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.
Iris has had a difficult life, running from her past and living like a nomad. She is not a regular wolf. She curses the Moon goddess for the gifts she possesses. The ability to heal others. At least that is what she tells herself and her best friend Aria. she wants nothing to do with being a wolf. She barely shifts, does not believe in mates, and hates everything that has to do with packs. And she shows her disregard. With a foul mouth and attitude to match, she is always landing herself and her traveling companion, Aria, in trouble. Until one day she runs into a pack of ancient wolves, rumored to be extinct. The first wolves made by the Moon goddess, and finds out the Alpha of the pack is her mate.
And of course, she wants nothing to do with him, and he wants everything to do with her. But He is not one to be toyed with, brutal and heartless( and that's just being modest). He refuses to let her disrespect him and will go to any extent to ensure she submits to his every will. Thankfully, she can't die.
But a war is coming, and it's out of this world. Malik and Iris are the only ones that can stop it, and they don't know it yet. Will they be able to push their differences away and let the Moon goddess finish what she started, or will they be to pig-headed and stubborn to fall in love?
