Will Autumn prove her worth and survive in the Lycan kingdom, or will she fall prey to the beast who refuses to love?

She flaunted her relationship publicly, making everyone in Junopia know that Rick had left the monastery for her. On the other hand, I kept silent about my relationship with the heir of the Wilson Family. Thus, everyone mistakenly thought I was single. That was until my best friend saw my pregnancy report.
