1. The Collision
Mia Hayes, a young woman from the city, finds herself lost in a dense and foreboding forest after her car breaks down on a deserted road. The darkness and silence of the woods are a far cry from the familiar sounds of city life, and she can't shake the feeling that something is off. As she walks, the trees seem to close in around her, casting long, ominous shadows on the ground. Suddenly, she's confronted by a massive black wolf with piercing silver eyes that seem to glow in the moonlight.
The wolf's gaze is unnerving, and Mia's heart racing as she freezes in fear. But before she can react, the wolf transforms into a towering, muscular man with the same piercing silver eyes. He's Kaian Silas Thorne, the Alpha King of the Northern Pack, and he claims that Mia has been "marked" by the moon as his.
Mia is skeptical and frightened, but she's also drawn to Kaian in a way she can't explain. As they stand there, locked in a silent understanding, Mia feels a primal connection that she can't ignore. Kaian's presence is overwhelming, and she's torn between fear and fascination.
As Kaian's words leave her reeling, he suddenly senses danger approaching and orders Mia to flee. With a swift transformation, he becomes the wolf once more, bounding into the shadows to face the unknown threat. Mia is left to run for her life, unsure of what's happening or what lies ahead.
As she emerges from the forest, Mia is forced to confront the reality of the supernatural world she's stumbled into. She's no longer just a city girl; she's a woman marked by the Alpha King, and her life will never be the same. The encounter has awakened something deep within her, and she's forced to consider the implications of being claimed by Kaian.
As she looks back on their encounter, Mia realizes that she's been drawn to Kaian in a way that she can't explain. Is it the primal connection they shared, or something more? And what does it mean to be "marked" by the Alpha King? Mia's journey is just beginning, and she's about to discover a world of secrets and lies that will change her life forever.
