Moonlit Bond With The Alpha

Forget the fairytales. Forget the moon goddess. Forget the idea of soulmates.
In this world, werewolves aren’t romanticized. They’re beasts. Savage, cold, and merciless.
They rule their territory with an iron fist, and the law doesn’t touch them. The world turns a blind eye, letting them do as they please.
I grew up believing this was the truth. And I was fine with it-until the Harvest came.
The Harvest. A dark tradition, designed to keep peace between species. Every year, a girl is given to the Alpha. A piece offering. A way to keep the balance. A sacrifice.
For years, I’ve managed to avoid being chosen. My future was clear: I had dreams, a thirst for knowledge, a life I could make for myself. Until everything came crashing down. Until I was gifted to him.
A slave. A sacrifice. Presented to the Alpha as a token to keep the peace and protect my town. My family weeps. My sister berates me. I lie to myself, telling myself that their safety is all that matters-that my future doesn’t matter anymore.
But what happens when the Alpha, the savage, the one I was meant to be afraid of... starts to care?
Gifted to the Alpha is a dark, twisted tale of sacrifice, survival, and the unexpected bond between a girl forced into submission and the Alpha who might just become her protector. Tensions run high as desire and danger collide, and the question remains: when the beast starts to care, can the girl ever escape the bond that ties her to him?
