The moon hung low in the sky, swollen and heavy like it carried a secret too ancient to bear. It was Aria’s twenty-first birthday — a quiet celebration in the sleepy town of Silverpine, marked only by a cake from her foster parents and an eerie stillness in the air. She had always felt... different. But tonight, it was as if something in her blood had finally awakened.She couldn’t sleep. Her skin felt hot, her senses too sharp. She could hear every creak in the house, every whisper of wind beyond her window. And then — she heard it.

A howl.

Not like the ones she’d sometimes hear from the woods. No, this one was... calling to her. Deep, raw, and full of longing. She found herself drawn to it, like a tether had been fastened to her chest.Barefoot and barely aware, she slipped into a hoodie and stepped outside. The cold bit her skin, but something inside burned hotter. The forest loomed like a dream made real, shadows dancing beneath the trees. She walked deeper and deeper until the world of humans felt miles away.

Then she saw them—eyes. Glowing silver in the dark.

A wolf. Huge. Black as night and watching her like it knew her. It didn’t growl. It didn’t move. It simply stared.

And then it bowed its head.Her heart thudded.

Why aren’t you afraid? she wondered.

Why does this feel... right?

She took a step forward. The wolf turned and disappeared into the trees.

And that’s when she heard the voice—deep, commanding, not spoken aloud but inside her mind.

“You’re mine.”She stumbled back, trembling. Her head pounded. Her body shook violently. Her vision blurred—and then pain exploded through her. Her bones shifted. Her skin stretched. And then she screamed.

But the scream came out a howl.

Far away, deep in the mountains of Enigma, King Kael Raventhorn opened his eyes. His wolf stirred beneath his skin, restless and wild.

“She’s awakened,” he murmured.

His Beta, Dorian, turned to him in shock. “The Moon’s daughter?”

Kael rose to his full height. The air shimmered with power. His voice was dark, thick with emotion.

“My mate.”

Hold it, focus, hoping, take me back to the light

I know you were way too bright for me

I'm hopeless, broken, so you wait for me in the sky

Brown my skin just right

You're so golden

You're so golden

I'm out of my head, and I know that you're scared

Because hearts get broken

I don't wanna be alone

I don't wanna be alone when it ends

Don't wanna let you know

I don't wanna be alone

But I, I can feel it take a hold (I can feel it take a hold)

I can feel you take control (I can feel you take control)

Of who I am, and all I've ever known

Lovin' is the antidote

Golden

You're so golden

I don't wanna be alone

You're so golden

You're so golden

I'm out of my head, and I know that you're scared

Because hearts get broken

I know that you're scared because I'm so open

You're so golden

I don't wanna be alone

You're so golden

You're so golden

You're so golden

I'm out of my head, and I know that you're scared

Because hearts get broken

The wind howled across the jagged cliffs of Enigma, carrying with it the scent of fate. Kael stood at the edge of the temple ruins, where the moonlight struck the ancient stone and shimmered like silver fire. His wolf clawed just beneath his skin — primal, possessive, hungry.

He hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.

For centuries, the prophecy whispered of a child born of moonlight and hidden among humans. A girl with divine blood, daughter of Selene, the goddess who once walked among wolves before fading into the stars.

She was his mate.Kael clenched his jaw. “Prepare the riders,” he commanded Dorian. “We leave at dawn.”

The Beta didn’t question him. “The Enigma Guard will ride with you.”

Kael’s voice dropped into something more dangerous. “No. Only me.”

There was no room for error. If Auron — the disgraced prince, Kael’s banished brother — caught even a whisper of her existence, the realm would burn. Kael had kept peace through dominance and strength. But Aria… she would be his only vulnerability.

Silverpine Forest — hours later

Aria woke in the underbrush, naked and shaking, her body sore and unfamiliar. Her hair clung to her face, damp with sweat, leaves in her curls. Her hands trembled as she reached for her hoodie — shredded. Her phone? Gone.

“What the hell just happened…” she whispered, trying to stand.

She remembered the wolf. The voice. The scream.

And then — the shift.

“Am I losing my mind?”

A rustle in the trees snapped her attention up. Something moved — fast, powerful, quiet. She turned slowly, her heart slamming in her chest.

And then… he stepped out.

Tall, muscular, dressed in black. Not just a man — something more. His presence filled the forest like a storm front. His hair was dark, his jaw sharp, and his eyes—

Glowing silver.

Aria stumbled back. “W-Who are you?”

He didn’t answer right away. He just looked at her. No, devoured her with his eyes. Like he’d been starving and she was the only thing that could satisfy him.

“You’re cold,” he said, pulling off his cloak and wrapping it around her. His voice was gravel and silk.

She stiffened. “You’re—one of them. You’re not human.”

“No,” he said. “And neither are you.”

Her breath caught.

“I don’t know what’s happening to me,” she whispered. “I’m not like you. I can’t be.”

