Sage is a young silver wolf who grew up as an orphaned Omega. At a young age she awakened a powerful wolf, a silver wolf which was considered to be ominous. To survive, she hid her identity from everyone. At sixteen she was unexpectedly found by her family who revealed that she was the biological daughter of the Alpha King and the true princess of their pack. She returned home only to find there's no place for her. In her absence she had been replaced with another girl, Eleanor who had been the princess for the last sixteen years, receiving everything that should have been hers. Replaced by Eleanor, Sage struggled to earn her family's love but instead became the scapegoat. Forced to marry Aegon, the feared Lycan prince of an enemy nation in place of Eleanor, Sage sought escape and revenge against her parent for giving her away. Unknown to her, Alpha Knox, Aegon's uncle is her true mate but he refuses to tell her since she's to be wed to his nephew. On a full moon, Knox accidentally bites Sage, marking her and entwining all three of them in a love triangle.

I, Princess Sage of Moonclaw pack, sever all ties with the pack,” I declared sternly, facing all three of them. It was over. I wasn't going to take anymore of this from any of them again.
I took off my crown and tossed it at Eleanor. “You can keep it.”
Thirty minutes ago
It happened so fast. In a blink of an eye Eleanor threw herself down the staircase. What the fuck! I watched her body tumble down the stairs in a flurry of arms and legs.
"AHHHHHHHH!" She screamed her way down, hitting the ground with a loud thud.
In seconds, Regan and Alistair barged into the living room, and their gaze widened when they saw her on the floor.
“Eleanor!” They yelled, rushing across the room hastily. “Are you okay?” Alistair helped her up while Regan fussed over her to check if she had gotten hurt anywhere.
“What happened to you?” Regan asked her and I turned to leave. I barely took two steps when her next three words made me halt in my tracks.
“She pushed me,” she replied.
Wait, what?
I swirled my head in their direction so fast I almost fell. They were looking up at me, and Eleanor was pointing her finger to me, “Sage pushed me.”
There was a fiery glint in her eyes as my gaze met hers, “She hates me," she sobbed, her voice trembling with each word, “She thinks I'm trying to usurp her place as the princess, and now she's trying to kill me.”
“What?” Regan's eyes flashed red with anger, and Alistair's face darkened in sync. Without another word, the two of them stormed upstairs.
I wasn't shocked or even slightly fazed by this. I was used to this—my beta brothers sticking up for their foster sister and not me, but that didn't mean it still didn't annoy me, especially since they were treating me like an intruder.
“Sage! How dare you harm my sister?” Regan barked and Alistair stood behind him glaring at me.
His sister? I frowned. If she was their sister what exactly did that make me? When will they ever acknowledge me or stand up for me? I'm not some stranger here! I wanted to shout.
“Your sister?” I echoed with a frown. “I'm your biological sister, Regan! And no, I didn't touch her. She's lying!”
“Don't you dare lie to us!” Alistair yelled, stepping forward, and I instinctively stepped back, “And don't you ever refer to yourself as our sister again. I do not regard you as that,” he spat bitterly.
I swallowed hard, feeling a slight tremble in my hand as I clenched it to a fist. “I'm not lying, Alistair. I didn't touch her—”
“SHUT UP! You liar!” He cut me off, “If you didn't touch her. How do you explain her falling down the stairs?”
“Why don't you ask her? I didn't touch her! I swear on the moon goddess!”
“Your swearing doesn't count, you are an abomination. The moon goddess?” He scoffed, lowering his gaze to the collar around my neck. He eyed me with disdain, “Don't make me laugh.”
The stairs creaked as Eleanor climbed up, walking towards us with tears streaming down her face. It was all an act. I knew it and I just wished they could see it too.
“For what you did, Sage. You're going to kneel and apologize to Eleanor,” Alastair said as Eleanor joined us upstairs.
“What??” I blurted, “I told you I didn't touch her.”
“And I told you to stop lying,” Alistair spoke again.
“I can prove it. I can prove that I didn't touch her at all,” I said, and I could have sworn I saw a hint of shock flash on Eleanor’s face but she swallowed it down. “Really? And how do you intend to do that?”
“The cameras,” I replied, pointing to the CCTV cameras at the corner of the room, “Why don't we check it, and see what really happened?”
