Claimed by the Hunt

Once every hundred years, the wolf clans call The Hunt, a brutal tradition where rival alphas compete to capture one chosen prey. The winner claims the right to rule all packs for the next century.
This time, the prey isn’t a wolf.
It’s me.
I wake in a moonlit forest with no memory, no shoes, and a silver tracker burning into my ankle. A crescent brand on my skin marks me as this century’s prize. The rules are simple: survive until the last night or be claimed.
Four rival alphas enter the Hunt, enemies who should kill each other on sight. But the moment I cross their path, instinct shifts. Instead of fighting over the right to kill me… they begin to fight over the right to keep me.
For days, I run. I climb trees to hide from their noses, mask my scent in streams, and set traps that draw blood. Each night, the danger grows, not just from them, but from rogue assassins who’d rather see me dead than crowned.
Because I’m not just prey.
I’m a secret the Moon has been hiding, a Moonbound Queen, capable of binding more than one alpha. If I survive, I can unite every bloodline… or destroy them all.
But to break the Hunt’s magic, I’ll have to do the unthinkable:
Let all four alphas catch me.
Claim me.
And make me theirs.
Enemies turned protectors. Protectors turned lovers. Lovers who will burn the world before they let me go.
The Hunt has begun. And I’m no one’s prey.
