Chapter 1

• 【Elena’s POV】
• I shifted into a white wolf, running on the endless ice field. Behind me, eight gray wolves followed my footsteps, howling loudly to proclaim the authority of our Frost Pack that should not be challenged.
• On the horizon, a group of red-eyed white wolves stared fiercely in our direction, but none dared to cross the boundary. Three months ago, I personally led the eight Beta warriors behind me to bite off this vast land from the powerful Frostfang Pack!
• My name is Elena Frost, a female werewolf from the north, and soon to be the first female Alpha in the history of Frost Pack and the entire northern werewolf tribe! I will mercilessly tear apart anyone who dares to provoke Frost Pack!
• As the routine patrol was about to end, I received a mind link from my grandfather, saying that he needed to discuss something important with me. So, I quickly returned to the Pack and shifted back to human form to meet him.
• "Grandfather, you wanted to see me."
• I stood in front of my grandfather with a slight bow.
• Although he was my grandfather, he was also the current Alpha of Frost Pack, and everyone had to show respect in front of the Alpha.
• "Do you remember the Storm Family? The ruling family of the southern Storm Pack."
• My grandfather asked me with a smile.
• "Of course, I remember."
• I replied, "Our two families have a very close alliance. Storm Pack converts our mineral resources into wealth and rare resources needed to strengthen the Pack, and we provide them with military support when necessary."
• "You also mentioned that you had an agreement with their Alpha, that the children of our two families would be betrothed when they come of age, forming a generational alliance."
• As I said this, I had a bad feeling in my heart.
• And my feeling was proven right.
• "Remember it well."
• My grandfather nodded and said, "Now, it is time for our two families to fulfill the agreement. This generation of the Storm Family has five males, and you can choose one of them as your Mate."
• I knew this was a task I could not refuse, just like my father did years ago - his Mate, my stepmother, came from the Storm Family.
• Their marriage was not happy, my father drank heavily, and my stepmother often cried.
• Growing up in such an environment, I naturally had a psychological resistance to arranged marriages. Moreover, finding a destined Mate under the guidance of the moon goddess is the eternal pursuit of every werewolf, so I decided to fight for myself.
• "Grandfather, I know that the alliance with Storm Pack is very important for stability, but the blessing of the Moon Goddess is supreme, isn't it? I am strong, and my destined Mate must also be incredibly powerful. His family will not be weaker than the Storm Family. Perhaps it is best for me to be with my destined Mate."
• Two years ago, guided by the Moon Goddess, I went south to find my destined Mate. I did not succeed that time, but I firmly believe that one day I will find him. I believe in the guidance of the Moon Goddess, it is my true destiny.
• "The blessing of the Moon Goddess is indeed supreme. If we do not value it enough, She will surely bring punishment, but..." Grandfather muttered to himself.
• "Frostfang Pack is ready to strike back at any time, Ironclaw Pack and Bloodthirst Pack are also watching us closely. Without the important ally of Storm Pack, perhaps before the Moon Goddess brings punishment, our Frost Pack will face big trouble..."
• After pondering for a while, he looked at me and made a decision.
• "Give Storm Family six months. If within six months, neither you nor any of them choose each other as Mate, I will talk to the Alpha of Storm Pack to solidify the alliance in exchange for other benefits. At that time, you can let go and find your destined Mate."
• "Of course, if during this time, you or one of them chooses the other as Mate, I will take you to the sacred place to hold a ritual, asking for the forgiveness and understanding of the Moon Goddess."
• Out of respect for my opinion, Grandfather made a slight concession - which is not easy. In the north, Alphas never make concessions when it comes to Pack interests!
• I know that this is not because Grandfather loves me enough. Come on, Alphas always put Pack interests first. It is because I am strong enough!
• I have mentioned before that my foster mother is not capable of giving birth, so my father has many illegitimate children, and I am one of them, with my birth mother being a lowly Omega.
• I grew up in cold eyes and mockery, and I grew up in battles and fights, stepping on countless bodies, only to stand out from the many illegitimate children and be given the family name, becoming the next Alpha candidate today.
• It is because of these reasons that Grandfather, as an Alpha who never compromises, had to consider my feelings.
• Of course, I also realize that Grandfather really only made a tiny concession, because he said "neither you nor any of them choose each other as Mate," which is undoubtedly a huge challenge.
• My appearance and figure are impeccable, to the point where I would be fought over by talent scouts in human society. What's more, I possess powerful combat talents, and my wolf Sienna has a special ability to change pheromones at will.
• With my own strength and the future Alpha status of Frost Pack, I am enough to drive any werewolf noble crazy. The Alpha of Bloodthirst Pack once said he would pay three gold mines to have me as his Luna.
• So, in order to ensure that the five brothers of the Storm Family do not choose me as their Mate, I also made a small request to my grandfather.
• "I want to hide my future Alpha status and my appearance as a test for them. I am the pillar of Frost Pack, the future Alpha, and my destined Mate must be an incredibly powerful being. If they want me to give up the search, they must make it worth my while."
• Grandfather clearly understood my intentions, but my reasoning was sound, and he had no reason to refute it.
• He rubbed his temples with a slight headache at my cleverness, "Alright, I'm starting to worry about the boys from the Storm Family."
• After a pause, he smiled at me meaningfully, "If you find your destined Mate early, things will be much simpler. The Moon Goddess's arrangements are supreme, and that old guy will surely understand. I remember your destined Mate is also in Hunterston, isn't he?"