I led the way to the security room, and they followed me. “Can you please show my brothers the footage from the staircase?" I asked the security man when I walked in, and he nodded.
He rewinded the footage, and played it, “Zoom in,” I grinned and the man did, showing a clear image of Eleanor as she threw herself down the staircase.
I spun around, facing my brothers with a confident smile, “I told you—”
Eleanor bursted into tears instantly, “I’m sorry,” she trembled as tears rolled down her cheeks, “She said I wasn't the real one, and it hurt because she's right. She's the long lost princess and I'm just the foster daughter, the Queen took in when she lost Sage…”
“Hey, hey, hey,” Alastair hushed, pulling her into his arms, “It's okay. I understand,” he embraced her warmly, and my jaw dropped. He didn't just believe her crocodile tears, did he?
This wasn't how it was meant to go. I stepped forward, “Alistair—”
He shot me a look, “What?”
“She was lying. I just proved that—”
“So??” Regan interrupted, “You want a fucking accolades for that? You're the reason she almost killed herself, Sage. You should be apologizing for that.”
“What?” I blurted, shocked by his words. That was absurd.
“You heard me,” he said, “This is all because of you.”
I clenched my fist tightly. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. “She threw herself downstairs, Regan. She's nuts! How can you blame me for that—?”
“How can he not?” Alistair interrupted, “And don't you ever call her nuts. You're nuts!”
I recoiled, rage boiling inside of me. I felt so helpless and it was sickening. How could this happen? I showed them proof so how could they turn a blind eye to it? My visions began to blur as tears welled in my eyes. I blinked them away, refusing to waste my tears on any of them.
It wasn't worth it. They weren't worth it but shit! It hurts like hell. My eyes burned as tears threatened to fall.
Alistair continued, “Eleanor would have never felt the need to throw herself down the stairs if you hadn't made her feel so out of place here.”
I stared at him in disbelief. “I made her feel out of place?” I echoed, cocking my brows. Was he kidding? I was the one out of place here. Me!
Eleanor had always had a place here since she was a kid. She had owned everything that was mine in my absence for sixteen years.
While I had spent those years scavenging for food in the wild, hiding, and now even though I was right here. She was still living my life, she was still Princess Eleanor of Moonclaw pack while I was the outsider wearing the crown.
I choked back the tears, “Can you hear yourself right now? I'm the one out of place in my own home! This is my home!” I yelled and Regan grabbed me pushing me against the wall.
“Watch your tongue, Sage! We don't want you here. We never have, and we never will,” Regan released me, and they all shuffled out of the room.
Eleanor looked back at me as they headed out with a victorious smile on her face that burned through me. I had lost again, and this time it stung more than ever. I always thought Alistair and Regan would one day come to accept me.
They were my brothers, their affection was something I didn't think I'd have to work so hard for. This was too hard. I slid my back down the wall until I was seated on the ground.
I brought a hand to the collar around my neck. I clutch it tightly, shutting my eyes as tears rolled down my cheeks.
Eight years. I had done everything I could just to be accepted, and loved by them, including wearing this darn collar that suppressed my wolf, Silver.
Silver wolves were one of the rarest forms for a werewolf in our clan. There hadn't been one for over a century since the last one which nearly destroyed the entire clan. Since then, having a silver wolf was seen as a curse, and a harbinger of evil which is why I was nothing more than an abomination to my clan.
Growing up in the wild, and discovering my wolf I had quickly picked up that I had to hide my true identity, pretending to be wolf less instead because If I was ever discovered. I would be killed like all the previous ones. It was the law.
When my family finally found me, they didn't know the kind of wolf I had unlocked, but once they did they put a collar on me to keep my form a secret from everyone else, not for my benefit but for theirs.
When a silver wolf is found in the pack, the family is usually banished for producing the abomination, and my parents couldn't afford that fate.
Imagine what would happen to my father, the Alpha King and the Luna if everyone found out the princess was a silver wolf. It would be the most dreadful thing, and my father would surely lose his position as the Alpha in the pack which meant everything to him.
They couldn't afford that. My appearance suddenly became a threat to everything they had built and they all hated me for it. It broke my heart, all I wanted in the world was their love and acceptance but I could never get it.
