Mated to the Alpha Knight
In a world where destiny is woven by the Moon Goddess, Celeste awaits her sixteenth birthday, eager to find her true mate. But when a startling revelation shatters her expectations, she's thrust into a maelstrom of forbidden desires, family secrets, and the undeniable pull of a bond that defies all logic. Can Celeste embrace a love that challenges everything she knows, or will the truth tear her world apart?The warm glow of the outdoor light spilled onto the small stone sidewalk, illuminating my white front door. Jackson, his 6'0 frame seeming even more muscular than in his car, took a step forward, his warm, dark hands clasping my milky pale ones.
"I enjoyed tonight, Celeste," he murmured, his onyx eyes dropping to our intertwined hands. The cool October wind rustled leaves, and the scent of cinnamon drifted, as a bird sang from a nearby tree before falling silent.
"And I wanted to know if-"
The front door swung open, a rush of cedar and rain filling the air. My heart skipped a beat as Jackson immediately dropped my hands, placing two feet between us.
"Oh," Jackson chuckled nervously, sweat glimmering on his forehead. "Emrys, it's just you."
I sighed, seeing my brother glare daggers at Jackson with his stormy eyes, dark brows furrowed. I swear he thought it was his job to protect me. But that would change soon. My sixteenth birthday, Halloween, was only days away, and with it, the search for my mate.
