The Perfect Luna

SYNOPSIS To the public, he is a plain Level One relic repairman. In reality, he is a legendary healer, a celebrated designer, a hired killer, and much more. He can become almost anything because he is the only man in Virelia who can copy another person’s power and keep it forever. In Virelia, powerful energy cores produce Energy Vials, the currency that fuels magic, machines, transportation, and daily life. Yet his registered Energy Sense power produces little, leaving him poor and beneath the notice of the elite. That lie protects every life he leads. When the Valcrest Family finds him, they claim he is Danaya Valcrest’s missing fiancé. The man they seek has his exact face and first name. He knows they have mistaken him for someone else, but hiding inside a powerful family is the perfect way to escape the enemies hunting him. He accepts the identity and becomes Danaya’s husband. Danaya believes he is the man who abandoned her before their wedding. Their marriage begins with anger, suspicion, and questions he cannot answer without exposing the deception. When Seraphine Valcrest suffers a fatal core collapse, he secretly uses his healing power to save her. Danaya soon begins searching for the legendary healer who may help her family, unaware that he shares her home. She admires his hidden identities while clashing with the ordinary husband she believes is beneath her. His former fiancée, hostile relatives, two powerful families, and missing records complicate their growing bond. Every healing, artifact, and hidden power leaves another clue. At Virelia’s greatest healing conference, one watchful relative finally notices the connection between Danaya’s husband and the legendary figures surrounding him. How long can he live as another man before someone discovers who he really is?

Ethan Moore spent ten years being the perfect husband. He worked sixteen hour shifts so his wife Claire could carry designer bags. He paid off his mother in law's credit card debt four times. He covered his brother in law's DUI lawyers, his daughter's private school tuition, and every vacation, every spa trip, every brunch bill that his family racked up without ever once saying thank you. And when he lay dying in a hospital bed with three cracked ribs and a punctured lung, not one of them held his hand. "I called the insurance company this morning. The payout is $750,000, but with the accidental clause, it bumps to 1.2 million." His wife crossed her legs and scrolled through her phone without looking at him once. "What about the stock options from his company? Those vest on death, don't they?" His mother in law leaned against the doorframe with her arms folded. And then his daughter, the girl he carried on his shoulders at county fairs, the girl he stayed up with during thunderstorms, looked up from her phone and said the words that stopped his heart. "You know he's not even my real dad, right? I just want to know if I still get stuff. I really need a new phone." He woke up three years in the past with every memory of his deathbed burned into his brain and a system that returned every dollar he spent tenfold. The man who once apologized to a waiter for sending back cold soup now buys $400,000 suits without blinking. The man who skipped his own father's funeral because his wife said they couldn't afford the flight now carries $20 million in his back pocket. The pushover is dead. And the people who killed him don't even know he's coming.

They should have made sure he stayed down. Seventeen-year-old Theodore Cross knows his place at the bottom. Bullied. Broke. Beaten. Working dead-end shifts to pay off his dead father's debts while his mother slowly dies from an illness he can't afford to treat. When gang enforcers corner him in an alley and beat him within an inch of his life, Theo accepts his fate. He's always been prey. This is just how his story ends. Except it doesn't. An ancient dying werewolf fleeing from hunters finds Theo bleeding out and makes a choice. With its final breath, it passes on something that hasn't been seen in five hundred years: a Royal bloodline. Theo wakes to a new reality. Enhanced strength. Supernatural senses. And a mysterious Blood Moon System that treats his life like a game with quests, levels, and abilities that grow stronger with every challenge he conquers. But this power comes with brutal rules: The Masquerade must never be broken. The Midnight Council rules with an iron fist. Born werewolves see him as an inferior mutt worthy only of death. And inside him, a beast grows stronger each day, whispering promises of violence and domination. The people who made his life hell are about to learn a hard lesson "Theodore Cross is done being prey." From underground fight clubs to pack politics, from gang warfare to supernatural hunters, Theo must navigate a hidden world where one mistake means death. He'll build his own pack from outcasts and misfits. Face enemies who've had centuries to perfect their cruelty. And somehow keep the monster inside from consuming what's left of his humanity. Because in the end, the real question isn't whether he can survive. It's what kind of monster he'll become.
