Prologue
As I stood on the roadside, watching the caravan of slavers approaching, I couldn't help but feel a knot of fear in my stomach. The sight of these traders and their wagons always brought back memories of the dark history of the world I lived in, a world where lycans ruled over humans with an iron fist.
It all started centuries ago, when the first lycan pack emerged from the shadows. They were powerful creatures, with the ability to transform into wolves at will. Their strength and speed made them almost invincible, and soon they began to dominate the humans around them.
At first, the humans had tried to resist. But they were no match for the lycans' superior strength and cunning. The lycans quickly established themselves as the ruling class, creating a society where humans were relegated to the lowest rungs of the social ladder.
As time went on, the lycans became more powerful, and the humans more desperate. The lycans had an insatiable appetite for power and control, and they would stop at nothing to maintain their dominance.
It wasn't long before the humans were forced into slavery, their lives reduced to back-breaking labor and dehumanizing conditions. They were treated like property, bought and sold at the whim of their lycan masters.
As the years went by, the divide between lycans and humans grew wider, with the lycans becoming more and more brutal in their treatment of their slaves. It seemed like there was no hope for the humans, that they would be doomed to a life of servitude forever.
But even in the darkest of times, there is always a glimmer of hope. And that hope came in the form of a secret love affair between a human slave and a lycan alpha, a love that would shake the foundations of their world and change everything forever.
