Chapter 1 Meeting the Holbrooks.

Rosaline’s POVĚ

My name is Rosaline Sinclair. I’m a 20–year–old werewolf and the Alpha of the Shadow Pack. Yes, you read that correctly—I’m an Alpha, one of the rare female Alphas on the Werewolf Continent.

Not long ago, the Shadow Pack was one of the most influential packs on the continent. But after I was born, my grandfather led us into seclusion in Frostmoore, the northernmost part of the continent. He claimed. that our ancestors‘ first werewolf king came from here and that Frostmoore was our homeland.

Frostmoore was far from the bustling centers of the continent, and over the years, the outside world has learned less and less about our pack. Apart from us, no other pack knows that I’ve inherited the Alpha position from Hubert Sinclair, my grandfather.

My parents died when I was young. They were victims of the territorial wars between the larger packs. From an early age. I knew that protecting the Shadow Pack would be my lifelong duty.

Fortunately, the Moon Goddess blessed me with a strong and agile body. I began my werewolf training by the time I was six, and my skills surpassed those of my peers.

Once I was able to control my wolf, my grandfather was quick to pass the Alpha title to me. He said he was tired and ready to retire, to enjoy a peaceful life.

Normally, I would handle the pack’s matters in Shadow Pack, but here I am, standing at the Rivemon train

station.

It’s almost laughable. It wasn’t until I became an Alpha that my grandfather told me about an arranged marriage I couldn’t refuse. The groom–to–be was none other than Caden Holbrook, the first heir to the Eclipse Pack

“Just three months,” my grandfather pleaded.

“Please, just three months. Can you do that for me? You have to understand. If something happens to me and your destined mate isn’t strong enough, those elders will make your life miserable. That’s why I arranged this marriage with Eclipse Pack 18 years ago.”

I protested. “Grandpa, everyone in the pack respects me. Who would dare challenge me as I’m the first female Alpha of the Shadow Pack?”

My grandfather knew how strong I was. He’d said my power exceeded that of my father’s

But clearly, my parents‘ death had shaken my grandfather’s belief in the continuation of the family legacy.

Rather than letting the Moon Goddess decide my fated mate, my grandfather preferred to find a strong Alpha from a powerful pack to rely on. That way, he believed I would be better equipped to handle internal conflicts within the pack and protect our people, rather than facing it alone.

“You can come back if you don’t have any feelings for that boy from the Holbrooks after three months. We’ll break off the engagement then, my grandfather said.

I agreed, not just out of duty but also out of concern for my grandfather’s health. After he passed the mantle to me, his powers had diminished, and his body had begun to fail him. I didn’t want him to continue worrying about me. Three months was nothing; I could endure it.
