Freya, a royal of the Kels clan, defied her family long ago to marry Ragnar, an ordinary werewolf, and gave birth to their daughter Nora. Pressured by his mother and Celeste, Ragnar feigned comfort toward Freya for power over the wolf pack and formed a mating bond with Celeste. On the night of Nora's fifth birthday, mother and daughter were lured to a ritual site and publicly humiliated. Heartbroken, Freya cut all ties with Ragnar and returned to the royal house with Nora. Ragnar was consumed by regret afterward and searched everywhere for them. After losing her child, Celeste assassinated Ragnar before taking her own life. Years later, Ragnar found his way to the Kels throne hall and begged for reconciliation. Yet Freya and Nora already held royal authority. They coldly severed the past and drew a final line with him forever.
