From childhood, Iскра knew who her mate was. It was incredible! She was barely a baby when she first clung to the adult son of the leader like a burr. He was her idol, and she tried with all her might to become important to him. But one day he brought a wife into the pack, without waiting for Iскра to grow up, and she had to leave. He didn’t recognize her as his mate. She must have been the only shapeshifter in the world whom her true one rejected. It’s like a stigma! But Iскра became one of the most respected women in the kingdom. And she believes that someday fate will give her a second chance to meet her mate—and she will be ready for it!
