In a beast realm ruled by carnivore clans, rabbits are treated as the lowest prey. I was sent into the royal hunting grounds and spent one forbidden night with Ronan, the Black Lion King. The next morning, the pureblood white lion Seraphina forged a prophecy, claiming I wanted his blood and would kill him. Ronan believed her, cast me into the rain, and ordered me to disappear. Nine months later, I gave birth to Poppy, the only black-lion cub born in eight hundred years. When her royal blood began to lose control, I returned to the capital. At the royal ball, Poppy called Ronan Daddy before everyone. As he demanded a bloodline test, Seraphina decided to silence us for good.
