When I initially thought my desire was simple: to locate my soulmate and lead a tranquil life, I'd be dishonest if I didn't admit that deep down, I yearned for a dramatic escape, like entering the palace, sacrificing everything, and being sent halfway across the globe. If given the chance, I would've acted on that impulse the moment chaos ensued, but alas, that was not what Alpha Zander desired. He wanted me to endure a living nightmare, claiming I didn't deserve even death. The accidental loss of two of his partners seemed to outweigh my existence. As a slave, I suffered continuous torture, humiliation, and, if possible, the erosion of my spirit. So, when it was revealed I was also his mate, his rejection and the restriction of my powers, along with putting my wolf in a deep sleep, should've come as no surprise. His parents, who idolized their flawless Luna Jocelyn, my deceased sister and his original mate, played a role in choosing him a new partner. And just when I thought my circumstances couldn't get any bleaker, I found myself standing on an auction block, reduced to a pawn, with men竞相竞价如同对待财产。Then, the feared Alpha, whose mere name instilled fear, bought me, calling me "bride, not slave," those three solemn words revealing a softer side to his rule. It turned out we shared a common enemy, Alpha Zander, and he was willing to aid me in seeking retribution. Oh, Alpha Zander, prepare yourself for the fall, for my mate and I are coming for you, ready to make you bow.
