Her skin is as tender as winter snow. Her long hair shines brightly like the black night sky . And her deep blue eyes remain calm and unperturbed, as if she is unaffected by any worldly matters.
Lyric Sage.
After many years the Sage Pack once again finds themselves at the center of attention.
As they celebrate the coming-of-age of the daughter of Alpha Dominic Sage.
The unmated men present are stunned by her allure, unable to even form a complete sentence in her presence.
Meanwhile mated men experience an unprecedented test of their loyalty.
So do their wives.
Overnight, this lady, who possesses power, wealth, and beauty, becomes the most sought-after figure in the noble shifters social circle.
There's even a rumer that she's actually a goddess.
However when the rumer reaches the ears of her family, she suddenly vanishes from everyone's sight like a fleeting flower.
...
3 months later...
"Come in." Alpha Dominic says hearing the knock on his study door.
"Alpha we received a message for you." The maid -an omega- says respectfully.
"Is it someone else asking how Lyric is doing? It's been like this since her coming-of-age ceremony. I've had enough of this." He says massaging the space between his eyebrows.
"It's a message from Luna's brother." The maid says.
"What does he say?" Dominic asks with a frown.
"He's asking if you remember what you promised." The maid says fearfully as she feels a strong pressure coming from the Alpha.
"Call for Lyric. I have something to tell her." He says worriedly.
...
When you ask about that sensational Lyric Sage of the Sage Pack.
Some people say:
"I heard that she's being abused by her parents and only survives by consuming dewdrops every day."
Some people say:
"I heard that she has an incurable disease that causes her skin to burn if even a ray of sunlight touches her skin."
Some people say:
"I heard she's cursed. Once she steps out of her home, she'll vanish into thin air."
This young lady is almost worshipped like a deity in shifter world, as people believe she is beautiful delicate and pure.
There's only one reason she doesn't leave the house.
Because she's....
Spoiled!
As the daughter of Alpha Dominic, Lyric has been doted on since childhood.
She only eats the best part of her food.
Doesn't walk on her own more than 100 steps.
In the end she's been raised to become...
Lazy in physical tasks.
Lacking in common sense.
Reliant on others to dress her up.
And feed her.
She's just eye candy.
...
A maid carries Lyric to the study door while she sleepily looks around.
The maid gently places her on the sofa where she is then handed a pillow to hug.
"Do you know how crazy the rumors are out there right now? They think you're being held captive in the tower and have even organized a team to free you!" Dominic says tapping Lyric on the forehead.
Lyric just stares at him not responding.
"If I could protect you for a lifetime, I wouldn't be so controlling over you. I've been running this big Pack on my own since you're mother died. I wouldn't have come all this way if it wasn't for you, but if I die one day, how will you live alone?" He says gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear lovingly.
Tears well up in her eyes when she hears what he says. And Dominic begins to feel guilty so he gently wipes her tears.
"Lyric, you will do everything I say right?" Dominic asks, and Lyric immediately nods in agreement.
"Then I'll have the servants start packing your things." He says turning to walk swiftly towards the door where he immediately instructs the omega at the door.
This shocks Lyric and she stares at her father with wide eyes.
"Blankets, quilts, bring a lot of clothes, actually just pack my card she can buy more when she gets there." Dominic says quickly and the servant swiftly jots down the instructions on a note pad.
"W-wait!" Lyric says reaching out to grab her fathers sleeve. He turns to look at her questioningly and he trys to ignore the look of panic on her face.
"Where... Are you... Sending me to...?" She asks looking at him pitifully. She had never left the mansion since she was a child other than for her coming-of-age ceremony.
"I'm sorry didn't I tell you? I'm sending you to a man I can entrust you too." Her father says shocking Lyric even more.
A man????
