Anurak, shy and introverted, and Arisara, feisty and destined to be Luna, are opposite personalities, yet complementary best friends growing up in ancient Thailand's most powerful pack. Everything changes when Anurak's parents are executed by Arisara's father, the Alpha, forcing him to flee into a deadly jungle where he is assumed to have died.

However, four years later, a note from Anurak himself arrives to the Alpha announcing he's alive and is returning with an ultimatum. The news sends shockwaves through the kingdom and causes the Alpha to die of heart failure. When Anurak arrives, he is faced with new leadership: his childhood friend and newly appointed Luna, Arisara, and her abusive husband whom she is contractually married to. Upon his arrival, Luna Arisara feels her mate bond pull to Anurak, now a part of an enemy pack, and has to decide between her fated mate or her kingdom.

Once Upon a Time in Siam

“Pull yourself together, Anu. You can’t show such weakness. It’s pathetic. You almost allowed your friend to die,” Muwang scolded abrasively.


“I-I know,” was all I could muster, partially unable to accept my incompetence to defend someone so precious to me. I fled the kingdom leaving my parents to die years ago, and I nearly left Arisara in a similar predicament, if my Luna hadn’t mustered enough strength to interfere.


“This isn’t about taking the high ground, or acting morally virtuous. This is life and death, and you’re playing with a pack that doesn’t value the former. If you want to weep and waffle around in pity, be my guest, but don’t expect me to help you the next time someone needs saving.” Muwang’s tone had considerably shifted from sarcastic to disparaging. I felt the utter shame in his tone; I didn’t deserve to be a shifter.
