Primal Craving: A Nocturne Arcana Novella

by Kenzie Kelly

This story was previously published under the pen name Belladonna Ashwyn.

I was hunting the perfect shot... but I found a predator.

I came to the forest for solitude and moonlight. A twig snap announced a man cloaked in shadows, warning me about danger in the woods. Something told me he was the danger.

Lucas Hawke is magnetic, mysterious, and far too compelling for someone I should run from. But when his dark eyes lock on mine, my body responds before my brain can object. There’s something primal in the way he watches me. Something that makes me ache.

Then a strange invitation arrives. No return address. Just a Nocturne Arcana.

Following Lucas into the dark might be reckless.
But resisting him?

Impossible.

Nocturne Where flirting in the dark brings monsters out to play.
Step inside—and discover just how wild your cravings can become.

56 pages, Kindle Edition

So much fun and a great read 💖🌟🔥

This is a fantastic premise for A series I love that No turns Arcana is a Sentient home filled with a need to match make supernaturals and humans. I could only wish there was a place like this in my town I really want an invite! Zoe is an amateur photographer outfit the evening taking pictures when she runs into a tall dark mysterious male who tells her she need to be careful in the forest. She can't stop the hunk by about him days later and she receives an invitation that she just can't pass up. Lucas is a werewolf he meets his mate in the forest and he knows he needs to see her again he applies to Nocturne Arcana for match making and ask if they will extend the invite that could change both their lives.
