As the human world crumbles, replaced by the dominance of supernatural creatures-werewolves, vampires, and demons-only a few cities survive as humanity's last refuge. Lycandor, the powerhouse of the werewolves, is the symbol of the new unshakable power, led by Fenrir Bloodfang, a feared and revered alpha. The city of werewolves is led by Fenrir Bloodfang, the legendary alpha who rules the land with power and fear. Within the black walls of Lycandor, humans are mere pawns, subject to a power game they never understood. Sigrid realizes that revenge is no longer her only game. The dark secrets hidden within Lycandor begin to unfold, shaking not only Sigrid, but also the power of the alpha. In a world where men are prey and power is determined by blood, Sigrid must fight monsters outside-and within herself. But how to fight destiny when she finds herself part of it herself? "Fangs and Fire: Vows of Vengeance" is a story of power, vengeance, and betrayal in a world colored by blood and the moon. Is Sigrid's vengeance strong enough to destroy Fenrir-or is it the turning point of her destiny?

Chapter 1 Prolog : The Destruction of the Human City

Flames raged wildly, lighting up the thick night in the middle of the dark forest. The small town of Vardhall, one of the few remaining human cities, was now being destroyed by a horde of beasts. Screams split the air, mixed with long, haunting howls - a sign that a werewolf pack had invaded.

Amidst the panic, a well-built man with a crossbow in his hand ran amongst the crowd. He was Harald, one of the town guards and a common farmer, who was now trying to protect his family.

"Run! Protect Sigrid!" he shouted to his wife, Astrid, who was tightly hugging an eight-year-old little girl, Sigrid Valkyrie. Sigrid's clear blue eyes stared at the horror around her, her body trembling in her mother's arms.

Astrid turned around with a terrified face. "Harald, you can't fight them alone! We have to go together!"

"If I don't hold them off, we all die!" Harald replied loudly, but behind his voice was the desperation he tried to hide.

Astrid knew she couldn't argue. She looked down, grasping Sigrid's hand tightly. "Stay close to Mommy, Sigrid. Don't let go of Mommy's hand, no matter what."

At the edge of town, the great wooden gate had collapsed. A pack of werewolves with dark gray skin and sharp teeth rushed in, tearing apart anyone they encountered. In front of them stood an alpha werewolf, his body much larger than the others. His fur was pitch black, his eyes glowing red like burning coals. It was Fenrir Bloodfang, the leader of the night hunters.

Fenrir stepped slowly between the flames and ruins, his wide smile revealing rows of sharp teeth. "Weak humans..." he murmured lowly, his voice heavy as the rumble of a storm. "Today, you will all become part of a forgotten history."

One by one, the city guards who dared to fight him fell. None were strong enough to stand up to the alpha werewolf. With one swing of his claws, the last wooden wall in the center of the city collapsed, paving the way for his army to continue the massacre.

Harald continued to lead his family through the fire- and debris-filled streets. His hand tightly gripped an old bow, while behind him, Astrid tried to keep Sigrid moving.

However, their steps came to a halt when a large figure appeared in the middle of the street. Fenrir stood there, staring at them with a deadly gaze. The other two werewolves were beside him, howling ferociously.

"SURRENDER OR DIE." Fenrir's voice sounded like an explosion, echoing throughout the silent city. "Give me the girl, and I might just let you live."

Astrid gasped. She clutched Sigrid to her body, protecting her daughter as if it was the only thing that mattered in the world. "W-Why are you after her?" her voice trembled, but her eyes looked hateful.

Fenrir smirked, lowering his head to almost Astrid's level. "That girl... She smells special. A smell that only the chosen possess. I will take her, whether you hand her over or not."

"YOU WILL NOT TOUCH MY GIRL, BASTARD!" Harald advanced, raising his bow with trembling hands. He knew that the odds were slim, but he had to try.

Fenrir let out a long breath, then stepped forward casually. "Human courage is admirable. Too bad it's never enough."

Father and Mother's Sacrifice

Fenrir continued to stride forward, his massive claws gripping the blood-soaked ground. Harald held his breath, his body tense, the hand gripping the bow trembling. He knew very well that his arrow probably wouldn't hurt an alpha this powerful. However, he would not let his family be taken without a fight.

"ASTRID! NOW!" shouted Harald, turning his body briefly to signal. He released one arrow towards Fenrir. It whizzed by, but only grazed the alpha's shoulder, making him flinch momentarily.

Astrid didn't think twice. She hugged Sigrid tightly and pulled her toward a small path at the side of the ruins. "Sigrid, listen to Mommy. We have to go now!" Her frantic whisper echoed in the child's ears.

"BUT DAD!" Sigrid cried, trying to release her mother's hold, but Astrid tightened her grip even more.

"YOUR FATHER WILL BE OK!" cried Astrid in a tone that tried to sound firm, even as her tears began to fall. She knew it was a lie. However, she couldn't let her daughter lose hope.

Meanwhile, Harald ran towards Fenrir, taking a silver dagger from his belt. He lashed out with everything he had, swinging the dagger towards Fenrir's neck. However, Fenrir moved too fast. With one blow, Harald's body was thrown backwards, hitting the stone wall.

