PrefaceZara Fen POVIn Silvercrest, survival depended on rank.If you were born strong, the pack protected you. If you were useful, mistakes were forgiven. If you were powerful, rules bent quietly in your favor.If you were none of those things, the pack reminded you where you stood.My father was an Alpha warrior. He led patrols, defended borders, and bled for Silvercrest without hesitation. When he died during the Silvercrest Rogue War, the pack honored him for one night. They lit torches. They spoke his name with pride. They promised his sacrifice would never be forgotten.By the next morning, his name was already fading.Whatever protection his position gave me disappeared with him. I was no longer the Alpha’s daughter. I was simply something left behind.My birth mother left before dawn.No one stopped her. No one questioned her. Wolves leave when they sense danger.
