Her arc moves from victim to Alpha, and her emotional core is the hunger to be seen as worthy.Kade Blackwood is the nineteen-year-old future Alpha of Silverclaw and Lena's fated mate. He is cold, proud, and bound by duty to his pack's expectations. His rejection of Lena is not born of cruelty alone but of fear—fear of what choosing an omega would cost him politically. His arc is one of slow, painful regret, and his wolf recognizes Lena long before his human side is willing to admit it.Seraphina Nightshade is the pack's golden girl and Kade's chosen Luna. On the surface she is beautiful, strong, and beloved; underneath she is calculating and dangerous.
