"Dear mate, I have found you." Melissa Dawn's life changes over night after she meets the king of the loners in the hyena's clan. The loners were known to be scary and evil animal shifters banished after they had committed a serious crime so everyone was afraid of them. Including Melissa who all of a sudden realizes that the king of the loner clan is her mate. Not wanting to get married to him, Melissa pretends not to know him causing him to lose his mind and is forced back into the loner's clan. However, her conscience doesn't allow her to rest for long and Melissa finally agrees to marry the king of the loner's clan . But this makes her suffer a huge blacklash as the Shifters start to discriminate against her when she becomes the queen of the loners. Being caught in a new surrounding, Melissa struggles to adapt as well as help her husband who she realizes isn't bad at all making her fall in love with him unexpectedly.
"Congratulations on your mating ceremony." The crowd surround the two lovers clapping and singing for them. Although they had done their mating ceremony, their actual wedding had not yet been done therefore they couldn't be considered a real married couple yet. Nevertheless, the entire Shifter kingdom now knew the girl to belong to him and him alone.
"Senior sister, you came." Melissa heard someone say to her gaining her attention.
Of course she had to come. She was the wolf clan successor and the girl in question was a wolf.
"I can't believe how fast you have grown. Look at you now. You are already mated. You must be very careful in the future. You know the rumors around here. If you are mated, the loners will take you away." Melissa said but got hit instead by her mother.
"What did I tell you about talking about them in public? Do you want to get beaten again?" Melissa heard her mother ask making her shake her head immediately.
Talking about the loners was forbidden. Maybe it was because they were known to be a clan without any bottom line or maybe it was because of their king. Either way, they were greatly avoided and no one dared to mess with them.
Looking at her sister, Melissa smiled awkwardly looking for a chance to leave immediately. Just then, she found her target.
"Your Highness." Melissa said leaving her mother's side as she went to greet the crown prince.
The crown prince of the Shifter kingdom. The royal family was said to be the only ones to be able to shape shift into any animal of their choice. The rest, they could only turn to any human and the animals of their clan. She was a wolf therefore the only animal she could turn into was a wolf and any human she wanted. As long as she had their pictures or had seen them at least once, she could definitely turn into one of them.
"You are running from your mother, aren't you?" Melissa heard the crown prince ask making her nod her head while the crown prince shook his head.
They had grown up together. All the clan successors had grown up with the crown prince. After his father's reign as the Shifter king, they would rise up and assist him as his cabinet members.
" You. What are you really trying to do? Your mother is going to spit out blood at this rate. You are too mischievous." Melissa heard the crown prince say making her laugh.
Yes, she was mischievous. The most mischievous of all the clan successors but it was because she had a very good reason to be. Her father had died early leaving her to be cared for by the other submissive mothers since her mother had gone rogue at the time. Being the only clan successor being raised at the hands of the submissive mothers, she became spoiled.
" And I am going be even more mischievous. I found out that the hyenas are throwing a party. Of course I would have to attend." Melissa said giggling as they took their seats.
"Don't even think about it. The hyenas are involved in a lot of fraudulent activities. Do you want to get sold off?" The crown prince asked.
"He won't dare. I am his sister. His senior sister. And I am much stronger than him. Even if thousands of hyenas were to hold me down, they wouldn't be able to tie me up successfully. I'll just beat all of them and beat that little brat up." Melissa said referring to the hyena clan successor.
"Still, don't go anywhere. A mating ceremony just took place. We don't know when the loners will strike again and make a fuss. We must be careful. The loners are not like the rest of us, they are pure evil at its finest." The crown prince said advising her not to go.
Few hours later, the after party finished. Receiving death glanced from the crown prince, Melissa signaled him that she was heading home. The crown prince knew she could not be trusted at all. Signaling one of the shifters, he glanced at Melissa asking that she be followed. But Melissa wasn't stupid.
Leaving the party, Melissa walked along the road knowing that she was being followed. It wasn't the first time that the crown prince had played such a move on her so she was fully aware of it. Turning into a wolf, Melissa howled loudly before a smile formed on her lips. They thought they could follow her?
Taking off, Melissa saw the shifter that had been following her take off following her. The two of them ran across the field raising sand at the speed they were running. Heading to the hyena's territory, Melissa ran as fast she could barely making it. Just as he was about to catch up with her, some hyenas tackled him to the ground.
"How did you think you were going to be catch up with me? Look at you. You are so skinny." Melissa said as she laughed loudly at the shifter.
" Senior sister, what should we do with him? If we let him go, he'll go back and tell crown prince." Melissa heard the hyena's clan successor say as he walked in.
Cats and dogs were natural enemies and each one was loyal to it's clan. Although the cat family had always been powerful, the dog family had been able to keep their heads up because of the crown prince's identity as a wolf. He was next in line to the throne and therefore, they had gained some respect.
" Just tie him up and keep him safely here. We can set him free the next day." Melissa said.
Just then, a hyena came in rushing to meet the hyena clan successor. He was out of breath and was obviously afraid.
"What happened? What did you do?" Melissa asked as she looked at the hyena clan successor.
