Blood Moon Legacy: Dawn of Legacy Book II The Blood Moon ended the war-but it also ended the lies. Moonshard no longer hides fae blood. Hybrids stand openly at its gates. The pack that once survived through secrecy now calls it unity. For Aerin Greythorne, it's proof that everything he lost was never forbidden-only postponed. He is the firstborn son of the Moonshard Alpha-Kael's older stepbrother-born of wolf and fae, and sent away before he could claim his name. While Kael inherited the pack, Aerin learned to survive without it. Now ancient laws stir, and the legacy of the Blood Moon resurfaces. With the gates of Moonshard open, Aerin returns-not for revenge, but to claim what was always his by blood. At his side is Lyra, the one person who sees the man beneath the legacy, and the only one who makes him question what kind of Alpha he is willing to become. Because some dawns bring peace. Others bring reckoning.

A night of drunken impulsiveness, a crimson provocation, and a contract that changes everything. Tong Tian'ai, a spirited and hard-working art student, never imagined that one chaotic night would lead her into the crosshairs of Taiwan's most powerful man. After waking up in a luxury hotel suite with a mysterious man in the shower, Tian'ai flees the scene-but not before leaving a defiant mark: a bold, cherry-red lipstick kiss pressed firmly onto the man's white bedsheet. The man she provoked is none other than Qin Jinyang, the arrogant, breathtakingly handsome, and billionaire CEO of the Qin Corporation. Accustomed to getting whatever he wants and changing women like clothes, Jinyang is intrigued by this "little hedgehog" who dares to challenge him. He publishes a nationwide "wanted order" featuring a photo of her silken back, vowing to hunt her down and make her surrender. When Qin Jinyang threatens the very land where Tian'ai's beloved orphanage stands, she is forced to step into the lion's den. To protect the only home she has ever known, she signs a one-month contract to be his woman. What begins as a cold game of conquest and coercion soon spirals into a deep, irresistible romance. As they navigate a world of high-society scandals, jealous rivals, and a hidden engagement, Jinyang finds himself breaking his "bachelor forever" vow. However, the greatest shock is yet to come: the "common" orphan girl he fell for carries the blood of a legendary empire, revealing herself as the "Blackwood Princess" of Italy's most powerful family. From the bustling streets of Taipei to a grand wedding at Westminster Abbey, witness a journey of sweet defiance where the world's most eligible bachelor finally meets his match.

Liam and Lexi fall in love before they ever meet. When they see each other, the bond between them doesn't hesitate. It snaps into place-unmistakable, permanent, and consuming. A mating bond neither of them can deny. Their connection solidifies in pieces-voices in the dark, shared confessions, laughter that feels intimate. Liam chooses Lexi openly. He builds a life beside her, shares a bed, a home, a future that feels real in his hands. He loves her with devotion, with tenderness, with the certainty of someone who knows she is his. And still-Knox is always there. Knox is Liam's best friend, his brother in everything but blood, the one he has protected since childhood. For a long time, Knox's pain is loud and needy, and even as he begins to heal, Liam doesn't know how to stop making room for him. So he keeps inviting him in. Into their home. Into their routines. Into the quiet spaces where Lexi thought it would finally be just the two of them. Liam never sees it as choosing Knox over Lexi. To him, it's loyalty. Habit. Love that existed first. To Lexi, it feels like being mated-yet never fully alone with her mate. This is a story about a bond that is unbreakable-and a boundary that keeps being crossed. About loving someone who means well, but doesn't realize that presence can be a kind of betrayal. About learning that choosing your mate isn't a single decision-it's something you have to do every day, especially when the past keeps knocking at the door.

THE TRUE BLOOD ALPHA, LYCAN "Even the trees dare not whisper my name... they know what lurks in my shadow." THE ALPHA , MOON "If the forest fears you, then let me be the fool who doesn't." "When the untamed power within him collides with the enigmatic allure of his fated mate, the forest trembles-not in fear, but in reverence."

I am Alina Graves. My whole life I was taught to be invisible. Omega. Orphan. Servant. I scrubbed floors in Blackthorn Castle while the alphas feasted, and lowered my eyes when they passed by. I knew: survival meant silence. But on the night of the Blood Moon, fate decided otherwise. I was thrust into the sacred circle in place of the ailing bride. And the bond struck-like lightning to the chest. My mate is Kael Blackthorn, the future Alpha King, whose name is whispered with fear across all the lands of England. He did not want an omega on the throne. He publicly rejected me before the entire pack. Called me a mistake. The humiliation burned hotter than fire. But at night, he came. Claimed me as his. Secretly. Cruelly. Without choice. Now, every glance from him is a brand. Every order is a chain. Every whisper in the castle corridors hints that my blood hides an ancient power capable of destroying the entire kingdom. I was meant to remain broken. But if fate made a mistake in choosing me for him-I will make the world bleed for that mistake.

I don't even know why I expected it to be different. When I spoke my opinion, they ignored me - just like always. It never surprised me anymore. They would never take me seriously. Because I am "only a woman" in a world ruled by men. I had heard whispers that it was not like this everywhere. That other realms did not silence their strongest warriors simply because they were born female. But here - in Heaven - power belonged to men. My name is Elissa. I am an angel. The best warrior Heaven has. The strongest. Everyone knows it. They say it in private. They admit it when they need me on the battlefield. But never out loud. Never in front of me. And it never bothered me. Until now. Because now it's my time to make my own choises. And the first one - I am leaving heaven and going to another realm.

Marianna was never meant to be a pawn. When Kade enters her life, he does so with intention. A lie.

A means to an end. Except Kade doesn't expect to fall in love with her. What begins as careful manipulation turns into something dangerously real. Stolen glances linger too long.

She walks away shattered, furious, done. Whatever fragile thing existed between them is ashes in her hands. And that's when it happens. When Marianna has nothing left to give him. When she's chosen herself. When she's finally, truly through- The bond snaps into place. Sudden. Violent. Unmistakable. The universe doesn't reward patience. It doesn't care about timing or forgiveness. It simply claims what it's owed, binding her to the man who betrayed her at the exact moment she no longer wants him. Betrayal was always part of the plan. Falling in love was not. And the bond? The bond has the worst sense of humor of all.
