The Great Escape
When I was a child, I wandered from place to place, and the beatings and abuse from cruel people left me permanently deaf.
Because of that, I was always on guard around strangers, never opening my heart to anyone.
When I turned 18, the Moon Goddess revealed that Eric and I were fated to be mates. That very day, Eric fell in love with me at first sight.
"I don't think someone like me is worthy of marrying the Alpha of the Kalmoor Pack."
No matter how many times he confessed to me, I rejected him every time.
Then, an earthquake struck, and he shielded me with his body without hesitation. Even as falling rocks hit him in the head, he never let go of his protective embrace.
