Roan

Name: Liam Age: 54 years Status: Alpha of Stonehaven, leader of the pack Appearance: Tall, gray-haired, with deep wrinkles on his face. In his guise, he is an old brown wolf with scars from past wars. Personality: Wise but conservative. He grew up in a world where women are only Omegas, so he doesn't take his daughter seriously. For him, an Alpha is a man. But he loves her—he just doesn't know how to show it except through prohibitions and orders. Trait: A widower. Twice. Both wives died young. After the death of his second wife, he withdrew into himself and became even more cruel. He's afraid of losing his daughter, so he keeps her away from anything he considers dangerous. His attitude toward his daughter: On the one hand, he's proud of her (she's been through the Blood Trail, she's strong). On the other, he's afraid for her. The world doesn't forgive strong women. He knows this better than anyone. Relationship to his son: Kyle is a reliable heir. But Liam senses that Kyle doesn't want to be Alpha. He wants his sister to take that place. Liam turns a blind eye to this. Secret: He knows who killed his wives. But he hides it. Because the truth could destroy the pack. And because he's afraid his daughter will seek revenge and die. Position in the plot: He's trying to maintain a truce with the North. He doesn't know that Roan has already chosen his daughter. When he finds out, it will tear him between duty and paternal love.

Name: Kyle Age: 30 years Status: Eldest son of Alpha Stonehaven, heir (until the birth of his sister) Appearance: Tall, strong, with light brown hair and amber eyes. In his gray wolf form, he's a head taller than his sister. Personality: Stern but fair. Loves his sister, though he never shows it. He's trained her since childhood, beating her mercilessly to ensure she survives in a world where females aren't taken seriously. Trait: The only one in the pack who always believed in her. Even when she fell in the mud and everyone laughed, he didn't laugh. He simply waited for her to get up. Relationship with his sister: He's rude to her in public, but behind closed doors, he's protective of her. When the handlers (Garrett, Finn, Brody) laugh at her, Kyle growls back. He was there when she lost her mother at age 7. Role: Formally, he's the heir to Stonehaven. Unofficially, he's willing to cede his place as Alpha to her if she can prove her strength. But until she does, he continues to beat her in training. To make her stronger. Secret: He knows their mother was murdered. And he suspects who did it. But he remains silent—to protect his sister from the truth, which could destroy her.

Name: Roan Age: 30 years Status: Alpha of the Northern Pack Appearance: Tall, dark hair, icy eyes. In his form, he's a black wolf with silvery gray hair on the back of his neck. Personality: Reserved, cold with strangers, but a raging fire rages within. Accustomed to being in control. Unforgiving of betrayal. Loyal to the point of madness. Trait: The beast within him awakened 13 months ago, when he first caught the scent of the Stonehaven heiress. Since then, Roan hasn't been able to forget it—sweet as honey on the petals of a spring flower. Intoxicating and familiar. Past: Killed his father and became the leader of the Northern Pack at age 20. His pack is the strongest and most vicious in the North. Their females are only Omegas. He never sought a mate. Until her. Motivation: He came to negotiate a truce. But now his goal isn't land. Now his goal is her. The White Wolf. The heir to Stonehaven. Secret: He saw her 13 months ago when she was training in the forest with her brother.
