Everyone knew that Penelope was the only wolfless omega in the Woods family, a shame for the Dark Wood Pack. Penelope herself knew this.

Even Penelope knew that this was true—that social class was the biggest gap to bridge—but she didn't give up hope. The promised knight who was going to save the princess came down from the sky on her 18th birthday. Just like every fairy tale, a princess would be saved by a perfect kiss. Not Penelope, though. Just as Penelope was getting excited about her new life, she realized that the princess could wait for the knight to save her because the dragon had never hurt her. Dragon or knight? Penelope thought she could make the right choice and avoid problems in the future, but when she was betrayed again, she realized that a real princess wasn't just a vase there to be saved. *** A/N: This is an experimental piece that contains sexual, bloody, and violent scenes.
