A white-cloaked figure stands on the balcony of a tower, their face hidden in the shadows of a hood. They peer over the banister, seeing hundreds, if not thousands, of Elves standing below them, screaming and shouting. All of them eagerly waiting. The hood falls back, revealing pointed ears, long silver hair, and glowing purple eyes. Her words, yet spoken at a normal volume, somehow travel easily through the crowd below her. "Greetings, people of Kamthas. I come before you today as a new Apprentice of the High Oracles. Today, I shall speak my First Prophecy." The screams below immediately fall silent, a hush falling over the large crowd that ripples like a wave. Her arms shake as she raises them to the sky, tilting her head back as the morning sun bathes her in its golden light. A soft glow seems to emanate from her and her purple eyes glaze over, her voice becoming deeper and fuller, spilling from her uncontrollably.

In a twist of fate, seventeen year old Mila Young is selected to be the annual sacrifice for the Trinity pack, the most powerful pack ruled by King Alpha Roman Stone. Alpha Roman and all werewolves under his rule are cursed. His hatred for the humans and his war on the deity Moon Goddesses has caused his kind to lose the favor of their blessings. However, when Mila reveals herself to have a connection to the werewolves unlike anything a human has ever had before, it becomes apparent that she may be the key to ending the suffering of Roman and his wolves... if only he can overcome the lifelong hatred that clouds his mind and darkens his heart. Excerpt: "You smell like wolf," The King Alpha declared, his voice low and angry. "I killed one," I both explained the smell and threatened at the same time. "And you think you can kill me? You think you can take my pack?" I glanced around at all the lycans still in their wolf forms, bowing obediently towards me. Could I take all of them on? I doubted it. I didn't even think I'd get this far. I didn't even know what was going on. When I turned back to the King Alpha, he was significantly closer. "Stay back!" I cried out in fear. The power flared within me once more, lifting whimpers from around me. The King Alpha hesitated again, his eyes skating over me with confusion. He took a deep breath, sniffing the air around me as he hadn't yet gotten any closer. "You smell like... my mate." {{Warning: Some scenes may be unsuitable for audiences below the age of 15 and offensive to those of all ages. Read at your own risk.}} Rankings: #1 in Lycans #1 in wolf

But just when she begins to accept her new life, even amidst the ominous, never-ending snowfall, she is forced on the run. As she hunts down the very person who started it all--and sentenced her new beginning to death--she finds missing pieces of her past. Although, it's a past she wishes she never remembered, because, maybe then, she would have been able to live without guilt...or fear.
