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

Kael pulls on Bolt's reins, trying to stop him, but this only aggravates him more. He leans lower to whisper something in his ear, but the animal is blinded. Neighing and lifting its front two legs, Bolt roars, and Kael tightly clutches the cantle to stop himself from falling. He barely escapes tumbling to the ground.

"Your Highness!" The men rush toward him, only to step back when Bolt starts running in circles like a banshee. Kael is barely holding on.

The men try everything—ropes, voices, sticks—but Bolt is oblivious, not giving a damn about anyone. He doesn't care if he steps over someone or kills them.

I stand there, frozen in place, watching everyone run around, screaming and shouting. The next thing I know, Bolt is charging toward me at full speed. His wild eyes stare at me, searching for calm, but I only offer more fear.
