In an ancient world ruled by wolf packs, fate is written by the Moon Goddess. Alphas rule. Lunas keep the balance. Nora lives within this order— but she does not belong to it. Noble, intelligent, and deadly, Nora is one of the most respected wolves in her pack. She is bound by a mate bond to the future Alpha, yet as the balance of power begins to shift, the order starts to fracture. While the pack demands more than a Luna, Nora finds herself standing at the edge of a path she never chose. Darkness awakens forgotten legends. A lost legacy. An ancient weapon. And creatures of unknown origin begin to seep into the world. For Nora, this is no longer a choice. It is a destiny awakening. The Luna Who Was Not Chosen is not a romance novel; it is a dark fantasy epic built on hunter mythology, ancient monsters, and the courage to confront fate. This story whispers that even without being chosen, destiny can be written.

Axel built his life on one lie, and from it, countless others followed. Desperate for love and attention, his first mistake was disguising himself as an omega girl. In truth, he was a male omega.. whereby- male omegas were rare, unwanted, and looked down upon. Alphas and betas never desired male omegas, only females. And it made Axel hate what he was. His only escape was through a dating app. But he never expected the Alpha he fell for... Ivan, the one he had deceived from the start, to be the same Alpha he would meet again at the academy, where every eighteen-year-old goes to train in pack law and discover their mate. Panicked, Axel told a bigger lie. He claimed to be an Alpha, hiding his true rank with pills that masked his scent. He thought being exposed as an omega would make it easier for Ivan to recognize him. But his lie backfired... Instead of safety, it landed him in the Alpha dorms instead of Omega dorms. Worse still... he was assigned to Ivan’s room.

In a world where demons rule and humanity lingers in the shadows, society is strictly divided. Demons are categorized into three castes: Big Horns, extremely rare and overwhelmingly powerful; Medium Horns, the ambitious middle class; and Small Horns, the common people or demons if you will. Meanwhile, humans live in segregated communities, their very existence dictated by an invisible force known as Life Essence—the intoxicating energy they emit, the substance demons crave. For the safety of both species, humans and demons lead entirely separate lives. Expect for Cassidy "Cass" Veyne, because bro wanted to be different. Born to a powerful Big Horn father and a human mother, Cass is not a demon. He has no horns, no demonic energy, and—most baffling of all—no Life Essence to feed on. Or at least that's what he has been told his whole life. He’s an anomaly in a world that lives on strict order. But his father, a high-ranking noble in demon society, refuses to let him live among humans. Instead, Cass is forced into Blackthorn Academy (fire name I know), an elite private school meant for the most powerful demons in the country or the ones with the most money. From the moment he steps inside, Cass doesn’t belong. No horns. No power. No fear radiating from him like the others. The students whisper behind his back. Teachers look at him like a puzzle. Some demons want to test him. Others want to break him. At the top of Blackthorn’s social hierarchy is Nathaniel "Nate" Azrael, the student body president, the most feared Big Horn in the school, and the heir to a long lineage of royalty. His dark curling horns, piercing silver eyes, and suffocating aura make even strong demons tremble. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable, Nate thrives on domination and fear—it’s his nature. Cass is the only one who doesn’t flinch under his gaze. He isn’t afraid of him. And for the first time, Nate doesn’t know whether he wants to destroy Cass… or claim him. A forbidden love between two people who should never have met. A boy trapped between two worlds, struggling to prove he belongs. And a dangerous, undeniable pull between a fearless outcast and the demon who feeds on fear itself. This is Blackthorn under hellfire by yours truly.

Lennox cornered her in the hallway, his amber eyes troubled. “You didn’t deserve that.” “Didn’t I?” Olivia challenged. “Wasn’t it you who told the entire pack that the daughter of a traitor should be treated as less than human?” “I was wrong,” he admitted. “We all were.” “Three years, Lennox. Three years of serving as your Omega, of being spat on, of watching you three worship the ground Anita walks on while I’m nothing but a shameful secret.” From the shadows, Levi’s voice emerged. “The Moon Goddess bound us for a reason.” Olivia’s bitter laugh echoed through the corridor. “And you’ve fought that reason every step of the way.” “We didn’t know,” Louis appeared beside his brothers, forming the triangle that had always made Olivia feel trapped. “About your father, about the conspiracy—” “So that’s what it takes?” she asked, voice trembling. “My father’s name being cleared for you to acknowledge me as your Luna? As your mate?” “No,” Lennox reached for her. “It’s seeing your strength, your resilience despite everything we put you through.” “We were cruel,” Levi admitted. “We were wrong,” Louis echoed. Olivia looked at each of them, these three powerful Alphas now regarding her with something approaching reverence. Olivia’s smile held no warmth. “Now I realize some wounds cut too deep to heal. You can’t break someone for years and expect them to be whole for you when it’s convenient.”
