Three days after I died, my fiancé got a call to ID the body. He just scoffed. "She's dead, so what? Call me when she's in the ground." The cops, out of options, hit up my backup contact—my childhood friend. He actually laughed. "She's really gone? Not my problem. Burn her or whatever." Then my body hit the internet— And suddenly, both of them looked like ghosts.

What would you say if I told you one of the community's strongest packs were wiped out in a night with no trace of the killer? You'd probably think I was crazy, I was mad. Right? Well, that's what happened to the pack of Eliza Scott who was only 11 when her family and friends were slaughtered in their sleep. And because she was the soul survivor, no one wanted anything to do with the girl who had been cursed by the moon. She already had an unusual hair color for any wolf, but what happens when someone gets all too close? I mean, once one finds their mate, that's it, right? You love them for all eternity and they stay by your side. Not for her. That is until she meets a mysterious stranger who is way to curious about her for his own good. Can she turn him away? Or will she let him wander into her circle of trust and eventually her heart?

Years passed, the Academy went well. A war that happened five years ago that was forgotten. No one remembers except the Royal Families. Five years have passed, the said princess of the prophecy was never been found. The last magus user of the forgotten Empire in Azaleus, the Zaffiro Empire. The Magic Realm went well but not the other Realm. The Astral Realm, where werewolves exist. In Magic Realm, werewolves are just a myth, it doesn't exist. A myth that everyone knows. Until it happened. Sa kabilang panig ng mundo, nagkakagulo ang mga mamayanan ng Amavasya. Ang Amavasya ang lugar kung saan naninirahan ang mga lobo sa mundo ng Astral. Sa kabilang panig naman ay ang mga itim na mangkukulam ang naninirahan sa lugar ng Hexe. Mainit ang dugo sa bawat panig na naninirahan sa mundo ng Astral. Matagal ng gustong makamit ng mga sorcière ang buong Astral ngunit pilit na nilalaban sila ng mga Lykos. Naging sakim ang mga sorciere lalo na noong nalaman nila ang naka saad sa propesiya na may isang sanggol na may dugong bampira at lobo ang mag hahari sa buong Astral na walang sino mang nilalang ang makakahigit doon. Isang balita na nagdulot sa mga sorciere upang patayin ang mga bagong silang na sanggol. Hindi naniniwala ang mga Lykos sa nasabing propesiya dahil alam nilang hindi totoo ang mga mga bampira, kung totoo man ito alam nilang nasa ibang dimensyon ito at malabo na makapasok sa kanilang mundo. Ngunit nag bago ang lahat ng malaman nilang isang bampira ang binigay ng Diyos ng Buwan na maging kabiyak ng kanilang Alpha. Isang bampira na may dugong bughaw. Pero imbis na itakwil nila ito, tinanggap nila ito ng buong puso at pinangakuang poprotektahan nila ito hanggang sa huling hininga. Ang bampirang lobo sa mundo ng Astral.

Amara Drivas was treated as an outcast by the Crimson moon pack. It's been sixteen years of slavery and humiliation that she endured, thinking it was the right thing to do; to be grateful knowing that she—a half-human and a half-werewolf—was accepted to live with the pack after her human mother died when she gave birth of her. She felt indebted towards the pack to whom her father was loyal, so even though the place turned out to be like hell for her, she obeyed the Alpha and the full bloods. But as she grew older, she found herself questioning the apparent inequality and unjust rules of the higher ranks, including the Alpha. The night before her seventeenth birthday, a tragedy happened before her eyes. Her father Argus Drivas and the love of her life Killan Montreal, who did nothing but obey the Alpha,were killed by the warrior wolves. Amara's wrath was kindled. All her life, she thought that shifting into a wolf would be impossible—as most werewolves in the pack have concluded that she was a cursed child, a punishment by the Moon goddess to her parents—but at that unexpected moment, she transformed into a dangerous wolf. She never felt so powerful until that night she transformed. Rage and vengeance overpowered her that killing became so easy. She killed the warrior wolves in their house and then escaped to a faraway land where werewolves couldn't enter— in Drysdale, the territory of humans. As she lived in that place, she learned new things that Amara, herself, did not even realize during her stay in the Crimson moon pack for so many years. A realization that she wasn't cursed and the power that has given her by the Moon goddess turned out to be a wonderful blessing. What else would she figure out?

The day my brother, Chester Rodney, came to the orphanage to take me home, my boyfriend Dominic Huxley looked at me coldly and said, "If you choose to acknowledge your birth family, we're over." I knew he had his pride—he could never accept the difference in our social standing. So, for him, I turned my back on the family I had yearned for my whole life. In the decades that followed, I toiled without complaint, saving every cent to help him rise to success. By the time I was not yet fifty, overwork had worn me down. Lying on my deathbed, my breathing shallow and weak, I watched Dominic on television. He was now an acclaimed scientist, just awarded the nation's highest research honor. Tears welled in his eyes as he thanked another woman. "All these years," he said, "I never felt worthy of Alicia. But now, maybe I can use this award as the prologue to a love I've owed her for decades." The "Alicia" he spoke of was the woman mistakenly switched with me at birth—the false heiress the Rodney family raised as their own. The camera zoomed out. Alicia Rodney stood radiant, graceful, and perfectly preserved by years of luxury, blushing as she accepted the trophy. "I waited for you for decades," she said sweetly, "but marriage is still something I'll need to ask my brother about." Chester, who had long taken over the family, looked at her with an indulgent tenderness tinged with something unspoken. "I was adopted by our uncle back then for one reason—to protect Alicia. Making the only princess of the Rodney family happy has always been my life's mission." Only then did I realize—everything I thought I had chosen freely, every sacrifice I made without regret, was nothing but a trap, carefully woven by two men, all for Alicia. The betrayal pierced my heart. I died without peace. But when I opened my eyes again, I was back on the very day Chester came to take me home from the orphanage. I glanced past the two men eyeing me with subtle disdain. Without hesitation, I stepped into the car. "Take me home," I said. This time, I'd send whoever stole my life back to the gutter they slithered from.
