BOOK I IN THE MOONBOUND SAGA

❝ He who fights with monsters, should see to it that he does not become a monster himself. And if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you also. ❞ [Friedrich Nietzsche]

The night Vaelin Dain was torn apart by the full moon, he lost more than just his humanity. He lost control. He lost the life he once knew. In its place stepped something dark and relentless. Now the hunt consumes him. The beast that cursed him still roams free, leaving carnage in its wake. Vaelin follows, his thirst for revenge as sharp as the blade he wields through bloodstained streets and dark forests.

But Vaelin is not alone. Eryx Altair, a lone hunter with secrets of his own, walks a dangerous path at his side. His own past is marked by the same curse Vaelin is trying to escape. Their bond is forged in blood and steel, a fragile link that teeters between mistrust and something far more dangerous: the budding trust and a deeper, forbidden longing.

As the line between human and beast grows ever thinner, Vaelin must confront not only the monster within and the darkness without, but also the unexpected attraction of a man who could be his salvation or his downfall. With each full moon, the abyss draws closer, and with it the choice between vengeance and mercy, destruction and love.

Another Mate by MissBonnett
1 part Ongoing
BOOK TWO of 'My Mate, His Mate, and Me'. Raphael and Julian agree to fake a romantic relationship so Raphael can avoid a political marriage and Julian can simply be left alone, but when Raphael desires something more real and Julian can taste a normal life, he must learn to control his powers or he'll end up breaking the promise Raphael made to his first mate and he'll never be able to mate again. # UPDATING ON PATREON (when completed, I will be updating here) Without a mate, as an Alpha, Raphael is the most eligible bachelor around, but he doesn't want outside influences deciding what he should do with his life. He'd rather be single. Julian just wants to be left alone. Julian still can't control his powers and now that the world knows he exists, this Oracle is desired for all the wrong reasons. The obvious solution (to Raphael) is to fake date. He'll keep dangerous wolves away from Julian and if Raphael's not single, he can't be forced into a political marriage. But fake dating is harder than it seems, especially when the feelings are getting more and more real. Even if they were to try-really try-Julian couldn't. He can't even touch Raphael. Let alone kiss him or hold his hand or... do much more. Not that Julian wants to anyways. Right? Fake and real blur as the boys spend more and more time together. Julian had never met anyone not trying to use his weakness against him and gets too comfortable. So comfortable, he forgets himself and accidently sees a vision of Raphael's past. The promise Raphael made to his first mate, Carrie. A promise Julian is forcing Raphael to break. Julian was so obsessed with making himself better, he never thought he might be bad for Raphael. # Julian's Story from "My Mate, His Mate, and Me". For more context, please read "My Mate, His Mate, and Me"!

18+ Werewolf Romance (read at your own discretion) "If I find you soaked for me below your nightdress, then I am going to do terrible things to you, Lavelle." His dark promise fuels my desire. I grab his wrist where it rests against my thigh, stopping it before it can travel upward. "Wait." His mouth curves into a smile against the side of my neck. "Troubled about what I may find?" +++ Lavelle has never considered herself lucky. That changes on the night she secures an invitation to a coveted ball. There, she meets a charming Alpha, who takes a singular interest in her. A single night leads to Lavelle being swept up into another world entirely, where she is doted on by a handsome Alpha who speaks of marrying her. While she considers their meeting fate, the Alpha has dark and terrible intentions that aren't revealed until his mysterious and beautiful cousin, Zyre, arrives to challenge his title, and to take all that he belongs to him- including Lavelle. Suddenly attached to a new Alpha who she feels inexplicably drawn to, Lavelle struggles with the dark realities of her past, and the growing bond between her and the enigmatic Zyre.
