Awakened by the Enemy Alpha

Luna witnessed her eldest sister, Elena—who had awakened the power of the Silver Wolf—being chained to a stone altar in the ancestral shrine by their father. Her wolf soul was forcibly torn away and transferred into their younger brother, Perry. By the next day, Perry was hailed as a prodigy, worshipped by the entire clan, while it was announced that Elena had died after losing control of her wolf soul. That same night, Luna’s own power awakened, and she foresaw that her younger sister would be the next to be placed upon the altar. Desperate to save her, Luna fled the city under the cover of darkness and approached Arthur—her father’s sworn enemy and leader of the Hawk Wolf clan—with a proposal: she would trade a family secret for a public marriage. On their wedding night, when her wolf soul spiraled out of control, a complete "fated bond" mark appeared on both of their wrists; yet, she demanded a binding oath that he would never force a permanent mark upon her. Following the marriage, Luna rescued other awakened women who had been forced to flee, establishing a sanctuary for them. In a stone dungeon at the northern frontier, she discovered her aunt—imprisoned for twenty years—along with a centuries-old registry documenting the stolen wolf souls. During a public trial held on the night of a full moon, Luna ascended the altar accompanied by forty-seven survivors. In a final, desperate gamble, her father consumed all the wolf souls contained within the "stone core," but Arthur stepped in to shield Luna from the lethal blow. Joining hands with all the women, Luna recited the names that had been erased from history, shattering the seal and bringing an end to her family’s three-hundred-year-old system of soul-theft.
