"Hide it and hide it well."
______________
Lycanthropy have been dwindling drastically over the last two millennia due to great displeasure of the Moon at the betrayal of her subjects. What she has blessed them with, they either took for granted or defied with humanoid laws and rituals that have never been approved of - by her - all for their own personal gain and greed. She's tired and ready to end it; destroy her great achievement even though it hurts her heart. Until, one night, a young wolf howled to her begging for his mate - his true mate - and deciding to give him a chance, a compromise has been made.
Within the last five centuries, the Moon has blessed them with a second chance, but only just. The Ancient Scriptures told of mates identifying each other through scent, sight or touch but that was no more. What serves as a replacement are called "Marks". Each pack is blessed with a trademark clan symbol that serves as identification not only among their people but to other packs as well. Each male is born with the clan's symbol tattooed on the inside of their wrist with little extra details to differentiate familial ties.
Follow the lives of four sisters as their parents' decision brings heavy consequences and them being torn apart when all they want is to stick together.

The Betrayal
"Light up my darkness," he murmured against her bare flesh. His fingers trailed up her arm, leaving a blazing fire beneath them. His lips pressed softly against her shoulder and her eyes fluttered closed, accepting his touch. "Let go and I'll take away all of the pain." She desperately wanted to free herself from the torture of the heat, of the shift, of the sadness, but she pushed his firm chest away from her. She yearned to finally fulfill her place among the divine. She desired to guide and protect the species. She wished to eliminate the Challengers. The longer she endured the pain, the more power she would attain to help her fulfill her responsibilities. To the men who watched her ascend, it looked as if she was interacting with thin air, but she knew he was there with her. She smiled softly at him, caressing his cheek. "My Darkness, let the pain fester within me. I crave it." * The Betrayal is a part of The Marking Trilogy and cannot be read as a stand-alone book.

As her 19th birthday nears, she grows more wary of attending the mating bonfire that could be ever life-changing. A ceremony that could rip her apart from the only family she has ever known, her pack, but will fate have different plans? or will she forge her own? * * * "I've seen you cry plenty of times Mar. Don't get shy now" He whispered grabbing my chin and turning my head to face him. He wiped my tears gently with a frown. "I hate seeing you cry" He commented as I smiled softly. "I try to avoid it" I teased but I couldn't bring myself to laugh at my own pathetic joke. "Whatever you decide. I'll be here" He tells me after a long silence. Just the soft and comforting rain surrounding us. "I know" I smiled grabbing his hand in mine. "But I think we both know that there is no choice to make" I finished as the rain stopped abruptly leaving us with distant howling deep in the forest. My mind was made up. I've been told by many that I can be a very indecisive person. But this, this is definitely not something that I had to ponder for long. My decision had been made. I think, deep down, from the moment I laid eyes on him I knew. I am rejecting the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack.
