Chapter 1

On the night of the Blood Moon Ritual, Clara, the pack's sweetheart,

stole the Heart of Fenrir. It should have been mine.

That legendary totem held the wolf spirit said to create the strongest Alpha.

In my last life, I got the Heart of Fenrir.

But during a battle with vampires, Gideon,

the wolf spirit bound to me, pushed me directly into their fangs.

Just to protect Clara.

That was when I realized.

He was never truly loyal to me.

When I opened my eyes again,

I picked up the nameless stone Clara had dismissed and thrown aside.

One of the pack elders tried to stop me.

“Selena, that is just an ordinary stone.

The wolf spirit inside is weak. It will only weaken you.”

He had no idea.

When the wolf spirit inside that stone finally showed itself…

Every wolf would bow.

...

Just like the nightmare from my previous life, Clara reached out from behind me.

Among the ancestral totems, she snatched the Heart of Fenrir.

The one carved with the mark of the great wolf.

The young wolves around us froze.

They surrounded her and called her out.

“Clara, these totems were brought back from the Forgotten Lands by Selena’s father, the former Alpha, who gave his life for them. The Heart of Fenrir should belong to Selena. You can’t just take it!”

The Moonfang Pack prided itself on bloodline and strength,

but the wolf spirit’s power ultimately determined a wolf’s future potential.

The wolf spirits sealed inside these totems were ranked as Dormant, Awakened, Warrior, Elder, and Legendary.

Werewolves shared their bonded wolf spirits’ power,

so obtaining a Legendary totem was the ultimate guarantee on the path to Alpha.

My father, the former Alpha, died last month in the Forgotten Lands.

He was defending our pack from a vampire lord.

He sent these totems back before he fell.

The Alpha Elder wanted me to inherit the strongest totem.

That was his promise to my father.

But Clara stole it from me first.

Facing everyone’s anger, Clara looked at the Alpha Elder with tears in her eyes.

“Elder… I want to become stronger and serve the pack too. Selena grew up here.

She knows these things far better than I ever could. I'm sure she'll find a wolf spirit that suits her even better...”
