Chapter 1

"Valerie, are you out of your mind?!" Marcus snatched the file and slapped it hard on my lab bench. "This is a direct order! You're the only one in the North who can handle this!" I lowered my eyes. I slowly wiped the vial in my hand. "I said, I'm not taking it." "Look at this!" Marcus flipped to the last page. "High-grade mutant wolfsbane infection. Her organs are failing. The antidote window is less than twenty-four hours. That's a living, breathing pack member!" I slammed the vial down. "Valerie, you're the only one. Nobody else in the North can isolate this toxin and synthesize a cure." Marcus leaned in. His voice dropped to a whisper. "If you don't go, she dies in that isolation room." I turned and looked at him coldly. "Marcus. You've been with me for six years. When have I ever turned down a case that could break new ground in wolfsbane research?" He froze. "Then why this one?" I didn't answer. Marcus panicked. He grabbed my arm. "This is a special mandate from th

Chapter 2

Silence on the line. Then, a cold, oppressive Alpha scoff. "Did you mishear me? I said name your price. Anything." "I said no." I stood my ground. "Is it not enough? The Council's highest honor. Twenty million in cash, wired to you instantly." No hesitation in his voice. Like he was talking about pocket change. "Half upfront. Save her, and the other half drops immediately." I didn't speak. He thought I was wavering. He doubled down. Annoyance crept into his tone. "You want into the Elite Science Division? Fine. I'll make you the Chief Toxicology Advisor." Still so damn arrogant. Just like always. I couldn't help but cut him off. "Alpha Hector. When I say no, I'm not bargaining." His breathing grew heavy. I could feel his furious aura burning through the phone line. "Then tell me. Why?" I gripped the phone tighter. "It's my right to refuse." "Your right?" His voice rose. "Do you know what's happening? The toxin has destroyed her wolf's healing abilities. It's attacking h

Chapter 3

Marcus opened his mouth, but no words came out. Suddenly, a deafening engine roar came from outside. The headlights of three black armored SUVs sliced through the dead of night like swords. The whole warehouse shook. An SUV with the Council's Alpha Pack plates braked brutally at the lab entrance. The High Council's wolf crest gleamed under the streetlights. Blinding. The doors burst open before the cars even fully stopped. Hector stepped out. Perfect black overcoat. Crisp white collar. Radiating that overwhelming Alpha aura. Two massive, fierce pack guards flanked him. And a woman in an expensive cashmere coat. It was Chloe. Ten years. She still looked just as fragile and pitiful. Hector's precious childhood sweetheart. The one he’d spoiled for over twenty years. He held her gently as she stepped out in designer stilettos. Looking so fragile, a stiff breeze could snap her in half. It was them. I turned and looked at Marcus. Fear and fury battled on his face. He clenched

Chapter 4

He glanced at Marcus. Bone-chilling eyes. "Or your partner's daughter. Tonight, she guards the entire sector alone. One girl, patrolling past the border wards, surrounded by those feral beasts." Marcus's face turned deathly pale. "You're threatening me with my daughter's life!" Marcus's voice shook. Hector didn't answer. He just looked back at me. "And this trash lab of yours. If my daughter dies... Tomorrow, this place gets leveled. I'll burn it to the ground." Chloe stepped forward again. Begging eyes. "Dr. Valerie. Hector and I grew up together. My daughter is like his own flesh and blood. Please save her, okay?" She reached out, trying to grab my arm to play nice. "My daughter is in there. She must be so scared. So cold. The wolfsbane is melting her from the inside out!" I yanked myself back. I dodged her touch. "Don't touch me." Chloe's hand froze in midair. A flash of annoyance crossed her face. Then she quickly switched back to her pitiful, wronged look. "Sorry. I

Chapter 5

Hector's wild laughter stopped dead. When his eyes hit the ghastly scar on my face and neck, his superiority completely broke. That overwhelming Alpha dominance violently spiraled out of control. His smug arrogance shattered into pure disbelief. He never expected this. A woman reeking of chemicals, no scent at all, spitting such venom. Dead silence hung in the air. Hector stared at the mangled scar on my nape. The place where his unique mate mark used to be. Now just a patch of ugly, dead flesh. His proud, oppressive Alpha aura completely short-circuited. His furious pheromones shattered like glass. Bouncing around the tiny courtyard. Crushing the nerves of every lower-ranked wolf here. "Valerie?" His body stiffened. His massive frame stumbled back a step. His voice shook like he'd seen a ghost. His cold eyes slowly turned feral red. Yeah. In his eyes, I was dead and buried. Ten years ago, during that brutal rogue attack. He pulled all my Elite Guards away just to save Chlo

