A word before you begin
For those who prefer to know precisely which fictional circumstances they are about to become attached to.
“You are my greatest antagonist, and as fate would have it, my only salvation.”
Lucien has three problems: a fragile peace, an infuriating werewolf, and the inconvenient fact that his enemy is ridiculously attractive.
He’s certain Rhydian will be easy to manipulate. After all, how hard can it be to tame a wolf? Unfortunately, Rhydian remembers Lucien’s every trick. He also remembers loving him.
Reincarnated into a life where fate has once again made the vampire prince his fated mate, and his greatest antagonist, Rhydian knows exactly how this ends.
The problem? He still wants him.
This story contains depictions of parental abuse and family mistreatment. Readers who are sensitive to these themes may wish to keep this in mind.
The mind behind the mischief
- Danmei devotee
- Read Wattpad in the school library
- Builds a whole world. Every time.
- Enemies to lovers, forever
- Pen name only
Pink Panda has loved stories for as long as she can remember. Growing up, she would sneak into her school library to read on Wattpad instead of attending class, often losing entire afternoons to fictional worlds.
Read her full bio
Her love for BL grew over years of watching dramas, reading manga, manhwa and novels, and eventually discovering danmei. What began as curiosity about different kinds of relationships became a deep appreciation for the genre and the stories it could tell. Novels such as Heaven Official's Blessing, The Husky and His White Cat Shizun, Thrice Married to Salted Fish and Scum Villain's Self-Saving System shaped her love for the possibilities of queer romance and fantasy.
She is particularly fond of enemies to lovers, alpha and omega dynamics, powerful characters who refuse to be reduced to damsels in distress, and stories with worlds of their own. For her, a story rarely stays a story for long. Before she knows it, there's an entire world waiting to be built around it.
Moonbound was supposed to be one book. It is not one book.

Pink Panda, on Moonbound
“It was supposed to be one book.”
It is not one book.
Three words for Moonbound
Obsession. Intrigue. Madness in the name of love.
Colour and object
Red. It belongs everywhere in Moonbound: the vampires, their red eyes, blood, and everything else the colour carries through the story. It's also a colour I personally love.
The moon. It's in the title for a reason.
Favourite trope to write
BL. BL. BL.
And enemies to lovers. Enemies to lovers. Enemies to lovers.
Warning label
Contains vampires, werewolves, dangerous loyalties, political intrigue and people who would rather make a terrible decision than have an honest conversation.
If the characters had a group chat
Pinned messageRhydian and Lucien, please keep it in your pants in front of everyone else. We get it. You're in love.
Worst decisions, defended confidently
Lucien and Kaelen.
It's a tie.

Author extras
From Pink Panda's Desk
Confessions, opinions and a few things she would rather not explain yet. Separate from the official blurb, and spoiler-free.
What inspired Moonbound?
Honestly? It started as a fantasy I couldn't stop thinking about, plus one slightly unhinged question: how many tropes can I fit into one story before it breaks? Turns out, a lot.
Then the world started building itself, and the one book I meant to write turned into a whole series.
Danmei is all over it. Heaven Official's Blessing, 2ha, Thrice Married to Salted Fish, Scum Villain's Self-Saving System. I read them, they rewired my brain a little, and here we are.
Which character surprised you most?
Auren. I sat down expecting cold and serious, and that's it. Then he kept having these soft moments I never planned for. I still don't fully trust him, but I like him a lot more than I meant to.
Who is your favourite character?
The warlock. Yes, Rhydian and Lucien are my babies. But the warlock has my heart, and no, I'm not telling you why. Finish the series and then we'll talk.
The character archetype she can't resist
Powerful people falling for other powerful people. I'm a sucker for alpha and omega dynamics, but only when the omega could probably end you.
No damsels in distress. I want sharp edges on both sides.
Her most unreasonable writing opinion
I can't write just one book. I sit down to write one book and accidentally build an entire universe around it. Nobody asked. I did it anyway. Every single time.
The fictional red flag she'd fall for
The Vegas problem from KinnPorsche. If you know, you know.
Advice for Lucien and Rhydian
Dear Lucien, please try being a little more honest with yourself, particularly when it comes to Rhydian. I know that isn't always easy, but self-awareness might save you some trouble.
To Rhydian: My dear child. You are loved, and I want you to give yourself the same care you so readily deserve from others. That's all I'm saying for now.
What readers might misunderstand
Don't make up your mind about anyone after the first book. Whoever you think you've figured out, you haven't. Not completely.