I tightened my fist. Enough was enough. I give up. I could no longer try. I wasn't going to live like this anymore.
I wiped my tears, and rose to my feet, heading out of the room with determination. I wasn't going to settle anymore. The rage simmered inside of me as I stormed downstairs.
“What do you want now?” Regan asked as I came before them.
Without a word I gripped the collar around my neck and ripped it from my neck, tossing it to the ground.
“What do you think you're doing?” Regan questioned, jumping to his feet. “You're not allowed to take that off.”
I ignored him, fixing my gaze on Alistair, “I, Princess Sage of Moonclaw pack, sever all ties with the pack from today.”
I took off my crown and tossed it at Eleanor. “You can keep it—Princess,” I said, mockingly.
KNOX**Months laterI woke up to the loud cry of a woman. The voice would be familiar if I had heard Sage cry a lot. But this was worse than I could ever imagine. Sitting up on the bed, I looked at Sage who was seated with her hand rubbing on her stomach. “I think the child is on its way.” “What?!” Jumping off the bed, I rushed to the door and opened it, sighting Brian who rushed in on command. “Aella!” At the top of my voice, I also shouted. Rushing back to the room, Sage was helped on her feet by Brian who had all the strength. Joining strength with the man, we managed to take Sage to the door and it was at this point that Aella showed up, confused. In her night dress. “My lady?!” She cried, rushing to our side but there was nothing she could do, especially when two hefty men were in charge of the current situation. Then, I ordered. “Get her clothes. The baby's and every other necessary thing while you join us at the center.” “Argh!” The shout of Sage and her hand digging i
SAGEMoonclaw Pack? Did I hear the man correctly? “Moonclaw Pack?” I walked towards the door and out of the room. The next time I turned around, Alpha Knox walked behind me. There was a look on his countenance and it looked like anger more than the normal him. Together, we caught up with the entrance of the living room and walked out with anger on my countenance. I knew already that it was the people I once lived with, but what did they want from me? “Good day, Luna of The Darkfangs Pack.” Did that—was that greeting for me? I looked around in shock, not believing my eyes and ears. What did I just hear? I looked at my brothers who had smiles on their faces, wondering also what was funny and why they smiled. “Good day to you—” I let out after some time. “Good day, Alpha Knox.” My husband walked forward. There was a smile on his countenance but I could tell that it was fake. How could it not be? “What can I do for you today, my in-laws?” The old Alpha walked closer. He bowe
SAGE Days after Aegon was buried, the coronation ceremony came to life and everyone in the Pack ran around. With a smile on my countenance, I looked in the mirror at how good I looked—nodding in satisfaction with my heart that looked forward to the ceremony. Everywhere in the compound looked set. I was ready. I could feel it inside of me. What more could I ask for? The smile faded when thoughts of Aegon came running in my head but I pushed it away the next moment, smiling once again with my heart that looked forward to the ceremony. “You're beautiful in your outfit, my lady.” “Thank you.” I turned to look at the maid who did a good job of getting me ready. “Can we leave already?” “Yes—” the maid mouthed. She got off the bed and took hold of my garment from behind. Something Aella should be doing but I struggled so hard to not think about a woman who had done nothing but betray me. She did what she had to do, after all. The Alpha will need to be spoken to as
KNOXSage nodded. “I'm ready, Knox.”Taking back her hand in mine, I led her out of the chamber. Through the hallway, we went—with Brian who walked behind me all this while. My guard who never would let me down. It didn't take long to get down the stairs. So many thoughts ran around in my head but I let it be because, at the end of the day, everything would play right. Either right or wrong. “Gather the wolves, Brian. You may leave now. I'm sure the angry wolves cannot do anything to me and the woman. But if they choose to be violent, then we shall have it.” There was no need to play nice any longer. Not when I could turn into a wolf and deal with them. Catching up with the compound of the main pack, I felt something—someone squeeze my hand. “Easy, my lady—” I looked at the woman. “I'm sorry, my lord. Forgive my actions.” Sage looked up at me and then at the wolves who looked so much in her direction while they gathered in front of me. “Where are all the wolves?” More wolves
