"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.
View MoreThe whole pack had gathered in the square. Rina stood in the front, her small hands shaking. She was only eleven. Her feet were bare, her clothes thin. But her eyes, wide with fear, were fixed on the man about to be hanged.
“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.The morning light spread through the large dining hall of the Sauna Pack. The long table was filled with dishes and golden plates that shone in the light that came through the wide glass windows. Servants moved quietly around, serving breakfast and refilling cups. Leah sat at the head of the table, dressed in a fine silk robe, her hair tied neatly behind her head. Her face was calm, but her eyes were full of control.Rowland sat beside her, dressed in a dark tunic, looking completely at ease. He spoke softly to Leah from time to time, smiling at her words, and the sound of their laughter filled the room. They looked like a couple made for power — proud, confident, and sure of themselves.At the other end of the table sat Maggie. She was quiet, her fingers stiff around her cup. Her face was pale, her jaw tight. She had barely touched the food on her plate. Every now and then, her eyes lifted toward Rowland, hoping he would look at her — but he never did. He didn’t e
True to get words, Leah was spending the night in Rowland's arms. She lay beside Rowland, her head resting on his chest. He was awake, staring at the ceiling with a distant look in his eyes. His mind was busy, restless, filled with thoughts of power and conquest. Leah turned slightly, tracing her fingers across his arm, but she could feel the tension in him.“What are you thinking about?” she asked softly.Rowland’s eyes shifted from the ceiling to her face. “The future,” he said in a low voice. “My future, your future, the Crystal Pack’s future and how I can join forces with as many packs as possible to take Kendrick down.”Leah frowned slightly, lifting her head to look at him properly. “You’re not still thinking about fighting Kendrick, are you? I told you already, it won’t be necessary. Kendrick has a soft heart. He won’t want his people dying over a position that should he can just let go. There will be no need for too many packs to get invo
Rowland and Maggie walked behind two guards as they were led through the wide halls of the Sauna pack house. The servants followed behind them with their luggage. Leah had ordered to arrange separate rooms for both guests, but she had made sure that Maggie’s room was far from Rowland’s.Rowland walked ahead with his usual proud posture, his chin lifted slightly, his expression calm and arrogant. Maggie followed behind him, her face tense. She had been silent for most of the walk, but her heart was burning with anger and shame. She had never thought Rowland would betray her in front of another woman, especially not in front of Leah, who had treated her with nothing but open disdain.When they turned into the inner hall, one of the servants stopped at a fork in the passage. He bowed slightly and said, “Alpha Rowland, this way, please.” He pointed toward the eastern wing of the house. Then another servant turned to Maggie and gestured toward a narrower corridor that l
The road out of the Howlers pack was long and dusty. The night air was cold, and the silence between Rowland and Maggie stretched for miles. After what happened with Alpha Lucas, Rowland had barely spoken a word. His anger burned inside him, quiet but heavy. He felt insulted and humiliated, and the rejection from the young alpha stung his pride. Maggie watched him closely as they rode, but she knew better than to speak when his face looked that way.When the morning light began to show, they stopped by a stream to rest their horses. Maggie came to sit beside him. “So,” she said softly, “what now? You said you wanted to visit as many packs as you could, but it looks like this first one has already gone wrong.”Rowland did not look at her. He was staring into the water. “We are going to the Sauna pack,” he said flatly.Maggie blinked in surprise. “The Sauna pack?”“Yes.”She frowned. “Rowland, are you forgetting what happened the last
Rowland knew that staying further and having Kendrick win the pack over was not the way out for him. He needed to move and make solid plans. He stayed up at night and made his plans.Maggie was the first to hear his plan. He called her into his room late at night when the whole pack was asleep. She came in quietly, her long robe brushing the floor. “You called for me?” she asked softly.Rowland nodded, his face hard and serious. “Yes. It’s time,” he said.“Time for what?” Maggie asked.“Time to take back what belongs to me,” Rowland said sharply. “Kendrick has taken too much. He has no right to rule. I will travel tonight. I will go to other packs and form new alliances. With their support, I can return and remove Kendrick from power.”Maggie frowned. “That’s risky, Rowland. Many alphas already know about the death of Simon and the struggle between you and Kendrick. They might not want to get involved.”Rowland’s expression darke
The two guards from the Sauna pack arrived late in the afternoon, their clothes covered in dust and their faces weary from the long journey back from the Crystal pack. Leah had been expecting them since morning. She was in the hall, pacing restlessly when she heard that they had returned. Without waiting, she called them in at once.They bowed low when they entered, their eyes lowered. “Luna,” one of them said quietly. “We have come back with the message as you ordered.”Leah turned sharply toward them. Her voice was impatient. “What did they say? Did Rowland send any message back?”The guards exchanged a nervous glance. One of them spoke first. “We met with the Crystal pack’s warriors, and we told them we came with a message from you. Alpha Kendrick came to us before we could see Rowland.”Leah frowned. “Kendrick?”“Yes, Luna. He demanded to know why we came and who sent us. We told him you were now Luna of the Sauna pack and that Alpha
