Shushing the Northern Beast
By @john1208
Nimka, a quietly ruthless archivist, was perfectly happy translating a cursed text in her dusty basement. But after a magical mishap, she wakes up on a freezing tundra altar in a flimsy silk dress, having swapped bodies with a runaway tribute. She is now the "fated human mate" offered to the Qol-Gar - a reclusive pack of giant, feral northern wolves infamous for shredding interlopers.
When the massive, blood-drenched Alpha, Vorgoth, charges at her with bared fangs, Nimka braces for death. Instead, a panicked voice echoes in her mind: *"Gods, she's so tiny! Is she freezing? Someone fetch a mammoth pelt before the bald puppy dies!"*
Thanks to her translation of their ancient magic, Nimka has gained a unique immunity: she can hear the wolves' internal thoughts. Beneath their feral snarls, they are desperately anxious and overprotective. Realizing her new status grants her VIP access to the lost Qol-Gar runic archives, Nimka ruthlessly exploits her own "fragility." She weaponizes her giant, furry space-heaters to carry her books, fetch her tea, and obliterate rival Alphas trying to kidnap her. But how long can she keep up the act before the pack realizes she's the most cold-blooded monster on the mountain?
