The negotiating rule in the packs was simple. You give what you took.

 The war and animosity between the Nightshade and Moonstone pack have been ongoing for centuries. But this time something drastic happened. The Nightshade pack lost their Luna. To maintain peace in the werewolf world, the council arrived at only one solution, a Luna in exchange for a Luna. And that’s where I got into the picture. 

 Astrid Brooks, 26 years old. A born princess. The only daughter of the 4 children of Moonstone’s Alpha. Married off as a peace offering to none other than Kael Knight, Alpha of Nightshade pack. A replacement to his late wife, his very mate, whose blood has still not dried from the hands of my father. 

From the life of a princess to a mere maid, from light to darkness and from being the most loved person to one detested with crazy passion. I became a mere replacement. And this was just the beginning of my story or should I say suffering.

A Deal with the Alpha Who Hates Me

She bounces her blossoms to approach me, eager to take the cup from my hands. Her eyes are fixated on Kael the entire time. As soon as she holds the cup plate, I retreat.

And the next thing I know, the cup topples over and falls. I extend my hand to grab it, and my fingers brush its brim. The next thing I feel is a searing pain hitting my palms. I pull back, and the cup lands on the floor with a crack.

Only a few splashes fall on her thighs and chest, but she cries as if I've burned her. I immediately move back, pressing my hands behind my back, gulping nervously.

Kael pushes me aside to approach her, and I stare wide-eyed as he takes out a handkerchief and starts dabbing it on her skin.

"Aghh, Kael… it hurts… ahhh."

He turns around to look at me, and I see pure fury burning in his eyes. His fists clench as he literally roars at me.
