Chapter 1

Veyra’s POVForty-three days after the apocalypse began, my family decided to eat me.I sat on the cold floor of our locked underground shelter, my wrists bound behind my back. My lips were cracked, my stomach cramped with hunger, and my wolf lay so weak inside me that I could barely feel her presence.Outside, the Hollowborn howled.Inside, my family sat around an empty cooking pot. The last sack of grain had run out two days ago. We had been rationing water by the spoonful, and the youngest child had cried for so long that he barely had the strength to make a sound.I gave him my food yesterday. I had given everyone something during these forty-three days. My jewelry had bought supplies. My strength had kept the shelter running. I had even crossed infected territory to retrieve medicine for my mother. Now she sat against the wall, crying.My half-sister, Seren, sat beside my husband. Draven held a knife. Nobody would look at me.I glanced at the rope cutting into my wrists, then a

Chapter 2

Veyra’s POVThree months. That was how long I had before the Black Moon.I sat on the edge of the bed, trying to steady my breathing. The second chance was real and somewhere beyond these walls, the man who had watched me die was still living as if he had done nothing wrong.Draven Ashford!In my first life, I had spent years mistaking his demands for trust and my sacrifices for love. When hunger came, he had weighed my life against his pack’s survival and decided I was expendable.I could still hear his voice. I don’t have the luxury of sentiment, Veyra. My hands curled into fists. I wouldn’t confront him yet. He had no idea I remembered everything, and I intended to keep it that way until I had secured my money, my safety, and every chance of surviving what was coming. Whatever it was, I refused to waste it. Footsteps approached my bedroom.I froze as the door opened, and Draven walked inside. For several seconds, I couldn’t breathe properly. He wore a clean shirt, his dark hair w

Chapter 3.

Veyra’s POVBy midnight, I had made a list of everything I needed to survive the apocalypse.Food. Water. Medicine. Weapons. Fuel. Secure storage. Reliable transport. I stared at the paper, remembering how quickly our comfortable lives had fallen apart.In the beginning, Blackthorn had enough food to feed its people for months. Then the roads became dangerous, livestock started dying, and merchants stopped delivering supplies. Before long, people were fighting over rotten vegetables and handfuls of grain.I had watched neighbors betray one another over things they once considered worthless and when our supplies finally ran out, my family decided I was worth more dead than alive.My pen pressed hard against the paper. Never again.Buying food wasn’t enough. I needed clean water, medical supplies, independent power, and somewhere secure enough to withstand both infected creatures and desperate survivors. Most importantly, I needed money nobody could take from me.In my first life, I ha

Chapter 4

Veyra’s POVI found the Alpha King waiting inside my estate the following morning. For three seconds, I simply stared at him.Kael Veyr stood beside the fireplace, dressed in black, his expression as calm as if he owned the building. Two guards waited near the entrance. My hands tightened around my bag.“What are you doing in my house?”His gaze shifted to me. “Good morning, Lady Nightingale.”“Don’t change the subject. Who gave you permission to enter my property?”“Your caretaker allowed me inside.”“After you presented yourself as a representative of the royal court.”“I am the royal court.”I wanted to throw something at him. Instead, I shut the door behind me. “Get out.”One of his guards looked horrified. Kael merely raised an eyebrow.“You haven’t even heard why I’m here.”“And you haven’t explained why the Alpha King thinks he can enter a woman’s property without her permission.”Something flickered in his eyes. Amusement, perhaps.“I’ll remember that the next time I require y
