The Alpha King's Moon-blessed Hybrid

A count's adopted son takes his beloved's place as a sacrifice to the cursed mad wolf king — a chamber no one survives till dawn. When the king, chains broken and holy marks bleeding, lunges, the boy presses a hand to his chest. The beast falls silent. He walks out alive, the only soul who can soothe the monster. But the Church knows his secret: ancient Moon God blood flows in his veins — enough to free the king from their control. The blood moon rises, and his wolf blood awakens.
