Defy The Alpha(s)

Defy The Alpha(s)

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

Deux siècles après la Grande Guerre, la paix entre les humains et les loups-garous a finalement été atteinte, du moins tout le monde le croit. Les loups-garous règnent comme des dieux, et les humains restent dans une ignorance bienheureuse de leur véritable place dans le nouvel ordre mondial. Pour maintenir cet équilibre fragile, chaque année, une poignée d'humains "chanceux" sont sélectionnés dans divers districts pour assister à l'Académie Lunaris, une institution prestigieuse qui promet gloire, statut et une chance de côtoyer l'élite. Ceux qui sont choisis sont acclamés comme les quelques chanceux, destinés à épouser de puissants alphas et à s'élever en tant que luna. Cette année, Violet Purple est parmi les élus, à la surprise de tous. Pour une fille orpheline adoptée par une prostituée déshonorée, c'est un ticket en or pour une vie meilleure ou du moins c'est ce qu'on lui dit. Mais l'Académie Lunaris n'est pas le paradis qu'on décrit. Tout ce que Violet et ses camarades humains ont appris est un mensonge. Les humains sont loin d'être égaux ; ils sont des pions dans un jeu bien plus vaste. L'académie n'est rien de plus qu'une cage dorée, et les étudiants sont des agneaux menés à l'abattoir, des jouets pour les alphas dans leurs jeux impitoyables. Pour aggraver les choses, Violet attire l'attention des joueurs les plus dangereux dans ce jeu, les Quatre Terreurs : l'Alpha du Nord, l'Alpha du Sud, l'Alpha de l'Est et l'Alpha de l'Ouest. Chacun est plus dangereux, plus tordu et plus puissant que le précédent. Mais même entre eux, les alphas sont divisés, chacun poursuivant ses propres ambitions mortelles. Pourtant, ils ont tous les yeux rivés sur elle. Ils s'attendent à ce que Violet suive le mouvement, tombe dans les rangs comme les autres qui vénèrent à leurs pieds, qu'elle casse sous leurs jeux. Mais Violet n'est pas comme les autres. Elle refuse de s'incliner. Elle va tous les défier.

Nüwa's Creation Mythology
There were many records of Nüwa's creation. The complete literature record of the myth of Nüwa creating people was first found in the "General Meaning of the Way" by Ying Shao of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was said that at the beginning of the creation of the world, all things had been created but there were no humans. Nüwa had the idea of "creating people" when she was facing the water. She first made a small clay figurine similar to herself with yellow soil. The clay figurine was injected with vitality and "lived" on the ground. Later, in order to increase the speed, Nüwa picked up a rope and threw it into the mud. The mud fell to the ground and became" people". Goddess Nvywa was also believed to have created mankind and nurtured all living things. In Huainanzi, there were records of Goddess Nvywa's feats such as refining the five-colored stone to mend the sky, breaking the turtle pole, accumulating reed ashes to stop the obscene water, killing the black dragon to help Jizhou, and so on. Goddess Nvywa was also known as the mother of the earth and the goddess of creation. The earliest records of the myth of Nüwa creating humans were the "Songs of Chu" and "Classic of Mountains and Seas" of the Pre-Qin period. Although the records were vague, they also reflected the original mother goddess of Nüwa's function of creating humans. From the Han Dynasty, the image of Nüwa evolved from an independent god to a dual god in the social changes, and the status of her divinity declined. In the Tang Dynasty, the status of Nüwa in the myth of creating people declined further. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the myth of Nüwa creating people gradually shifted to the field of literature. In the Song Dynasty, the theme of Nüwa creating people appeared in the field of literature, and the literary value of the myth was further highlighted.
