MOON'S REBELLION
Werewolf The alpha's daughter, Lyra, has always known her duty to the pack. As the future alpha female, she's expected to mate with Axel, the pack's fiercest warrior. Their union would ensure strong leadership and powerful offspring. But fate has other plans.
On a routine border patrol, Lyra encounters a lone wolf - rugged, mysterious, and undeniably alluring. His name is Raven, an outcast with a dark past. The moment their eyes meet, an undeniable bond forms - the rare and sacred true mate connection.
Torn between duty and desire, Lyra keeps her encounter secret. But as the mating ceremony with Axel approaches, she finds herself drawn back to the forest, seeking Raven. Their clandestine meetings intensify the bond, making it increasingly difficult for Lyra to imagine a life without him.
Meanwhile, Axel grows suspicious of Lyra's distracted behavior. The pack begins to whisper about her suitability as a future leader. Lyra's father, the current alpha, senses something amiss but can't pinpoint the cause of his daughter's inner turmoil.
As the mating ceremony looms ever closer, Lyra must make an impossible choice: honor her duty to the pack by mating with Axel, or follow her heart and risk everything for a chance at true love with Raven. The stability of the pack hangs in the balance, and the consequences of her decision will ripple through the entire werewolf community.
What unforeseen complications might arise if Lyra chooses to reject her arranged mate in favor of the mysterious lone wolf? SILICONE HEARTSTRING: A TALE OF LOVE AND DISRUPTION

***
BOOK ONE:
After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner.
King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her.
But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?

One day, after working herself to the bone, she discovered that Brandon had been cheating on her with his true mate for quite some time now. And as if it couldn't get any worse, it is revealed to her that Alpha Tyler was the killer of her parents.
It felt like the world had completely turned against her. But all of a sudden, a handsome and soon-to-be powerful Alpha named Peter came into her life, claiming that she was his mate.
