I lay in the bath, eyes closed, finally relaxing after a stressful day. As an orphan, with no family to speak of, I often felt unlucky—my parents had died on my birthday, November 13th, Friday. People avoided me, whispering about my cursed date, until a voice pierced my thoughts.

“Server Transfer completed.”

Suddenly, I felt as if I were drowning. I found myself submerged in a lake, surrounded by dense jungle. Completely naked and unable to swim, panic set in. I flailed my arms and then caught sight of strong, pale legs. The last thing I wanted to see made my struggle worse.

In an instant, I was lifted from the water by a towering figure. He had long white hair, piercing blue eyes, and a calm demeanor.

“What is a little female like you doing out here alone? Where is your mate?”

Little did I know, this man was a white tiger—a king and that I was going to meet a wolf, and a snake later on.
