I was born to shine. But the fate had others plans for me. The moment my feet left the edge, the world fell silent. There was only wind. And peace. For one fragile heartbeat, I was free. Like a bird. Then something slammed into me from behind. Arms. Hard. Unforgiving. The impact hurled me sideways instead of down. Wood splintered. Something inside me cracked. Darkness rushed in and I welcomed it. … “Open. Your. Eyes.” The voice was quiet, slow, deliberate. It forced its way through bone and blood. An Alpha command. Pain detonated through me as air tore back into my lungs. My body convulsed against my will. I tried to sink back into the quiet—to finish what I had started. “You were NEVER given permission to die.” Power wrapped around the words like chains. My eyes snapped open. We were beyond the pack’s borders. The air felt colder. Wilder. Untouched by law or duty. For one second, I had belonged to nothing. And he had dragged me back. He loomed above me, fury carved into every sharp angle of his face. His breathing was controlled, his posture dominant - absolute. If anyone were watching from the cliffs, they would see an Alpha asserting ownership. His jaw tightened, irritated at being forced to deal with something that should have already been resolved. I had complicated his plans. “Drink.” His wrist pressed my mouth. The metallic scent hit first. I tried to clamp my lips shut. But Alpha commands do not ask. They take. My mouth opened against my will and his blood burned down my throat, spreading heat through my chest. A cruel gift. He would not even grant me the mercy of dying on my own terms. And I understood - even my death did not belong to me.

1. The Mark
The moment my feet left the edge, the world fell silent.
There was only wind.
And peace.
For one fragile heartbeat, I was free.
Like a bird.
Then something slammed into me from behind.
Arms. Hard. Unforgiving. The impact hurled me sideways instead of down. Wood splintered. Something inside me cracked. Darkness rushed in and I welcomed it. … “Open. Your. Eyes.” The voice was quiet, slow, deliberate. It forced its way through bone and blood. An Alpha command. Pain detonated through me as air tore back into my lungs. My body convulsed against my will.

I had complicated his plans. “Drink.” His wrist pressed my mouth. The metallic scent hit first. I tried to clamp my lips shut. But Alpha commands do not ask. They take. My mouth opened against my will and his blood burned down my throat, spreading heat through my chest. A cruel gift. He would not even grant me the mercy of dying on my own terms. And I understood - even my death did not belong to me. --- But there had been a time when I belonged to myself. When I was strong. When the future was bright. --- “Again.” Dust rose around us in the training ring. The sun burned hot above the clearing. Darius circled me slowly. Three years older. Broad shoulders. Already fully shifted. “You’re quick,” he said with a smirk. “But you’re still smaller.” “Then don’t miss.”He lunged first.
I stepped into him instead. My forearm deflected his strike. My knee drove into his thigh. He staggered—just enough. I twisted, hooked his leg, and sent him crashing to the ground. Before he could recover, I pinned him hard, forearm at his throat. “Yield.” A breathless second passed. Then he tapped the dirt twice. The ring exploded with cheers. Darius laughed as I released him and pulled him back to his feet.“You fight like an Alpha.” he said
“No,” my father’s voice cut through the noise. He stepped forward, pride undisguised. “She fights like mine.” Applause thundered again. Dust clung to my skin. Blood marked my lip. But I had never felt more certain of who I was. --- Later that same week, four of us stood around a strategy table—future leaders of the strongest neighboring packs. Maps. Markers. Borders. Two alliances broken. One supply chain severed. Only one king still standing. Mine. The visiting Alphas exchanged measured looks before nodding once. Respect. My father’s hand rested briefly on my shoulder. “Well played.” That alone was enough. --- That night, the pack celebrated me. Torches flared high with a great bonfire at the center. Drums echoed through the clearing.Genuine smiles and applauses welcomed me when I appeared.
Warriors clasped my shoulders with rough affection. Elders blessed me with warm smiles. Children tugged at my sleeves, demanding to know what kind of trick I pulled to win against those big boys.
And I?
I laughed a lot. I danced to my heart. I let myself sink in the love of my pack and my family.
My once braided red hair was now freely let down to my waist. Flowers were still tucked randomly in there. Red fires from the torches were dancing in my green eyes. Ashes marked my cheeks as a symbol of the blessings I had recieved that night.
I stood at the center of my pack — exactly where I belonged. --- When the noise softened, my parents called me inside. My mother held a small parchment. On it, two intertwined crowns wrapped in climbing vines. “A gift” she said in a soft voice. “It represents the balance between power and wisdom. Between strength and restraint.” “And sacrifice,” my father added.The vines were elegant. The thorns subtle.
“I love it,” I said.
My mother’s smile was warm. She stepped closer, her fingers brushing lightly over my chest.
“Above your heart?” She murmured. “Where true power belongs?”
I did not hesitate.
“Perfect.”
For a fleeting second, something flickered in her eyes.
“My little girl,” she whispered, pulling me into her arms. “You are growing so fast.”
My father joined us, wrapping both of us in his embrace.
And my brother? He took just a second before forcing himself in. Laugh erupted again.
Love had always been the foundation of our family.
“You will shine,” my mother whispered.I believed her.
And in that perfect moment, I believed it would always be enough.

