Manora has been called wolfless, defective, and a shame to the Crimson Fangs. For twenty years, she lived in the shadows of her family’s estate, waiting for the day they would finally decide she was no longer worth keeping. That day comes when they send her into a cave with a dying heir. Alpha Kaven was meant to be king. Instead, he is blind, stripped of his memory, and slowly rotting from a wolfsbane curse. He has been hidden away in a den so a traitor can quietly take the crown that should have been his. Manora is sent to him as a final insult. A girl with no wolf, no power, and a past full of scars. But the first time her blood touches his lips, something shifts. The curse weakens, and the man they left for dead begins to wake. Now they are both being hunted.

Every drop of her blood keeps him alive, and every step beside him pulls her deeper into a war she never asked for. He needs her blood to survive the night, and she needs his strength to survive what is coming. Together, they may become the most dangerous thing the seven packs have ever seen.

When the apocalypse descended in all its eerie chaos, I was the Vanguard Base’s only researcher specializing in supernatural abilities. I willingly handed over the honor of saving the leader to my best friend, Ruby Barrett. In my past life, Ruby, who couldn’t even fully recite the periodic table, suddenly claimed she had comprehended the Spark of Dominion for awakening powers. Every time I guided someone, I had to stay up all night analyzing data and calculating mental thresholds. Yet with a casual touch of her finger, she could flawlessly awaken survivors. Everyone began to worship her as the Mother of Abilities. Until the day Commander Alden Morris awakened a top-tier lightning ability, Ruby shoved me aside. “Faith, this isn’t the time for you to show off. Commander Morris’s safety concerns the survival of all humanity. Let me handle it.” I tried desperately to stop her, warning her of the violent nature of lightning abilities, but the survivors who idolized her tied me up. Ruby actually succeeded in stabilizing Commander Morris and became the savior of the base. Meanwhile, she framed me for conducting live human experiments, had my limbs broken, and I was thrown into a pit of zombies. Only as I was dying did I realize she had awakened a mind-reading ability, stealing the methods I used to guide others’ awakenings. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the very day she first claimed to have mastered the Spark of Dominion. This time, I didn’t stay up day and night analyzing data or memorizing formulas. Instead, I started humming the tune of a broadcast exercise routine.
