The Moonlight Pact. Moonlight Pact series, #1

The Moonlight PactBy Kenneth Thomas Betrayed by her own magic and haunted by the tragic death of her mother, Elara Kwan, a powerful but volatile witch, wants nothing more than to protect her coven from the dark forces threatening to tear their world apart. But when an ancient prophecy forces her to bond with her sworn enemy, the brooding werewolf alpha Kael Draven, her plans for control-and revenge-are thrown into chaos.
Kael is no stranger to loss. Haunted by the betrayal that shattered his pack and claimed his mate, he lives with one rule: never trust anyone. Especially not a witch. But when the magical rift tearing through their lands threatens his pack's survival, he agrees to the pact with Elara, even if it means binding his life to hers. As the bond grows, it awakens a power neither of them expected-one capable of sealing the rift or destroying them both.
To survive, Elara and Kael must face the dark forces hunting them, navigate a web of secrets that tie the rift to Kael's bloodline, and confront the growing, undeniable attraction between them. But the shadow born of the rift isn't just a mindless force. It knows their fears, feeds on their doubts, and whispers promises of destruction. If Elara and Kael can't learn to trust each other-and themselves-the bond will shatter, and the rift will consume everything they hold dear.
Full of forbidden romance, sizzling tension, and high-stakes magic, The Moonlight Pact is an unforgettable journey of love, loss, and the power of unity in the face of darkness. Perfect for fans of romantasy, enemies-to-lovers, and stories that balance intense action with tender, emotional connections, Kenneth Thomas's debut is a tale that lingers long after the last page is turned.
