Skylar Vega is the illegitimate daughter of the Silverpine Pack’s Beta. Though a faint wolfblood lineage runs through her veins, her family lies to the pack, claiming her mother was a mere human — leaving her branded with the stigma of “Half-Wolf”, an outcast unrecognized by wolf society.
She has no seat at the manor’s table, is relentlessly bullied by her stepbrother Caleb, and is met with utter indifference from her father, Beta Vega. Her only hope lies in the Elite Warrior Trials 32 days away — yet Half-Wolves are strictly forbidden to enter.
She sneaks out to the frozen tundra to train in secret, burying her true strength from everyone. A tattered Elite Warrior uniform salvaged from the trash is stashed away in her attic. Every day, she stares into the mirror and whispers: “Once I pass the trials, they’ll never call me Half-Wolf again.”
