Letter from Alpha Ulric Wolfhart
Dear Maya,
I know this seems strange. I know you are scared. But you do not need to be afraid of me.
Why should you trust me? That is a fair question. So let me begin at the beginning.
I am a wolf.
Yes, you read that correctly. I am a wolf. And to your kind, that must sound impossible. Like something from a story told to frighten children.
But we are not stories.
We are real. We exist in the shadows of your world because history has taught us that humans fear what they do not understand. Secrecy keeps the peace. Secrecy keeps you safe.
Because despite what you may believe after what you have endured, we are not monsters.
Not all of us.
We are loyal beyond reason. We protect what belongs to us. We defend our own with violence if necessary. And when we love, we love completely. Without hesitation. Without retreat.
Especially when it comes to our mates.
A mate bond is a joining of two souls, chosen by the Moon Goddess herself. It is not affection. It is not convenience. It is not simple desire.
It is fate.
When fated mates meet, the bond is immediate. Undeniable. Absolute.
I felt it the moment I saw you on that stage.
I did not go there to buy anyone. I do not participate in such filth. But then I saw you. Bruised. Frightened. Still fighting despite your fear.
And something in me snapped.
My soul recognized yours.
You were never meant to belong to that room.
I bought your freedom because I would have killed any man who tried to touch you. Purchasing you was simply the more controlled decision.
You may find that I value control above most things.
You will also learn that you are the one thing that makes me question it.
I do not expect you to understand this. You are human. You cannot feel the bond pulling you toward me the way I feel it pulling me toward you. You cannot feel the constant awareness of where you are, whether you are safe, whether you are afraid.
It is distracting.
Perhaps that is the Moon Goddess' cruelty toward me. To know you are mine, while you feel nothing at all.
But I am a patient man.
With all of this said:
You are my mate. And I intend to make you my wife.
When we marry, I will inherit the Alpha title from my father. And you will become my Luna.
My equal.
My responsibility.
My greatest strength and my greatest weakness.
You will stand beside me and rule this pack with me. But we must also produce an heir. Strength must continue. Bloodlines must endure.
And we must not anger my father. He is a difficult man. A man who values perfection and obedience.
In this, we are similar.
Though perhaps I am beginning to understand that perfection is not always strength.
I believe in order. In discipline. In structure. Chaos creates weakness. Rules create safety.
You may come to resent my rules.
You may even come to resent me.
But you will never suffer from my protection.
Above all else, I am your Alpha. If you accept me, you will be my Luna. If you refuse, you will remain in my household under my authority as my personal servant.
Either way
You remain under my protection.
Until you decide, you will be trained as a Luna while serving in my home. You will learn our ways. Our expectations. Our strength.
I will personally oversee your training.
Your behaviour.
Your discipline.
(And your safety, even in the ways you will never see.)
No harm will ever come to you under my watch again. This I promise you.
After reading these rules and expectations, you will have one week to decide.
Will you stand beside me as my wife?
Or remain under my roof as something I must continue to guard but cannot yet claim?
Regardless of your decision, understand this one truth, Maya:
No one will ever hurt you again.
No one will ever take you from me.
And if anyone ever tries, they will learn exactly why wolves are feared.
You are safe now.
You are wanted now.
And this is perhaps the only selfish thing I will ever admit to you:
I do not regret what fate has done.
Even if you never choose me.
I would still choose you.
Every time.
— Ulric Wolfhart

The Bloodmoon Claim Chapter Twelve
Maya's POV:Protection. This is the reason why I am going to marry Ulric. I will not fall back into the hands of Cole. I will ensure he is held accountable for what he has done. I will take advantage of everything Ulric has to offer: the training, the werewolf pack, the money, the protection.I will follow his stupid rules, be the meek, submissive wife he wants. I will even give him his heir. But I will find Cole, and I will kill him, even if it is the last thing I do.I lay awake in my bed, tossing and turning, then turn to see the digital clock on my bedside table. I need my phone back desperately. The clock reads 1:42 am. My nightdress is sticking to my body. I need air. I feel suffocated.I scramble out of bed and decide to go find a glass of water. I walk out the door and enter the massive hallway. I followed a path to Ulric's office earlier; now I just need to find the damn kitchen. Why does one man need such a massive house?After what feels like twenty-five minutes and passing

