Giving Him to Someone Who Wants Him
The scent of pine and damp earth clung to the air as the full moon created long shadows across the Ancient Clearing.
Tonight, was supposed to be our marking ceremony, a sacred ritual binding Alpha Anderson and his chosen Luna before the eyes of the Frostmoon Pack.
“My heart,” his gaze locked on Leah, who stood under the moonlight “has always belonged to another. My first love, the one whose spirit has been weakened by the venom of wolfsbane, is my Luna.”
He drew Leah closer, his hand possessively circling her waist. Under the watchful gaze of the moon, he smiled.
“Our traditions are clear,” he continued, “Only the woman who stands with me at this altar, witnessed by all, shall be my Luna.
Though I had always thought that Irene was my mate which I mistakenly marked a time ago.
But thanks to the goddess for making me see clearly before it was too late.”
They exchanged vows beneath the trees, witnessed by the werewolves and the Moon Goddess.
The silver crowns were placed, the ceremonial kiss sealed their bond. I stood hidden in the shadows of the surrounding forest.
For twelve years, from the moment my wolf recognized his at eighteen until my thirtieth moon cycle, my love for Anderson had never changed.
But his heart, it was clear, belonged to Leah. If that was the truth, then I would release him.
He had never truly seen me, never truly cared.
Yet, the act of my departure seemed to unravel him in ways I couldn’t understand.

Frequently Asked Questions
I went into 'Beneath the Shadows' expecting a standard missing-person thriller, but it subverted that almost immediately. The narrative splits between the desperate search and these weirdly tranquil flashbacks to the couple's past, which somehow made the present feel even more claustrophobic. It's less about action and more about psychological erosion—the way doubt and grief warp every memory.
What stuck with me was the ending. Without spoiling, it’s divisive. I’ve seen some readers hate it for being ambiguous, but I think that ambiguity is the point. It refuses a clean resolution, which leaves you unsettled in a way a neat twist wouldn’t. If you need every thread tied up, maybe skip it, but if you like a thriller that lingers in your head for days, chewing over the possibilities, it’s absolutely worth your time.
