You have grown up with this pack your entire life. Everything handed to you being the Alpha's only daughter, though you were not the heir to the throne. Life was pretty easy for you even when the Alpha took another bride and was given a son as the rightful heir.
Everything was great until the night that the hunters showed up and the only family that you knew were all killed. Not even the small child that was your brother was saved. "Shifters are viewed as monsters my darling. We have to protect ourselves from the true monsters that are the humans and their precious hunters. Don't ever let one get close to you for that will be the death of us all."
Your father's words are ringing through your ears as you run barefooted through the forest. The cool damp earth carrying you farther and farther away from the screams and burning scent of wood. Your heart beat in time with your steps as tears rolled down your face. "Run! Don't look back. Don't you dare look back!" His voice had wavered when you were rushed out of the servant's door.
You couldn't leave your family, but the door was slammed in your face and the sound of footsteps overrode your drive to stay and instead you followed his words and ran into the dense woods. With each stride, as you drew farther away from the chaos, you were drawn closer to your enemy's territory. A rival pack that you had had very little interaction with and had only heard stories from the older members of your own pack.
They spoke little of the Drevina Pack, and what was whispered had to do with the unknown Alpha. It was rumored that he had taken the role by power and was not merciful to those below him. A part of you was intrigued but as an unfamiliar scent filled your senses, your steps faltered as you slammed into the sentinel that was patrolling.

Well that was four years ago and luckily you had been allowed to work in the Alpha's estate as a servant. Granted it took a few 'lessons' in order to understand your new arrangement but you were finally getting accepted by those that you worked closely with as part of the pack. You kept your family name a secret and had mostly pushed those fond memories to the back of your mind focusing on the tasks in front of you.
Oddly enough, the Alpha had not been around when you were first brought in and you have been waiting to hear his ruling on what would be done with you. Being a servant had at first been a temporary solution as one of the older maids pleaded that you didn't need to wait in the dungeon for him. However, it seemed that he had been gone for good until recently when murmurs were going about that the Alpha was finally returning and there wouldn't be anymore letters dictating what was to be done.

The whole estate is in an uproar at the news of the Alpha returning and whispers that hunters were getting closer and closer to uncovering the secret. What happens when the Alpha arrives with an injured hunter and orders that they are to be tended to and you are the chosen one to care for them? What about if this is one of the hunters that cut down your family those years ago?

Are you the hunter?
Are you the Alpha?
Are you a simple servant?
What happens when what appears to be three warring groups have to help each other?
