The ShadowMoon Alpha

Once a year, on the same dreadful night, a sacrifice is made in honor of the Wolf God. The God accepts his sacrifice, blessing the pack with his strength and riches for the next year.
But as time went on, pack after pack stopped the barbaric ceremony, realizing that killing an innocent was no longer worth the little they would gain from an absent God.
However tradition is hard to kill, and Melanie is the next chosen sacrifice.
Daughter to the Alpha of SilverMoon, she knew there was no way to stop the ancient tradition, and so accepted her fate.
By chance, she was saved and fled from death at her father's hand by none other than her mate. Her Alpha mate, who rules over the most feared and deadly pack in North America, ShadowMoon.
He never dreamed of finding his mate, and now that he has found her, he will never let her go.
But her father wants her back and would do anything to get Melanie onto the sacrificial altar.
