THE STORY

About The Secret of the Barren Alpha

Wolf tribe Alpha Kyle favors human girl Laila and dislikes her partner Luna Sela for appearing wolf like during sexual activity. She also falsely claims that Sela is infertile, but in reality, she is infertile herself. He pretended to be injured and tricked Sela into going to the snow capped mountains to search for snow lotus, while also belittling the safety of the tribe and pleasing Laila. After breaking up their affair, Sela's heart died. She stayed with the loyal warrior Jax and gave birth to a young child, deposing Kyle Alpha from his position. Kyle's character twisted after falling into despair and wandering to the human world, and he was eventually killed by the two cubs. Meanwhile, Sela and Jax lived peacefully together and multiplied their tribe.
