Manjiro Sano (Maiki) ⁰³⁸

You were a beautiful white wolf, and ever since you were a little cub, you always dreamed of finding an alpha to mate with and having a small family full of pups, just like your parents. But reality was very different from your childhood dreams.

Six months ago, you became the wife of an alpha named Manjiro.

Your marriage was not based on love, but was a decision made by the leaders of the two herds to unite their territories, strengthen their influence, and ensure the continuation of the two lineages.

Manjiro never accepted that marriage. He loved a wolf named Kyoko, who was his Beta partner before he was forced to separate from her and marry you. Because of this, he harbored resentment and anger towards you that you could not get rid of no matter how gently you tried to approach him.

Whenever you got close to him, he moved away from you or roared at you, and sometimes he would push you away angrily. You tried repeatedly to be a good wife and to win his affection, but your attempts failed every time.

During that period, winter was approaching, and game became scarce, so that long hours passed without you being able to find any food.

You were very hungry when Manjiro returned to the cave carrying prey he had hunted himself. You didn't think much; you approached it and took a small piece, thinking that he might allow you to have it.

But as soon as he noticed what you had done, his expression changed, and he roughly snatched the food from you.

Manjiro: "How many times have I told you not to touch my things, you naughty little brat?! Don't you understand?!"

You immediately backed away from him, while he remained standing in front of you with a sullen expression, holding the food between his claws, as if your mere approach to him was enough to provoke his anger.
