But when he touches her, something inside her stirs… Desires? Yes! Powers hidden by the moon goddess? Yes! And maybe just maybe, the stirrings of her missing wolf whose voice can calm feral wolves and heal … Can she learn to trust this man whose mouth says a different thing and his hands speak another language or would she become a pawn – a piece of chess in the games ‘Alphas play’?

In a realm where dragons once lived as humans, cursed to exist as beasts until their stone hearts are awakened, the young dragon Ioulos finds himself in turmoil. Although he enjoys the freedom of being a dragon, he yearns for a heartbeat—a genuine human connection—but hesitates to reclaim his lost humanity. Princess Genoa, who possesses the extraordinary ability to bring harmony to those around her, feels a deep-seated void in her seemingly idyllic life. When their paths intersect, an unexpected friendship blossoms, fueled by curiosity and a shared longing for something beyond their understanding. Together, they might discover revelations that could alter their destinies, but the cost of their bond could be steep. Princess Genoa has always lived among dragons, yet her father strictly prohibits any interaction, fearing that her unique gift could awaken a dragon’s dormant heart and forge an unbreakable link. Despite her father's warnings, she is drawn to the dragons' strength and grace, particularly to Ioulos. When she sneaks into Uilliam’s castle to observe the dragons during their annual gathering, a fleeting encounter with Ioulos ignites a connection that neither can dismiss. Captivated by his warmth, she returns to her town, eager to learn more about him, and embarks on a quest to find his castle. However, she accidentally stumbles into Nahum's lair and finds herself ensnared by the dragon, only to be saved by Ioulos, who arrives just in time. Though rattled, she escapes, left bewildered by her feelings for him. Meanwhile, Ioulos grapples with whether he has done enough to keep her safe. As tensions rise among the dragons and preparations for Genoa's arranged marriage to Prince Yaakov begin, her growing bond with Ioulos complicates her future. Ioulos sends an enigmatic letter inviting Genoa to his castle. Although she tells her attendant a little white lie about shopping for a gift for Yaakov, she secretly sets off toward Ioulos’s domain. Upon her arrival, Ioulos greets her with a hint of nervousness and ushers her into his magnificent, dragon-themed castle. As they enjoy a meal together, their connection deepens, with Genoa making it clear that her visit to Nahum's lair was solely to find him, not to explore the homes of all dragons. As they navigate their evolving relationship, Genoa confides in Ioulos about her impending marriage to Prince Yaakov, aware that their time together is fleeting. Ioulos presents her with a stunning gown, and despite the uncertainties that lie ahead, both feel a mix of excitement and apprehension about what the future holds, unsure of where their shared curiosity might take them. It’s a tale in which the lines between protagonist and antagonist blur, revealing the hidden depths of their true selves.

And what will Valeska do when she finds herself drawn to the very monster who took everything from her?

Groomed to be the next king, Xavier is pressured to choose a mate from noble alpha or beta houses to strengthen alliances. However, his heart is closed off, burdened by duty and a tragic past. Meanwhile, deep in the outskirts of the kingdom, lives Vale Rivers, a soft-spoken but fiercely independent omega who hides his secondary gender to avoid exploitation. Kael dreams of freedom beyond the rigid confines of societal roles, never imagining his destiny is intertwined with royalty. Their worlds collide during the annual Moonlit Rite, a sacred festival where fated pairs are revealed through an ancient bond. When Xavier is drawn to an unassuming stranger in the crowd, he realizes Vale is his destined mate—a bond unbreakable yet forbidden in the eyes of tradition. As the story unfolds, Xavier must protect Vale from political conspiracies, jealous rivals, and those who wish to exploit their union. At the same time, Vale challenges the alpha prince's notions of strength and leadership, teaching him that vulnerability and love are the greatest forms of power. Together, they must navigate a world that threatens to tear them apart while uncovering secrets about their bond that could change Eryndor forever.

But his heroics come at a cost: an experimental airship crashes, and a major spell goes haywire. To make matters worse, Oliver discovers that the storm was no accident.

Oliver Queen awakens to a rebirth in a fantastical world where divine blessings dictate one's destiny and societal standing. Without any supernatural powers or sacred blessings, he stands as an outcast in a society that venerates such gifts. Refusing to be marginalized, Oliver discovers an innate talent for archery, a skill that requires precision, patience, and practice rather than magic. To secure a place in a prestigious academy and a chance at a better life, he fabricates a blessing from the Moon Goddess, claiming it grants him unerring aim. His deception gains him admission, but it also sets him on a precarious path where each day is a tightrope walk between advancement and exposure. Amidst the halls of the academy, Oliver experiences the warmth of friendship, the stirrings of first love, and the comfort of belonging, feelings he had long forsaken. However, his inability to fully embrace these connections leaves him isolated, and over time, they begin to fade away like echoes in a vast canyon. When he's unexpectedly selected to represent his class in the school's annual competition, Oliver's secret teeters on the brink of revelation. The event includes a stringent blessing verification test overseen by the formidable dean, designed specifically to unmask impostors. With the walls closing in, he contemplates drastic measures to protect his secret, even as he realizes that running away may cost him the very things he's come to value.

He resolves to rely on his own hard-earned skills and the genuine relationships he's begun to form. Along the way, he attempts to reclaim the friendships and affections he once neglected, understanding that true strength comes not from divine blessings but from within.
