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.

Oh, Goddess. I took a deep breath, sat down on the corner of the bed, and dragged my hands down my face. This situation is far more complicated than I was anticipating. I thought I was about to hear how Astrid was bullied and beaten. That alone would have been enough to upset me, but hearing that the Moon Goddess mated Astrid to Kael?


Alpha Randall and I were good friends for years, and I was around when Astrid's sister, Stephanie, died. In fact, I attended Stephanie's first memorial service. I had been planning to be at the West Mountain Pack anyway to celebrate Astrid's 14th birthday.
