Prologue

SEVENTH MONTH OF YEAR 992. DAHLIA: “I dragged myself through hell just to make you suffer, and I’ll make sure you really suffer!” These were your bitter words to me, my dearest Tristan, the words that had finally woke me up and shook me awake for what you really were. You said you’ve only come to me for revenge – to see me spill the blood that have been spilled similarly by your pack, by your own people, but did you not see that I was also one of your people? I am your wife now, your other half… Do you really think so poorly of me that you’d rather see me die and wither away like this rather than save me? When I accepted your hand back then, I admit that I was scared… I have never known what love was like. I had never known what freedom was like too, and you had given me those choices when you extended your hands towards me. “Dahlly,” you said, calling me softly by my childhood name, “Dahlly, come and run away with me. Come with me… Yo

Chapter 1: Childhood Lesson

THIRD MONTH OF YEAR 992, A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE TRAGEDY.DAHLIA:“Waah, mama,” the little girl wailed as I applied the ointment on her wounds. I tried to be as gentle as I could, but it didn’t seem to work much.“Mama, mama, it hurts!”I bit my lips. My heart hurt a lot seeing this small child weep in front of me. I soothed her in an attempt to make her feel better. I still needed to apply the rest of the ointment and patch the wounds afterwards, but I see it will take us more time to finish up in this state.“Don’t cry, baby,” I said as gently as I could. “We just have to put a little bit more medicine, and we will finish up so that you can play, alright? Just a little bit more…”She evaded my attempts to put the medical salve by writhing and thrashing about. I knew I should have eased the pain away when I first applied the ointment…“Don’t cry, Ay

Chapter 2: Surprise Attack

DAHLIA:“Good job, everyone. Now let’s go home,” I told them after finishing up on today’s charity work.Everybody was tired, but they were all smiling. Once everything has been cleared away and the supplies were safely loaded back into the wagon, I boarded the carriage with Lina, and we journeyed back together to the mansion.“Lady Dahlia, how long are you planning to give these free medical services along the poor men’s villages,” Lina asked.Lina was only two years older than me, and we grew up together. She was almost like a sister, but even though I loved her to death, I always hated this side of her – the side that occasionally spoke so harshly against the poor and the common people.“Whatever do you mean, Lina? I’ll do this forever,” I said.“Surely you don’t mean that, right, my lady? How about when you become the queen? I don’t think you will either

Chapter 3: Mate

DAHLIA:This was it. I was going to die in this manner. I closed my eyes and raised the dagger as high as I could.I waited for the sharp pain that the fangs of the wild rogue would bring, but it didn’t come. I opened my eyes slowly.That’s when I saw it – a great white wolf that was double my human size! He was clutching the rogue’s neck with his teeth, and his immaculate fur was drenched in blood.The second rogue fell upon his side, but a swift swipe of his paw hurled him violently away somewhere.Who was this wolf? Why was he attacking these rogues?I tried to look closely at him, but I don’t recognize him at all. Was he part of Kaist’s guards? If so, Kaist himself must be around here somewhere…At that exact instant, my nostril was filled with an extraordinary smell. It was the scent of lemons and the wet woodlands.I immediately recognized it as the scent of the great, white wolf

Chapter 4: Temptation

DAHLIA:I woke up to the smell of burning firewood and into the arms of someone clutching me so tightly inside a cave.I yelped in alarm. For a few seconds, I had forgotten what had happened. I didn’t know where I was or how I got there.“W-What?…”“I see you’ve woken up.”It was a man who was holding me close. I tried to look back at him, but he held me even tighter that I cannot seem to breathe.“Who… Who are you?”He didn’t have to answer me at all. At that exact moment, I remembered clutching a furry body as I fell down the cliff towards my death…“Don’t squirm so hard, my lady… Otherwise, you’d get my body too damn excited.”As soon as he said this, my body immediately stiffened. I felt every inch of my face turning red. Even the hairs at the back of my neck stood up when I realized that he was breathing right n

