The Wolf That Claimed Me

Introduction
I stood at the altar, trembling, waiting for Alessio to claim me. Instead, he looked at me with eyes full of cold disgust. "I reject you, Lunara," he hissed, his voice echoing through the silent forest. "And I will make you the whore of my pack."
The betrayal cut deeper than any knife. But the slaughter that followed was worse. In seconds, the ceremony turned into a bloodbath. My father, my mother—ripped apart by the man I was supposed to love.
"Run!" The command echoed in my mind.
I grabbed a lantern and smashed it, setting the forest on fire to create a wall of flames between us. I tore the heavy skirt of my wedding gown and ran. I ran until my lungs burned, until the screams of my pack faded into the distance.
I thought I had escaped hell. But I ran straight into the territory of a beast far more dangerous than the one I left behind. An Alpha who doesn't take prisoners. An Alpha who looked at me not with pity, but with a hunger that terrified me more than death.
I escaped a monster only to be claimed by the Devil himself.
Lunara Grimwald has spent her life as a pawn. Sold by her father to the cruel Alpha Alessio in a pact of revenge, she flees on her wedding day, escaping a fate worse than death. But freedom comes at a price. Lost in the forbidden forests of Romania, Lunara is struck by her first heat.
Enter Edric Eldoria. An ancient, powerful Alpha who has sworn off mates after a tragic past. When he finds the trembling Omega in his territory, he intends to capture an intruder. Instead, their wolves collide in a frenzy of instinct. In a moment of lost control, they accidentally mate, binding their lives and souls together.
Now, Lunara is trapped again—this time to a man who resents her existence but is forced to protect her. If she dies, he dies.
Chapter 1
POV Lunara Grimwald:
“You’re trembling again, Lunara.”
His voice cut through the silence like a blade — low, rough, and heavy with dominance. The night air clung to my skin, cold against the fire burning beneath it. I didn’t dare move.
Alessio stepped closer, and the forest seemed to bend around him, as if it too recognized its Alpha. His scent — pine, smoke, and sin — enveloped me completely. When his hand found my jaw, the air fled from my lungs.
“Do you think you can hide it from me?” he whispered, his thumb brushing the corner of my mouth. “That hunger?”
I wanted to deny it, but my pulse betrayed me — wild and unsteady, echoing his own. The moonlight painted his skin in silver, tracing the curve of his neck, the strength of his shoulders. Everything about him screamed power. And everything in me wanted to surrender to it.
“Say it,” he ordered softly, his hot breath ghosting over my ear. “Say you’re mine.”
My voice came out as barely a breath. “I’ve always been yours.”
His lips curved — not in a smile, but in a promise. A dangerous one.
A growl almost escaped my lips as I followed his command, letting my clothes fall to the ground. He pulled me onto his lap and crushed his mouth against mine, groaning when he tasted himself still on my tongue. His hands went straight to my ass, gripping hard as I rolled against him, driving him to the edge of control.
“Fuck, Lunara,” he groaned against my lips as I kept moving. “If you keep that up, I’ll come in my pants,” he whispered.
“And that’s bad, my wolf?” I murmured, nibbling at his lips while his hands worked at his zipper, freeing his erection.
“I want to feel you come inside me,” I whispered against his mouth, knowing exactly what those words would do to him.
Then he seemed to have a better idea.
“What…?” I muttered, confused by the sudden loss of his heat, but obeyed. He surprised me again when he turned me around and pressed me against the rough trunk of the tree in front of us, my ass lifted in the air, taunting him. My skin burned, and I had no idea what went through his mind as he looked at me like that.
I glanced over my shoulder and caught the devilish smile curving his lips when he saw my expression. That was the moment I understood: love between wolves is never gentle. It’s a storm — one that devours everything it touches.
The wolf that claims you… can also be the one who loves you and destroys you.
