What Happens After The Alpha Killed My Adoptive Mother?

“I trusted him with my people, my title, and my life. He destroyed all three.” **** Lucia Everton fought harder than anyone to protect what was left of humanity. When Alpha Reese Maddox offered peace between humans and wolves, she believed becoming his Luna was the only way to save her people from extinction. She was wrong. Reese never wanted peace. He wanted control. Lucia was nothing more than a symbol to make humanity kneel willingly before him. When she uncovers the truth, Reese destroys the southern city, murders everyone she loves, and kills her using the very anti-lycanthropy compound she created to fight the wolves. But Lucia wakes up. She is back at the beginning, the day before everything went wrong, and this time she knows exactly who Reese Maddox is and exactly what he is capable of. This time when he comes to the table with his alliance offer, she will be ready for him. She has a plan, a compound that can bring the most powerful werewolves to their knees, and a revenge that has been burning in her since the moment she died. What she does not plan for is Ryan. Cold, guarded, and carrying wounds of his own, Ryan is the one person who might actually be able to help her win this war. But the closer they get, the more secrets surface, and some of them are dangerous enough to unravel everything she has worked for. She was killed once for trusting the wrong man. She cannot afford to make the same mistake twice.

"Who are you?" My fated mate held a silver blade to my throat, looking at me with the eyes of a stranger. Four years ago, a witch erased me from Alpha Nash’s mind and rewrote his reality. To him, I am dead, and another woman wears the Luna crown. I returned to the pack not to reclaim my title, but to save my son. Nash sees me as a filthy rogue. He tortures me. He scorns me. He has no idea that the secret I’m hiding in the shadows is his own flesh and blood—a son with magic powerful enough to bring the world to its knees. The curse breaks with a single touch. But with a dark witch hunting my child for a deadly ritual, and Nash’s memories buried under a mountain of hate, time is running out. If he doesn't remember me soon, he will be the one to kill us both.

He marked me. He rejected me. Then he tried to kill me. Now I’m back… With a new name, a new face And a secret that could destroy him. I was fated to the Alpha who hates me. But this time… I’m not the weak one.

A pack of Rogues holds my mother, Celia Hale, hostage and clutches an iron chest like it's treasure. Lillian Parker, my mate's first love, points at the chest through her tears. "That chest… It's all I have left of my mother." However, the boulder above my mother's head is already loose, and it could crush her at any moment. I desperately beg my mate and the Alpha of the Silvermoon pack, Ares Hamilton. "Save my mom first! Please!" He just glances at me with a frown. "Celia's a strong she-wolf. She'll be fine. Margaret is already gone. That chest matters more." With that, he gestures for most of the fighters to move toward the chest. Only two young werewolves, barely steady on their feet, reluctantly step toward Celia. I stare at him in disbelief. In the end, they recover the chest, but my mother is dead.

When I was twelve, my Alpha bloodline awakened early. The force of my wolf nearly sent my twin sister into cardiac arrest. The pack healer warned that if I completed my first shift before she did, my Alpha power would crush her still-dormant wolf—and kill her. To protect her, my parents kept my wolf suppressed for six years. On the Blood Moon marking our eighteenth birthday, they decided my sister had to shift first. They injected me with three times the usual dose of suppressants and locked me inside a silver cell. “Once her wolf is stable, we’ll let you out. No one will ever stop you from shifting again.” But when the silver began tearing through my wolf, no one believed my cries for help. My parents stayed beside my sister. My brother locked the silver door again with his own hands. Even my fated mate shut down our mate link. Under the Blood Moon, my sister finally completed her first shift. My family began preparing everything they had promised me—a ceremony of my own, my first real training, and the mate bond I had waited years to complete. But inside the silver cell, my wolf and I were already dead.

Rogues took me while I was protecting my mate, Alpha Arthur. I came back three years later, only to find Arthur mated to my sister, Calista. My son, Leo, didn't recognize me. He only saw Calista as his real mother. Broken, I forced Arthur to banish Calista with the Elders' support, using my past contributions as leverage. But she died in a weak, outlying pack. Poisoned. After her death, Leo hated me for it. Arthur never blamed me, though. He just kept telling me everything would be okay. But when our pack was attacked again, he threw me to our enemies without hesitation. Left me to die. As I lay dying, I heard him snarl through gritted teeth. "If you hadn't come back, Calista would have been my mate for life!" My heart turned to ash. Then, I opened my eyes. I was back. Back to the day I returned after being gone for three years. This time, I looked at Arthur shielding Calista, with Leo clinging to her. "I sever our mate bond. From this day on, I am done with all of you."