SAGE I shouldn't have returned to the pack with Knox, but I didn't have a choice because, at that point, the man was not going to let me be on my own, and talk more about finding my way. “You're going back to The pack with me and nothing is going to change that—” In a commanding tone I could not refuse, Knox picked up Aegon's lifeless body on the floor. This was a moment I had refused to believe was real but I didn't have a choice because it played right in front of me. Another reason I could not refuse to go back to the pack with Knox. I didn't want to die, even though it seemed otherwise all these while. A sigh ran out of my mouth and my mouth opened in more tears—while I walked behind Knox who was ahead of me with the lifeless body. How much longer before we arrived at the pack? I was tired. Tired of everything, especially walking such a distance with so many bags to carry along even though it was just one and there was Knox who took everything up in his arms. When does it get
KNOXHow could I explain this to him? “Did you say a woman I have been married to since all these while is your mate, Uncle?” I nodded, ashamed but what choice did I have? “She's your mate. You've known from the onset.” I looked at Sage who had it clear on her face that she was scared. But I shifted closer to her so that she could feel nothing but safety while Aegon remained in his feelings. “Aegon—” I then called. “You need to calm down and listen to me. I didn't mean to hurt you.” “I didn't say you did—” he chuckled, standing on his feet. “I'll need some time to take in this news so you must give me some—” he walked away and was out of our sight. The next time we set eyes on Aegon, it was moments later when he walked back into the scene so that he could take his flask and with this, the man was gone from our sight again. “He hates us—” Sage cried. “I can see it.” “You don't know what you're talking about—” I cried. “He's my nephew and a good man at that. Aegon cannot bring hi
SAGEI didn't know what to feel like. Especially seeing Aegon who I should be avoiding. There was shock on the countenance of Knox who didn't expect Aegon of all the people in the Pack to say that. But what choice did the Alpha have? “I'll go with you if Knox doesn't.” “I didn't say I wouldn't go—” Knox mouthed. He looked away from me and met the gaze of Aegon who watched with thoughts that surely were running around his head. “Aegon, you don't have to do this. The members might come for you if they find out it's you who helped us.” “I got tired of living a long time ago—” Aegon looked at me and then his uncle. “We'll leave in a short while. For now, I need to get a few things ready because it might be a long journey and you don't want to know how long.”The sound of ‘long’ scared me more than anything. What was the man talking about? “I don't care how long it is—” I interrupted everyone's thoughts. “Myself and Knox will be here.” He nodded, faced the door, and came out of my
KNOXI relaxed on the bed, my eyes shut as I rested from everything that happened the day before. Suddenly, a hand hit me from behind. Or even in front of me. “Open your eyes, Knox. Can't you see?!” At the top of her voice, a woman shouted like never before. Forced to open my eyes, I looked around the space as I tried so hard to read the room so that I could understand what was happening. That was when the voices of wolves—angry wolves filled my ears. “Give Her To Us!” “Can you hear that?” An already crying Sage mouthed. Letting go of me, the woman reached the end of the room before turning back around to look at me—her eyes teary. “I don't know what I'm supposed to do—can't you see they want me given to them?” I still didn't understand because there was so much sleep in my eyes and I didn't know what to do and how to do it. Rather, I was on my feet and reaching the other end of the chamber so that I could pay attention to what was going on but how could I? More sleep filled my
SAGEWhat he was saying didn't make any sense, but I wanted to hear more of it. “What did you say, Knox? And how do you mean?” “Isn't it simple?” He adjusted on the couch but I wondered how I was supposed to know. “You being a Silver Wolf is a good thing for this pack. The members don't see it.” “You're confusing me. I don't understand you.” Again, the Alpha adjusted on the couch. A sigh ran out of his mouth and he let out. “I don't think we should talk about it yet, Sage. Give me some time to process my thoughts. Do you need something?” Why did he act that way? It was my turn to let out a sigh. Even though I wanted to hear the man talk to me about how a Silver Wolf could be of help to him and the Pack, I wished I could not listen to him say it. “Hello, Sage. Did you at least hear me?” I nodded and shook my head. “Forgive me, Alpha Knox. But I heard you. I'm just too overwhelmed by a lot to recall what you said a while ago. Can you remind me?” The man got up. He walked to
