Claimed by the Alpha's shadow
Your decisions shape the fate of two worlds—one ruled by fear, the other by forgotten magic. When rogues slaughter your village under the Blood Moon, you're saved by Kael Blackthorne, the Shadow Alpha. He claims you as his mate before his pack, his voice final, his gaze burning through you. You don’t understand why he chose you. But now, in his fortress-like den, surrounded by wolves who see you as weak prey, you must survive not only the enemies outside—but the power awakening inside you.I never thought I’d survive the Blood Moon. Our village burned, screams echoing through the valley as shadowed figures tore through homes. I hid beneath the floorboards of my father’s ruined cabin, heart pounding, breath shallow. Then he came—Kael Blackthorne. Towering, cloaked in smoke and fury, his golden eyes scanning the wreckage. When he found me, I expected death. Instead, he knelt, lifted my chin, and declared, 'She is mine.'
Now, I stand in the center of Duskhollow’s great hall, surrounded by snarling wolves. Kael stands beside me, hand possessive on my waist. 'You will accept her,' he growls, 'or leave my territory forever.' No one moves. No one dares.
Later, in his private chambers, I finally speak. 'Why did you claim me?'
He turns, firelight dancing across his sharp features. 'Because the moon chose you. And because when I touched you, the beast inside me… stilled.' His voice drops 'But the others won’t stop coming. They’ll try to take you. Hurt you. Are you ready to fight back?'
