The Alpha Christmas claimUpdated at Feb 13, 2026, 05:23
Lila was only looking for a quiet life. Instead, she got a werewolf.
Heartbreak was the last thing Lila expected on Christmas Eve. Finding her human boyfriend cheating was devastating, but fleeing his apartment and running straight into a territorial Alpha's path was world-shattering.
Rhys is everything Lila’s old life wasn’t: primal, dangerous, and overwhelmingly powerful. In a single, guttural declaration, he shoves her past aside and claims her as his Fated Mate. She is no longer just Lila, the coffee shop barista. She is now the human girl belonging to the most dominant wolf in the territory.
Trapped in Rhys’s remote Pack House, Lila struggles to accept a reality where myths are real and the pull of the mate bond is an agonizing, undeniable force. Rhys promises her protection and security, but his possessive touch and demanding presence only fuel her fear.
The danger escalates when Victor, a ruthless rival Alpha, sees the human mate as a strategic weakness. Now, Lila is caught between two warring packs, forced into a corner where she must choose:
Fight the fierce bond that promises a lifetime of love and protection.
Embrace the wolf within Rhys and help him defend his territory and their life together.
As the snow falls, covering the tracks of her past, Lila realizes the only way to survive the holidays is to surrender to the savage man who claimed her. But when the dust settles, will she still want to go back? Or will she belong to the Alpha forever?
This description moves beyond the first chapter, introduces the core antagonist (Victor), and sets up the central romantic choice, which is perfect for a full contest entry blurb!
