Esmane Prince has spent seventeen years trying to keep the identities of her and her daughter Alora, hidden away from normal werewolf packs with their alphas, and the curse that had plagued their kind since the supernatural world was created. But no matter how hard she tried, the curse still found it’s way to them the night Alora turned eighteen and the future leader of their lone wolf pack tried to take her as his chosen mate despite her protests. Left on her own to deal with the aftermath of that night, she soon finds herself among humans that help her to trust again and love her through the demons and nightmares that rule her life. Acyn Romero, the future Alpha of the Golden Moon territory, has also known his share of betrayal and heartache himself. He hasn’t lost hope on finding his true mate when he starts having mysterious dreams and encounters with a beautiful, broken, and mysterious woman that has captured his heart. He soon finds that she is real and finds her in Crescent City, where he is preparing to move his pack’s businesses into the future. He discovers that the path to winning her heart is laden with hurdles and barriers that he will have to overcome if he wants her to love him. Will they both be brave enough to overcome their pasts and learn to trust and love those the Moon Goddess has placed around them? Will they accept the destinies they were born into and fight for those who cannot fight for themselves? ********************************************** “I felt all of it breaking apart inside of me. Everything that had been built up these some 20 years of constant fear, pessimism, anger, betrayal, disappointment, everything that ever happened. The deeper I went, the harder I cried until there was nothing left but peace and joy. I felt their love replacing it, and bright, warm light infiltrating my heart, spirit and soul, consuming the darkness. I was finally free.” – Alora, The Moonstone Wolf Warning: This book contains TRIGGERS for s****l abuse, s****l situations, and light torture (nothing too graphic or over-the-top and doesn't glorify it). DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED BY THESE TOPICS. There will be a warning before each chapter and when it ends, just to help you navigate through the scenes. It has been and always will be my main goal to convey the message of hope, healing, friendship, and redemption to those who have been abused, and to not give up in seeking help. I am here to EMPOWER victims, not to glorify the abusers, and will NEVER intentionally push the characters or readers so hard that it crosses that personal boundary of mine. I promise that this book is not always dark and that it gets better and brighter. But sometimes to appreciate the bright light for what it is, you have to see the darkness the characters have gone through and walked away from. With this being said, proceed with caution for this episode.
