It's been more than five years since Olivia left Crystal Blood Pack. She still remembers the painful day she was rejected by the Beta, Elijah, in front of the entire pack. Losing both her parents to a rogue attack at fifteen left her small and alone, but she managed to fend for herself without giving up on her studies in school. Despite the heavy workload assigned to her by the Alpha and Luna, she devoted herself to her education and trained tirelessly, striving for academic excellence.

Determined to prove herself, she spent countless hours researching and consulting with ancient texts, hoping to find a clue that would unlock her dormant wolf. With every setback, her determination grew stronger. On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, her wolf finally revealed itself. It was that very night when she discovered her destined partner.

The Werewolf Prince, Andrew, lost his right eye in a childhood accident. As heroic as he was to save his little sister from a Rouge before his father came, the Rouge still slashed through Andrew's face, almost costing him his life. He was a hero to his family but seen as weak as he got older around the others his age. Despite his status, he was bullied throughout school. When he was seventeen and got his wolf it was a shock to everyone. Generally, a wolf would reject his human side if something was wrong; missing limbs, blind, deaf, deformed, or mentally ill. It was written throughout our history and taught to the packs from a young age. Andrew thought that maybe there was a chance at happiness, he would find his mate and they would be happy together, forever. He was sadly rejected by his mate from a small pack. The Betas daughter, Lena, in the Crest Moon Pack rejected him after seeing he had a massive scar across his face which caused his loss of vision completely in one eye. When she looked at him and saw the damage to his eye she announced her rejection on the spot. When he accepted the rejection, she ran away from him. Because of this rejection, the Prince's heart grew cold and he remained distant to others, including his parents, who loved him through his struggles.

To his surprise, it was the Alpha's beautiful daughter Eliza, who he had previously met. He froze as his wolf called out to her. "Mate." When she caught his scent she walked to him also inhaling his scent. She had heard that he was now as cold as they came. The accident in his younger years made him into a monster, but she knew that was not true. He never took prisoners and slaughtered everyone in the field of battle that stood against him.
