LOGINSold for scraps.Saved by a monster. Destined to rule them all. Faith is a “Dud”, a wolfless orphan living in the shadows of the trenches. Treated as a servant by her own family, she hides a mind more brilliant than any Alpha’s instinct. But in the process of winning a life-changing scholarship, she is betrayed. Drugged and sold to traffickers by her own aunt, Faith thought her life was over —until she falls from a third-story window and lands on the hood of a car that belongs to the most dangerous man in the country. Killian Nightshade. Billionaire. Alpha of the Blackwood Pack. A man who rules with ice in his veins and power in his hands. Killian doesn't do favors. He makes investments. He claims Faith as his “Personal Shadow” to work off the debt of his ruined car. But as he forces her into the shark-infested waters of the North Elite Academy, he finds himself breaking his own rule: Never get attached to the help. While Faith battles ruthless bullies and the predatory interest of Killian’s rival, Silas, a twenty-year-old secret begins to stir in her blood. She isn't just a Dud. She is a legend. And when the girl who was sold for scraps finally shifts, the entire werewolf world will have to decide: Will they bow to their new Queen, or be burned by her fire?

Faith sat by the large window in her dressing room, a sleek black pen hovering slightly over a piece of parchment. The paper was still empty, but her mind was completely flooded with memories. She looked down at the silver-polymer ring on her left hand, taking a deep breath to steady her racing heart. How did she get here? Just a few years ago, her life was a living nightmare. She remembered the cold, dark rooms of her Aunt Sarah’s house. She remembered the heavy blows, the cruel words, and the absolute misery of being treated like nothing more than a slave. She remembered the sheer terror of the day her wicked aunt decided to package her up and sell her off to dangerous traffickers. She closed her eyes, vividly remembering the adrenaline pumping through her veins as she broke free from the traffickers’ vehicle right inside the heavily guarded gates of a massive estate. Desperate, bleeding, and cornered, she had made a blind, terrifying leap from a high marble balcony, landing heav
With the wedding just forty-eight hours away, the outer gates of the Nightshade estate looked like a high-society festival. Large, luxurious transport vehicles from the southern cities and western plains lined the driveway. Important leaders and wealthy high-society guests were arriving in waves, carrying beautifully wrapped boxes, rare crystals, and priceless family heirlooms to gift the couple ahead of the big day.Inside the grand ballroom, the atmosphere was a mix of hard work and hilarious bickering.“Move that flower arrangement three inches to the left, tech boy,” Marcus ordered, carrying three heavy wooden tables across the floor like they weighed nothing.Leo stopped, holding a glowing digital blueprint tablet, and shot Marcus a glare. “First of all, it’s Mr. Tech Genius to you. Secondly, my alignment is mathematically perfect. Go flex your muscles somewhere else and let me handle the aesthetics.”Hope stood on a stepladder nearby, hanging delicate white silk drapes from the
The wedding was only days away, and the house was buzzing.Faith spent the early hours of the morning going to pick up her wedding dress. When she finally tried it on at the boutique, she stared at herself in the mirror, a soft smile playing on her lips. It was a beautiful white gown that hugged her nice figure perfectly, making her feel like a real bride instead of a soldier for the first time in her life.Later that afternoon, Faith walked onto the grounds of the Academy. The institution was officially hers now, a symbol of the new era they had built. As she walked through the central courtyard to address the students and staff, the entire crowd went dead silent. They were completely stunned by her graceful presence. She wasn't the rugged, wounded girl who had fought in the trenches anymore; she was a glowing, powerful leader who carried herself with absolute dignity.“We survived the dark,” Faith told the quiet crowd, her natural brown eyes shining with light. “This Academy is no l
Faith’s world returned with sharp and painful edges First, the rusted metal smell, and the sharp, metallic tang of fear. Then, a heavy vibration rattled through her skull. She tried to move her hands, but her wrists were tied.She wasn't in the basement. She was in the back of a moving van.Faith’
The soapy water was grey, lukewarm, and smelled of bleach, a scent that Faith had to endure. At five in the morning, the bungalow was silent.Faith wiped her sweat and tied up her hair to stopIt from falling over her forehead; her knees ached. This was her life in the “trenches”. a cycle of scrubb
Faith barely slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she replayed how Killian's arms felt around her. It wasn't just physical it was the way he looked at her, as if he were seeing a person instead of a piece of property. By 6:00 AM the next day, she was already dressed and heading to his study to c
The heavy oak doors of the study clicked shut behind Elena who was seriously fuming. The room suddenly felt five degrees colder, filled only with the scent of Killian’s lingering rage and the hum of the computer server Faith had just saved.Faith tried to stand, her legs still trembling. “Thank you
