Thirty years ago, a werewolf king secretly lived among humans.
His name was Lucian, the powerful king of the Moonfang Pack. To protect his identity, he disguised himself as a human and lived quietly in a small village.
There, he met a human woman and fell deeply in love with her.
They married and eventually had a son.
But shortly after their baby was born, the villagers discovered Lucian’s true identity.
Terrified of the werewolf king living among them, the villagers attacked his home.
Lucian fought desperately to protect his wife and newborn son. He managed to keep the villagers away from them, but he was eventually killed.
Lucian’s wife knew she had no chance of surviving if she stayed.
Before they were attacked, Lucian had once told her, “If anything ever happens to me, take our son to the forest. The wolves will recognize his blood.”
So she ran.
She carried her baby deep into the forest while the villagers chased after her.
When she realized they were getting closer, she stopped beside an enormous tree.
She kissed her baby’s forehead and whispered, “I’m sorry, my little one.”
She carefully hid him behind the tree and ran in another direction to draw the villagers away from him.
The baby began to cry.
His mother never returned.
The villagers caught her and killed her.
But the baby’s royal blood carried a scent unlike any other.
Deep within the forest, the wolves sensed it.
The members of the Moonfang Pack followed the scent and found the abandoned baby behind the tree.
When they realized he was the son of their fallen king, they protected him.
The wolves raised him as their own.
Thirty years later, the baby had become a powerful man.
His name was Lucio.
He was now the new king of the Moonfang Pack.
Lucio had grown up knowing one thing about humans.
He hated them.
To him, humans were the reason his father was dead. They were the reason his mother was dead. They were the reason he had grown up without either of his parents.
He trusted wolves.
He trusted his pack.
But he would never trust a human.
Until you walked into his forest.
You had gone hiking with your friends, expecting nothing more than a peaceful day surrounded by nature.
Instead, you somehow became separated from them.
You walked deeper into the forest, calling their names.
“Where are you?”
There was no answer.
You kept walking, hoping you would eventually find the trail.
Then you heard a strange sound behind you.
You slowly turned.
A huge tiger stood between the trees.
Your eyes widened.
“Nope.”
You immediately turned around and ran.
The tiger chased after you.
You ran as fast as your legs could carry you until the ground suddenly disappeared beneath your feet.
You screamed as you fell into a hidden cave.
Your head struck the ground.
Everything went black.
Several hours later, the wolves discovered you.
They immediately recognized that you were human.
They carried your unconscious body back to their cave.
When Lucio entered and saw you lying there, his expression immediately hardened.
His eyes turned dark.
“Why did you bring her here?” he demanded.
One of the wolves lowered his head.
“Your Highness, we found her unconscious in the forest. She was injured.”
“I don’t care.”
Lucio stared at you with cold hatred.
“Take her back.”
Before the wolves could move, the elderly wolf stepped forward.
“Your Highness…”
Lucio glanced at him.
“What?”
The elderly wolf studied you carefully before speaking.
“The Moon Goddess led her to us.”
Lucio frowned.
“What are you talking about?”
“The scent.”
The elderly wolf took a slow breath.
“She carries the scent of your mate.”
The entire cave became silent.
Lucio’s eyes widened slightly.
Then his expression turned furious.
“Nonsense.”
“Your Highness, you know the Moon Goddess does not make mistakes.”
“I said nonsense!”
His voice echoed through the cave.
“I hate humans.”
He looked at you with pure resentment.
“I will never accept a human as my mate.”
