Not Daddy Anymore, Just Alpha
Seven years ago, Fallon, the sole heir of the Northfall Kingdom, eloped for love, renouncing her throne. She hid her identity with Kellan, her savior, becoming a scorned "stray mate" among the Emberfang wolf pack. For seven years, she endured humiliation. Yet Kellan spent his days with his late brother’s widow Briar to seize power, letting the pack treat her and her five-year-old son Knox like servants and bastards. Publicly rejected on her son’s birthday and brutally beaten, Fallon’s heart died. She stopped holding back, awakened her royal blood power, and fled back to Northfall with Knox. When her father, the Alpha King, passed the crown to them, Kellan and the pack realized whom they had wronged. Kellan was forced to mark Briar, then stabbed by her; both died. The declining Emberfang pack begged for mercy but was refused. Fallon and Knox ascended, completing a sharp rise from disdained mate to supreme queen.
Story Guide
Episode 1
Fallon lies awake in the dark, waiting all night for Kellan to come home. When he finally slips into bed, the scent clinging to him says everything: roses — Briar's scent, the dead brother's widow and former Luna. He assumes Fallon was asleep, promises to make it up to her, and mentions Briar will understand. That careless line lands like a slap. Since when does her own mate need another woman's permission to be with her? To the rest of the Emberfang pack, Fallon is nothing but the shameless homewrecker who came between their future Alpha and his precious Luna.

Episode 2
Kellan steps out of the bathroom in just a towel, water still rolling down his chest — as handsome as the day they met. Fallon remembers seven years ago, when she was the rightful heir to the Alpha throne. She slipped out of the royal grounds to play, was ambushed by rogues, and Kellan saved her. He bled for her. For that love, she defied her father, gave up her birthright, hid her true identity, and ran away with him into the night. She never imagined their "forever" wouldn't even last seven years. He calls her over, oblivious to everything she's already lost.

Episode 3
No matter how hard Kellan scrubs, that sickly rose scent won't wash off. Fallon pushes him away — then a frantic knock interrupts. Briar has fallen ill, and Kellan rushes out, insisting Briar has no one but him. It's always the same excuse. His mother's one condition for making him Alpha was that the widowed Briar bear his heir, and now that duty has become his favorite reason to leave. Fallon smiles, and it's enough to send him running out the door — leaving her and their five-year-old son Knox behind again. But she has already discovered his secret: he plans to formally mark Briar at their ceremony. So she finally reaches out to the royal wolf she suppressed for seven years.

Episode 4
Reaching her family is easier than Fallon expected. Her father, Decklan, the Alpha King of Northfall, weeps when he sees her face and orders her to bring his grandson home at once. Fallon is ready to leave — until Knox mumbles in his sleep about the birthday his father promised to celebrate with him. Even in dreams, he clings to that promise. She strokes his cheek, holding back tears, and decides to give him two more days. But before dawn, a sharp knock shatters the silence: Vivian, Kellan's mother, has sent warriors to drag them to the main pack house.
Episode 5
Unlike Fallon, Knox is excited — he thinks his dad is finally bringing him home. Instead, they're shoved into the hall and met with contemptuous stares from the pack. Kellan hasn't been home all night; now he stands proudly beside Briar, his hand resting gently on her stomach. A declaration rings out: Briar is pregnant, Kellan will be the next Alpha of Emberfang, and their child will be the rightful heir. Soon Kellan and Briar will hold their marking ceremony. Beside Fallon, Knox's small hand tightens around her fingers as he whispers, asking what his daddy means — is he not his child?
Episode 6
The cruelty escalates fast. Vivian sneers that a lowly woman and her little mutt coveting the heir's position will only happen over her dead body. From now on, outsiders will be told the child is an orphan the pack took in — and Fallon is just the maid Kellan hired. Fallon already knew Vivian encouraged Briar to get pregnant, but this goes beyond anything she imagined. Knox protests that he isn't an orphan, that he has a mom and a dad. Then Kellan agrees to the plan. That single word becomes the final straw for their seven-year relationship.
Episode 7
Back home, Fallon's heart is full of sorrow. Knox is torn, not understanding what's happening, only that he holds two people in his heart. He asks if he's a bad kid, if Kellan doesn't want him anymore, if his mother is the only one left who loves him. Fallon reminds him that Grandpa Decklan and Grandma miss them and would take them in at Northfall. Still, Knox misses his daddy. Fallon tells him Vivian and Kellan won't give them a place anymore, and asks if he wants to live his whole life treated like an orphan. He accepts the hard truth, but makes one request: one last birthday with his dad.
Episode 8
Fallon's anger flares, and she's about to call Kellan again when a text arrives: come to the pack house. A faint hope flutters — maybe he's finally come to his senses. She and Knox go over. The moment she steps onto the grounds, every illusion shatters. This isn't a birthday meeting at all; it's Briar and Kellan's Luna announcement ceremony. Knox asks his daddy if they'll cut the birthday cake together. Instead, they're called a bastard child and rogue wanderers crashing the ceremony. Kellan nods along, and the last thread of hope in Fallon's heart vanishes — replaced by bone-deep chill and hatred.
Episode 9
Fallon snaps. She declares that Knox is not a bastard — he is her son, and his father is an Alpha far greater than the coward standing before them. The pack calls her a lying rogue and orders the warriors to teach her a lesson. Pain shoots through her flesh as they beat her. Knox screams, begging them to stop hurting his mother. Seven years of love, devotion, and sacrifice turn to ash in that moment, leaving only icy, bone-deep hatred. Fallon lifts her head and tells Kellan that since they don't belong here, they'll go.
If you love a good slow-burn revenge payoff, this one's worth hitting play on — watch Fallon stop waiting and start taking back everything she gave up.
