As sanction for your atrocities
I grant you this, a curse and prophecy
The form of lupus, you shall take
Tears of anguish lie in wake
To break the endless agony
Requires a simple act, not of gallantry
The night of lunar bloodied zenith,
Be prepared, you ghastly behemoth
To spill the blood of a virgin maiden
Who's heart is pure and tough and brazen
When the pooling red taints the lands
The curse shalt be lifted from your hands
And the sylvan woodlands that you roam
Shall be rendered empty, cold, alone

It's no secret that the village Cassandra Anne resides in has a long standing animosity towards wolves. The neighboring packs were driven out of their homelands to the brink of extinction. For all of her life, Cassandra was taught to be indifferent towards the beasts, but that all changes when Cassandra stumbles upon a wolf in the forest. She's drawn to the creature, to its beauty, its elegance. And the wolf is drawn to her as well.
Lune's village had brutality massacred a whole pack of wolves, enraging a powerful witch. She cursed all who lived in the village to become the beasts they had slain, leaving a prophecy, a way to break the spell, as a parting gift. Now, decades later, Lune encounters a girl in the shallows of the woods. She's special, Lune realizes, for it seems that the girl's blood might just be the cure to their curse.
People say that fate is never kind to those who love deeply. I learnt that the day I met the monster everyone feared the Alpha King of Lunaris, Zale Luther Blackthorn.
He is cruel to the world, without mercy. A story was whispered with trembling lips.
He is the storm that shattered everything I thought I knew about love, loyalty, and fate.
I was just the daughter of the Beta of the Moonveil Pack. I was a healer, a fighter, and someone who believed that even the darkest soul could be healed by light. But when my pack was dragged into a war we didn't start, the man they call the "Beast of the North" took me prisoner.
His red eyes promised destruction, and he was cold and cruel. But I saw something else behind that darkness. A heart that is broken. A curse made by pain. And even though I promised to hate him, fate had other plans.
I'm now stuck between duty and desire, danger and temptation.
I realise the truth more and more as I fight him: I wasn't meant to escape the Alpha King.
I was fated to him.
