SILVER BLOOD'S PREQUEL Right in the middle of the ballroom, the tray as well as the champagne glasses clattered on the ground with a loud crash, spilling drinks everywhere and on everyone close, he stared at me with so much disgust and I didn't know how to feel. “Impossible! The moon goddess must have lost her mind if she thinks you, a mere wolf can match up to an Original lycan.” Every word uttered led to something I dreaded the most. “I, Prince Alaric O'Neil Winston, reject you as my mate. Get her out of here now!” For centuries, the Lycans ruled with extreme viciousness and wickedness by enslaving the weaker and inferior specie, the werewolves. Their agony and suffering met the heart of the moon goddess and she bestowed upon them a savior. Chosen To lead her kind to freedom after being rejected by her mate, the lycan prince, Diana Melbourne must become the very thing she feared—a killer!

Kara Anderson, a 19-year-old omega, has been granted a year of freedom before being promised to the alpha of the Crimson Moon pack. This arrangement stems from a blood oath her father made to settle his gambling debts, a man who had been terrorising and abusing her throughout her entire life. As her year comes to an end, Elio Van De Vord arrives to claim his bride. Despite everything Kara has endured, she believes enduring one more tormentor is worth it if it means saving her family. Elio Van De Vord, a 27-year-old hybrid half-wolf and half-no one knows, is infamous for being one of the cruellest and deadliest alphas in the country. He seizes control of packs at his own discretion, driven by his hunger for power. However, his plans take an unexpected turn when a small omega enters his pack, causing chaos and disruption. Kara proves to be a puzzle, immune to his commands and resistant to his other powers, except for one. When Kara makes a mistake, Elio is forced to punish her, intensifying their mutual hatred. If they didn’t despise each other before, they certainly do now. However, fate has a way of intertwining their lives, revealing that they are destined mates. Will their disdain for each other consume them, or will they discover a path beyond hatred and fall in love?

There are no grown men in our village. When girls turn 18, they participate in a coming-of-age ceremony in the ancestral hall. Dressed in ceremonial clothes, they line up to enter, and when they come out, their faces show a mix of pain and joy. When my eldest sister turned 18, Grandma forbade her from attending. However, one night, she snuck into the hall. When she came out, she was limping, and blood was dripping between her legs.

Her: My husband is not the man I love. No, He is my punishment. No one forced me to marry him, I married him willingly.  I share his bed every night, willingly. I don't love him.

But My husband wants something from me that I am not ready to give.  Children! Him: The first time I saw her, I couldn't take my eyes off her. She was my enemy’s daughter. Proud and egoistic just like her father.   They say there was no better way to bring your enemy to his knees than hurting his family. I did that, I married his daughter to hurt him.  She came to me willingly. She thought I had forgotten the insults she had done to me. But she didn't know that I forgot nothing.  It was time for payback.  There was only one payment I wanted from her: Children.  The day she insulted me I promised revenge. I promised to crush her pride and arrogance. She called me bad blood, she insulted me for being an Orphan. Now my children will have her noble blood in their veins. Now she will be known as the mother of my children!
