for anyone to hide. Then, it happens again the next day and you do some searching and find a small child. Would you take him in? Help him find his parents?
