"650 years ago, before Alias became a king, he was a best friend. To Vanessa. They grew up as pups together. Vanessa was abandoned at birth, dropped on an old cottage doorstep, where Alpha Max and Luna Lila of The Crescent pack had taken her in as their own. Max and Lila, who had mated 4 years before, struggled to conceive due to an attack that had left her almost dead. They raised Vanessa, not telling a soul where she came from.

Found as an abandoned human, she lived in terror, surrounded by supernatural creatures. But 5 of the supernaturals used magic and gave half of themselves to Vanessa. She was to be their savior, preventer of all doom. She was immortal.

As Vanessa grew bigger, they noticed the changes in her development. She had fangs, she was able to do magic, her scream could dismantle her enemies. She was stronger than any that crossed her path. Back in those days, only men could rule a pack, as females were thought to be the weaker sex. All that changed in the Crescent Pack. Vanessa became the first female Alpha to rule the Crescent Pack. And her pack became notorious; no one ever tried to take them down.

2 years later, Vanessa searched for her destined mate, but at every Mating Festival, she seemed to come up short. She envied each couple that left, jealous that it wasn’t her. Until Beta Caleb showed up at the next festival. She had found her mate...

But he immediately and publicly rejected her. He did not believe he could find love in a human."
