Mariam's POV
The word kept echoing in my mind.
"Lycans."
Even though that's what Lady Hilda had called us, I still found it hard to accept. I knew it wouldn't be easy, because just a few hours ago, I was nothing more than an unpopular girl, a nerd whose adoptive brother wanted to dominate as his slave to do his homework all year long.
"Their nature is quite strange and unique," Lady Hilda continued, still clutching our hands with hers. "And... powerful."
I didn't know much about lycans, not because I wasn't interested, but because I never thought I'd encounter one in my life. While it was true that our king was one, as was common in all kingdoms of our kind, the chances of me ever presenting myself at the Court were the same as entering the mansion of any movie star, that is, zero.
