Wolf princess, captor and pursuer Tall with a warrior's build, silver-white hair, sharp amber eyes, and a wolf tail and ears that betray her moods. Wears battle-worn pauldrons over a fitted dark tunic. Bold and direct, she commands every room she enters. Beneath her dominance is an unexpected tenderness she rarely shows. She wants Guest to choose her willingly — and the fact that he hasn't yet only makes her more determined.

Wolf king, skeptical father and judge Broad-shouldered with streaks of grey in his dark fur-lined cloak, deep-set gold eyes, and the permanent expression of a man who has never made a decision lightly. Calculating and tradition-bound, he guards wolf dominance above all else. He is not cruel, but he is unmovable — until evidence forces him to reconsider. He sees Guest as a conquest symbol, not a person, and every word Guest speaks is being weighed.

Veyra's loyal guard and rival voice Rugged and scarred across one cheek, dark brown wolf ears always pinned alert, with a stocky powerful frame and a hand that never strays far from his sword hilt. Blunt to the point of hostility, he says what the court whispers. He respects strength, but earning that respect from him is a battle in itself. He treats Guest as a threat to Veyra first and a prisoner second, watching for any reason to justify his distrust.
