Rejected By The Alpha That Buried Me Alive.
Christina Black, a wolfless omega at the bottom of her pack’s hierarchy, discovers she’s the true mate of Alpha Kael Moore only to be publicly rejected and replaced by Caitlin Pierce, the ambitious daughter of a rival alpha. When Christina is falsely accused of treason and buried alive on Caitlin’s orders, she awakens with Kyros, an ancient alpha wolf seeking vengeance for his murdered master.
Years later, Christina returns as the powerful Beta of Ebonridge Pack, no longer the broken omega Kael discarded. At a royal summit, their paths collide again but Riverstone is cursed, its wolves silenced by an unexplained plague. The only cure: justice for the injustice committed against Christina.
Forced to make her his co-alpha or watch his pack die, Kael surrenders his throne. But as Christina rules beside the mate who betrayed her, old feelings resurface alongside new dangers. When a deadly attack, kidnapping, and Caitlin’s final revenge threaten everything, Christina must choose between the past that buried her and the future she’s fought to claim all while discovering that some bonds are too ancient to break, even by death.
A dark tale of betrayal, transformation, and the razor-thin line between vengeance and forgiveness.

Chapter: Chapter thirty sevenChristina’s POVThey came at dawn.Not attacking.Just… arriving.I stood at the territory border, watching them emerge from the forest. Fifty wolves spread across the tree line. Organized. Disciplined. Confidence.Behind me, our wolves waited in formation.Kael stood slightly to my right. Close enough to support. Far enough to show I led.Finn and Sera flanked the formation. Caleb stood farther back present but protected.The visual was intentional.I was the center.Not by force.By choice.The approaching wolves stopped thirty feet away.A smaller group separated from the main force. Five wolves. All radiating authority.Different scents. Different energies. Different packs.This wasn’t a single alpha.This was a delegation.The center wolf stepped forward first. Older. Gray streaked his dark fur when he shifted back to human form. Calm eyes. Calculating.“So,” he said. Voice measured. “You’re the one.”Not hostile. Not respectful.Evaluating.I didn’t respond immediately.Just hel

Chapter: Chapter thirty sixChristina’s POVWinning didn’t end anything.It exposed them.Three days since Vax’s exile. The pack was rebuilding. Walls repaired. Wounded healing. Routines forming.But something felt different.Not wrong exactly.Just… waiting.Wolves moved through the compound with purpose, but their eyes kept drifting to the forest. Guards rotated more frequently. Patrols reported back faster.Everyone was watching.Not each other anymore.What was outside.I stood at the western perimeter, studying the tree line.Nothing visible.But I felt it anyway.*They’re out there,* Kyros said quietly.“I know.”*Watching. Measuring.*“I know that too.”Kael appeared beside me. “Scout just returned. Northern border.”“And?”“More of them. At least three different groups now.”My jaw tightened. “Organized?”“Yes. Different scents. Different packs.” He paused. “They’re not hiding, Christina. They want us to know they’re there.”“How many total?”“Twenty. Maybe more. Spread across the borders.”Not an attack

Chapter: Chapter thirty fiveChristina’s POVThis wasn’t about winning.It was about ending something.The battlefield was silent now. Bodies buried. Smoke fading. Wolves moved through the grounds slowly, carefully, like they weren’t sure what came next.Because they weren’t.I stood near the main hall, watching. The alpha platform where Caleb’s father used to stand, where Vax had claimed authority sat empty.No one approached it.No one knew who should.Kael appeared beside me. “They’re waiting.”“I know.”“For you.”“I know that too.”Around us, wolves moved without clear direction. Guards patrolled but their routes were uncertain. Supply distribution happened but slowly, inefficiently.The system had collapsed.And nothing had replaced it yet.Finn approached, exhaustion lining his face. “We need to organize patrols. Assign guard rotations. Figure out resource distribution.”“So do it,” I said.He blinked. “I… need authorization.”“From who?”“From…” He trailed off. Look at me.I shook my head. “I’m not giving

Chapter: Chapter thirty fourChristina’s POVHe’s not leading anymore.He’s holding on.The reports came in steadily throughout the morning. Vax’s wolves were fracturing. Some defect to our side. Others are going rogue, dangerous, unpredictable.His control was collapsing.But a cornered animal was still dangerous.Maybe more dangerous.I stood in the strategy room, studying the map. Red markers showing Vax’s last known positions. Fewer than before. Concentrated.Desperate.Kael appeared beside me. “Three more defectors overnight. They say Vax is barely holding it together.”“That’s when he’s most dangerous.”“I know.” Kael pointed to a cluster of red markers. “He’s pulled everyone back to the central territory. Fortified position.”“Or trap.”“Probably both.”Finn burst in, face pale. “We have a problem.”My stomach dropped. “What?”“Vax took Sarah. The healer.”Everything went cold.“When?”“Two hours ago. Pre-dawn raid. Fast. Surgical.” Finn’s jaw was tight. “He left a message.”He handed me a note.I unfolded

Chapter: Chapter thirty threeChristina’s POVThis wasn’t about winning.This was about catching what shouldn’t be there.Night had fallen. The false convoy moved through the eastern corridor exactly as planned.Six wolves. Two vehicles. Supplies marked as critical.All bait.I watched from a concealed position fifty yards away. Kael beside me. Finn coordinating backup teams in the shadows.Everything is too precise. Too clean.Exactly what we wanted.*Patience,* Kyros said. *Let them expose themselves.*“I know.”The convoy reached the checkpoint. Guards rotated. Movement synchronized.Professional.Almost too professional.Kael tensed beside me. “There.”I followed his gaze.One guard Marcus, not the young Marcus, a different one shifted slightly out of position. Subtle. Deliberate.Opening a sight line.“That’s our traitor,” Kael said quietly.Before I could respond, movement erupted from the tree line.Vax’s wolves.Hitting exactly where the false plan said they would.Perfect timing.Perfect positioning.Conf