Chapter 5: Your Name

DAHLIA:“Do you really want to go home, Dahlia?...”My insides were turning wild. Why was he saying my name with such a sultry voice?“I… I… I think I have to go… now…”I finally said it. I looked away from his mesmerizing eyes and beautifully naked body and forced myself to look at the flickering flames at my side.“Let’s go now. Please take me back home.”It was taking every inch of me to resist him. If I looked back in his eyes, I fear I really won’t have the strength to refuse.“As you wish,” he replied, cold now. He swiftly transformed into a great white wolf. He growled at me.“Get on top. I’ll take you back.”After I have extinguished the fire with the bucket he had prepared beforehand, I nervously climbed to the white wolf’s back and clung into his fur.“Please be caref-!”I ha

Chapter 6: Breaking The Engagement

DAHLIA: “Lady Dahlia, are you sure you’re alright?” “Umm, yeah… yes…” It was not true. My head and heart were in a daze. Ever since the white wolf had left, it felt like my heart was in excruciating pain that I cannot speak. Were all fated mate partings like this? ‘Of course, what were you thinking,’ Eve said. After speaking her first words to me earlier, she found the power of her speech so amusing that all she could do now was talk. ‘Fated mates are destined by the Moon Goddess herself. Once a wolf finds his or her fated mate, he or she becomes complete. What do you think will happen once you separate again? It’s like splitting your soul in half!’ It felt exactly like that - like my heart was splitting itself into pieces, crushing my whole being. I wanted to cry and whimper, but I could not. I was still a long way from home… It was already morning time. After finding me, Sir Raleigh, Rick, Lina, and I stopped by an inn in the next vi

Chapter 7: Prisoner

DAHLIA:“Of course, Dahlia… You won’t expect me to really do that, did you? We’re not even sure you’ve found your real mate yet. What if he turned out to be some hoax?”Both Kaist and I are of the same age – nineteen years old - and we both haven’t found each other’s mate yet until today. It was during our younger years when Kaist had this ridiculous idea one day. “Dahlia, if we haven’t found our mate yet when we turn seventeen, will you just marry me?”Seventeen was the usual age of fated mate awakening for werewolves like us. We were both fifteen at that time. I remembered laughing hysterically when Kaist said this to me.“Why are you laughing that hard? Did I say something funny?”“Oh, I thought you were joking, Prince Kaist,” I said as I wiped a tear away from my eyes.“So, how about it? I don’t like to marry anyone I

Chapter 8: No Other Way

DAHLIA:I didn’t know what Kaist said to my father that day when papa ordered me to sleep, but it must not be good, at least for me.As expected, Kaist’s effort to find Tristan bore no fruits. The engagement party proceeded as planned.Three days went by very quickly. I rarely slept at night time. I cried my eyes out whenever I had an opportunity to be alone.“Lady Dahlia, you don’t look good,” Lina said, frowning immensely at my thinning wrist. “Your eyes are so sallow, and you look so pale. Did you not sleep again last night?”I had no energy to talk to Lina. She continued to brush my hair in front of the mirror, preparing me for the beautification needed for the day.Everyday was the same since the day I met Tristan. There was a gaping hole inside my heart, and I felt like I was in excruciating pain just thinking that I will be wed soon to someone else.Worse, I had no way of finding him, b

Chapter 9: Night of The Party

DAHLIA:Lina and the other servants were preoccupied for hours, dressing me, preparing me, making me beautiful enough to be served in a platter later in front of the noble houses of Talandor…Everything made me sick - the lights, the sounds, the dresses, and most especially the compliments that made my heart sink further and further down into the bottom of despair.“Lady Dahlia, you look truly beautiful! Congratulations,” the other attendants said in awe. They were sincere compliments, but I didn’t care. Neither Lina nor I spoke a single word while they bustled around to make me pretty for the party.  After several hours of letting them do their best work on me, I was finally allowed to look at myself in the mirror for the first time.Indeed, I looked lovely in a royal blue party dress. My hair was curled up, and it was adorned with crystal and sapphire stones, but my eyes looked quite empty.It was taking all