Ulric’s POVShe has read it by now. I can feel it in my bones as Fenrir paces restlessly in my head, silent but impatient since she woke.Fenrir, down! I growl in my mind.Fenrir claws at my conscience. I am not your dog. I am your equal. Remember, Ulric. I will not warn you. We are both one Alpha.I submit silently.Since Maya entered my territory, the air smells different, her scent attaching itself to every corner of my house. I can sense the shifts in her emotions, and I no longer smell fear.I stand by the tall window of my study, looking toward the guest wing where she is staying, the distance meaningless to my senses and changing nothing about what she is to me.She is mine.I say it softly because speaking it aloud would be dangerous; someone could sense weakness and strike.A knock at the door confirms what I already know.“Enter.”Derick Blackwood steps inside. My Beta doesn’t bother with formalities when we are alone, closing the door behind him and leaning casually against
The Bloodmoon Claim Chapter Ten
Maya's POV:I stare at the letter long after I finish reading. My hands are trembling.A wolf.My eyes move back to that line again.I am a wolf.A shaky breath escapes me."No," I whisper into an empty room. "That isn't possible."People don't just turn into animals. This isn't some fantasy novel. This is not another one of those ridiculous stories people tell to scare children into behaving. There has to be another explanation.This is a psychological tactic. Yes. That must be it.Rich and powerful men love their symbolism. Words such as PREDATOR, ALPHA, and WOLF are all just another way to establish dominance. This is just another attempt to make me feel small.My fingers tighten around the paper.He is just a man, Maya. I think to myself.A dangerous man, violent. And capable of buying another person like a prized cow.But still just a man.He has to be. Because if he isn't a man, and if he really is what he claims to be, then what chance do I have?My stomach churns violently.Hi

The Bloodmoon Claim Chapter Eight
Maya's POV:I wake with a violent gasp. For a moment, I don't know where I am.Slowly, I push myself up in a sitting position. I look around. Brown wallpaper covers the walls, patterned with delicate green leaves. A wooden desk stands beside a tall window to my left, paired with a small cushioned chair that looks almost inviting. The curtains are drawn shut, heavy and dark red, but a thin blade of sunlight cuts through the gap, painting a warm line across the wooden floor. The aesthetics are peaceful. Suddenly, my chest tightens.All the memories come flooding back.The stage.The chains. The auction.Him.The man who bought me. I scramble out of the bed, panic surging through me as I scan the room for exits, or weapons, anything useful. Only then do I realize that my clothes have changed. I'm wearing grey sweatpants and a loose, oversized T-shirt. The clothes are clean, comfortable, and perfectly sized.My stomach drops. I definitely wasn't wearing this before. Suddenly, the do
The Bloodmoon Claim Chapter Seven
Maya’s POVMy mind struggles to keep up with what my eyes are witnessing. One moment, Cole is staring at me like I am his prey. The next, the man who bought me appears, moving faster than I’ve ever seen. I hear a sickening thud, the sound of breath being knocked from lungs, and Cole suddenly vanishes from in front of me. I gasp behind the gag.The stranger now stands between us.He looks bigger up close — broader, solid, like nothing could move him if he didn’t want to be moved. His chest rises and falls slowly, but I can sense something dangerous beneath that calm, something he’s holding back. His eyes lock onto mine again.And that strange feeling hits me.Safety.It makes no sense. I don’t know this man. He just bought me at an auction, like a painting. Men don’t spend that kind of money to be kind. My stomach twists at the thought of what he must expect in return.His hands move to the chains around my ankles.I freeze.Is this it? Is this where it gets worse?Instead, the metal
