The Last Touched: Rite of Queens

Giulietta
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Book 1 is completed. I'm going to spend the next few weeks revising and editing that to add in more spicy content before launching book 2. You'll see a preview of the first couple chapters in Book 2 here if you'd like to read ahead. Enjoy! SYNOPSIS: Trapped in an endless time loop by the gods who once loved and betrayed each other, Queen Elsbeth Moonchild wakes to a life already written—and a fate she never agreed to. She believes she’s undergoing the sacred Rite of Queens, chosen to lead her pack through strength and flame. But the truth is far more dangerous. Centuries ago, the Moon Goddess and her fallen lover—the Sun God turned mad Watcher—shattered the balance of the world. As punishment for their war, they bound themselves into a cycle of rebirth and ruin. To break it, the Moon Goddess sent one final piece into play: Elsbeth. Gifted with powerful flame magic and unknowingly cast into the life of the earthbound god Fenrir's original mate -- the first queen to ever truly bond to the Moon Goddess, Elsbeth is the first soul not written into the Watcher's story—and the only one who might rewrite it. Bound to her is Fenrir, the god of wild things, imprisoned in wolf flesh and cursed to relive this broken timeline again and again. He has watched Elsbeth die more times than he can bear. This time, he swears to change the ending. As Elsbeth navigates court intrigue, a divided country, genocide and growing supernatural threats, she begins to unravel the truth of the world she inherited—and the daughter she will bring into it. But Elder MoonChild's warning is clear: "Your child carries the blood of flame and rot. She will either save or destroy the world. And you, Elsbeth, must choose which. You must kill her to save the world." Now, with prophecy shadowing her every step, and love burning hotter than ever before, Elsbeth must decide: Is she just another pawn in a divine war? Or is she the fire that ends it?

The Alpha's Regret: Return Of The Betrayed Luna

[Mature Content] [18+ Only] [Smut] "Then let's dissolve our mate bond and reject each other! That way, you can make Claire your official Luna!" Addison's chest rose and fell violently, her breaths ragged with fury. "Who said you could leave? You are MINE!" Zion turned feral and took Addison back to their chambers and ravaged her for three days and three nights... "I'll make sure you're tied to this bed, and your legs are so weak you won’t even be able to stand," Zion snarled, pinning her down. His dark eyes flickered with gold, a clear sign that his wolf was watching her from just beneath the surface. ... Because they never truly tried to understand each other, their relationship was filled with misunderstandings. Zion, blinded by his petty pride and desire for revenge, refused to defend himself. He wanted Addison to pay for what he believed she owed him, but that very resentment became his own downfall. Addison, on the other hand, couldn’t wait forever for him to let go of his hatred and pain. She was ready to walk away. But when she finally disappeared from his world, Zion lost his mind. He turned his own pack upside down in a desperate bid to avenge the abuse and torture she had suffered. Yet it was too late—she was gone. And worst of all, he never had the chance to tell her the truth: the pup in the other woman's belly wasn’t his. He couldn’t openly reveal it either, because that woman held a special status they couldn’t afford to offend. Zion had sent Addison away to protect her from being killed, but his pride had cost him everything. Hurting her became his greatest regret—one that overshadowed even the death of his father, the former Alpha. But the Moon Goddess had other plans. Their paths crossed once again. And then, Zion saw her. No, them. Addison had a son. No—she had sons. There was another one. Regret clawed at him. He had once taunted her, wanting to break her, but now all he wanted was to make amends—to reclaim the family he had lost. But how? The gap between them was wider than ever. She wasn’t someone he could simply walk up to anymore. Would he ever get the chance to fix what he had broken? Or would Addison choose the mate her father, the Alpha King, had picked for her? After all, she wasn’t just anyone—she was the Alpha King’s only daughter, destined to be the first female Alpha King in history.
