"Rina, the cursed daughter of a traitor and a weak mother, is hated by the Sauna pack. Born on the night of a brutal attack, Rina's existence is a painful reminder. Leah, the alpha's daughter, despises Rina, especially when she catches the eye of the pack's young men despite being a slave. Leah's anger boils over, and she brutally cuts off Rina's long hair. "You think you're worthy of love because of this filthy hair?" Leah sneers. "You're nothing but a slave, a curse!" But Rina's hair mysteriously grows back. The arrival of powerful twin Alpha princes, Rowland and Kendrick, changes everything. Rowland, cruel and ruthless, demands Rina from the alpha. "Hand over the slave girl," he commands. "I'll make her useful, bearing my children to strengthen our bloodline." Kendrick, kind and gentle, seems to disagree, but Rowland's dark intentions for Rina leave her fate hanging in the balance.

“Papa…” she whispered, her voice cracking. The man had kind eyes and a soft smile, even now, as ropes were tied around his wrists. He was once a respected guard of Alpha Glint of the Sauna pack. He had protected the pack for years. He had never done anything wrong. But now, he was being called a traitor. “He gave our secrets to the enemy!” someone in the crowd shouted. “He let them in!” another voice said. “It’s not true!” Rina cried out. Her small voice was drowned by the crowd’s anger. Alpha Glint stood high above them all. He wore a dark robe and his face showed no pity. Rina ran to him, pulling at his sleeve. “Please, Alpha! My papa didn’t do it! He’s loyal! He never betrayed anyone!” Guards pulled her away. Alpha Glint looked down at her. “The evidence is clear,” he said coldly. “Your father is guilty.” “No!” Rina screamed, her knees hitting the ground. Her father looked at her one last time. “Be strong, my little moon,” he said softly. Then the platform dropped. Rina’s scream filled the air. That night, she cried until her eyes hurt. No one came to comfort her. She had no one. Her mother had died the day she was born. The women in the pack often whispered about that. “She brought death with her,” they said. “Her mother died giving birth, and on that same day, the pack was attacked.” It was true. On the day Rina was born, a neighboring pack invaded. Many wolves died. The air was filled with fire, smoke, and blood. Since then, people said her birth had brought bad luck. “She is cursed,” they said. “Nothing good will ever come from her.” After her father’s death, Rina had nowhere to go. No family. No friends. She was taken to the Royal Pack House—but not to live like the others. She was put in the servant quarters, a small dirty room under the stairs. It smelled like mold. There was only one old blanket and a broken stool. Her days were long and painful. She cleaned the floors, washed clothes, carried heavy firewood, and scrubbed the toilets. Other servants avoided her. No one wanted to be friends with the cursed girl. She was always hungry. She ate the leftovers, and sometimes, there were none. Rina was always tired. Her back hurt. Her fingers bled from hard work. But she never cried in front of anyone. Only at night, in her tiny room, did she let the tears fall. She would press her face into her blanket and sob quietly. The worst part of her life in the pack house was Leah. Leah was the Alpha’s daughter. She was also eleven but treated like a queen. She wore soft clothes, had long black hair, and always had servants around her. She hated Rina. “Stay away from me, cursed child,” Leah would say. If Rina walked into a room, Leah would wrinkle her nose. “Ugh, what’s that smell? Oh, it’s you.” Once, Rina made a mistake while cleaning the dining room. She dropped a plate. Leah laughed loudly. “You can’t do anything right, can you?” She told the guards Rina had broken the plate on purpose. That night, Rina didn’t eat. She was locked in a small wooden box as punishment. It was cold and dark, and she cried for hours, whispering, “Papa… I miss you…” Eight Years Later Years passed. Rina grew up in pain and silence. By the time she turned 19, she was beautiful. But she didn’t know it. Her hair was long and ginger, thick like a waterfall. Her skin was pale but smooth. Her eyes were soft green, full of sadness. Men in the pack started to look at her. She didn’t ask for it. She only walked quietly and did her work. But still, their eyes followed her. This made Leah furious. “She thinks she’s special?” Leah said one day. “She’s nothing but a cursed slave!” Leah called Rina into her room. “Cut your hair,” she ordered. Rina looked at her in shock. “What?” “I said cut it! Or I’ll do it for you.” Rina refused. She couldn’t let go of the one thing that made her feel like herself. So Leah dragged her to the back of the house, grabbed a knife, and chopped off her hair. “Let’s see who looks at you now,” she hissed. She also gave Rina old torn clothes to wear. From that day, Rina looked like a beggar. Still, her hair grew back quickly. In a few months, it was just as long and full as before. The servants whispered about it. “It’s not normal,” one said. “It must be the moon goddess.” Leah saw it too. Her anger grew. Rina tried her best to stay out of everyone’s way. She worked harder than any other servant. But still, she was punished often. One evening, after being slapped by the head maid for something she didn’t do, Rina ran into the woods. She didn’t stop until she was deep among the trees. She fell to her knees and cried. “Why me? Why do they hate me?” Inside her, a voice spoke