The orphan Faustina falls in love with Alcard, the prince of the wolf clan. Recognized as his fated mate, she is cruelly rejected by him, left with a searing heartbreak. In her despair, Faustina stumbles upon her true lineage: she is the long-lost rightful heir of the Bellwood family. Reuniting with her birth mother, Duchess Liane, she formally returns to the noble house.
Over six years, Faustina gives birth to triplets fathered by Alcard. She raises the children alone while excelling in her studies, quietly growing and transforming. She fakes her own death to sever ties completely with her old identity, living peacefully with her mother and her kids.
Just as her life settles into order, Faustina crosses paths with Alcard again at a royal cabinet meeting, and the old heartache resurfaces. Reborn and wielding the power of her family, Faustina no longer clings to romance. Resolved to face her past and lie in wait for retaliation, she takes on her new title as Duchess of Bellwood and wages a poised, dignified revenge against Alcard, who once broke her.
