winter forest

I was found as a youngster abandoned in a forest and adopted into the royal Baranov wolf family. It was fantastic at first. Learning that the royals were a bit eccentric intrigued me but the love I felt for my adopted family sister, Sasha, kept me enthralled. I had grown to love her with all my heart and was certain she was my true mate. We both expressed our feelings for each other but due to the Dire Wolf creed, nothing else happened. I had felt that she was going to be all mine until the announcement of her engagement. That was the day my dreams fell apart.

"I'll give you two days to prepare yourself because you will be staying with me after that. And I don't care even if I linger for many more weeks, months, or years. I will wait until you accept me, my Luna." – Alpha Ace. "I'm sorry. I know it will pain us both, but I can't commit, and I am rejecting you now, Alpha Ace." – Gwen. Gwen Hareya is a silver werewolf living in the farthest forest called La Cavier with her family. Her blood is versatile enough to heal and mend injuries of any werewolf, either alliance or opponent. But behind those good qualities about her, it cannot change the fact that her life is always in peril. Innumerable creatures are thirsty for her blood, primarily the cruel cubs led by Valir. Those scary truths were enough for her not to trust anyone aside from her best friend Matt, who she had known ever since they grew up together. She preferred solitude and no interactions with others because that's the only way she preserved her life. But one day, she met Alpha Ace, who claimed she was his Luna. She rejected him without hesitation, but the Alpha was persistent. Now that they had found each other, they were bound to stay in each other's arms to strengthen their wolf side. Will Gwen learn to trust him? What if her identity was discovered? Will Alpha Ace loathe and kill her? Or will he accept and protect his Luna from anyone who dares to harm her?

But upon finding the truth about everything she thought she knew – she found herself in the face of disdain. Would there ever truly be enough answers to her questions? Will she accept the truth? Or will she be the destroyer of worlds? -- **She suddenly sat up, her light blue hair swaying on her back. "But hey, at least you could always ask me if you want some kind of space or something." She looks at me with the brightest smile pasted on her face. A smile slowly formed on my face as I looked at her. Her smile was like this infectious thing that would brighten the whole room. I sat up and glanced down on the mirrored ground - I could see my own reflection. Blonde hair, red eyes looking right straight at me, a smile. But the smile was almost evil in the reflection. I closed my eyes, the smile that found its way on my face disappeared. "Don't stop smiling." I look up to see Lyv gazing at me softly, observing me. "You look beautiful when you smile."**

Zoey was the type to always fight back. She was never the type to take a no for an answer. “Your reputation as a vigilante will be exposed and above all…your father will die at your hands. All because of your stupidity and selfishness of taking up a mask to wear at night yet you don't even think about the consequences” “What is the proposition?", she muttered under her breath gently. “Oh well, you will stay here with me, in this mansion with me.” “Why do you want me to stay here?!", she questioned in confusion. “Do you remember the night before? On the alleyway, you killed my cousin.” She choked on her tea as she heard this and tried to hide her laughter.”Oh….I'm sorry…but on a serious note, he was not a nice person. He kidnapped and murdered children.” He sat next to her and started to talk, "You're right, he deserved it", he chuckled.“Please consider the proposition.”
