MasukElsie Willow is not the dainty girl everyone expects her to be. As the daughter of the pack's head warrior, she grew up around brawling and combat. She didn't just learn to fight; she fell in love with it and became the best in her pack. However, because she is the youngest and only girl, her family pampers and protects her. Her life takes a turn for the worse when she is chosen to be the mate of the Alpha’s arrogant son. Elsie refuses to accept a life of submission. When a call for new warriors arrives from the Iron Hold, she sees a chance to escape. She cuts her hair, binds her chest, and masks her scent to join the conscription in secret. In the brutal environment of the Iron Hold, Elsie’s skills shine. Her success eventually brings her face to face with the powerful Lycan King. As war approaches, the King finds himself relying on Elsie’s sharp mind and fighting spirit. In the heat of battle and growing danger, an unexpected bond begins to form between the King and his fearless warrior.

The torches were flickering softly, throwing long shadows across the space. The Lycan King was standing by his desk, clearing off various maps and loose parchment sheets.He didn't look up immediately as I approached, his hands moving efficiently. "You came at a good time," he said, his tone flat. "You should be resting, but just quickly pack these remaining files up into the trunk.""Yes, Your Majesty," I replied with a rasp in my voice. I quickly stepped forward to do what he had asked, gathering the scrolls and stacking them neatly inside the iron-bound chest in the corner. When I finally finished the task, I wiped a small bead of sweat from my forehead and turned around to look for him.He was sitting on the edge of his cot, idly fiddling with the laces of a boot."I have finished clearing the desk, Your Majes
Elsie's POV The head healer paused, holding a jar of dried leaves in her hands, before she slowly shook her head. "No," she said, her voice dropping into a quiet tone. "I am not going to tell him. I know what it feels like to wish to do something with your life, and not be able to do it simply because of a circumstance you cannot help."I blinked at her, the fear in my chest loosening just a fraction. "Really?"The woman hummed in confirmation, setting the jar down on a wooden shelf. "I worked as a servant in the royal palace back at the capital for years. I basically helped raise the children of the royal family, but what I really wanted to do since I was a young girl was practice medicine. I could not pursue it back then because people of my low social status would never be accepted by any master healer to be trained."I shifted on the cot, listening closely to the crackle of the stove. "So, how are you a master healer now?"She turned to face me, a soft smile touching her aged lip
Elsie's POV Turns out that our worst fears during dinner were valid. Out of the fifty-two men in our team four, just those two guys who had raised their hands in the mess tent actually knew how to swim well. Well, it was fine in the end because they only asked each team to present three divers for the event. Since we were short on options, I didn't have much of a choice. I would have to join them in the freezing current.We entered the rushing stream with the safety ropes tied tightly around our waists. Back home, I always enjoyed swimming in the warm pack lakes, but this task was on a completely different level. The water was freezing, numbing my skin instantly, and the dark night made it so I could barely even see a foot in front of my face.The two guys from my team and I had to work together to find our assigned dark green stones on the riverbed. We couldn't do it blindly. I motioned for us to link arms for a split second to establish our spacing, and then we fanned out in a syn

Elsie's POV An unknown cracking sound outside the tent jolted me awake, and I immediately realized my error.I had slept for far too long.I hurriedly shoved my feet into my leather shoes, barely tying the laces, and ran outside into the cool air. A quick glance at the sky confirmed my worst fears
