ANMELDEN"Don't move. Your dress isn't on properly." Alpha Leo Stonewell lifted a hand to adjust my ceremonial gown. But the next second, the words that came out of his mouth sent a chill down my spine. "Layla, let Lilith wear this dress instead. Don't show up at our marking ceremony on the night of the full moon. She'll take your place then." I looked up immediately. "Have you lost your mind?" He sighed softly as if to suggest I was being unreasonable. "Lilith is just an Omega in the pack. I can't bear to let her stay with me without a rightful title. Tomorrow, I'll officially mark her during the ceremony." The northern wind sliced across my face. It felt bitterly cold, but it could hardly compare to the freezing ache in my chest. "We're supposed to become mates tomorrow. If you're going to mark her, then what did the past ten years between us even mean?" Leo frowned. Impatience crept into his voice. "Your wolf spirit has been dormant all this time. To the other werewolves in the pack, you're no different from an Omega. Layla, don't worry. Even if I mark her, I'll still take care of you for the rest of your life. Let her have this marking ceremony. Lilith is young and beautiful. She can't handle being wronged." My face slowly drained of color. If this Alpha thought I wasn't as young or beautiful as Lilith Lambert, then I didn't want him as my mate either.

Almost her entire body was covered in wounds.The two werewolves who once loved each other now looked at one another with nothing but hatred."It's you!"Leo recognized her first. Murderous rage filled his eyes. He lunged forward and seized her by the throat."If you hadn't lied to me, I wouldn't have lost Layla! I wouldn't have ended up like this!"Lilith's eyes rolled back as she clawed desperately at his face."Nonsense!"You were dumb! You were the one willing to rip the moonstone from her neck for me!"Hunger, cold, and despair had driven them completely insane.They fought like wild animals. Their fangs and claws mixed with blood and mud."Go to hell!"Lilith suddenly pulled a silver dagger from her tattered clothing and drove it into Leo's chest with all her might.Cough!Leo coughed up a mouthful of dark
Six months later, dressed in a well-tailored windbreaker, I patrolled the commercial street my dad had entrusted to me. Twelve werewolf warriors accompanied me as guards.Whenever werewolves along the street saw me, most lowered their heads instinctively to avoid looking at me directly.As we passed a narrow alley piled with garbage and rotting meat, a foul-smelling figure suddenly lunged at me from the darkness.Before they could touch me, one of the werewolf warriors kicked them violently to the ground."Miss Layla, please save me!"The shewolf on the ground lifted her head weakly. Her face was covered in scars.It was Lilith.After Leo exiled her, she lost all protection.More importantly, after attempting to assassinate the Alpha King's daughter, she became someone everyone despised.The false fragility and arrogance she once wore had long been beaten away by cruelty and hunger."Miss Layla, I know I was wrong!"She dropped to her knees in the mud. She then smashed her f
The rain outside gradually stopped. Sunlight broke through the clouds and shone across the wet courtyard. It reflected brilliant streaks of light.I stood on the second-floor terrace and watched Leo being 'politely' escorted out of the palace.He looked frail beneath the morning sun. Gone was the look of pride and confidence he once had.My dad walked up to me and handed me a cup of coffee. "It's over now, my child."I accepted it and nodded gently. "Yes, Dad. It's finally over."In the days that followed, I began learning what it truly meant to be the Alpha King's daughter.My days were packed with lessons on etiquette, history, and combat training.I struggled to adapt in the beginning, but with my dad's patient guidance, loyal attendants caring for me, and new friends by my side, I slowly found my rhythm.My wolf grew stronger too. Its silver-white fur shimmered beneath the moonlight with a sacred glow. Each time I ran with it through the royal forest, I felt a freedom and s
Layla's POVI was the Alpha King's long-lost daughter.Years ago, the royal family had been betrayed.A traitor had taken me, a young pup then, from the palace and abandoned me deep in a remote forest.A violent fever caused me to lose my memories. It also pushed my already fragile wolf spirit into a deep slumber.Two weeks ago, my dad, Wilson Knight, finally found me.After spending two weeks in the healer's den, the remaining wolfsbane in my body was finally purged.My dad found a witch and tried all sorts of expensive remedies to heal me.He then awakened the wolf spirit that had been in a deep slumber within me for years.When that silver-white wolf first opened its eyes within my consciousness, I finally understood that I had never been a useless shewolf without a wolf spirit.My wolf had simply been sealed away for too long. It had been so long that I even forgot it existed.After surviving the whole ordeal, I thought I would never see Leo again.Somehow, he learned t
