Sarah reluctantly attended a masquerade ball organized by her family, an annual event hosted by their pack. Under the influence of alcohol, she found herself in a moment of vulnerability and ended up becoming involved with the pack's Alpha. To her surprise, she discovered she was pregnant, but her father, not wanting to know about the identity of the father, decided to distance himself from her. Sarah had her own reasons for keeping this secret, possibly fearing judgment or complications. When she arrived at the Alpha's residence, she无意撞见 him in an intense encounter with Valerie, a notorious figure within the pack. Sensing her presence, he instantly dismissed her as his potential mate without further explanation.
