He was the quiet protector, the man who would have given everything for her, but their different stations in life made it impossible. Then the war came, and Adrian vanished-believed dead. Now, five years later, Selene is struggling to survive as a commoner, working in a printing press that secretly supports the revolution. When Adrian reappears, he is no longer the man she remembers-he is hardened, a leader of the rebellion, and she is on the wrong side of his cause. But fate is cruel. When Selene is falsely accused of being a spy and thrown into prison, it is Adrian who is ordered to interrogate her. Old feelings resurface, but in a world where trust is scarce and betrayal means death, love is the most dangerous thing of all.

The bar smelled of rotting wood and regret. Jay Boron’s cheek clung to the sticky countertop, the grain of the wood imprinting itself into his skin like a brand. Somewhere beyond the fog in his skull, a glass shattered. Laughter erupted—sharp, guttural, wrong. It slithered into his ears and coiled there, morphing into the wet, choking coughs of men drowning in their own blood. Tom’s cough. Tom’s laugh. “Get up, you dumb oaf!” A meaty fist slammed down beside Jay’s head. He flinched, the barstool screeching like a shell whistling overhead. His eyelids peeled open, crusted with sleep and something darker. The face looming over him was a ruddied moon, pockmarked and sneering. Nikolai. The butcher from the market, reeking of cabbage and cruelty. “You’ve been hogging the bar spot since sunrise,” Nikolai spat, flecks of spittle glinting in the greasy lamplight. “Some of us actually work for our drink.” Jay’s tongue felt like a corpse in his mouth.

[WSA 2025 ENTRY] I Was the Luna Who Loved Him, Now I’m the Luna Who Will Ruin Him Synopsis Selene Callista was once the beloved Luna of the Silvercrest Pack. She thought she had everything—a strong mate, a respected title, and a place to call home. But beneath the surface, her world was crumbling. Her mate, Alpha Damian Blackwood, only married her because fate demanded it. He never loved her. He never wanted her. And when she failed to conceive an heir after three years, he found comfort in another woman—Lillith Vaughn, the beautiful and cunning she-wolf who had been Selene’s closest friend. The ultimate betrayal came when Lillith announced she was carrying Damian’s child. But before Selene could process the pain, she was framed for killing the unborn pup. Damian, blinded by rage, cast her aside, condemning her to death. And as if that weren’t enough, her father—her only true protector—was slaughtered for daring to defend her. Burned at the stake, Selene’s last thoughts weren’t of sorrow but of vengeance. Then she woke up. Sixteen again. Seven years before her death. This time, she knows the truth. Damian was never her fated mate—he was a curse in disguise. Lillith was never a friend—she was a snake waiting to strike. And Selene? She was never weak—she was just too blind to see the power she held. With the Moon Goddess guiding her, Selene vows to change her fate. She will protect her father, save her mother, and destroy those who seek to use and betray her. She will not waste her love on Damian. She will not be fooled by Lillith’s lies. But there’s one thing she didn’t expect—Killian Voss. The feared Alpha of the Nightshade Pack. Ruthless. Unforgiving. A man of few words and deadly actions. Selene barely remembers the boy she once saved from a rogue attack when she was ten, but Killian has never forgotten her. He searched for her, only to arrive too late, finding nothing but ashes. Now, like her, he’s been given a second chance. And this time, he won’t let history repeat itself. But fate is never kind. Damian, the mate who discarded her, begins to crave the woman she’s becoming. Lillith, no longer just a scheming mistress, has become something much darker—an experiment of a secret human laboratory, enhanced with a power no werewolf can match. And Selene, caught between past and present, must decide whether to fight for revenge… or for a future she never thought possible. Because this time, she won’t just rewrite her destiny—she will set the entire werewolf world on fire.
