Born into wealth and privilege, second only to royalty, Octavia Cousland is the perfect picture of noble women. Dainty, kind, soft spoken and engaged to a good man, Darrien Oswin. The betrayal of her family leaves her alone, grieving her lover's death, grieving her family's death, shallow and broken. Despite all she had lost and suffered, the emptiness and numbness she felt, she found herself forced to take up arms and defend Fereldan from the Blight and the civil war. Convinced she will never be what the world needs, doubting herself and her capabilities, she must push through to survive. She must discover if she can be more than just a noblewoman, and if she can fall in love again.
Will be renamed later.

Bloodbound Eclipse
[⚠️𝓒𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓪𝓲𝓷𝓼 𝓶𝓪𝓽𝓾𝓻𝓮 𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓼 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓬𝓱𝓲𝓵𝓭 𝓪𝓫𝓾𝓼𝓮. 𝓡𝓮𝓪𝓭 𝓪𝓽 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓸𝔀𝓷 𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓴] In the savage hierarchy of the werewolf world, no leader is more feared than the True Blood Alpha - a rare breed born with unmatched strength, unbreakable will, and dominance that commands absolute obedience. Alden Varin, the formidable Alpha of the Moonblood Pack, is one of these rare few. Ruthless in battle and merciless toward his enemies, his reign is built on blood and fear. Yet beneath his unyielding exterior lies a wolf still waiting for the one bond he cannot control - his fated mate. That bond finds him in the most unlikely form: Valeria Marisol, an omega from the Skyblue Pack. The lowest rank. The broken daughter of their Beta. Scarred in body and soul by years of abuse, Valeria has learned to survive by hiding in the shadows. But the moment she crosses into Moonblood territory, fate delivers her into Alden's path. From the instant he catches her scent, Alden knows she is his. His mate. His obsession. And he will protect her with a fury that sets the world ablaze. But Valeria's past holds dangerous secrets, and her enemies will stop at nothing to reclaim her. As the tension between their packs erupts into war, Alden's vengeance becomes a blood-soaked crusade. Together, they must face betrayal, deadly rivalries, and a threat far greater than either imagined - a rogue True Blood who covets Valeria for himself. Bound by passion and the unbreakable mate bond, Alden and Valeria's love burns bright in the darkness. But in a world where power demands sacrifice, their greatest victory may also be their greatest loss.

He was a man of power, feared and worshipped in the same breath, ruling over the world of shadows where morality was a myth and sin was the only language spoken. Love? That was for the weak. He didn't do love. He didn't believe in innocence. Until her. She was untouched by the darkness he thrived in-a vision of purity, a forbidden fruit he had no right to crave. But the devil had never been one to deny himself temptation. And she... she was his greatest one. She should have run. He told her to. Instead, she stayed, unaware that the moment she stepped into his world, she became his. His to ruin. His to cherish. His purest sin. And now, even if heaven came calling-he'd rather burn than let her go.

Desperate for a way out, she made a deal with the Devil himself, never expecting to become the obsession of Hell's most dangerous ruler. As she's drawn deeper into his world, Alina learns that bargains with demons always come at a cost, and sometimes the greatest danger isn't losing your soul-it's losing your heart. A „tale" of forbidden romance, sharp humor, and unbreakable resolve-where even in the depths of Hell, hope burns brightest."Complete
