Peculiar Joseph

Under the blood moon, love is forbidden, loyalty is tested, and betrayal waits in the shadows. Elara, daughter of a human healer, has spent her life hearing the warnings: never cross into wolf territory, never trust the Alpha’s kind, never believe their promises. But one night changes everything when she meets Kael—leader of the Lycaon pack. His eyes should bring only fear, but instead they awaken something she cannot explain. Kael is bound by duty. As Alpha, his word is law, his strength the pack’s survival. Yet when he spares Elara’s life, he knows he has broken the oldest rule. Torn between protecting his people and protecting her, Kael finds himself caught in a battle between the beast inside him and the man who longs for something more. But danger does not sleep. Dorian, Elara’s childhood protector, is consumed by jealousy and rage. Hungry for revenge and power, he is willing to break every bond to destroy Kael—and claim Elara for himself. As humans and wolves march toward war, secrets from the past begin to surface. Old bargains, family betrayals, and a prophecy written in blood will decide whether love can survive the curse of the moon… or whether it will be the spark that burns both clans to ash

Layla Luther is the only daughter, and last child of the Lutheran family, a highly reputed family in the fictional county of Palmdale and beyond. Being the only Omega in the Silver Moon pack, she's often overlooked by her parents, and seen as weak, at the same time, constantly bullied and maltreated by her elder brothers. She soon realizes that her and her supposed mate, Jacob Calvin are not meant to be, since his family pack, known as the Crystal Crescent are actually enemies of the Silver Moon pack, and she is being used as a medium to settle the historical dispute between the two packs. The Silver Moon pack pushes her to the Crystal Crescent pack by telling her she is meant for Jacob Calvin, and therefore she belongs to the Crystal Crescent pack. She catches Jacob cheating, and without remorse, he opens up about her not being his actual mate, and was just being used by her family to settle an unending rival, since she's considered worthless. In pain and anger, she leaves Palmdale and heads to Westwoods, where she feels the mate bond, and in no time becomes mated to Alpha Hermes who recently recovered from the grief of loosing his former mate.
