A blood-red moon hangs swollen in a sky of restless clouds, its glow spilling across the world like a wound that refuses to close. The outline of a castle rises against it-spires jagged as broken teeth, swallowed half in mist, half in shadow. From the moon, a murder of crows takes flight, black wings slicing through crimson light. Their cries echo across the barren trees that line the foreground, their twisted roots alive with faint veins of red, as if the forest itself drinks from the bleeding sky. Crimson feathers drift down through the air, too heavy to belong to the crows, too strange to fall by chance. They catch in the wind, glowing faintly, as if carrying secrets only the moon dares to tell. And beneath it all, silence reigns-thick, waiting, as though the night itself has been bound in knots, every strand pulled tighter by unseen hands. At the bottom, etched in bold scarlet letters that seem to flicker like embers: THE SCARLET KNOT

Book 1 in the Blood Series (Under construction and editing) Prologue The full moon lurked over a town called Raven-wood Hills. This was a type of nightmare humans called The Dead Night. No one came out after dark when a full moon raked over the town. This night had been initiated in the early centuries when the pack entered the town. This was a night that the werewolves ruled the streets. They would roam around the town after the sun had fallen and the moon rose. Rumors of murders and the legends of werewolves roaming the streets had spread like wildfire. Yet some have tested that we don't really exist in "their" so-called world and they have perished in an instant. Some lucky ones who were blessed by the grace of the Alpha have survived and spoke about their experiences. One man, in particular, had a more interesting story than the others. The man had finally come out of hiding and spoke of the horrors he had witnessed. Oh, the horrors of a wolf that never leaves the Alpha's side. The man swears on his life he had seen Satan himself inside the she-wolf, he told the town that she was under the alpha's power doing exactly what he has asked of her. The man told the horror of what she would do with men and women who would cross her alpha, and he described this she-wolf as a gorgeous woman, her beauty was so alluring yet the coldness and hate in her eyes rendered you from getting near her. She had to be a Siren crossed breed, the man said. An evil temptress on land, the only horror that walked this earth. He warned the town. "Do not tempt and belittle the Alpha of the werewolves for, you will be placed under a spell of fear and death of this Siren Demon."
