In a world where power rules and secrets run deep, one girl learns that hiding can't save her from fate. When her path crosses with a relentless alpha, everything she thought she knew shatters. Dark Moon Rising is a story of forbidden desire, ancient curses, and the wild pull of a bond that refuses to be broken.
When the moon rises, nothing stays the same.

Lyra West thought she'd escaped fate.
Until the night her pack burned.
Wounded and alone, she stumbles across the borders of the infamous Black Hollow Pack... a territory whispered about in warning, ruled by a man said to be as cruel as he is powerful. Alpha Lucien. A leader forged in blood, haunted by a prophecy that cursed him to live (and rule)without a mate.
But the moment Lyra steps into his home, something ancient stirs.
A spark that shouldn't exist.
A pull neither of them understands.
He's dangerous. Controlled. Bound by darkness.
She's broken. Hunted. Hiding secrets that could destroy them both.
As the mystery of her past unravels and whispers of a rogue uprising spread across the packs, one truth becomes impossible to ignore...
Fate doesn't make mistakes.
And sometimes, love is the cruelest curse of all.
