The Veiled Luna

She was born the alpha's daughter. They raised her as nothing. For generations, the Calder well and Grimshaw packs have fought over the land between them, stealing territory, breaking treaties and spilling blood. No one remembers why the war began. They only know they must never stop wanting more. Then, one night, the greatest witch of her time was murdered on Grimshaw land. Elara Calder well was found dead, and beside her, untouched, lay her little daughter. No one could explain how the child survived. The Calder wells blamed the Grimshaw. The Grimshaw's denied it. And the war became worse than ever. Years later, that little girl has grown up in the shadows of her own home. Celia Calder well has no wolf, no magic and no place in her family. Her father has remarried and barely looks at her. Her stepmother and stepsister treat her like a servant. Her grandmother, a powerful witch who once had great plans for her, now calls her a useless mutt. Every day brings more chores, more insults and less hope. She has even stopped believing she will ever have a mate. So when the heir of the Grimshaw pack and his men kidnap her, Celia doesn't scream. She doesn't fight. She climbs onto his horse and goes willingly, because nothing waiting for her could be worse than home. But Kael Grimshaw isn't the monster she was raised to fear. To the world, she is his prisoner. In truth, he gives her what her family never did: kindness, safety and respect. And every time he touches her, she feels a strange warmth she can't explain. Kael has spent years searching for his mate, waiting for the moment he would know her at first sight. But the wolf less girl from the enemy pack stirs something in him he doesn't understand. As the rivalry between the two families explodes, the Calder wells suddenly want Celia back at any cost. The father who ignored her and the grandmother who despised her will do whatever it takes to reclaim her and even Kael's own father begins to wonder what this girl is truly worth. Because Celia was never powerless. On the night she died, Elara hid something inside her daughter. Something ancient. Something tied to the very land both packs have been fighting over for centuries. And the moment it awakens, everyone will want to own her. Kael refuses to let her go. But as buried secrets rise to the surface, Celia must uncover the truth about the night her mother was murdered, and about who she really is. Who killed Elara Calderwell? What did she hide inside her daughter? And will the love between the enemy heir and the girl with no wolf be strong enough to survive a war that was never really about land?