Born to shine 7. No Way Back
I woke up to pain. Not the sharp kind that steals your breath, but something heavier, more persistent—like a weight pressing down from the inside. It settled into every movement, every breath, making even stillness feel like effort. So I stayed where I was, eyes closed, letting the sensation anchor me in place. And I thought. I couldn’t stay here anymore. My family was gone, and this pack… this pack was no longer a home. Somewhere along the way, it had lost something essential. Compassion. Loyalty. The instinct to protect the weak instead of turning away from them. I didn’t belong here. I had to leave. Soon. They kept me in the healing house only as long as necessary—just enough to make sure I wouldn’t die. Then, I was moved. To the dungeon. The moment I stepped inside, the sound of voices greeted me. I wasn’t alone, as I expected. My mind was still too slow, too clouded. But gradually, faces began to take shape. A young warrior with a poorly wrapped arm. An older woman

Chapter 6 The whip lay coiled on the stone bench beside Aron. For a moment, no one moved. The evening air felt colder than it should have been. The courtyard walls trapped the silence, pressing it down over all of us. I wanted to scream. To tell them how unfair it all was. How none of it had ever been my fault. Not my missing wolf. Not my missing parents. And certainly not this pendant. I wanted to tell them that even now, after everything that had happened, there was still a chance to mend what they had broken. I would forgive it all. I loved this pack like a family. I still do. But this… this was a line they should never cross. This was them rejecting me. As a pack member. As a mate. As a person. I wanted to cry. To beg. To make them see. And maybe I should. “Are you sure?” I asked, looking at my mate. “Is this your final word?” I searched his eyes. Waiting for even the smallest flicker of something. Something worth fighting for. Nothing. He didn’t answer. He didn

5 days later When I arrived, the yard was empty. The laughter that usually greeted me was gone. Inside, the children were sitting in rows behind desks while an instructor stood in front of the room. “Extra lessons,” one of the caretakers explained when she noticed me standing by the door. “The Alpha ordered a new program for the younger ones.” I nodded, pretending it made perfect sense. Of course it did. The children barely looked up when I waved. They were already busy copying something from the board. Training. Lessons. Discipline. Order above all. I stayed only a minute before quietly stepping outside again. The walk back to the house felt longer than usual. By the time I reached the door, the sun was already setting. For a moment I simply stood there, staring at the dark windows. He is doing it on purpose, I thought. He is taking everything from me. Slowly. Methodically. Maybe the nostalgia for what I once had — and the primal need to belong to a pack — were the s

In the days that followed, changes began to appear everywhere. Patrols along the borders doubled. Training sessions started earlier and ended later. Warriors who had once joked with one another in the yard now moved with a sharper focus. At first the pack welcomed it. Strength always brings comfort. But slowly the atmosphere shifted. Order had replaced warmth, and the pack no longer felt like a family. It felt like an army. And in an army, everyone must have a purpose. I tried to find mine. The next morning, I went to the training yard. It had once been my favorite place in the pack. The ground still carried the marks of hundreds of sparring matches, and the scent of dust and sweat clung to the air. But when I stepped into the ring, the conversation around me quieted. The warriors greeted me politely enough, yet none of them asked me to join. I stood awkwardly in the center of the ring where I grew up and for the first time I really felt like an outsider in my pack. “Resum
