She was sent to end a war. She never expected to become the reason one nearly started again.

When Ysolde Vael crosses into enemy territory as a treaty ward — no title, no protection, no right of recall — she arrives with two satchels, twelve years of survival instincts, and absolutely no intention of feeling anything for the warlord who received her. Aldric Morvane is everything the highland pack records claimed: controlled, ruthless, and feared across four generations of territorial history. What the records failed to mention is that he stocked her workroom with the right journals. That he reads documents three times before he says a word about them. That when the Blood Moon rises three nights after her arrival and the fated mate bond snaps into place between them, he does not go to her tower.
He gives her room to choose.
The problem is not the bond. The bond is manageable, clinically speaking. The problem is the Hollowing — the ancient deterioration that begins when a fated bond goes uncompleted — and the treaty clause that makes completion impossible without shattering the alliance Ysolde was sent to secure. The problem is the man who has spent thirty-four years engineering the war between their packs, who is watching their growing alliance with the specific anxiety of someone whose entire commercial empire depends on it failing, and who has contingencies Ysolde is only beginning to uncover. The problem is that Aldric Morvane, after nine years of running a territory on the wrong kind of fuel, is running out of reasons to keep the careful distance the treaty requires.
And Ysolde Vael — who spent twelve years being useful, survivable, and nothing more — is running out of reasons to manage a distance she stopped believing in a long time ago.
Claimed by the Blood Moon Alpha is a slow-burn paranormal romance set in a richly built highland wolf-shifter world, where political intrigue runs as deep as the mate bond and the best love stories are the ones that earn every inch. Featuring a sharp-tongued memory-keeper who builds her own rescue from the inside out, an alpha who shows love through logistics before he ever says a word of it, and a conspiracy thirty-four years in the making — this is not a story about being claimed. It is a story about choosing.

If you love fated mate slow burns, intelligent heroines, and dark paranormal worlds where the romance has real weight behind it, you will not put this down.

The mate bond does not lie. And neither does she. But some truths take twenty days to say out loud — and everything depends on what happens when they finally do.
