LOGINAlex Heart was never meant to be seen… at least, not like this. Scarred, betrayed, and stripped of her title, the former Masked Warrior of the East is thrust into the cruel spotlight when her own fiancé tears off her mask in front of the entire realm. Rejected, humiliated, and falsely accused of the fire that killed her parents, Alex walks away with nothing but her pride and pain intact. But fate isn’t done with her yet. When she collapses on the cold steps of the Lycan King’s estate, it’s not death that meets her, it’s Adrian Frost. Powerful, mysterious, and utterly captivating. Where others see her scars, Adrian sees a survivor. And he’s not letting her disappear. Drawn into a web of political intrigue, bloodlines, and betrayal, Alex must confront not just her past, but the parts of herself she buried long ago. And as the bond between her and Adrian deepens, so does the danger. In a world where loyalty can’t be trusted and love is a dangerous game, will Alex risk opening her heart again... or let it harden for good?

For one second, your useless life had the opportunity to actually mean something, and what did you go ahead and do?” “I… I didn't expect that woman to be there” she frantically blurts. “...and even if I did, how was I supposed to know she'd come up with a solution to fix everything? Was that even part of what you got me for? How is this my fault?”/FLICK/My eyes snap open the moment she lets the words down her mouth, and I lean off the door to stand straight up.“Come again?”

MASONApart from the finance department, the record department is the most confidential one in the entire organisation. Only two people are granted access in here — the two people that make up the department in the first place. Salvatore and I.“It’ll only be an hour” I remember murmuring to Aurora before I entered. It's been almost four now, and Salvatore and I have been locked in a tuh of war battle with processing the documents for our expansion. “The Mendez Files from the land approval. I've still not seen a thing. Any luck on your side?” I hear him call out. “I told you we should've computed those things instead of leaving it in physical form.

MASON For some reason, I'd thought only the Alphas of Namora would be attending this meeting. Annual meetups like this usually take place in the study room, and for a pack as big as the Blue Roses, I was already prepared to bathe in the luxury and splendor of Felix's perfectly designed manor. The
ALEXI wasn't born with these scars on my face. Before the “masked warrior”, or a life treated as a weapon that the Blood Moon Pack used at will, I was as normal as any prospective Luna waiting to dangle in the arms of love. My sister and I were trained as royals from the very start. Tight schedu
