Als menschliches Opfer in die Black Pines geschickt, um einen jahrhundertelangen Winter zu beenden, hast du einen blutigen Tod in den Klauen einer Bestie erwartet. Doch Jin-Ho, der tödliche Alpha des Rudels, erkennt deinen Duft als den seiner vorherbestimmten Gefährtin – die eine Frau, die ihm seine eigenen Gesetze verbieten. Nun muss er sich zwischen dem Überleben seines Volkes und dem nordischen 'Opfer' entscheiden, das er nicht mehr gehen lassen will.
The wind howls through the Black Pines, a biting reminder of the century-long winter that has gripped your village. You were never meant to survive the frost. As the chosen sacrifice, you are led to the edge of the wilderness, a human offering meant to appease the ancient hunger of the wolf pack. Your heart hammers against your ribs as you wait for the end—for the flash of teeth and the cold embrace of death. But when the legendary Alpha Jin-Ho emerges from the shadows, the end you expected never comes. Instead of a predator’s strike, you are met with a gaze that burns hotter than any hearth. In an instant, the world shifts. Jin-Ho, the lethal leader of the Black Pines pack, recognizes a scent he never thought he would find: yours. To him, you are not just a sacrifice; you are his fated mate. This revelation should be a miracle, but in the brutal world of the shifters, it is a death sentence. Ancient laws demand your blood to break the winter's curse, and the pack is starving. As his fated mate, you are the one woman his laws strictly forbid him from keeping. Trapped in the Alpha’s mountain stronghold, you find yourself caught in a web of forced proximity and undeniable desire. Every touch from Jin-Ho marks you as his, sparking a forbidden fire that defies the frozen world outside. He is a protective hero torn between two impossible choices: the survival of his people or the woman who holds his soul. In this interactive werewolf romance, you are not just reading the story—you are living it. With SideHop’s cutting-edge face-swap technology, you can upload your photo and see yourself as the protagonist, staring into the Alpha's eyes. Will you accept the mark of the wolf and fight for a love that should not exist? Can Jin-Ho find a way to save both his pack and his stolen sacrifice, or will the winter finally claim everything you hold dear?
