grand general 24

Even before marrying Wayne Cooper, I knew he had a fierce sister-in-law. He would always tell me to never get into a fight with her. After we marry, we spend Christmas Eve at his parents' house for the first time. I'm forced to bustle around in the kitchen as I prepare a feast for over a dozen people. Meanwhile, Wayne's family lounges in the living room. They chatter away while enjoying the fruits I've washed and sliced. As I place the last dish on the table, Wayne's brother and sister-in-law, Kyle Cooper and Lucy Wren, arrive. When I want to take my seat, I discover there isn't one for me. That's when Lucy snorts and says sarcastically, "I heard you're a good wife who's obedient and easygoing, Melanie. I have to say that your cooking is… mediocre, though." This infuriates me. I'm about to retort when she turns to my mother-in-law. She says, "I think you should do the cooking from now on, Gloria. Your food is delicious…"

Being the only werewolf with a peculiar birth mark believed to be a sign of misfortune, Tiara gets treated like an outcast in her own pack. The general belief that her mother died from the misfortune that surrounded her birth further made her life more miserable, despite being the first born daughter of the Alpha. Tiara finds herself being constantly abused by her step mother and step sister who make her serve as a slave, scrubbing the pack house and going about in rags. The first time there's a remarkable change in Tiara's life is one night when she goes running in the wood in her wolf form, seeking solace in the quiet. The Almighty Alpha Nicholas, powerful and handsome, finds her in the woods and instantly takes a liking to her. His pack is not in good terms with her's, but with the knowledge of Tiara, the daughter of the alpha who is treated worse than a slave, alpha Nicholas knows that the time has come to form an alliance with her pack. Something that allows him into her pack and leaves with her.
