*COMPLETED*
She was never supposed to be the one.
And yet the moon is counting her down.
Lena's life is quiet, predictable, and built on things she understands-long hospital shifts, a loving boyfriend, and a future that makes sense on paper. She believes in ordinary. In safety. In choosing love because it's steady, not because it burns.
Then she meets Elias.
From the moment he steps into her orbit, something inside her awakens-an impossible pull that defies logic and refuses to be ignored. Elias knows what Lena is long before she does. He knows the truth about the bond tying them together, the supernatural world she's never seen, and the deadline looming over her life.
Because some connections aren't meant to be chosen.
They claim you.
With the Blood Moon approaching, Lena is forced to confront a truth that could fracture everything she knows: her heart, her identity, and the man who has loved her patiently for years are all at risk. Elias offers answers-but not all of them. Julian offers safety-but at the cost of watching her slip away.
Caught between destiny and devotion, instinct and loyalty, Lena must decide who she is willing to become... before the choice is taken from her entirely.
A slow-burn paranormal romance about love that feels like home, love that feels like gravity, and the terrifying cost of being chosen by the moon itself.

His tone was low and quiet. "A t-shirt?" "That would be great actually," I said, steadying my uneven breath. His eyes dropped to my shoulder where the strap of my dress had fallen again. I felt his fingertips on my skin as he lifted it and slid it back into place. "No problem," he murmured, his lips barely parting to let the words out. "Wouldn't want to wrinkle this beautiful dress." ©️Complete
