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

I tried to work, but her thoughts kept invading my mind. 'Why did he save me? Will these scars ever fade away?' Dom was just being nice. He said I was still beautiful to cheer me up, but I know the truth... I don't even want to look into the mirror.

'Dammit! When will she stop these episodes of belittling herself? It's just a scar.' Pushing back the chair, I sprang up and walked to my room. I had asked them to relocate her to my room—it was the safest place I could think of for her until that bastard gets caught.

As soon as I pushed open the door, my heart thudded in my chest, and I went still for a second. She was staring at herself in the mirror, her trembling fingers tracing her scar, with big, fat tears falling down her eyes. She caught my reflection in the mirror and turned around, rubbing her face on her shoulder—a desperate attempt to hide her tears. Her eyes looked at anything except mine.

"What… what are you doing here?" she quivered.
