PART I: HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

++o+ Kings Landing +o++

+o+ The Targaryen Pack +o+

"Daenerys, enough of your insolence! I am the alpha of this pack and you will yield to me!" Aerys Targaryen hisses coldly at his last remaining a child. "Get out of my sight, child! Not another word on this subject. Go!"

"In fact, all you, get out, clear the room," the Alpha screams across the room as all exit. The majority of the werewolves look frightened, even the ones that are guards, as they scurry out quickly. But not Daenerys, calm and collected while slowly walking out. Testing him of course.

Always testing him.

The child that was gifted with more fierceness and strength then the rest of his children combined. Which explains why the others have since perished, leaving him with only one heir. Leaving him with only one chance to save the Targaryen Pack.

This child was truly a force to be reckoned with.

His last surviving child - that was sadly just a female.

Finally alone to think, realizing his patience wearing very thin, he fights to control his rage. Time was of the essence, this plan was their last hope.

The Targaryen Pack, werewolf and masters of the dragons, is the most important house among the intricate balance kept by numerous werewolf packs across the kingdom. They could not fail.

The fates had been cruel to Aerys over the years. Betrothed to a female werewolf that detested him, their union had been hateful and cruel.

The three children she bore him were all forced upon her. They would only lie together for purposes of producing heirs. Which she had not wanted any part of.

Their first two sons, Rhaegar and Viserys have tragically died. Rhaegar as a young boy, killed by The Wildlings, the organized pack of rogue werewolves. Daenerys was just a toddler, she did not remember him. Viserys died last year, again the Wildlings were to blame. His idiot son could not stay away from the brothels or random whores, a Wildling with red wild hair had seduced him and then poisoned the future Alpha of the Targaryen pack.

The only solace was how the red-haired devil was made to suffer. Unspeakable things were done to her, barely kept alive so that her suffering could continue for days.

Thinking back to his dead wife, Rhaella had been the daughter of the Alpha from Pack Tyrell, the most beautiful she-wolf he had ever seen. The title she held until their own daughter, Daenerys, had been born, surpassing her mother in both strength and beauty.

They might have had a chance for happiness, or to at least avoid a lifetime of despair. If only she hadn't found him.

For thousands of centuries the traditions of the wolves relied on strength through the pairing of one to their fated mate through the mate-bond. It was less than five generations ago that the highest council met to review the devastating impact of a mate-less heir to a royal line.

Desperate time called for desperate measures. The unions of royal house to royal house was determined to trump the mate-bond. An Ordered-Mating was designed to save the royal lines while ensuring the highest possibility for a pack's survival.

The lovely Tyrell daughter had been ordained to the young Alpha of the most powerful pack, a destiny she had willingly agreed to. Her brothers were in their rightful place to rule the Tyrell pack, she was strong and ambitious – she wanted to fulfill her role as future Luna of the highest reigning pack. His princess Rhaella had been happy even.

Everything had been settled until fate stepped in the way. Targaryen werewolf soldiers sent to Highgarden to retrieve the Tyrell daughter, were the highest decorated warriors in all the lands.

It was during the voyage back to Kings Landing that the highest knight offered Rhaella his hand while assisting her into the carriage. It was an uncanny coincidence that he had previously removed his glove, it had accidentally ripped moments earlier and been discarded.

The moment their fingers touched, skin to skin, the mate bond revealed itself. In that moment Rhaella's heart and life belonged to her knight, and his to her. Their eyes widening, the knight placed his finger to his lips to encourage her silence.

The bonded werewolves knew that the Royal Targaryen family would never honor Rhaella's truemate bond over the Ordered-Mating that had been ordained. During the journey the couple was able to steal moments, as their love for each other only intensified. They planned to run away together, she could not bear the thought of a life without him. It was only rumored that the couple completed the mate bond during their first stolen night. Aerys knew it was true, as Rhaella had told him in great detail what an incredible lover her mate had been. To this day the thought enraged him.

They lovers were ultimately caught, the young Alpha was furious and humiliated. The couple dragged to Kings Landing to face judgement. Aerys can still remember his bride's screams, begging for mercy of her beloved knight, her mate. Her cries were in vain, only spurring the Alpha's cruelty further. No one crosses a dragon and survives.

The Tyrell daughter was locked in the highest tower, with a sealed window, so that she could watch. Her knight was convicted of treason, and brutally tortured before being beheaded by the dragon that belonged to her betrothed. Her knight's torture continued for a full day, her screams of agony echoing through the upper levels of the castle.

After a period of solitude and waiting, to ensure Rhealla was not pregnant with her dead lover's child, the Ordered-Mating proceeded. The young Alpha had come up with ways to torment her, not allowing her to see the sun or run outside during her waiting, which was excruciating to her inner wolf. The union was dysfunctional and cruel, the Alpha and Luna never found peace or mutual ground.

It was because of Rhealla and her knight, it was written into law that once the true mate-bond of a high born was found…they would be ordered to death.

The werewolf bond is only discovered through physical, flesh to flesh contact. To avoid complications young werewolves that will likely need to marry for position and power and forbidden to touch a werewolf of the opposite sex.

The warning to young nobles was clear, you may find your great love, only to cost them their life in the most brutal way.

Replaying the heated argument with his only daughter, he knew she would eventually yield for the sake of her pack. Aerys gave the order: send the raven, the princess Daenerys has accepted the terms of the Ordered-Mating. They are to send us her groom within one fortnight's time.

+++o+++

Dany shook with rage as she paced through the castle, fantasizing about running away. She is the only heir, she knows that Drogon would allow her to ride him and they could just run away. Away from Red Keep, away from Kings Landing, away from her future Alpha.

What a cruel joke! She is the one that was raised in the capital. She has Targaryen blood running through her veins. She has trained as a warrior since she was old enough to walk. But now, she will be forced to marry the second son of an Alpha.

Turning to an empty corridor Dany finally stops to lean her back against the cold stone of the wall. Feeling the tension in her shoulders she slowly breathes in and out to calm herself.

Her mother's words ringing in her ears:

It is unnatural, an abomination against what sets us apart from the dogs. The werewolf mate-bond is what makes us stronger. Uniting with our one fated love. Producing blessed children that are strong and noble.

You must resist my beautiful daughter, you should be safe as your older brother will carry the burden of forwarding the Targaryen line. Thank goodness you are not the first born.

Dany frowns sadly, it was one of the last conversations she ever had with her mother before she died from illness. Her mother had always been fragile and tired. Blaming it on the death of her beloved mate, with whom the mate-bond had been sealed.

Scowling, Dany knows that she will never leave her home. She was raised to rule, and rule she must.

Even if she does have to tolerate some ill-bred that thinks he is going to be Alpha.

We will see about that! Dany thinks with a smile.

Slipping off her dress she decides to go for a run. Dany has never had an issue with her nudity, much to her father's dismay. She welcomes the transformation pain that comes as her inner wolf is released. She is truly a magnificent specimen, although tiny and petite when in human form - - when she releases her inner wolf she morphs into the most powerful female she-wolf ever seen in this kingdom. A true transformation, only her violet eyes remaining. Every trace of her silver hair hidden as her wolf's fur is raven black.

She once heard the prophet say she is a ferocious wolf as she was conceived in hate. It was well known that her mother was never willing to lie with the Alpha. It was a duty that she detested.

As Dany runs ferociously through her lands, for the first time she feels dread.

It will be her duty to produce her Ordered-Mate an heir.

Damned it, she scowls.
