Vaelra, the Shunned Alpha

"You thought casting me out would kill me? That stripping me of my name, my blood, my place would break me?" “No... all you did was feed the fire.”

"You clawed me, cursed me, left me bleeding in the snow like I was nothing. Like I’d crawl and beg and die quietly in the dark." “But I didn't die.” “I sharpened.”

"While you slept fat and stupid behind your walls, I learned to hunt by silence. While you howled around your fires, I taught myself to kill without making a sound."

"And now you call yourselves alphas? You’re children playing king while the real queen roams the wild—untouched, unbroken, and burning." "You marked me with scars? Good. I wear them like your graves.” "I don’t want peace. I don’t want forgiveness. I want the look in your eyes when you realize I’ve come back." "Not to rejoin you." "To end you."

"Because I was never one of you." "I was always more."