"How ridiculous," Fenrir hissed, pulling out the arrow in his shoulder without any pain. "You really think that a little human like you can stop me?"

Harald coughed up blood, but he forced himself to his feet. "I may not be able to... but I'll make sure you don't get what you want."

Fenrir's eyes narrowed. "In vain." He leapt forward with incredible speed, clawing at Harald's chest with deadly force. Blood spurted, and Harald's body fell to the ground. But even so, Harald smiled slightly, knowing that he had given his family time.

On the other side, Astrid led Sigrid to a basement in the ruins of their old home. Quickly, she opened a trap door hidden under the wooden floor and lowered her daughter into it.

"Sigrid," Astrid held her daughter's face in both hands. Her eyes were teary, but her voice was full of compassion. "You must stay here, no matter what happens. Don't come out until things calm down. Understand?"

"B-But Mom, I'm scared..." Sigrid sobbed, holding her mother's hand tightly.

Astrid leaned down and gently kissed Sigrid's forehead. "I know. But you're a strong girl, Sigrid. Stronger than you think. Mommy will come back. I promise."

Sigrid couldn't say anything else. She just cried as she watched her mother close the trap door from above. The sound of Astrid's steps moving away grew faint, accompanied by howls that grew closer.

Astrid returned to the main road, drawing the attention of the werewolves on purpose. She yelled at the top of her lungs, throwing burning wood shards at the approaching pack.

"HEY, HERE! I'M HERE!" she shouted. The werewolves turned around and immediately chased after her, leaving the area where Sigrid was hiding.

Fenrir, who had been observing Harald's lifeless body, looked up and grinned when he saw Astrid running. "Brave, I like that."

Astrid kept running, leading the herd away. She knew she wouldn't be back, but for Sigrid's sake, she was willing to be bait. At the end of the dark hallway, her screams echoed before disappearing into silence.

The atmosphere in the city slowly began to subside. Smoke filled the air, the howls of the werewolves grew farther away, and the sounds of battle were replaced with an eerie silence. In the dark basement, Sigrid gripped her knees tightly, her body trembling, waiting for her mother to return. But all that came was silence. In her little heart, she knew her mother would not return.

For seventeen years, I was the crown jewel of the Kensington empire, the perfect daughter groomed for a royal future. Then, a cream-colored envelope landed in my lap, bearing a gold crest and a truth that turned my world into ice. The DNA test result was a cold, hard zero percent-I wasn't a Kensington. Before the ink could even dry, my parents invited my replacement, a girl named Alleen, into the drawing room and treated me like a trespasser in my own home. My mother, who once hosted galas in my honor, wouldn't even look me in the eye as she stroked Alleen's arm, whispering that she was finally "safe." My father handed me a one-million-dollar check-a mere tip for a billionaire-and told me to leave immediately to avoid tanking the company's stock price. "You're a thief! You lived my life, you spent my money, and you don't get to keep the loot!" Alleen shrieked, trying to claw the designer jacket off my shoulders while my "parents" watched with clinical detachment. I was dumped on a gritty sidewalk in Queens with nothing but three trunks and the address of a struggling laborer I was now supposed to call "Dad." I traded a marble mansion for a crumbling walk-up where the air smelled of exhaust and my new bedroom was a literal storage closet. My biological family thought I was a broken princess, and the Kensingtons thought they had successfully erased me with a payoff and a non-disclosure agreement. They had no idea that while I was hauling trunks up four flights of stairs, my secret media empire was already preparing to move against them. As I sat on a thin mattress in the dark, I opened my encrypted laptop and sent a single command that would cost my former father ten million dollars by breakfast. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves, but they forgot one thing: I'm the one who leads the pack.

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.

I was finally brought back to the billionaire Vance estate after years in the grimy foster system, but the luxury Lincoln felt more like a funeral procession. My biological family didn't welcome me with open arms; they looked at me like a stain on a silk shirt. They thought I was a "defective" mute with cognitive delays, a spare part to be traded away. Within hours of my arrival, my father decided to sell me to Julian Thorne, a bitter, paralyzed heir, just to secure a corporate merger. My sister Tiffany treated me like trash, whispering for me to "go back to the gutter" before pouring red wine over my dress in front of Manhattan's elite. When a drunk cousin tried to lay hands on me at the engagement gala, my grandmother didn't protect me-she raised her silver-topped cane to strike my face for "embarrassing the family." They called me a sacrificial lamb, laughing as they signed the prenuptial agreement that stripped me of my freedom. They had no idea I was E-11, the underground hacker-artist the world was obsessed with, or that I had already breached their private servers. I found the hidden medical records-blood types A, A, and B-a biological impossibility that proved my "parents" were harboring a scandal that could ruin them. Why bring me back just to discard me again? And why was Julian Thorne, the man supposedly bound to a wheelchair, secretly running miles at dawn on his private estate? Standing in the middle of the ballroom, I didn't plead for mercy. I used a text-to-speech app to broadcast a cold, synthetic threat: "I have the records, Richard. Do you want me to explain genetics to the press, or should we leave quietly?" With the "paralyzed" billionaire as my unexpected accomplice, I walked out of the Vance house and into a much more dangerous game.
