The Beautiful Wolf

Melena is the most beautiful she-wolf anyone has ever seen. She later came to despise her beauty, as it led to the loss of not only her parents but also her entire pack.

She hides herself away, blaming herself for the death of everyone.

One day, Melena is forced to leave her hiding spot due to hunger. She's discovered by Alpha Alexander and chased down along with his men for breaking into his house.

Melena was unintentionally saved from falling into a pond of hungry alligators while escaping Alexander and his men by another alpha, Alpha Strider.

Again, Melena finds herself in another terrible situation, being locked in a cell on Alpha Strider Territory.

Alpha Alexander, determined to punish Melena, visits her in her cell only to see her beautiful form, which she's been hiding for years, and now he wants her more than anything in the world.

Alpha Strider hasn't seen her gorgeous form as yet. Will Alpha Strider hand over Melena to his number one rival, Alpha Alexander, for punishment, or will he also try to claim her for himself after seeing her beautiful form? Additionally, will Melena ever feel safe?

"Why did you give me this beautiful human form if it only causes destruction?" I yelled at the sky, angrily at the moon goddess.

Having such a rare, ethereal appearance, I couldn't walk around in my human form without men trying to claim me or fight for me.

"I hate myself, and I hate you too, moon goddess!" I again screamed in anger.

I screamed until my throat felt sore and my voice sounded hoarse.

Lying within a cave within the forest, which has been my home for the past ten years. I wished on the day I'd lost everyone that I had allowed the alpha to have his way with me. If I had done so, my parents and the entire pack would still be alive.

Why didn't I think of that before that terrible incident occurred?

"Stupid wolf," I bang my head against the hard walls of the dark cave.

I feel a throbbing pain, but what I felt inside was much worse. There was no pain within this world that could measure up to it.

I wish I
