LOGIN“There’s no way to kill Alpha Penking.” “Maybe there’s one, make sure he has absolute power, never bows to anyone but will crawl to her feet each time she wants it.” Amelia’s first life ended when she was ten—when the most notorious Alpha in New York took everything her father owned and killed him. As if that wasn’t enough, he coerced her father into selling his only daughter before death claimed him. Fifteen years later, Amelia survives as a prostitute, her past buried beneath layers of control, routine, and silence. She lives for two things only: keeping her younger brother alive and nursing the revenge that never died. Every alpha is just a body. Every night is calculated. Her life is controlled—until the night she sleeps with him. The same man who ruined her life. Alpha Penking—feared, untouchable, merciless—without her knowing who he truly is. Yet, her world shatters again. Because Penking knows her. Because he watched her grow in the shadows. Because he knows her real name. Because he is the one who ruined her and owned her. Because he serves her a contract that doesn’t ask—it commands. A contract where she belongs to him. For months. For life. No bargain. No gain. Trapped between hatred and a bond she never consented to, Amelia begins counting the only freedom she has left—ten ways to kill Alpha Penking. But revenge grows complicated when obsession turns mutual, when power bleeds into possession, and when an impossible consequence binds them forever. Because the man she plans to kill now owns her body… And the child growing inside her might decide who survives.

Because you believed change was possible. And you proved it. Every day.”Penking nodded. Didn’t trust his voice.A kid named Marcus. Sixteen. Angry eyes but soft underneath.He stood up. “I came here because I had nowhere else to go. My mom was using. My dad was gone. Courts sent me here as part of probation. I hated it.”Laughter from the crowd.“But Mr. Penking. He didn’t treat me like I was broken. Didn’t look at me like I was a case file. He looked at me like I was a person.” The kid’s voice steadied. “And nobody had done that in a long time. So. Thank you. For building this. For believing first. So we could lea

Let it sink in.“How does it feel?” Penking asked later.“Anticlimactic. I thought I’d feel more.”“Me too. I thought I’d feel. Relief. Victory. Something big. But mostly I just feel tired.”“Same.” She leaned against him. “Is it wrong that I feel sorry for him? Slightly?”“Viktor?”“He spent seven years planning this. Seven years of his life. And for what? He’s in prison. We’re still here.
The acquittal meant nothing to the public.Half the internet still believed Penking was guilty. Said the jury was bought. Said money always won. Said reformed criminals never really changed.Comments. Articles. Opinion pieces.All saying the same thing. That Amelia was naive. That she was complicit. That she’d helped a monster walk free.She stopped reading them after the third day.But the damage to Second Chances was real.Three major donors had pulled funding during the trial.

Rivera became the shadow over everything.Every week, Penking had to report. Every week, he came back more tense.“He’s pushing,” Penking said after the third meeting. “Asking about people I used to know. Suggesting I’m still involved in my old business.”“Are you?”“No. But he doesn’t believe me.”
The papers arrived the next day.Marcus reviewed them. “This is binding. Once you sign, Cullen has full control.”“I know.”“And you’re sure about this?”“No. But it’s the best option we have.”Marcus nodded. “Okay. I’ll witness the signature.”She signed.It felt like signing away a part of Penkin
