They called her the damned child. He called her his only hope.
Bellatrix Moonshine has never been able to escape the shadows of her past. Branded as dangerous since childhood, she hides her scars behind computer screens and sharp wit, keeping everyone at a distance. Everyone but Theo and Sammy-the two boys who grew up by her side, the only ones who saw her as more than a curse.
When Sammy and Theo stumble onto a stolen flash drive linked to the very secrets Bella has tried to bury, the three of them are pulled into a web of conspiracies, lies, and old enemies. To protect her friends, Bella must confront the truth she's spent her whole life running from.
But some secrets don't stay buried. And some feelings can't be ignored.
As the danger closes in, Bella and Theo find themselves caught between fear and longing, trust and betrayal. Together, they'll have to decide if love is strong enough to survive the darkness-or if Bella's past will tear them apart before they've even had the chance to begin.
Mystery, romance, and dark secrets collide in The Damned Child, a story of love tested by shadows, friendship pushed to its limits, and the fight to reclaim a future that was never meant to exist.

For the Taking ✅
The girl with no wolf. An extra mouth to feed. A liability. A defenseless miscreation. Seraphina had heard it all. She had felt it all too. The bone aching bruises, the defenseless claw scratches just shy of her neck on the edges of her collarbone, she had seen it all too. It had been so long since it had started that she couldn't recall a time when the degradation was compliments and not insults. Now, it was all she ever expected. If she had known five years ago that not having a wolf would cause this much hate she would have begged her parents to move to another pack. It felt like an eternity since it all happened. Or rather what didn't happen. She still could not shift. She was defective. A mistake in the gene pool. But she didn't know she would end up like this. She couldn't have, just like she couldn't have expected to come face to face with the Alpha Slayer. A man casted in shadow. Not many had ever seen his face, but that didn't make him any less real. Alphas after all were dethroned from the likes of him. Word spreads quickly. So, when Seraphina ends up in his line of sight she has a lot more to figure out than just not having a wolf, because it very well might cost her, her life.

Is he her safe place to land? Chapter 23 Peek: "Maybe start with no more lying to her?" Miles butted in, his glare sharp enough to cut, the frustration rolling off him in waves. "Easier said than done, and you know that, Miles." I took another long drag off the cigarette, the smoke burning down my throat but doing nothing to loosen the knot in my chest. "Yeah, doesn't mean I don't believe you both should've been more honest," Miles shot back, shrugging like he was trying to play it casual, but his jaw was tight, and his eyes stayed locked on me, daring me to argue. "Trey just loves getting in the way and dividing people," I growled, the words coming out rough. "He singles out the weak and isolates them until he can strike. I'm not saying Maya is weak, because she's fucking not, but this motherfucker has done nothing but manipulate her." "I don't disagree with you, but this is on you, too, Gray." Miles' voice dropped, cold and direct, the frustration finally cracking through. "You fucked up - don't just blame it on the narcissistic psychopath. So does that mean if she asks us to stop keeping watch, are you going to give in?" "Well, I wouldn't really have much of a fucking choice, now would I?" I sighed, rolling my eyes as I finished the beer, the empty bottle suddenly feeling too light in my hand.
