Five siblings, catapulted into chaos. Striving hard to create a grounded foundation amidst a cruel world, hoping that building walls will protect them against the hungry hands trying to tear them into pieces. They only ever wanted to love and be loved but life carved its marks into their hearts. Poisoned people and a series of misfortunes left their souls tainted. 🌼 🌼 🌼 ❗❗❗ This book is a PREQUEL which means that the story takes place several years before the first book, 'FADED'. This work is a part of a backstory that focuses on the events that occurred before the original narrative. It is not necessarily required that you read FADED to understand this one, but I do strongly recommend it to get a better understanding of the characters and setting. 🌼 🌼 🌼 ⚠️ Trigger Warning! ⚠️ This is not some fairytale about falling in love and living happily ever after. This story is a reflection of reality, it's about real characters facing real hardships and struggles in life. RATED M (Please read the tags for more info about the story.

"I missed you as much as I would miss a lung, I could hardly even breathe without you." ☾❂ ☾❂ ☾❂ ☾❂ ☾❂ ☾❂ ☾❂ ☾❂ ☾❂ ☾❂ ☾❂ ☾ Opal has been through a lot in her life, many things that left her feeling broken and shattered. The only thing that kept her together was her best friend, Keifer. She knew deep down that Keifer was her mate, and that he would always be there for her, that is until he's taken away. Ever since Keifer was adopted, he knew that he was different from the other lycans. He didn't know how to channel his anger or his pent up frustration, so he did what any teenager does. He rebelled. But, Keifer took his shenanigans too far when he almost killed the person he loves most. He's sent away to a military camp for the troubled, separated from his family and mate for years as he learns to control himself. Keifer's resentment grows. Opal's strength dwindles. Both of them are tested when Opal takes things to the extreme and decides to run away, on the hunt to find her mate and mend her heart, no matter what the cost.

Lexie is not a warrior. In fact, Lexie is a painter. Her hands are always covered in paint. Never coming off. Always there. For Lexie, painting is an escape. An escape from her pain. She paints to avoid the darkness that is in her soul. She paints to avoid looking at the bleeding wound inside her chest. She paints. To forget. But then Lexie meets someone. Her mate. He also hides a dark anger inside him. An anger at everything and the world around him. When two souls collide, how do you fix each other? Atlas isn't looking for a mate. He's seen the effect of women within his life, and how cruel they can be. But then he meets someone. Someone he doesn't want to meet. A painter soul. And a warrior's heart. How will the two collide? ***Note this can be read as a stand-alone story. Moon Child can be found on world_joy_ bio page - feel free to read it to get other characters background story.