Chapter 6

"Tell me! What happened to our pup?!" Hector lunged at me like a madman. His Alpha aura screaming destruction. His eyes were blood-red. Filled with impossible despair. He tried to grab my shoulders. I stepped back coldly. Dodging him. His hands hovered in the air. He was trembling. His bones grinding. Before he could freak out again, a deafening roar tore through the night sky. Less than twenty minutes. A black chopper from the Pack Enforcers touched down brutally outside the lab. Whipping up a storm of wind. The heavy draft blew over the junk in the yard. Breaking the deadlock. The cabin door flew open. A terrified but unharmed Maya stumbled out. Escorted by two heavily armed guards. "Maya!" Marcus let out a ragged cry. He shoved past the guards. He threw himself forward and hugged his daughter tight. "Dad!" Maya was shaking. She hugged him back desperately. Father and daughter fell to the freezing mud, sobbing their hearts out. Seeing Maya safe, my tight nerves finall

Chapter 7

"Hector! Let me explain!" Chloe was losing her mind. She crawled to Hector's feet. Clinging to his muddy pants. "Those reports are fake! Valerie forged them to frame me!" She sobbed. Trying to spark some pity. Even releasing a slick, desperate Omega scent in a pathetic bid for sympathy. Hector didn't say a word. He just stared down at her. His once proud eyes were boiling with enough killer intent to eat her alive. The Alpha pressure was crushing the air. No one could breathe. Chloe sensed the deadly danger. She shook like a leaf. She quickly switched tactics. Pulled her best trick. "Even if I made a mistake! That was ten years ago!" She shrieked hysterically. "Did you forget how I saved you?! When that rogue attacked, I took the knife for you! I almost died that rainy night!" She yanked at Hector's coat, screaming at the top of her lungs. "For the sake of that scar, forgive me this once. Please. Just go save my daughter! She's in the ICU waiting for you! Once she lives, yo

Chapter 8

The sharp crack of bone was deafening in the night. Chloe let out a blood-curdling scream. She slammed into the mud like a broken ragdoll. She clutched her grotesquely twisted right leg. Rolling in pain. Hector looked down at her. Zero mercy in his eyes. "Shut up." His voice was absolute zero. Reeking of death. Chloe twitched in agony. Tears, mud, and bloody foam ran down her face. "Hector! You're crazy! It's me, Chloe! How could you do this to me!" "I gave you chances." Hector's eyes were cruel. "But you didn't just kill my flesh and blood. You dared to try and touch her." He turned his head. Glared coldly at the guards. "Shatter her other kneecap." The guards stepped up without hesitation. Another sickening crunch. Paired with Chloe's broken screams. Both her legs were completely ruined. She nearly passed out from the pain. Twitching on the ground like a dying maggot. "Drag her away." Hector ordered with freezing breath. The cruelest banishment. "Dump her deep in the

Chapter 9

A bright red cut trailed down his sharp jawline. The potent silver venom hit his bloodstream instantly. Shutting down his wolf's healing. The hiss of burning flesh filled the air. Hector shook violently from the pain. Cold sweat mixed with mud dripped down. But he stubbornly didn't retreat an inch. Instead, he straightened his back. He pushed his vulnerable neck deeper against the blade. A sacrificial surrender to his mate. The silver blade cut deeper. Blood poured. Dying his expensive shirt red. "Do it, Valerie." His blood-red eyes locked onto me. Suffocating heartbreak and despair in his gaze. "If you want, I'll gladly die by your hand. You can rip my heart out right now, and I won't complain." He looked like a desperate believer. Trying to trade death for an ounce of my pity. Watching this crying man, I suddenly found it totally laughable. I didn't draw the knife. I loosened my grip and glared at him. "Rip out your heart?" I gave a short, cold laugh. Dripping with mock
