I Received the Beast Male Lead as a Birthday Present

I was born as the beloved daughter of the wealthiest family in the empire. To celebrate becoming an adult, I was planning to go on a grand shopping spree for my birthday gift. So, I reluctantly followed along to an auction house… But somehow, I ended up discovering the male lead trapped behind bars. And not only was he not human, but he was lying there in the form of a wolf. If I left him like that, He would surely end up being dragged away by a psycho-like noble and subjected to ab*se, just like in the original story. I couldn’t bear to witness such a sight, so I asked my parents to bid for him. “As my birthday gift, please buy this.” I thought that once we brought him home, we would give him some basic treatment and let him go back to his own territory. But I was mistaken. *** “I am your birthday gift. You should take responsibility for me until the end.” Michael lazily smiled. As I saw his narrowed eyes, I swallowed a dry gulp. The wolf, whom I thought had safely returned to his pack, came back to me six months later. He asked to become my companion.
