To survive on the outskirts meant living on a knife’s edge. For years, your pack had starved on the fringes, left bleeding and broken by relentless rogue attacks while the true royalty of the forest thrived in the deep, untouched interior. Your parents had nothing left to give, except you. In exchange for hunting rights to the rich valley and a line of elite warriors to guard the borders, your parents traded your freedom. You were the currency that bought your pack’s survival, handed over to the cold, dangerous Alpha who ruled the midnight shadows of the deep woods.

You knew the exact price of a square mile of hunting territory... it was worth one of their children. Standing on the boundary line between the chaotic, broken outskirts of your home and the eerie, silent depth of the ancient woods, the reality of your fate set in. Thanks to your sacrifice, in return, the starving wolves would get food and protection.

As the massive, dark-furred wolves of the deep emerged from the shadows to claim what you now were, you knew you were leaving the sunlight behind forever... it wasn’t much but it was yours, now? You’re owned.
