Alpha's Wild Chess Piece

After being cast out of the Sichuan Werewolf Academy, the rebellious young wolf Julian Zhao Xin had no choice but to live with his clueless stepmother, Bai Lan, while his father, Shi Diwen, the respected Pack Leader of the Iron Fang Clan, led missions deep into the wild territories of Yunnan. Things only got worse when Julian found out Bai Lan was moving them back to her old hometown — a quiet village surrounded by thick bamboo forests and hidden mountain trails. Julian couldn't wait to be free. The full moons were drawing near, and with each passing night, the call of the wild inside him grew louder. The last thing he needed was to get dragged into small-town pack politics and someone else's family problems. Meanwhile, Venus Lin Yue had her own battles. She had learned the hard way that wolves she cared about could leave without a second glance. She had poured everything into becoming the best healer and doctor in her pack, studying medicine under the strict supervision of Zhao Wei, the village's elder medic. Winning the scholarship to the National Werewolf Medical Academy in Kunming was her dream, her ticket to a better life beyond the mountains. But her path shattered when her boyfriend, Gao Tianyu, the pride of their village and once a trusted future alpha, betrayed their trust by joining a rival pack from the Black River Clan. His defection weakened their pack's honor, leaving Venus humiliated and lost. Now, Venus needed a new plan. She needed strength, allies — and maybe even the help of a wolf who didn't believe in rules or loyalty to anyone but himself: Julian Zhao Xin. Julian was trouble. Everyone in the village could see it. His aura was wild, his golden eyes rebellious, and during the first full moon after his arrival at his stepmother's small village, he shifted alone under the pale light, refusing to join the pack's sacred ritual under the Stone Moon Shrine. Even the Beta, Li Tao, and warriors like Chen Feng, Wang Yu, and Sun Lei kept their distance. The High Elder, Gao Wen, warned Venus. "A lone wolf like Julian will bring nothing but chaos. Be careful, Lin Yue." But Venus wasn't afraid of chaos anymore. Chaos was already inside her. If she wanted to heal others beyond the village, to leave behind the betrayals and broken promises, she had to risk everything — even her pride — by trusting a wild wolf like Julian. Maybe, together, they could stand against whatever fate had plans.
