"NO!" The Wolch screamed as the Queen of Zurus sacrificed herself for the king. The woman became wolf and back again. She could not get control of her body. She could not get control of her power. She could not understand what had gone wrong.
The Queen was supposed to kill the king, not save him! She was not supposed to kill herself. All her planning...ruined! All her life's work...thrown away by a simple-minded common servant that caught the heart of a king, a king who was also beast! No one can fall in love with a beast! No one had ever fallen in love with a beast. No one!
The only proof she had of course was herself. No one had fallen in love with her. All her life, she had been alone, misunderstood, just barely tolerated. Always on the outside of gatherings and social groups. She was not a part of a family. She was not wanted or needed. She was just…well, a shadow. Maybe less.
