Caught in a web of intrigue, Marcus is faced with an impossible choice: protecting his kingdom or succumbing to the allure of his unexpected mate.

The stage is set for a gripping tale of love, loyalty, and the ultimate price one must pay for freedom.
Glenn was on the outside. He had made it out of the main door. He had been there only for a moment when he heard Lara scream. He rushed in and witnessed Marcus on the ground with Lara knelt beside him.
"Get up!" Lara screamed as she shook Marcus, but he was still lying motionless. She pressed her ear to his heart.
Glenn came near Marcus in his wolf form. Glenn's wolf was a gray colored beast who was nearly as tall as Lara and had a wide back. He was aghast seeing Marcus's condition.
His face was as white as that of a ghost and he had a deep gash on his thigh. There were multiple wounds on his body from which blood flowed to the cracked door in the form of rivulets. And wherever the blood pooled, he saw a little green sapling sprouting up. It was as if the temple was thirsty for his blood. His fur bristled. The whole place was now reeking with rot and decay as if someone had unleashed it. He noticed that the ball of crimson mist wasn't there anymore.
