I won the trial. I earned the crown. But when I stood victorious in the arena, drenched in sweat and blood, my father—the Alpha—looked into my eyes and said only one thing: 'A woman cannot lead.' In that moment, my heart fractured. Not from loss, but from betrayal. By tradition. By blood. By the man who raised me to fight, only to cage me for being born female. Now, they're forcing me into an arranged mating with a king I've never met. But I won't be anyone's bride. I'll become someone else entirely. A boy named Seth. At the Lupine Academy, where only male heirs are allowed, I'll train in secret, rise through the ranks, and claim the throne that was stolen from me. If this world won't accept a female Alpha… then I'll break it until it does.
