Belonging to the Mad Alpha

923·Lady Ruby

Cursed by the Moon Goddess and marked from birth, Lucy bears the half-moon tattoo that seals her fate, promising her, untouched, to the infamous mad Alpha. Her wolf would awaken only after their union. Her freedom? Never. But on the night of their binding, Lucy escapes. Aided by a mysterious stranger she believes to be human, she flees into the unknown, abandoning the pack, the ritual, and the beast she was meant to bind herself to. Haunted by fear and hunted by prophecy, she buries her past and vanishes into the human world, pouring her soul into a new life at a prestigious music academy. There, the wolves can't find her. There, she can pretend she’s just a girl. Even if her wolf never woke. Even if the night she ran might have broken something sacred. But fate does not forget. As her new life begins to unravel, Lucy realizes too late that running didn’t save her—it only delayed the storm. What she defied was more than tradition. What she abandoned was more than a mate. And what’s coming for her now could destroy not only the girl she’s become… but the world she left behind.
