Black Moon Pack Book 1: Falling for Storm

by Isabel S. Knight

She was pure perfection, and I couldn’t help but utter the words that I had been wanting to say since the day we met. “I love you, Amara. I love you with every fiber of my being. I will serve, protect, and stand by you even through hell. I will both live and die for you.”

Amara’s thrilled for a fresh start at Duke—full scholarship, new city, clean slate. But her plans take a wild turn when she meets Storm, the dangerously magnetic alpha who claims she’s his fated mate. Suddenly, she’s plunged into a world of secrets, power, and supernatural laws she never knew existed. She should run. Instead, she’s pulled deeper. The bond is ancient, the pull undeniable, and Storm? He’d burn the world to protect her. As passion ignites and truths unravel, Amara must decide if she’s ready to step into a destiny she never asked for.

The Lost Princess

The Lost Princess

by Holly Prange

He’s a wolf. A massive, fearsome wolf standing atop the ridge, his long fur whipping about him in the frenzied wind. He turns his glowing eyes to me, and I feel a shiver run down my spine.

I watch his teeth bare in a furious snarl.

I should be frightened. No, I should be terrified. But instead, a feeling of calm I haven’t experienced in years washes over me.

I stop running, my eyes glued to the wolf, now mere feet away from me.

“Hello, little mate,” says his voice in my head.

And then, with a thrill of terror, I watch the beast jump right at me, claws flashing.

When Everly is sold by her aunt to Lord Vlad Lacroix, she is forced to fight for her life in a seedy underworld of monsters thirsty for her virginal blood. Everything changes, however, the day she crosses paths with Alpha Logan. Can he save her from being sold yet again? Or is it already too late?

The Half Blood

The Half Blood

by Laura B.L.

Two shadowy figures walked toward each other, their gazes locked. With every step they took, they became more clear, the orange light flickering off of their almost-naked bodies. From where I stood, only their faces remained hidden.

The second they touched, my body lit up. As the man’s hands circled the woman’s hips, I felt his fingers dig into my own body. As he kissed her neck, I felt his lips against my skin, all the way down to my collarbone and back up to my ear lobe. His face was buried in her neck, hers was visible now. She had the very same blue eyes I had been looking at in the mirror my whole life. The woman in the vision was me…

When Nala, a half-witch half-werewolf hybrid, visits the Royal Lycan Realm, the last thing she expects to do is take part in the annual Hunt, an ancient mating ritual cherished by the Lycan King himself. Now she’s running through the forest, and King Alaric is gaining on her. Will she keep running forever? Or will she let him catch her and become his Queen?
