Something is wrong. Her vision blurred and then she heard footsteps, heavy and desperate. She lifted her gaze and saw him, her mate. “Ryland…” She lifts her hand weakly, reaching for him. He’s here. He can save her. Ryland’s gaze lands on her, his face pale as he takes in the blood staining her dress. His jaw clenches. For a second, she thinks he’s going to come for her. But then his eyes shift.

This year, that sacrifice is Lorraine Anderson Branded as the outcast of the ShadowFang Pack, she has endured years of torment at the hands of those who once called her family. Beaten, broken, and betrayed, she is now being handed over to the monsters that rule them all. The Lycans. She knows what awaits her.....death.

And at the center of it all stands him. The Lycan prince. Cold. Ruthless. Dangerous. His red eyes seem to follow her every move, his presence a constant, suffocating force. She should fear him like everyone else. She should cower under his gaze. But she doesn’t. Because beneath his terrifying exterior, there’s something else. Something dark and possessive. Something that makes her heart pound in a way it never should. In a world where strength is everything and weakness means death, Lorraine has only one choice.... to fight. Even if it means challenging the very monsters that want to destroy her. Even if it means becoming something far more terrifying than anyone ever expected. Because one thing is certain… She will not die quietly.

Am I going insane? The thought slithers into my mind the moment I wake up, cold and disoriented, in a place that feels more like a nightmare than reality. My head is empty, my memories wiped clean, leaving behind only a suffocating void where my identity should be. The walls around me are smeared with something dark—blood, maybe. Symbols, jagged and unfamiliar, carve into the surfaces as if someone tried to leave a message… or a warning. But none of it makes sense. Nothing here makes sense.  I try to grasp at something—anything—but the harder I reach, the faster it slips through my fingers, like smoke dissolving in the air. My pulse pounds as I force myself to move, each step foreign, like I’m controlling a body that doesn’t belong to me. A name. A purpose. Something to tell me who I am. But there’s nothing. Only fragments, pieces that refuse to fit together. Then the games begin. Survival. That’s all it’s supposed to be. Do what you’re told, follow the rules, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll make it out alive. But I learn quickly that this isn’t just about survival. It’s about control. It’s about twisting reality until I don’t know what’s real and what’s a lie. The other players are just as lost, just as desperate, but I can see it— But they aren’t like me. Some of them know more than they’re letting on. Some of them… aren’t afraid. The more I search for answers, the more the world unravels. Reality bends. Faces blur. Voices whisper from places they shouldn’t. Every time I think I’m close to the truth, it twists away from me, leaving me drowning in questions I can’t answer. The line between what’s real and what’s in my head has thinned to nothing, and I don’t know if I can trust my own mind anymore. Who am I? Maybe it’s better that I don’t know. Maybe knowing would break me beyond repair. Or maybe… maybe I was never meant to leave this place at all. I used to think I was just confused, just lost in the chaos. But now? I was definitely insane.

In a society where illegitimate children were treated as outcasts, Lily found herself among those shunned and scorned. She was ridiculed, trampled upon, and mistreated by her own family, yet she lacked the strength to stand up for herself. When a man proposed to her, she hesitated, wary of his intentions. But the desire to escape her wretched home outweighed her doubts, and she accepted, only for her fate to take a cruel turn. A day to her freedom, she was drugged by her step-sister and woke naked in the arms of the most feared Alpha, Alpha Lucian, who, to her horror, was her step-sister’s betrothed. She was accused of seducing him and was quickly sentenced to death. Her father, who had long wished to be rid of her, wasted no time in judging her. “Stanley Lily, you will no longer be associated with this family and pack, and shall be sentenced to death for tarnishing our honor!” He declared, striking his gavel upon the soundboard. Kneeling upon the cold stone floor, Lily trembled, her frail form barely able to endure the weight of the accusations. She curled in on herself as the crowd whispered vile things, their gazes filled with disgust. But she was too weak to defend herself, too powerless to refute their lies, not that anyone would believe her over her flawless step-sister. “You dare seduce my fiancé after all this family has done for you? How can you be so despicable?!” Selena cried, shedding crocodile tears as Williams, the man who had once professed his love for Lily, held her protectively. Lily watched, her heart sinking, as the man who had once been hers now comforted another woman before her very eyes. If only she was not an illegitimate daughter… If only she was as beautiful as Selena… If only her wolf side had manifested… Perhaps then, they would have accepted her. As her father, Alpha Brian declared her to be beheaded, a voice rang out from the crowd, silencing the murmurs and sending a ripple of shock through the onlookers. “I will claim her.” Lily was too weak to lift her head, but the voice stirred something within her. It was strong, commanding…familiar. Who would bother to save a worthless, forsaken she-wolf like her? — Just when she believed her life had reached its end, the very man who had taken her innocence stepped forward to claim her. Yet, rather than offering salvation, Alpha Lucian made his intentions cruelly clear. “Do not delude yourself into thinking I married you out of kindness,” he spat. “I did this to make you suffer for ruining my plans. You will never know happiness unless you find a way to fix your mistakes. Do you understand?” His voice thundered through the chamber, sending chills down Lily’s spine. Shrinking against the wall, she stammered, “Y-yes, Alpha Lucian…” “There will be no wedding ceremony,” he continued coldly. “And if you know what’s good for you, stay out of my sight. You will work as a maid in the omega quarters.” With that, he stormed out, the loud slam of the door leaving behind a suffocating silence. Lily clung to the hope that if she remained unnoticed, she might endure life within Alpha Lucian’s pack. But, as always, hatred always found her. She became a target of cruelty, not just from her mother-in-law, but even from the other omega maids, who tormented her without cause. How long could she endure? Would she resign herself to her fate, or somehow find her way into the Alpha’s heart?

When I opened my eyes, I found myself face to face with Darius Thorne, the main character of [Arcanus Academy], who was looking at me with disdain. Many questions raced through my mind. What is happening? Is this a dream? Why won't he stop yelling? Am I dead? Does he have something stuck in his teeth? Have I somehow entered the world of my favorite game, like in those Web Novels I read so often? I opened my mouth, about to ask one of the many questions that had come to mind upon realizing the huge mess I was in. What I was about to say would be my first words in this new world. I had to be careful; the slightest mistake could worsen my current situation, which, judging by how things looked, didn’t seem good at all. "Can you get that thing out of your teeth? It's distracting me." Everyone nearby fell silent and stared at me until a burst of laughter erupted. Darius covered his mouth, clearly embarrassed. 'Damn, I already messed it up.' ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ - English is not my native language
