Marked by the Moon: Alpha’s Forbidden Bride”

Chapter 1: Contracted Bride The sky of Silver Claw City is always silent and gloomy. The towering Alpha Tower looms in the mist, like a god overlooking all living things, while the "slave area" under its feet is dirty and messy, filled with strong beast smell and the stench of abandoned blood. Evelyn Leia stood outside the iron gate of the slave area, the heavy silver chain on her wrist had already worn her skin, and blood dripped from her fingertips. She did not struggle, but just looked up coldly and stared at the heavy iron door that was about to open." Contract number #1130, enter the Alpha selection channel." A cold and ruthless female voice came from the loudspeaker high up, like a trial. The iron gate slowly opened, and four black-armored examiners pulled her out of the slave area and pushed her into another closed space. The room was cold and white, and the walls were covered with Alpha pheromone detectors and marking evaluation devices. " Please take off your shirt.""Test for pheromone sensing ability.""Confirm whether you are eligible for breeding." She stood still, watching coldly as several Beta technicians in white robes inspected her. No one explained what she was about to face, and no one cared why she was on the selection list of the slave area. She didn't belong here. She was once a free person, an intern at the Pharmacist Association, and had a letter of recommendation for entering the city-state medical school. But her parents died suddenly, leaving a huge "debt", and she became one of the slaves without a chance to defend herself. And now, she is going to be "sold" to an Alpha for contractual mating and bloodline continuation. Evelyn pursed her lips, there was no fear in her eyes, only hatred suppressed in calmness. "Sir Alpha, are you really determined to have her?" In the parliament trial hall, a white-haired old man asked in a low voice, his voice was almost inaudible. Killian Veles stood in front of the huge French window, overlooking the entire Silver Claw City. His figure was as tall as a mountain, wearing silver-patterned black armor, his face was as cold as a knife, and his gray eyes were as quiet as if they wanted to devour everything." Her pheromones are highly consistent with my marking reaction." He spoke lightly, his tone calm but unquestionable." But she is just a... slave, her identity is unknown, and there is no record of purebred."" Precisely because of her unknown identity, she is more suitable for my purpose." He turned slowly, his eyes sharp as an eagle, "The parliament does not need to know who my marking object is."" Yes... Your Excellency." He does not need love or loyalty. He only needs a contract partner who can breed offspring, obey orders, and will not question him when necessary. When Evelyn was brought to the ceremony room, she had changed into a silver wedding dress and wore a contract ring engraved with a silver moon pattern around her neck - that was the symbol of the "slave bride". She had never thought that her first "wedding" would be conducted like this: a cold palace-like hall, a silent Beta priest, and an Alpha bridegroom who had never spoken to her. Swear. The priest's voice was low." I, Killian Veles, in the name of the Alpha of Silver Claw City, conclude this contract."" I, Evelyn Leia, in the name of the wolf bloodline, accept this contract." Just as the two of them completed the oath, the contract ring on her neck suddenly became hot, a silver light shot up into the sky, and a complex silver moon pattern appeared in the air. The priest's pupils shrank: "Is that... the Moon God Seal?!" Everyone was stunned, and Killian also frowned. Evelyn looked down at her exposed clavicle, and the "Moon Seal" that had never appeared since birth finally awakened at this moment, as if fate had arrived. " From today on—" she began slowly, her voice no longer suppressed, "you are no longer the only one who controls me."
