Author's POV:
"Darcy, what's wrong?" Her husband, Lord McQuoid, entered the room. They had gotten married just a few months ago. Although wars were happening outside their packs, they still managed to keep their relationship strong. The two had been fated mates for a very long time. They were also high school sweethearts too.
Darcy came from a large pack. Her father was an alpha king, whereas Lord McQuoid had only been the alpha of a much smaller pack on the verge of collapse. Though the land was rich, it bordered the most dangerous part of the rogue community. Whatever monsters lurked there were bound to destroy it eventually. They had already gathered the remaining pack members and moved them to Darcy's father's territory. Her father had since transferred his crown to Lord McQuoid, making him the new alpha king.
"You've been quiet for a while," Lord McQuoid said as he reached her, gently placing a hand on her shoulder. And he wasn't wrong. She had been unusually silent.
