I was tricked into leaving the pack by Raeya Wargan. She told me the Moonbeam Grass that one of my dads, Aidan Rafe, needed could only be found deep within the forest."If you pick the Moonbeam Grass yourself and give it to him, he'll surely love you again!"I wanted Aidan's love so badly that, even knowing how dangerous the forest was, I followed her without hesitation. But I never expected her hatred for me to run that deep.Using the cross my dad, Maxim Ulfric, had given me, she covered it with silver powder and drove it through my limbs and pierced the last strike straight through my throat. Then, she flung my battered body into a Rogue's den."Loveta Senka, why do our dads love you best?"She held up my cross necklace and grinned wickedly as she continued, "My mom died saving them, so I should be the Cinderhowl pack's most precious little princess! Tell me… Will they still love you if you're tainted?"She yanked me by the collar and threw me into the thicket before the Rogue

When Raeya accused me of scalding her with hot water, Aidan forced my hand into boiling water.When she claimed I'd pricked her with silver needles, he drove them into each of my ten fingers."You're still young, Loveta. I have to teach you with the harshest methods, or you'd end up in a werewolf prison if you stay this way when you're all grown up."I was terrified of him, but this time, I had no choice but to reach out to him.To my surprise, he accepted my mind-link almost immediately. "Why aren't you home this late, Loveta?"His tone was calm, but I could hear the simmering anger underneath.Shuddering, I forced my weak voice to remain steady as I explained, "I'm badly hurt and by the rocky shore near the forest, Aidan. Could you please bring me an antidote and a healing potion?"Like Maxim and Ethan, Aidan fell into the same silence. Despair began to spread inside me.Did he not believe me either? Was I really going to die here?But Aidan didn't refuse. Instead, he gave a

After the coming-of-age ceremony concluded and the celebration moved back to the pack house for the dinner party, Raeya suddenly turned to our three dads and said, "Maxim… Maybe we should cancel the dinner party tonight."Tears slid down her cheeks, and she was full of grievance.Maxim immediately pulled her into his arms in reassurance. "Why cancel it, Raeya? It's your coming-of-age ceremony, so we must host the dinner party.""But… Loveta doesn't seem happy. She told me that if we held the dinner party, she'd go home with the Dawson brothers and not come back tonight."Maxim's expression darkened with fury. "That ingrate! How dare she!"Ethan violently slammed his hand onto the desk and even looked like he was ready to rush out and pick a fight.Raeya quickly stopped him. "This is all my fault. The coming-of-age ceremony must've been too grand, and Loveta must've felt uncomfortable seeing it."She'd expected the three dads to continue berating me, but suddenly, they all fell s

My limbs had been gnawed to pieces. If not for the dress adorned with Moonbeam Stones, which Aidan had bought for me at last month's auction, none of them would have believed that I was the mangled flesh on the ground.Ethan fell to his knees with a heavy thud and clutched the shredded fabric tightly. "No… This isn't Loveta! This can't be her!"His eyes burned red, and the voice coming from his throat broke into small, helpless sobs.Maxim suddenly stepped forward and slammed his fist into Ethan's face. "This is all your fault! She came to you for help last night! Why didn't you believe her? "She said she saw the patrollers! If you hadn't reassigned them, she wouldn't be dead!"His growl cracked with hysteria, and Ethan was hovering on the brink of a breakdown, too. "What about you? Why did you reject her mind-link? If you'd listened to her explanation, she wouldn't have had to face that terrifying Rogue alone!"The two soon became entangled in a fight.Seemingly oblivious to t

The three dads had never raised a pup before. For the first 15 years, they only spoiled me and gave me anything I wanted.Everything changed after they adopted Raeya. The moment they heard I'd picked on her, their first thought wasn't to question the truth of the story, but to doubt their parenting methods."We've treated Loveta too well. She's grown selfish and isn't willing to share with anyone else.""This can't go on, and we can't keep spoiling her. Before she comes of age, we must discipline her."So, they stripped my privileges and gave them to Raeya. In doing so, they fed the hunger they had created."Damn it! How could the lowly daughter of a housekeeper cause the death of our cherished little princess?"Aidan's eyes were wide with fury, but before he could lash out at anyone, a patroller timidly stepped forward."Mr. Rafe, I received your instructions to deliver the potions yesterday, but Ms. Wargan offered to deliver the vials for me and took them away. I thought about
