For as long as she could remember, Valeska had been an outcast. Born unable to shift, she was branded a curse by her mother and blamed for her father’s death when vampires raided their pack twelve years ago. The night he died, her mother made her feelings painfully clear: “If I hadn’t saved you that night, Theone would still be alive! I wish I had fought by his side and let you die!” Now, her mother sees an opportunity to be rid of her for good—by sending her to the annual Mating Moon Ball. There, Valeska meets her fated mate, Nevian Ashbourne, Alpha of the powerful Emberwood Pack. But instead of acceptance, she is met with cruel rejection. “You’re wolfless and weak. A disgrace. How could I ever make you my Luna?” Just as she prepares to leave, shattered, Nevian discovers that Valeska is tied to an ancient prophecy—one that could change the fate of the supernatural world. And so, he makes her an offer: stay by his side, not as his mate, but as his possession. A deal that ensures he will help her through her heat each month, binding her to him in ways she never wanted. But Valeska refuses to be used. She runs—straight into the hands of the man who has haunted her nightmares for years. Kieran Rutherford. The ruthless vampire warlord feared by all living creatures. The monster who killed her father. At first, Kieran intends to do what he should have done years ago—kill her. After all, she is the girl foretold to be his doom. But when he learns she is also the key to unlocking the cursed stones, an ancient source of power beyond imagination, his plans change. Will he use her, break her, and discard her once he gets what he wants? Or will the wolfless, unwanted girl make his long-dead heart beat once again? And what will Valeska do when she finds herself drawn to the very monster who took everything from her?

Betrayed, sold into slavery, and forced into submission, she awakens an ancient, forbidden magic that allows her to turn the tables on those who seek to use her. Now, with lust as her greatest weapon, Selene must navigate a world where men crave her, women envy her, and enemies fear her. But as she walks the path of seduction and destruction, she must choose—consume the world in passion and vengeance, or surrender to a love that threatens to tame her darkness.

I saw how cruel the real world can be. At the age of only 16 I died miserably with no one to mourn my death. I was alone and also left alone. Maybe I was just born to suffer and only suffer. I thought I was finally free from all these uncomfortable things after I died... But then, I was reincarnated into another world. It was a world of cultivation where everyone strives to get more powers so to stand at the top of the food chain. Very different from my previous world, this world was ruthless, weak were slaves and strong were respected out of fear or awe. Its like watching an anime became real. Maybe this time it will be different but I was wrong again. Instead it became a fickle hope I shouldn't have. Again, I was abandoned at birth by biological parents and had no one by my side just like before... 'This time too I am alone and will be left alone..' I thought, having no hope, no emotion, no one to help me in this cold, dark forest. What awaits me was only a death either be eaten by ferocious monsters or by starving my just born body. Just as I was about to give up this life too I saw a most gorgeous person who gave a warm feeling I had never felt before. He pulled me out of this darkness and even filled up all the holes with love and care I had missed in my broken heart. He was the only sun shinning for me. Only after I was taken out from the darkness and was raised by him I found how beautiful and ethereal this feeling called 'love' is... ***** A/N:: Little bit of sadness and happiness wouldn't be that bad. Writing for the first time, there might be many error and Grammer mistake so your suggestion will be my guidelines. Thank you! ❣️
