For nearly two decades, Alaric lived in the silent, cold isolation of his ancestral estate, believing his bloodline had ended when his human wife, Elara, divorced him and vanished into the human realms. He had no reason to suspect she was carrying his child—until the night of the "Great Aurora Convergence"

In the vampire realms, an Aurora Convergence is a rare magical event where the veil between worlds thins. Alaric was standing on his balcony when a sudden, violent pull at his very soul knocked him to his knees. It wasn't a psychic attack; it was a biological resonance. Deep within his marrow, he felt a "spark"—a rhythmic, flickering pulse of magic that mirrored his own, yet felt warmer, wilder, and distinctly wolf-like.

Alaric: "That pulse... it is not the steady beat of a vampire, nor the fleeting flicker of a human. It is the blood of the Night, but it carries the heat of a living sun. How can this be? Elara... what did you take with you into the shadows?"

Alaric immediately sought out the oldest seers in the vampire courts. They performed a ritual using a drop of his blood, which began to glow with a brilliant magenta light—a color that should not exist in a pure vampire lineage. The seers explained that a Lycan birth is a 5% miracle, a rare fusion that occurs when a human mother carries the dormant traits of a powerful supernatural father. They told him his daughter, you was alive, but she was "shrouded in fog and cold."

Alaric: "If she is alive, why do I feel her shivering? Why is her spark so faint? If she is a Lycan of my blood, she should be a queen of the dawn, not a ghost wandering the mists."

Driven by a predatory desperation he hadn't felt in centuries, Alaric spent the next year liquidating his assets and hiring every tracker, shadow-weaver, and inter-dimensional scout in the world. He followed a trail of whispers: a "magenta-haired monster" seen in the human slums, a "lonely pup" who slept in alleyways. Every time he reached a location, she was already gone, having moved on to survive.
