Cursed by the Moon Goddess, Alpha Andy Parker has spent a century trapped between man and beast-his soul fractured, his fate sealed. The only way to break his torment is to find his true mate before the next blood moon. But time is running out. Barbara Hill never believed in fate. As a rogue, she has spent her life running from packs that would see her as nothing more than a pawn. But when she crosses into Nightfang territory, she finds herself face-to-face with a monstrous wolf-one whose golden eyes burn into her very soul. Andy knows Barbara is the key to breaking his curse, but the shadows of his past threaten to consume them both. As ancient enemies rise and betrayals unfold, they must decide-will they fight together, or will the curse claim them both under the light of the blood moon?

Moonbound: The Alpha's Last Vow Chapter 1 1

The wind howled through the trees of Nightfang territory, carrying the scent of blood and the whisper of curses long cast. Andy Parker stood at the edge of the dark forest, his massive frame rigid as he fought the beast within. It clawed at his mind, threatening to take over, as it had for the past hundred years.

The curse was worsening. His fingers curled into fists, claws threatening to break through his human skin. He gritted his teeth and turned his golden eyes to the sky. The moon was nearing its fullest form- another blood moon on the horizon. Another cycle where his soul would teeter on the edge of complete destruction.

A scent drifted through the wind, cutting through his agony. It was unfamiliar yet intoxicating, like wild jasmine after a storm. His wolf snarled, pushing against his control, and his pulse thundered in his ears... A rogue.

Andy turned sharply, eyes scanning the thick shadows between the trees. The scent grew stronger, mingling with the dampness of the earth. Someone was close... Then he saw her.

She was small, her figure lean and wrapped in worn-out clothing, but her stance was firm, her chin tilted in defiance. Her hair, wild and tangled, framed a face that was striking even in the dim light. But it was her eyes that held him captive-dark, wary, and hiding secrets he couldn't yet name.

Barbara Hill.

She hadn't meant to cross into Nightfang territory. Her goal had been simple-find shelter for the night, avoid any packs, and move on by morning. But now, she was trapped under the weight of the Alpha's golden gaze, frozen as if her body had suddenly recognized something her mind couldn't comprehend.

Danger. Power. Fate.

The monstrous wolf in front of her should have struck terror into her heart, but instead, a strange pull tightened in her chest.

"Who are you?" Andy's voice was a low growl, rough from years of isolation.

Barbara swallowed hard but held her ground. "Just passing through."

A flicker of amusement crossed his face, though it was brief. "Through my land?"

"Didn't know it was yours." She wasn't about to show fear, not when she had survived far worse.

Andy studied her for a long moment, something unreadable flashing in his eyes. The curse inside him pulsed, whispering truths he hadn't expected.

Mate.

The realization struck like a lightning bolt.

His wolf roared, a desperate, possessive sound that shook the trees. Barbara flinched, instincts screaming at her to run, but something in Andy's eyes-something wounded and desperate-held her in place.

And then, the shadows around them shifted.

The scent of enemies tainted the air.

Andy stiffened, his senses sharpening. He wasn't the only one who had noticed Barbara's presence.

"Run," he ordered, but it was already too late.

A pair of glowing red eyes emerged from the darkness.

Barbara's breath hitched as more figures emerged from the shadows- three, no, four of them- wolves with red-tinged eyes and snarls curling their muzzles.

Rogues.

But these weren't ordinary rogues. Their scent was off, tainted with something unnatural, something wrong.

Andy's body shifted, muscles coiling with tension. His wolf pushed harder, demanding to be set free, but he gritted his teeth and held his ground. If he lost control now, if he fully gave in to the curse, there was no coming back.

The largest of the rogues stepped forward, his lips curling into a smirk as he shifted into human form- a tall, wiry man with scars crisscrossing his bare chest. His eyes gleamed with malice.

"Well, well. Look what we have here," the rogue drawled, his gaze flicking between Barbara and Andy. "A lost little she-wolf and a cursed Alpha. Quite the pair."

Barbara clenched her fists. She had heard of the Nightfang Alpha-of his curse, his isolation, his supposed madness. She had never planned to cross paths with him. But now, standing in the middle of his territory, caught between him and a pack of dangerous rogues, fate had other plans.

Andy took a slow step forward, his golden eyes darkening. "You're trespassing."

The rogue chuckled, unfazed. "So are we all. But I have to admit, I'm curious." His eyes flicked to Barbara. "A rogue little thing, running from something, I assume? Maybe we can help."

Barbara's lip curled in disgust. "I don't need help from the likes of you."

The rogue tsked. "Shame."

In a blink, he lunged. Andy was faster. A deep, guttural snarl tore from his throat as he moved, claws elongating as he slammed into the rogue with brutal force. They crashed to the ground in a violent tangle of limbs and teeth.

Barbara barely had time to react before another wolf lunged at her. She dodged, rolling through the dirt, her instincts screaming. She had spent years fighting to survive, but this was different. This wasn't a street brawl or a quick escape-this was war.

A rogue clamped his jaws around her arm, sharp teeth sinking into flesh. She bit back a cry, twisting and kicking him off. Blood dripped down her skin, but she had no time to dwell on the pain.

Andy's roar split the air. His wolf was taking over. Barbara turned just in time to see his form shift. He was massive-larger than any wolf she had ever seen, his fur a deep midnight black, his eyes glowing like molten gold. He was all power, all fury, and utterly terrifying. The rogues hesitated.

"Leave," Andy growled, his voice thick with the remnants of his transformation. "Or die."

The rogues exchanged wary glances. They had come expecting an easy fight, but this was something else entirely. The cursed Alpha was stronger than they had anticipated.

With a low snarl, the leader of the group backed away. "This isn't over."

Then they vanished into the night. Silence fell over the clearing, broken only by the ragged breathing of Barbara and Andy.

Barbara clutched her bleeding arm, watching Andy warily. He hadn't shifted back completely-his claws still elongated, his eyes still glowing.

He was fighting the curse. Andy turned to her, nostrils flaring as he caught the scent of her blood. His gaze darkened. "You're hurt."

Barbara lifted her chin. "I've had worse."

Something flashed in his expression- something unreadable.

"You need to come with me," he said. It wasn't a request.

Barbara frowned. "Why would I do that?"

His jaw clenched. "Because I just saved your life. And because whether you believe it or not, you're mine."

Barbara's heart slammed against her ribs. "Excuse me?"

Andy stepped closer, his presence overwhelming. "You're my mate."

Barbara's instincts screamed at her to run. She had spent her life avoiding packs, avoiding bonds. Mates were chains, a weakness that could be exploited. And yet, standing in front of this cursed Alpha, with his golden eyes burning into hers, she felt something shift deep inside her. Fate had made its move. And there was no running from it now.

This is about 1,500 words in total so far. I can continue the chapter further to reach 2k+ words, adding more tension, character depth, or a glimpse into Andy's struggle with his curse. Let me know how you'd like me to proceed!

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
