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

It's a small word compared to what I feel for him.

I thought he was cold and stoic before, but now I believe it. The man's chest is hollow. He is heartless.

Bolt's teary eyes invaded my dreams. I couldn't sleep. Some nights I spent in his grace, weeping, begging forgiveness for not being able to save him. The maids called me crazy… they said he was just a domesticated horse. That I was overreacting just to draw attention. But they would never understand.

Animals aren't things. They are living beings, just like us. They feel everything that we do: care, love, pain. Bolt was like my best friend—a companion who listened to all my worries with his undivided attention. His soft brown coat, now stained with blood, used to give me warmth on cold days. He had a special place in my heart… and Kael just murdered him without blinking an eye. In a few seconds, he took his life—just because he couldn't control him?
