If the moon has made me this way, then I should be Moon-blessed, not Moon-cursed.
He is the Alpha, and I am his Beta.
It's time for me to bend straight; there are some lines I must not cross here. But every time I see him, the lines curve, gnawing into my soul...for he is my mate.
This is our destiny, yet nobody can know that the Moon has doubly blessed and cursed us with the forbidden love.
A hidden, dark fire. It was our secret. A secret we denied - a secret too dark to share.
We don't bend that way.
I left. I had to escape the torture, the heartache - I lived among humans; I studied them. I found myself. Or, I should say, my Professor, discovered me. They can never know that a human male seduced me, or that I loved him; it means certain death for both of us. He taught me everything I know, made me the wolf I am today. But even that love was not enough.
I return to my territory today. Leaving the sophisticated freedom of the city for the stifling traditionalism of my pack - a place where my soul, my desire, my love must be locked away and hidden.
This ache is my one true companion, never leaving my side.
Perhaps the pain never ends, but I must go on. I'm not the runt I once was. My body is lean, muscled, and powerful now. I see my transformation in their eyes.
I see it in his eyes.
He may be my Alpha, but he will come to me. The moon may have cursed us both, and our path may be full of torture, pain, and lines so curved that we get lost - but I have no choice.
He has no choice.
It is time for me to bend straight for the pack - but in my soul, I know my lines are curved and undulating, and that they all lead to him, my rightful mate. My cursed mate, one that fate demands, and that our society forbids.
I don't know how to go on.
Bound by a curse and controlled by a dangerous shifter, Kaia has no hope of escaping her cruel fate until her pack is raided by a powerful Alpha who she discovers is her fated mate-and he will stop at nothing to keep her safe.
Season 1 of Becoming Luna
***
Kaia has always been the outcast of the Red River pack, hoping for a life of freedom away from the control of her sinister leader, Alpha Maverick. But she has limited options, especially with the crushing weight of a containment curse bearing down on her shoulders.
When her pack is unexpectedly raided by revered Alpha Nero Hunt, Kaia is shocked to discover that the powerful Alpha is her mate. Nero has been yearning for his true mate forever, and now that he's found her, he's desperate to fight for her, no matter the cost. Kaia has her secrets, but so does Nero, and the struggle to keep Kaia free from Maverick's clutches and break her curse threatens to tear them apart.
Kaia thought she was done with domineering Alphas, but maybe with this one, she just might keep him.
