로그인Imagine being considered so useless that the first time someone asks for you as a gift, you're actually given to them. That was Rina's reality. She was considered the cursed daughter of a traitorous father and weak mother. Her red hair, which grows back rapidly after being cut was considered a proof of that curse by some. On the night she was born, the Sauna pack faced its most brutal attack and this tragic event was directly linked to her birthing. But when powerful twin princes Kendrick and Rowland show up to discuss pack business and their eyes catch the supposed cursed girl, life for Rina becomes different. One prince wants her to be his breeder and one claims that he is fated to her. The prince who lays claim to her first by demanding her from her alpha will own her. So when the first prince asks for her, she is given to him as a gift, and that's where her story begins.
더 보기The council chamber was a large room. It was built of gray stone. The air inside was always cool. It smelled of old parchment and beeswax candles. A long table stood in the center of the room. It was made of dark oak. It was heavy and solid. Twelve chairs sat around the table. They were high-backed chairs carved with the symbols of the wolves.Kendrick sat at the head of the table. He wore a simple black tunic. He looked tired. The shadows under his eyes were deep. But his gaze was sharp. He watched the men and women sitting around him. These were the elders. These were the keepers of the law. They were the ones who remembered the history of the pack.Rina sat to his right. She wore a dress of deep blue. It was the color of the evening sky. She sat tall. Her hands rested folded on the table. She did not look at the floor. She looked straight ahead. She looked at the elders. She knew why they were here. She knew what they wanted to say.The room was quiet. Dust motes danced in the shaf
Kendrick knelt in the mud. He did not stand up immediately. He stayed there with the body. The silence of the forest returned. It was deeper now. It was final.Kendrick felt a lump in his throat. He swallowed it down. He did not weep. Tears would not change anything. Tears would not bring back the dead. But he mourned. He mourned the waste of a life. He mourned the boy who had been his friend. He mourned the man who could have been a great king if his heart had not been twisted by greed."Goodbye," Kendrick whispered. The word was lost in the wind.He stood up. His knees were wet. His hands were stained. He wiped the dagger on the grass. He put it back in his belt. He did not look back at the body. He could not. If he looked back, he might break. He had to be strong. The pack needed him to be strong.Kendrick turned and walked out of the clearing. He walked back toward the lights of the camp.The camp was quiet. The battle was over. The soldiers were tired. They sat around small fires

The battle didn't stop. The men Rowland had gathered, the left behind, the rejected, the displaced—they didn't stop fighting. They didn't stop dying in their numbers at the hands of men of the Howlers pack, the Khalaal pack, the Feral Pack and the Crystal pack. They fought with their lives. It made Kendrick sad. They were giving up their lives for a course they believed was just. This was what desperation had caused them.But they were too few now. They started to give up. And one after the other, they began to retreat until the last of them was gone.Kendrick stood in a small clearing. He was alone. The trees surrounded him like tall, black pillars. Their branches were bare and twisted. They looked like skeleton fingers reaching for the sky. The ground beneath his boots was soft. It was churned up by the fighting. He had held Rowland's men off for three days, keeping the war outside the Crystal pack walls.Kendrick did not move. He stood still as a statue. He was waiting. He did
Kendrick entered the chambers quickly. His footsteps echoed lightly against the wooden floor. He saw Rina sitting by the window, her hands folded in her lap. He stopped a short distance away and spoke with urgency.“Rina, this letter… it is troubling. The Sauna pack… they have locked the elders awa

Lucas reached the Sauna pack gates in the early hours of the day. The land was quiet, but the air felt tense. He rode with a small team of his trusted guards. When they reached the high wooden gates, two Sauna pack guards stepped forward and blocked the entrance with their spears.One guard lifted
Two days later, Alpha Lucas sat in his study, surrounded by scrolls and open books. There were days he enjoyed his duties as an alpha and there were days he struggled through his duties.
