When the New Moon Falls

Austyn-Rose is the abused daughter of the Beta of Dark Moon, her parents killed in the same rogue attack that took her wolf, Ember. When she turned 18, she found out that her wolf was permanently gone, she would never be able to shift. On the same day, she was mated to the Alpha's son, and future Alpha, Kayden. Kayden rejected his mate, after spending his entire childhood being forced to abuse her by his parents. The Moon Goddess granted her a second chance mate two later when the neighboring Alpha, Leo Storm of New Moon, came to visit. Leo fell instantly in love with his mate and swore to protect and honor her. His father wanted him to reject his wolfless mate, but he refused, removing his father from authority. Austyn-Rose was neglected and broken, doubting every display of affection from her mate. When Leo's father plotted against Austyn with Dark Moon, her life and future as the Luna of New Moon is put at risk. To make matters worse, Austyn receives a visit from Selene, the Moon Goddess herself, where she learns about the true nature of her parents death and her legacy. Now, everyone is looking towards her and Leo to lead them into battle.

""Marking you will destroy your mate. He will want to kill himself, but I won't let him. I will force you to watch me rip his body apart. Then, you will see how useless you are against me. Then, you will submit. You will birth my heir and sooth my wolf. That will be your existence."

Kayden's authority surrounded me as he tried to use his Alpha command on me. It was nothing compared to Leo's and even his didn't work. I felt my face turning blue as I began to lose consciousness from the lack of oxygen. He released me and I crumbled to the floor, blacking out."