Chapter: Chapter thirty twoChristina’s POVThis wasn’t fear anymore.This was something hiding in plain sight.Three days since the hostage rescue. The pack moved through routines. Guards rotated. Patrols ran. Wounded healed.Everything looked functional.But something was off.I felt it in the way wolves moved. Slightly tense. Watchful.Not of external threats.Of each other.Patrols shifted routes unexpectedly. Conversations stopped when I approached. Eyes tracked movement too carefully.The pack was eating itself from the inside.Paranoia, Kyros observed. Or wisdom?“Both.”I stood at the western perimeter, watching guards change shifts. Their movements were crisp. Professional.Too professional.Like they were being watched.Finn appeared beside me. “We have a problem.”“Another one?”“The supply run was intercepted. Eastern route.”My jaw tightened. “Casualties?”“Two wounded. Three captured.” He paused. “Vax knew exactly where they’d be.”“That route was classified. Inner circle only.”“I know.”We stared

Chapter: Chapter twelveZara’s POV I made it three steps down the corridor before I heard him behind me.Not following. Just a present. The specific quality of stillness that meant he was watching me walk away and had decided not to stop me yet.Yet.I kept moving. I pushed through the side door into the narrow passage between the dressing rooms and the back exit and stood there for exactly four seconds with my back against the wall and my eyes closed and my breathing doing something I needed to correct before I walked back into a room with other people in it.Tomorrow, he said.One word. All the weight in the world.I pushed off the wall and went to fix my makeup.Mikela was the only one left in the dressing room.She looked at my face in the mirror and said nothing for a long moment. Then “Are you good?”“Fine.”“You look like someone who just had a conversation they weren’t ready for.”“I’m fine, Mikela.”She handed me a makeup wipe without being asked and went back to her own reflection. That was what

Chapter: Chapter elevenZara’s PovHe was already too close when I turned around.I hadn’t heard him move. One moment there was distance between us and the next there wasn’t just Adrian in the narrow space between the dressing room corridor and the back exit, one hand flat against the wall beside my head, not touching me, not threatening me, just present. Immovable. The specific closeness of a man who had decided the usual rules of distance no longer applied.The bass from the main floor moved through the walls like a pulse.“You weren’t going to tell me you were here tonight,” he said.Not a question.“I work here,” I said. Pinky’s voice. Low, unbothered, completely assembled. “I don’t announce my shifts.”“You saw me arrive.”“I see a lot of people arrive.”His eyes moved across my face with that slow, surgical attention that had been quietly taking me apart for weeks. The amber light from the corridor caught the line of his jaw, the steadiness of him, the particular quality of stillness that meant he wa

Chapter: Chapter tenZara’s PovI turned around slowly.Pinky was gone. I had walked out of VIP three and left her on the other side of the door and now it was just me in the corridor with the bass bleeding through the walls and Adrian standing in the doorway behind me with his hands loose at his sides and that quiet, certain look on his face.I turned around slowly.“I don’t know what you mean,” I said.My voice was steady. I was quietly amazed by that.“Yes you do.” He stepped into the corridor. Not aggressive just closing the distance the way he closed all distances. Like space between them was a problem he had decided to solve. “I’ve been to every restaurant in a four block radius of here, Zara. None of them match what you’ve described.”The floor shifted slightly under my feet.He checked.I kept my face neutral. “I never told you which block.”“No.” His eyes held mine. “You didn’t.”The silence lasted three seconds.I filled it first because filling it was better than letting him watch me calculate

Chapter: Chapter eightZara’s PovI sat on the edge of my bed and stared at my hands.Clean. No makeup. No performance. Just Zara at two in the afternoon with three hours before she had to become someone else and absolutely no idea how to get through them.I had an assignment open on my laptop that I hadn’t touched in forty minutes. A half-eaten sandwich on the nightstand going stale. Kofi’s voice downstairs on a phone call, low and careful in the way that meant he didn’t want to be heard.Normal. Everything was supposed to be normal.Except when I closed my eyes I couldn’t separate them anymore.That was the problem that had been growing since last night and had fully arrived by morning.Adrian in the VIP chair still, focused, his hand stopping just short of my face. Adrian in my kitchen leaning against the counter, watching me reach past him, noting every micro-reaction with those dark patient eyes.The same eyes.The same quality of attention.The way he looked at Pinky and the way he looked at Zara wer

Chapter: Chapter sevenZara’s PovI was still awake at three in the morning.Not thinking. Just existing in that particular exhaustion that sat too heavy for sleep lying on top of my covers still half dressed, staring at the ceiling while the city did whatever the city did after midnight.Next time I won’t ask.I pressed the back of my hand against my mouth and made myself breathe through it.He hadn’t touched me. That was the thing I kept returning to: he hadn't touched me and somehow that was worse than if he had. The almost-contact. The deliberate stop. The way he had looked at me afterward like the restraint itself was a message.You feel familiar.I sat up and went to the bathroom mirror.Half my makeup was still on. One eye dramatic and sharp, the other scrubbed clean. Pinky on one side. Zara on the other hand. I stood there looking at the split version of myself for a long moment.He’s getting closer, I thought. And you have no more room to give.I finished removing the makeup and went to bed.I di
