Prologue
“My companion? It can’t be, the heavens wouldn’t play this trick on me, Nikolay just hates me”
“Yes Anna, it’s him, it’s Nickolay”
Desperate, that’s the feeling I carry inside me when I hear my father say that the only man on the face of the earth I wouldn’t choose to be by my side was predestined to do so, for the rest of our lives
Our bond was forged long ago, without taking into account that blow between our families, when one who thought he had the right to be Supreme was cut from the pack, where Nickolay now holds that position
If Uncle Nico never accepted being the black sheep of the family and more than that, he never accepted the destiny set by the moon goddess in choosing who would be responsible for uniting two species, werewolves and vampires, that’s why he tried to kill me, that’s why I carry the mark of survival engraved on my soul.
“What now? What do I do now?
“Pay close attention, child, I’ve hidden this from you, I’ve hidden who you really are, but it’s time you knew that you’re not just a human, that the power inside you is greater than even you can imagine. I wanted so much to protect you, I wanted so much to put you in a little pot and keep you safe, but I can’t, the evil is coming daughter, and only you, together with your partner, will be able to repair this damage, only you my little one. So be strong”

"Mine, she's mine and no one else's"
Lucien, my wolf, screams inside me, clawing at my soul, claiming the woman I wish I'd never met
But he's stronger than me, even though I don't want him to, even though I'm still trying to convince myself that she's a damn human, my soul wants her close, my whole body tears apart at the thought of not having this woman by my side
The pack is under attack, so, without knowing exactly why, she was forced to come with me, so that the wolves could "protect" her, but my ego wouldn't accept it, I wanted her gone, because to me, she was just a human being
I didn't know, who would have thought?
"Son, the blood moon is coming, you need to join your Luna, it's either that, or our pack won't survive"
My head wants to hate her, but my heart and my whole being, wants to love her, wants to have that woman around, simply because she is mine and mine alone, no fight between them can take my mate away from me
