"River, I...I didn't realize..." I say, and before I can form the rest of my sentence, he strides towards me. I immediately step back and feel the rough bark of one of the nearby trees press into my back.

One of his hands comes up to grip my jaw, his hold so firm that I wouldn't be able to turn my head away even if I wanted to.

My whole body thrums with desire as I feel his other hand plant itself firmly on my waist. His dark eyes bore into me so intensely it's like being peeled back to my very inner layers, like he can see every part of me. I feel my core light with desire, my breath catching as he stares down at me, angry, lustful, intense.

"You are mine." He growls, his tone rough and thick with possessiveness.

I'm not prepared for what happens next.

What do you do when everyone and everything you know is destroyed in front of you?
For 21 year old Holly Freeman, the only answer was to run. 

After barely escaping the brutal but unknown pack that ambushed her own, Holly stumbles into the territory of none other than the highly feared Shadow Pack: the most brutal and largest pack in all of North America. The legends of the Shadow Pack keep young pups scared at night, and Holly once thought there was no way she herself would join them....But what is she to do when she mates with a Shadow Pack member? And not just any member, but the ambitious and ruggedly handsome Shadow Alpha, River Matthews?

Sparks fly immediately, despite Holly and River mixing like oil and water. The undeniable pull between them forces them to recognize just how different and yet how similar they both truly are. 

Holly and River must learn to become each other's best allies, or risk having their greater enemy threaten not only their love, but the way of life amongst wolves everywhere.

My Broken Luna by awesomepriscilla

"Stop. Stop, please." I sob as the whip comes down on my back once more. "Shut up yo-" my tormentor's words are cut off by a ferocious growl. I sense another masculine figure in the dark room, but can't make out a word he's shouting. The burning and searing pain that I'm experiencing is just too much. A sickening snap is heard and something drops onto the cold, stone flooring. The chains around my wrists and ankles are broken along with the tight metal collar around my neck. "Mate." my rescuer growls, gently cradling me in his arms. ********************* Charlotte Beck has been tortured and abused by the Red Stone pack ever since she turned eight. She doesn't know why they hate her or how she ended up a lower rank than the Omegas; no one even bothered to label her as a slave. She has never known the true meaning of love or how it felt like, all Charlotte knows is that her pack surely doesn't feel that way about her. Finding a mate was a dream that was thrown out the window long ago; all of the verbal abuse led her to believe that she didn't deserve one. It's not until she attempts to escape again that she realizes that she has a chance of living a better life, one where abuse isn't an everyday thing. Xander Reynolds, Alpha of the Lunar Shadow pack, finds her when she's taken to his cells as a trespassing prisoner. Known as the strongest Alpha in the continent, he does everything he can to protect his mate. The only problem is that she's too emotionally scarred to allow him to. His dark and violent reputation is the only thing that Charlotte knows about him. The memories of their childhood together beaten out of her mind. Traumatized and high on fear, she struggles to let down her walls. Her real home is with a man who she cannot remember and a brother who she wishes she remembered. Can Xander get his mate to love him? Or will Charlotte let her past keep them apart?

"I call bullshit." Digging my finger into his broad chest, I met his intense stare without an ounce of fright, "I've been calling bullshit for the past two weeks, do you see me doing anything about it?" He pushed my hand away from his chest, sending shocks through my arm by his touch. "You're not worth trusting, none of us think you are." A searing sensation in my chest distracted me momentarily, "Do I get bonus points if I act like I care?" ******** The possibility of being the only living Aurelia left made life harsh, cold and unforgiving for Aspen Havoc. After being thrown out by her parents, she's forced to live the true and merciless life of the one most hated species on earth.

Arrax Santora, the Alpha of The Dark Moon Pack, didn't expect the meeting between him and Aspen, and he definitely did not expect to feel an instant connection. Their journey leads them to hell and back. As secrets are revealed and truths uncovered, will they run for their life or attack the brewing storm together.

-COMPLETED- Audrey Allen had lived her entire life in the Dark Root pack, and every minute of it had been dreadful. Well, perhaps not every minute of her life, but every moment she had endured since her mother's death ten years ago had shaped her into the pathetic excuse for a woman that she was today. Or at least, that's how she viewed herself. A decade of neglect and abuse would do that to a girl. All Audrey believed she was good for was cooking and cleaning the pack house, and her father had her doubting even those abilities. Alpha Dean Whittaker had ruled as Alpha of Dark Root for eight years by himself. Although he secretly craved his mate, his Luna, to appear in his life and allow him to strengthen his pack even more, he knew his chances of ever finding her were slim. He was feared by both his own pack members and surrounding packs, so even if he ever did find his mate, he'd likely have to force her to stay. Not that that'd be a problem - Alpha Dean did as he pleased. When a chance encounter brings Audrey and Dean face-to-face, both of their lives are turned upside down. As they endure the new challenges life has presented them, they find that they possess the power to either build each other up, or tear each other apart. ______________________ #1 in Werewolf 4/12/2020 #1 in Love 4/16/2020 Cover by @victoriapinkglitter LUNAS SERIES ORDER: -Luna Hana -Luna Lena -Luna Audrey -Luna Zahra -Luna Skylar -Luna Brenna -Luna Melody **Luna Hana and Luna Lena are the first two books in the series.

A casual meeting, them feeling the sparks and being overwhelmed by the scent. But now I found myself with the one choice I had left.

Will she be able to stay hidden long enough to not get caught? Or will she fall into the hands of a trap? With her mate close on her tail, how will she ever hide? ... COMPLETED!!!!

The elusive Striker Alpha, known only as Xander, is hellbent on his mission.

Holly and River must find a means of overcoming the mountainous hurdles placed before them, all while ensuring the safety of their family and pack, and werewolves everywhere.

"Hey Gamma." Alice giggles looking up to me, not even noticing that Jay has gone. Her cheeks have a pink hue to them from all the Vodka, her eyes are full of mischief as she goes to take another sip. I quickly grab the drink from her hand before it can reach her lips and throw it away into a nearby bush without a second thought. "Yeah, you're done with that, Wonderland." I grin at her as she scowls at me. "Hey!" Alice protests. She gets to her feet, a little wobbly. Then stands on the log she was just sat on, so she is at my height. She puts her hands on her hips and scrunches up her eyes as if to try and get me into focus. "I'm not scared of you, Gamma! You can't just take a girls drink you know!" She slurs out as she pokes my chest now with an accusing index finger. Anyone else would be in a world of pain for talking to me like this, but all I want to do is pull her into my arms and kiss her till her lips are bruised and swollen. She's fucking adorable when drunk. Not giving a fuck if anyone's watching us or not, I step forward, crowding right into her space making her physically gulp at our proximity. "I don't scare you huh?" I growl at her in a deep but quiet voice. She bites her lip, but not out of fear, she likes it when I talk to her like this. "You don't look like the big-bad-wolf to me." She whispers. "What do I look like to you?" I rasp out quietly as her fingertips continue featherlight touches to my lips. "I don't know...something..." She breathes, her eyes crease with both confusion and fascination. ---------- Labelled as having a dangerous wild wolf, Alice is left feeling isolated on her family's farm for most of her childhood. However, now she is of age, she can finally follow her dreams and compete to be on the elite enforcers squad and win the heart of long-time crush Beta Jay.
