For 11 years, Lydie Abbott has been followed by snakes. She's also been framed for murder by a pantheon of storied gods, chased by mobs crying witchcraft in the streets, and stalked by monstrosities made of stardust. And yet it always comes back to snakes. She never considered that that is what would be the biggest drawback of making a dark deal with a fallen god. Twelve lives in twelve years. That was the agreement she made with the Medicine Man the night she fled from the constellations. The night the Ecliptic known as the Wishgranter was murdered and Lydie was the one holding the poison goblet. The night she lost all hope in the gods that raised her and the mortals that refused to accept her. She doesn't know what she gave to the Medicine Man in exchange for revenge against the Ecliptic, but she knows that without meeting the love of her life she wouldn't have stopped killing when she did. And without the death of her wife she wouldn't have left it all behind. Now all Lydie wants is to retire and redeem herself for the life of darkness she lived before. That was what Gastown was supposed to be; a haven for demi-humans and mythical creatures lost between worlds. But trouble just seems to follow her like a slithering serpent, as the land she's built for herself is taken from underneath her feet by a devout and jaded man willing to do anything to uphold his beliefs. Trapped from all sides, a kind-hearted girl named Mae convinces Lydie to stop running and face her past. To clear her name once and for all and uncover who truly killed the Wishgranter all those years ago. Of course, neither one of them knew this would mean summoning an Ecliptic to earth; a haunting and unearthly creature known as Moonchild. ✧ ♒︎ ✧ † ✧ ☾ ✧ The murder of a god gone unsolved, a pact made with a harbinger of the apocalypse, and a town built on superstition on the verge of collapsing. Welcome mortals, to Moonchild.

The Tale of Two Dominants

Aubrielle Baine was the first of her kind in a hundred and fifty years. A female pup born to a Primary Alpha Family, the werewolf ruling class directly descended from the ancient ancestors of werewolves, the Lycans. Unfortunately, the last alpha female was the reason two alpha males went to war for the first time and the wars didn't end when they died. Their diety the moon goddess cursed her own children preventing the birth of alpha females and the wolves from finding their fated mates. Enter Lysander Hunters, his father, like Alpha Baine, had been striving to unite the entire werewolf race and put a stop to the wars and the devastation they left behind, now the two are too dominant to submit and unite their packs which were the largest in the world. Alpha Baine also fears for his daughter's title and safety once he's gone. The only solution, have their heirs marry. Ander and Aubry are too dominant to inhabit the same space yet they have a responsibility to their packs and the survival of their race coupled with the disappointing betrayal of their parents' four years in the making scheme, tensions start to rise, but they are not all unpleasant. What happens when Ander suspects that his unexplanable attraction and overprotective actions to his mate was because the fated mate curse was also lifted at her birth and she was fated for him? As enemies threaten on all sides, will Ander come to fully understand his feelings as he does all in his power to keep his mate safe when her life is continuously threatend? And will Aubry trust her own growing feelings for her kind, thoughtful and affectionate mate and give in to what the future promises or will she succumb to her dominant nature and challenge him at every turn for his irritatingly overprotectiveness towards her? The fate of the entire werewolf race might just be hanging in the balance.
