Fated to the Alpha King

Layla, the last survivor of the Silvermoon Clan, was reduced to a lowly slave and sent as a sacrifice to the grand ritual of Kain, Wolf King of the Wolfkin. As she endured public humiliation before the crowd, Kain caught the unique scent of her Silvermoon blood—a fated lineage said to lift the thousand-year curse plaguing him and secure his reign. Ignoring the protests of all present, he seized Layla by force, branded her with his exclusive wolf mark, and locked her away in the ancient tower of Silvermoon Citadel. Hidden beneath her skin on her arm lay a Silvermoon birthmark glowing faintly, a secret of her bloodline Kain knew nothing about. Layla soon learned the brutal truth: the child growing inside her held the key to breaking the curse, yet once the curse was lifted, both mother and son would be sacrificed. To protect her baby, she harnessed the power of her blood under the full moon to break free from her cell and leaped off a waterfall to escape. When Kain rushed to the empty tower, he found only torn, bloodstained garments, experiencing the terror of loss for the very first time.
