Long before Lillian, Leander, Luther, and Lorcan, there lived King Orrin Dalgaard of Zidiah. Many believed the Moon Goddess had forsaken him, leaving him without a mate. In the depths of the Dalgaard forest, fate crossed his path with Princess Anja of Kulumi, a surprising encounter considering Kultz was Bear territory while she ventured into Wolf territory. At first glance, Orrin knew Anja was his destiny, but she didn't make it easy for him to pursue. Trapped in a whirlwind of events, Anja found herself expelled from her royal roots. On the night of her first transformation, she discovered a shocking truth – she wasn't the rightful heir to the Bear Kingdom; instead, she discovered her true heritage as a wolf, leaving her questioning her very existence. As Anja reluctantly accepted Orrin as her mate, their love story was entangled in a web of drama and heartache. Secrets unraveled, revealing that nothing was as it seemed. Orrin, the one who would risk everything for her, faced the challenge of protecting his beloved from both external threats and the turmoil within herself. The question remained: could he save Anja from her enemies and, ultimately, from the darkness within?
