The alpha's Contract Luna - A Marriage-of-Convenience Werewolf Romance #968305

She signed the contract to survive. She never planned to need him.
Soraya Orin has spent her entire life belonging to no one. As the last Oath-Keeper — a rare bloodline gifted with the ability to sense every lie ever spoken — she is prized by all five wolf packs and owned by none. Her neutrality is her armor. Her freedom is the only thing she has never negotiated away.
Until now.
When the ruthless Alpha of the most powerful pack in the northern territories comes to her with an offer she cannot refuse, Soraya finds herself signing the Contract Lunae — an ancient moon-goddess compact that binds her to Aldric Vael as his Luna. The arrangement is political. Temporary. Safe. One year, a clean exit clause, and no emotional entanglements. She is an Oath-Keeper. She knows the difference between a vow and a feeling.
Except the ancient contract has its own rules — and it does not care about her terms.
Aldric Vael has ruled his pack with iron control since he became Alpha at nineteen, after watching grief turn his father into a ghost and an enemy's blade finish the rest. He does not allow attachments. He does not create vulnerabilities. He needs a Luna to secure his political standing against a rising rogue faction, and Soraya is the only woman all five packs will accept. This is strategy. Nothing more.
But his wolf recognized her the moment she walked through his gates. And the Contract Lunae, sealed in blood beneath a full moon at stones older than memory, is already tightening.
Now a shadowy enemy called the Hollow Alpha is moving against them — and he wants Soraya's blood. Her Oath-Keeper lineage carries ancient lunar power capable of destroying everything Aldric has spent thirteen years protecting. Every day she stays in Ashenmoor, she becomes a bigger target. Every day she stays, the bond between them becomes harder to call temporary.
As the threat closes in and the contract's ancient magic refuses to let them keep their careful distance, Soraya must choose between the neutrality that has kept her safe her entire life and the one vow she never intended to mean — the one the moon witnessed before she was ready to.
And Aldric must learn that the bravest thing an Alpha can do is not hold the line.
It is letting someone in.
