Luna's Bargain: Bound to the Alpha King

Volume One: The Blood Pact Chapter 1: The Wolf Clan Crisis Lycan Blackwood, the werewolf leader who rules the largest wolf pack in North America, the "Shadow Claw." After finishing breakfast, Lycan sat by the window, staring absentmindedly at the weeds in the yard. He had been leading his clan in battles everywhere for the past few days and hadn’t returned home for nearly half a year. Most of the flowers in the yard had already withered. Lycan felt conflicted; the situation this year was truly grim. The territory’s resources were depleted, the vampire clan was under threat, and each battle took a heavy toll. If things continued like this, the situation would only worsen. He needed to come up with a solution quickly. After changing clothes, Lycan went to his grandfather Noah’s house. His grandfather was taking a midday rest at home. Seeing Lycan arrive, Noah sat up from the sofa bed and brewed a cup of black tea for both of them. Noticing Lycan’s furrowed brow, Noah twisted the ring on his hand. This ring was an ancient artifact that could sense what everyone was thinking and detect danger. Legend had it that Grandfather Noah had relied on this ring to achieve victory in wars. Now, the blue light emanating from the ring made Noah uneasy. Before Noah could speak, Lycan voiced his worries. Under Lycan’s leadership, the wolf clan had still grown stronger, but it was impossible to avoid the impact the current environment was having on him. “Grandfather Noah, the wolf clan is not what it used to be. In recent years, the territory’s resources have gradually diminished, and the werewolves’ living environment is under threat. Five years ago, my father died in battle fighting the vampire clan. Although we barely won under my leadership, the wolf clan itself suffered great losses. The threats we face now are very serious. Is there any way I can improve the current situation? At this rate, I don’t think we can hold on much longer.” Noah Dad noticed Lycan's worry and slowly said, "Lycan, you have been through a lot over the years and have grown a lot in these years as the leader of the wolf clan. Have you perhaps considered finding a partner? It is rumored that if the wolf clan marries someone with the ancient Moon Goddess bloodline, it can strengthen their own power. Maybe if you can find such a lady, the combination of your wolf clan bloodline and the ancient Moon Goddess bloodline could bring a glimmer of hope to the entire wolf clan. But..." "But what?" Lycan asked impatiently. "Only that the true descendants of the ancient Moon Goddess bloodline are produced with a very small probability through the combination of half-blood and human genes, and under the influence of the Moon Goddess, even if this person is a descendant of the Moon Goddess, before awakening they are no different from normal people. Only on the full moon night is there a certain chance for their abilities to manifest. They are really hard to find." Noah turned the ring again, feeling that the ring was in a slightly different state than usual. A faint red crack appeared within the silver collar. Lycan also noticed this situation and hurriedly asked Noah what was going on. Unlike his usual lazy demeanor, Grandfather Noah looked at Lycan with a serious expression and said, "Lycan, the wolf clan is facing internal and external troubles. Some in the blood clan are deliberately disrupting the order, and there are those within the wolf clan eyeing your position. You must quickly improve your abilities，only then can you protect our clan and secure your place." Noah continued, "The ring has shown us that the descendants with the bloodline of the Moon Goddess bear a red scar in the shape of a crack on their back. This mark was left by the Moon Goddess during a battle on a full moon night five thousand years ago. Perhaps if we find such a person, our wolf clan might be saved." After hearing Grandfather Noah's words, Lycan fell into deep thought. Perhaps what is needed now is to find a person with a red crack scar on their back, whether man or woman, and bring them into the wolf clan. This might help the wolf clan.
