Owned by the Ruthless Alpha
Aria is an ordinary young woman struggling to survive a harsh life. Her world is turned upside down when her father fails to repay a dangerous debt to Alaric Thorn, a powerful and feared leader of a werewolf pack known as Blood Moon.
Unable to pay, her father offers Aria in his place.
Taken against her will, and brought to Alaric’s estate, Aria finds herself in an unfamiliar environment. Surrounded by people who speak of packs as if it were normal, she is forced to confront the terrifying truth.
Alaric is cold, dominant, and emotionally detached. He makes it clear that Aria now belongs to him, and in his territory, she has no power, no rights, and no escape. As Aria struggles with fear, confusion, and the trauma of being taken from her former life, she must learn how to survive under his control.
Within the Blood Moon pack, Aria encounters individuals like Mira and Selene, who offer limited guidance but remain bound by the Alpha’s authority. Despite being treated with an unexpected level of care and comfort, Aria cannot understand her place in this world or why she is being kept.
As time passes, Aria is forced to adapt to the rules of the pack while battling her fear of Alaric, the same man who terrifies her, yet seems to watch her more closely than necessary. Unknown to her, her presence in the pack is not as simple as repayment for a debt.
Hidden truths threaten to pull Aria deeper into a world she never asked to be part of.
And as the line between fear and something far more dangerous begins to blur, Aria may discover that her fate was sealed long before she was ever brought to the Alpha’s door.

Chapter: 28ARIAI followed Mira down the hallway, forcing myself to keep my head held high even though I could feel the eyes of the few people we passed following me. Some openly glared, others only glanced at me before looking away. I tried not to let it bother me.Mira looked back at me once, her expression worried, but she said nothing. I slowed down when we finally reached the kitchen. The first thing to notice was that there was no door, only a wide wooden doorway, large enough for several people to walk through at once. It was much bigger than I had expected, and the kitchen itself was even larger than the room I stayed in.It looked like something out of an old magazine from the nineties. Most of the cabinets and shelves were made from dark wood instead of the polished marble and modern designs I'd expected. The wooden counters were worn in some places, and the cupboards had old brass handles. There were wooden stools around a long table in the middle of the room, while old-fashioned shel

Chapter: 27ALARICThe car shook as I drove through the uneven road, the tires dropping into one pothole after another. I glanced through the windshield and old, rundown houses lined both sides of the narrow street. Some of the buildings looked like they could collapse at any moment, their walls stained and cracked from years of neglect. The whole place looked more like a dump site than somewhere people actually lived.Yet there were people here.I could see a few of them sitting outside their homes, watching the car pass with tired expressions. Most quickly looked away.I kept driving. I had sent some of my men ahead of me to find the three people who had tried to steal from me. They had already been caught and were being held inside one of the abandoned-looking buildings on this street.I finally pulled the car to a stop, I stepped out and looked at the building in front of me. It was just as bad as the rest of the street.I slipped my hands into the pockets of my slacks and walked up the old c

Chapter: 26ALARICRonan was waiting outside the building when we reached the path that led back to the clearing.I didn't miss the way his eyes immediately went to Aria.She was practically running to keep up with me, panting as she struggled to match my long strides. I hadn't slowed down once since finding her, and I was still holding her hand tightly as we approached Ronan.He looked at me, then at her, his expression filled with suspicion."Where did you find her?"Aria huffed beside me. "I'm right here, you know."Neither of us spared her a glance."Not too far from here," I answered. "But far enough that I had to wonder how she managed to get that far in the first place.""I already told you," she said calmly. "I got lost while I was looking at the plants."I looked at her. She really expected me to believe that."You kept wandering around and looking at plants for so long that you didn't even realize how far you'd gone? I don't trust you, Aria. I'm not stupid, and I'll find out the truth."

Chapter: 25ARIAI listened as Valen explained the hierarchy of wolves, starting from the Alpha and working his way down to the lowest rank.At first, I thought I would be bored out of my mind.Surprisingly, it was actually interesting. Absurd, but interesting. If I wasn't trapped in the middle of all of this, I might have even enjoyed learning about it. There was something strange about hearing Valen explain how an entire society could be built around wolves and their ranks as if he were talking about something completely normal.Unfortunately, I understood barely half of what he was saying. There were too many names, titles, rules, and things I had never heard of before. By the time he got to the lower ranks, my head was already starting to hurt.So far, the only thing I was sure of was that the two most powerful wolves on Alaric's estate were Alaric and Ronan.I was still trying to remember which rank came after which when Valen suddenly stopped talking and he went completely still. His head t

Chapter: 24ARIAI looked around for what felt like the hundredth time. Nothing. No one was following me.I had been outside for about twenty minutes, and I still couldn't shake the feeling that Alaric had probably sent someone after me. I wasn't going anywhere anyway. I had stayed close to the building the entire time because there was no way I was going to wander too far into a forest filled with animals I knew nothing about.I had no desire to find out whether Alaric had been telling the truth. Not when I didn't even have a plan for escaping.So instead, I walked around and looked at the plants scattered everywhere. Most of them were ugly, but one particular flower caught my attention.It was blue.I'd never seen anything like it before. I walked closer and crouched down to get a better look. The flower was strange, almost too strange to be pretty. I leaned in and smelled it before thinking better of it before I quickly pulled back.It could be poisonous for all I knew.Actually, considering w

Chapter: 23ARIAAfter a few more days of resting, I was starting to lose my mind. All I had done since I woke up was eat, sleep, and lie around in my room. Sometimes I stretched for a few minutes because my body felt stiff, but that was about it.Alaric had made it very clear that I was supposed to rest, and apparently, that meant I wasn't allowed to do anything else.There wasn't even a television in the room.I couldn't go downstairs and hang around with the others either. It wasn't like they wanted me there. They already hated me, and I couldn't exactly say I liked them either. So I was stuck.I walked over to the mirror and looked at myself and I frowned in reaction. I looked awful. My skin looked pale, and I hated it. Somehow, I looked much worse now that I wasn't working. When I had been working long hours at the bar, at least I looked alive. Now I looked like I hadn't seen sunlight in weeks. I picked up my hairbrush and ran it through my hair before rubbing some balm over my lips. I look
