Twenty-year-old Alina Taylor was born under a cursed moon, shunned by her pack, and treated like a burden all her life. But when a violent power awakens inside her, the truth begins to unravel, she's no ordinary wolf. She's Moonborn, a child of prophecy destined to either heal the realm or burn it down. When her guardian strikes a deal to marry her off to a notorious brute, Alina runs right into the path of Lucan, the cold and powerful King of Werewolves. He's dangerous and feared, he has been haunted by visions of a girl who keeps saving his life in dreams he can't explain. Their worlds collide at the Moonrite Festival, and everything changes. As war brews and old enemies rise, Alina must choose who to trust, what to believe, and whether the fire inside her will be the realm's salvation or its ruin. In a world ruled by wolves, love might be the most dangerous thing of all.

MOONBOUND HEARTS Chapter 1 You live

"Witch," someone spat.

"Curse," another sneered.

They didn't lower their voices. They wanted me to hear.

Some turned their backs. Others just watched, waiting for me to disappear.

No one dared look me in the eye, they believed that I could make the strongest man bend at my will, just by staring into my eyes.

I kept walking, not saying a word. I bit back the tears that threatened to pour out. I fought the urge to turn and go back to the comfort of my room, away from the hateful stares.

I made my way into the woods, as I entered, the silence felt like salvation.

There was a fallen tree not far from the path, a place I usually went when it got too loud in my head.

I sank onto the bark and breathed in. The cold air felt clean here. The way it clung to my lungs almost made me feel alive again.

For a moment, I just sat there, soaking in the stillness. No one stared, no one whispered, Just trees, wind, and the rustle of leaves.

Then I heard footsteps.

"Some people really like pretending they matter," Lena's voice rang through the woods before I even saw her. "Walking around like they don't stink of bad luck."

I stopped. My hands curled into fists at my sides.

"Hey, Cursed One!" she called louder. " Did you Lose your way again? Or are you just trying to find a new hole to hide in?"

I stood up and turned around, my eyes were greeted with the familiar sight of Lena and her usual little crowd of four girls.

"I'm was just taking a walk," I said, trying to keep my voice steady.

"Oh, she talks now?" one of the girls snorted.

Another stepped forward. " You Must be feeling brave today."

I shook my head and started to walk past them, pretending they weren't there, but Lena sidestepped into my path.

"Uh-uh," she said. "We're not done."

"I don't want trouble."

Lena smirked. "Too late. You were born with it."

The girl to her left spat at my feet. "You should've been thrown out when you were a baby. Everyone knows you're a curse."

I kept my head down and tried to move around them, but Lena shoved me back hard.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Leave me alone," I said.

Slap! Lena napped me across my cheek. The sound came before I felt the pain on my cheek.

"Or what?" she sneered. "You'll cry to the trees?"

The second girl laughed and pushed me too. "awn, look at you acting all tough."

I held my ground, but the third girl stepped in and shoved me from behind, I stumbled forward fighting to gain my balance. Lena slapped me again this one harder than the first one.

The force of the slap sent me staggering backwards till I hit the ground, my hands scraped the dirt and my face almost falling into the dirt.

They all burst out laughing.

"Look at her," one of them said. "Miss Cursed on her knees."

"She looks better down there," Lena added. "Where filth belongs."

I stayed down there, there was nothing I could do, fighting back would only mean declaring war on the Alpha and his family.

"Pathetic," someone said. "She's not even fighting back."

They turned and walked off, still laughing, like what just happened meant nothing.

I waited until I couldn't hear them anymore.

Then I pulled myself up slowly, brushing the dirt from my palms, even though it didn't really matter.

No matter how hard I tried to stand tall, I still felt small. I walked out of the woods, not minding the tears that now streamed down my face and the stares I got.

Once I was far enough, I broke into a run, I didn't stop until I reached the house.

My feet hit the steps fast, and I slammed the door behind me, ignoring Douglass's voice calling faintly from the den.

I went to the drawer and pulled out the small, sharp blade I'd hidden months ago.

I sat on the floor, back against the bed, the blade trembling between my fingers.

Maybe they were right, maybe I was cursed. I thought. Maybe the world will be better without me

Tears blurred my vision as I pressed the metal to my skin.

As I raised my hand to finally put an end to my nightmare of a life. The door burst open

"Alina!"

It was Douglass.

His voice cracked like a whip. In seconds, the blade was out of my hands, he threw it across the room and grabbed my wrists.

His eyes locked on mine.

For a split second, I saw fear on his eyes . But it disappeared as fast as it came.

"Stupid girl," he muttered. "What were you thinking?"

I didn't answer, he let go of me and stood.

"I don't care what they said to you," he said, his voice cold again. "You don't get to take the easy way out."

My throat tightened, and I looked away, blinking out the tears that blurred my vision.

"You live. Do you hear me?"

Still, I said nothing.

"Don't ever try that again," he said without turning. "Next time, no one will stop you." Then he left.

And I was alone again.

Once the door was shut, I let the tears flow freely, crying my hearts out. Then, I drifted off while thinking of how it would feel to live in a world I actually belonged to.

The dream came fast, one moment I was on my bed, the next moment I was standing in a throne room.

Blood pooled around a dark throne. Shadows flickered along cracked walls, and I saw him again, the same man, tall and broad shouldered, he was cornered by enemies.

His chest was heaving, his knuckles were bloodied. He was fighting like a mad man.

No matter how he fought, he was loosing

A blade swung toward him from behind. I didn't think twice, I just moved, placing myself between him and the strike.

Instantly, I felt the pain of the sword stuck in my belly. He caught me just before I hit the ground.

His arms were tense with shock. "Why?" he asked His voice low.

"I don't know," I coughed out blood as I spoke. "why do I keep seeing you, I don't even know your name."

He leaned in, lips close enough to brush mine.

"You will."

I gasped and sat up.

Not again.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancĆ©, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancĆ©, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.
