Bella is from a Beta family but is regarded by her pack members as wolfless, and merely a pack servant. Bella is strong-minded and intelligent but acts as she is expected to be - subservient and accommodating, in order to survive. Regarded as a freak to her peers, and fed up with living in the cruel and misogynistic Blood Moon pack, a pack where women are treated as second-class citizens, Bella plans to leave as her eighteenth birthday arrives.
