Loneborn by ZaraValeAuthor

🌕 LONEBORN By Zara Vale She was born to run. But fate just caught up. Gaia has lived at the edge of things-an outcast marked by her wild red hair and wilder red-wolf instincts, hunted for reasons she barely understands. After her mother's brutal death, she survives the backroads alone, guided only by prickly resolve and the secrets she refuses to share. Connection is her greatest fear; staying too long is never an option. But under a rising full moon, everything changes. Pursued through unfamiliar woods, Gaia is cornered by an Alpha whose presence stirs something raw and unspoken inside her. What begins as a fight becomes a dangerous entanglement: a connection that defies her defenses, a night she cannot erase, and a consequence that could rewrite the destiny of all wolves. He doesn't know what she carries. She doesn't know who she's becoming. Now, Gaia must choose: run from a legacy written in blood and prophecy, or step into the wild dawn of her becoming. Author's Note: Loneborn wears the skin of a paranormal romance, but its heart beats with the lyricism and depth of literary fiction. This is a story for readers who crave both feral magic and the ache of survival, who seek romance woven through character and theme. 🌑 Disclaimer: This story is a work of fiction. All characters, events, and locations are products of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