“You’re more,” he said simply. “You’re not just wolf. You’re divine. You feel it, don’t you?”

She shook her head, tears welling. “You’re crazy. This is crazy.”

He stepped closer, slow, careful. “I felt your awakening. Across realms. Across blood. You called to me, Aria.”

Her lips parted. “How do you know my name?”

Kael’s eyes darkened, the beast inside him rising.

“Because you were made for me.”

Later That Night

They camped in silence by a stream. Aria sat by the fire, still wrapped in his cloak, while Kael hunted and returned with cooked meat — deer, perfectly roasted without a single tool.

Aria watched him. Strong. Focused. Animal.

Yet something in her leaned toward him.

“I can’t stay here,” she said. “My parents—”

“They’re not your parents.”

Aria’s world tilted. “What?”

“Your mother is Selene,” he said, his voice low. “The Moon Goddess. She gave you to humans to hide you. You’re not safe now.”

Aria stood, shaking. “You’re insane.”

Kael didn’t move. But his words hit like thunder.

“You’re mine, Aria. Fated. Marked. I won’t let anyone take you from me.”

Her heart raced. “I didn’t choose this.”

He stepped forward, lifting her chin with a gentleness that warred with the heat in his eyes.

“Neither did I. But I’ve waited lifetimes for you. And I’ll wait longer if I must.”

Their lips were inches apart.

The fire crackled.

And for a heartbeat, under the light of the full moon, she wanted to close the distance.

Aria stood at the edge of the stream, her reflection rippling in the moonlight. Her face looked the same — same hazel eyes, same cascade of tangled curls — but something had changed. Beneath her skin, something ancient stirred. Something wild.

Kael was behind her, silent but close. His presence was a gravitational force — one she couldn’t seem to pull away from.

She touched the base of her throat. A strange warmth pulsed there — faint but constant, like a heartbeat that didn’t belong to her.

“Why does my skin burn when you’re near me?” she whispered.

“It’s the bond,” Kael said. His voice was like dark velvet. “It recognizes me, even if your mind doesn’t yet.”

She turned to face him. “How can you be so sure?”

Kael stepped closer. “Because when I touched your hand, the moon flared. Because when you screamed, I felt it in my chest like my heart was being torn from me.”

He held up his hand — the center of his palm was marked with a glowing crescent moon.

Aria gasped. Her own wrist began to shimmer faintly with a matching mark.

“What… what is that?”

“Our connection,” he said. “Fated by Selene herself. It binds soulmates. Only one other being in the world will carry the twin to your mark. That’s me.”

“I didn’t ask for this,” she whispered.

“I didn’t either,” he replied. “But now that you’ve awakened… neither of us has a choice.”

Later that night

The fire burned low, and the forest slept. Kael had made camp again, choosing to stay far enough to give Aria space — but close enough to protect her.

Aria sat wrapped in his cloak, watching him from afar. He sat shirtless on a log, his back to her, muscles tense and scarred from battles fought in a life she couldn’t yet imagine.

She stood, unsure why, and walked toward him.

Kael turned his head slightly, as if he'd felt her presence before hearing it. “Can’t sleep?”

“I don’t think I’ll ever sleep again,” she said softly. “Not after what happened.”

He turned to face her fully, eyes glinting silver in the moonlight. “You’re strong. Stronger than you know.”

“You say that, but I feel like I’m about to fall apart.”

Kael rose to his full height, towering over her, but his gaze was gentle.

“You’re a daughter of the moon,” he said. “But also a wolf. And wolves don’t break — they shift, they adapt, they survive.”

His fingers brushed her cheek — soft at first, but the contact sent fire through her. Aria didn’t pull away.

“I feel things around you I’ve never felt before,” she murmured.

“Because I’m your mate,” he whispered. “Our bond is awakening. It will only grow stronger.”

The air between them tightened. His scent — pine, smoke, and something dark and male — wrapped around her senses.

He cupped her jaw, thumb brushing her bottom lip.

“Tell me to stop,” he said, voice rough.

She looked up at him, breath shallow.

“I don’t want you to.”

That was all he needed.

His lips crashed into hers — not gently, not cautiously, but with hunger born of years of waiting. Her arms slid around his neck, her body pressed into his like instinct, not choice.

He lifted her easily, carrying her to the furs near the fire, laying her down like something precious. His mouth trailed down her neck, teeth grazing the skin where her mark pulsed brightest.

When he bit, it wasn’t to hurt — it was to claim.

And her body responded with a cry of need that echoed into the stars.

Hours later

Wrapped in Kael’s arms, Aria trembled. Not from fear — but from something more. Something inside her had unlocked.

Kael pressed a kiss to her temple. “You felt it too?”

She nodded. “It was like… the moment you touched me, something ancient opened inside me.”

Kael smiled against her skin. “You’re awakening, Aria. And when your power fully rises…”

He looked up at the moon.

“Not even the gods will be able to stop you.”
