Alluring Secret Black Vow

In a realm where werewolves, dryads, and demons clash under the weight of prophecy, chaos reigns as an ancient battle leaves rivers of blood in its wake. Amid this turmoil, Calista struggles to find her place in a world that seems determined to break her. Despised by her family and yearning for their approval, Calista pins her hopes on turning eighteen and embracing her werewolf form. But even that isn’t enough to win her family’s love. Everything changes when she is unexpectedly chosen by Prince Ezekiel to be the future Luna of the Crescent Moon Pack—a decision that throws her life into deeper disarray. Her sister Emily, a rare talent and their father’s pride, is the clear favorite of the pack. The community grows resentful of Calista, questioning why someone so “unremarkable” has claimed the position they believe Emily deserves. But this petty rivalry is the least of her worries when Calista catches the eye of Alexander, an ancient demon with terrifying power. Alexander, who has long avoided the threat of a prophecy that foretells his downfall, identifies Calista as its key. With no memory of her true heritage, Calista’s blood holds a secret tied to the forbidden Land of Hades, and Alexander is determined to use her to open the portal that will grant him ultimate dominion. But there’s more to Calista than anyone suspects—even herself. As strange visions and haunting dreams plague her, she begins to uncover her connection to an ancient prophecy: “Defying the laws of nature brings ruin. The stars shall fall, rivers of blood will follow, and Hades will whisper your name. But you must not answer, or the realms will perish.” Caught in a web of lies, forbidden power, and impossible choices, Calista must decide whether to trust the demon who swore to destroy her—or embrace the legacy that could unravel the fabric of all creation. Will she open the gates to the Land of Hades and doom the world, or defy her fate at the cost of everything she holds dear?
