Luna never imagined she'd flee her own pack, but betrayal and a dark secret forced her paw. Now, wounded and hunted, she stumbles into Silver Creek territory-and into the arms of an Alpha who awakens more than just her wolf.
Callum never expected to find his mate in a half-dead stranger. But as Luna's walls crumble, he glimpses a strength that matches his own-and a past that threatens everything they're building together.
As their mate bond deepens, so do the dangers surrounding them. Luna's former pack, led by the ruthless Alpha Marcus, closes in, desperate to reclaim what she took when she fled. Caught between her growing feelings for Callum and the weight of her secrets, Luna must make an impossible choice: trust in her new mate and pack, or run to protect them from the storm that follows her?
In a world where love is a liability and trust comes at a deadly price, can Luna and Callum's bond survive the ultimate test?
...................................
Luna's scream pierced the night, jolting me awake. I found her huddled in the corner, her eyes wild with fear and glowing an unnatural silver.
"Luna?" I approached cautiously. "What's wrong?"
"Stay back!" she snarled, her voice distorted. "I can't... I can't control it, Callum."
Suddenly, she convulsed, and a burst of energy exploded from her, shattering every window in the room. As the glass rained down, I saw Marcus materialize in the doorway, his eyes gleaming with triumph.
"It's time, Luna," he purred. "You can't run from your destiny forever."
I moved to stand between them, my wolf rising to the surface. "You'll have to go through me first."
Marcus's laugh sent chills down my spine. "Oh, I'm counting on it, Alpha."
The Alpha's guarded mate was previously called The Alpha's Luna, A Destiny Divided.
Running.
Escaping.
My whole life had turned into a never-ending chase. A chase which the opponent had caught up to THIS VERY MOMENT. After I met HIM. The one and only HYBRID ALPHA.
I was tired. Tired of running from my past. No more. No more I promised myself. I let them catch up to me. I gave in. But once I did, I was separated from my Twin; (Alpha) Kane, taken to a new pack by my 'Mate' and now to keep my boredom at bay, I turn my attention to the mysterious being I call 'mate'. Knowing it's only a matter of time before I make a run for it back to my pack, my family.
Question to the unknown; how long will they run in circles? How long will they ignore the attraction? Most importantly how long before they realise they've fallen in love?
Will it be too late?...

"Tell me you don't feel something...between us."
"I d-don't." He replies instantly clenching his jaw.
"Good to know Xavious." I turn to get up but he stops me as usual.
"I don't know what it is..."
"It's nothing. Nothing Xavious. You walk like a brick wall whose not affected by anything or anyone." Before I could heave a breath he somehow managed to pull me under him.
I gasp at his fast movement amazed by his powers yet again. He trails his fingers down my shoulders to my curved hips as I place my palms on his hard yet smooth chest. Instantly his eyes close as if savouring the moment as does mine.
"I could've taken you whenever I would've pleased but I didn't" He says in a husky voice.
"Prove it."