gently. “Rina… I’m here.” It was Mel, her wolf. “I can’t do this anymore,” Rina whispered. “You are stronger than you know.” “I’m tired of being weak.” “You are not weak. One day, they will see what you really are.” Rina wiped her tears. “When? I’ve waited so long…” Mel was quiet, but Rina felt her warmth. She was not alone—not fully. The next day was worse. Rina was carrying heavy firewood across the yard when she tripped and fell. The wood scattered everywhere. Leah, who had been watching, laughed. “What a mess. Can’t even walk straight.” Rina didn’t respond. She started picking up the wood quietly. “Don’t ignore me,” Leah snapped. Still, Rina didn’t say anything. Leah’s face turned red. “You think you’re better than me because of your hair? Because boys look at you?” Rina stood up slowly. “I don’t want anyone looking at me.” “You lie!” Leah screamed. She looked around. No one else was there. Just the two of them. She grabbed Rina’s arm and dragged her toward the woods. “Leah, stop—what are you doing?” “I’ll make sure no one looks at you again.” Rina struggled. “Let go!” They reached a thick part of the woods. Leah pulled out a small blade from her pocket. “You think your hair makes you special?” she shouted. “Let’s see how special you are without it!” Rina backed away. “Please don’t do this again—” Leah grabbed a handful of her hair and slashed with the blade. The ginger strands fell to the ground. Rina gasped, eyes wide with shock. “You’ll never shine again. It won't grow so fast this time. They'll take their eyes off you now,” Leah said with a cold smile.Kendrick sat alone in the training yard, tossing a stone between his hands. The moonlight touched his face, but his thoughts were heavy.Rowland hadn’t spoken to him for days.Since that night outside the shed, things had changed. There were more guards around Rina now. She was given more work. Less food. And she had been moved to the room right opposite Rowland's Kendrick knew his brother was angry. But he didn’t care. He also knew his brother was being unnecessarily wicked to Rina and he didn't understand why. He couldn’t stop thinking about her.Inside the Alpha’s hall, their father, Alpha Simon sat at the long table, watching his two sons in silence.Rowland spoke with the warriors. Kendrick stayed quiet.Simon leaned toward his Beta. “Something is wrong between them,” he said in a low voice.The Beta nodded. “It’s about the ginger head girl, I believe.”Simon didn’t reply. His eyes narrowed slightly.The next morning, Rina walked through the halls, her basket full of laundry.S
The shed smelled like dirt and old wood.Rina sat on the cold floor, arms wrapped around her knees. Her dress was torn. Her back still ached from the long ride and the heavy chores.There was no bed. No blanket. Just a pile of hay in the corner. Alpha prince was as cruel as the rest of her tormentors had been. He had mentioned that she would have better living conditions, but he didn't care. He didn't want to make her life any easier. He just wanted a servant that he could experiment with. This life was much worse than anything she'd ever had. She was in a strange place, far away from lands she was familiar with, and with equally cold people who were complete strangers to her. A rat ran past her foot. She didn’t move.Her voice was dry when she whispered, “Mel… are you still there?”A soft voice echoed in her mind.“I’m here. I see your inner battles and the hurt…and I see all the pain.”Rina closed her eyes. “I want to go home.”“You have no home there anymore.”Tears rolled down h
"Who is she?" Rowland asked.The servant bowed his head. "The girl with the red hair, sire?""Yes. The one in the gray dress.""Her name is Rina. She’s a servant. A slave, actually."Rowland frowned. "Why does she look so… different?"The servant hesitated. "There are stories. Some say she has powers. Others call her cursed. The rumours about the powers are because of the hair. It grows more rapidly than the hairs of other werewolves. But she's weak, sure.”Rowland’s eyes narrowed. "Cursed?"“She was born during a pack invasion. Her mother died that night. Her father was hanged for treason later.”Rowland folded his arms. “So she’s alone.”“Yes, sire.”Meanwhile, Kendrick stood by the window of his room. He watched Rina from a distance as she swept the courtyard. They had come to discuss things regarding pack alliances. But this girl was taking his mind off the main reason he was in the Sauna pack. Her movements were slow. Her back slightly bent. Her dress still stained. He wondered
“Rina! Wake up! You’re late again!”The sharp voice made her eyes fly open.“I’m sorry,” she said quickly, sitting up. Her back throbbed where the whip had hit her last night. The room was barely lit, save for the moonlight that sometimes served as light. On some nights, she had insects crawl from under her straw bed on to her clothes. Sometimes, they bit her and left spots. “You think ‘sorry’ is enough?” the woman snapped. “The feast is tonight. Get moving, rat.”The door slammed shut.Rina sat still for a moment, breathing slowly. This was the life she knew. She didn't have to be beautiful. She just needed to keep away from trouble. Then she touched her head and froze.Her hair—her long, ginger hair was back.Rina was more shocked than she was delighted. Since Leah had Started cutting her hair, assuming it was just the hair that made her beautiful, the hair had not ceased to grow back only after a couple of months. This time, she'd woken up to her hair full and back at its former
