prologue
Lilyana's POV
I feel like I'm running for my life. I know that I can’t keep it up for long because he is of a higher rank than me. I have to hide somewhere that he can’t find me. The school has limited places to hide. If I go into a room, it will mask my scent. The downside to that is that it only masks my scent from the outside.
Let me start from the beginning. I live in Washington, a small town surrounded by wood and over fifty miles to the next town. My mom and her bond with her mate was magical. They were so in love. Then, when I was eight, he died and my mom was devastated. She was broke and she was distant. I felt all alone. It was hard for us to get back to normal, but the moon goddess gave my mom a second chance to mate, and to see her happy again broke me. I was happy that she was happy, but it felt like she had forgotten about the man who was her first mate, my dad. I don’t want to go through the same things my mom did. I decided that I would never let my mate/mates touch me. The thing is that my dad, well before he died, was going to be the next king of the wolves. Yes, I know that there are alphas, but he would have been the king of every wolf. The alpha of alphas. The only thing that I have left of him is his eyes. That has been my curse for years. It sucks having bright purple eyes. Everyone calls me a freak. I'm just happy that none but mom and I know the truth about me being half royalty. The only way other wolves would know is if they see my fur and everyone thinks that I haven’t shifted yet, so it works in my favor. Silver fur isn’t easy to hide….
