The night I got into Cambridge University, we were supposed to celebrate. Instead, I ended up in Gilbert’s bed—my older brother from next door, the man I had secretly loved for years. The mafia kingpin of the Veronatri. We used protection. It didn’t matter. I still got pregnant. In my past life, I relied on our child to marry him as I wished, but I was also forever barred from Cambridge University. Gilbert cornered me on our wedding night, his breath shallow, eyes wild— “You drugged me, didn’t you?” “Admit it. There’s no other reason I would’ve wanted you like that.” “You’re shameless, Julian. You will never touch me again in this lifetime!” From then on, he used every means possible to humiliate me. He even secretly transplanted our daughter’s heart into his first love’s daughter. While he and his first love celebrated the success of the surgery, I clutched my daughter’s ashes and died on the way to the cemetery. When I opened my eyes again, I had been reborn to that night of utter absurdity. This time, I didn’t cry, I didn’t beg— I just walked away to Cambridge, and he went mad trying to find me.

After I'm abducted, I call my mother, a policewoman, for help. However, she hangs up on me and stays by my adoptive sister's side. "Go to hell if you're so keen on it!" she snaps. I calmly watch as the abductors pluck my nails and torment me until none of my skin is left unharmed. In my past life, my mother actually came to my rescue. She left my adoptive sister by the roadside, and the latter ended up being violated and murdered. From then on, I became a criminal in my mother's eyes. She received an anonymous text on my adoptive sister's death anniversary. "I bet a good girl like you wouldn't want your mother to know you hired us to abduct you, right?" She thought I orchestrated the abduction because I wanted to vie for her attention. She thought that was the cause of my adoptive sister's death. "I've saved people all my life. I never would've expected my flesh and blood to be such a shameless monster! You should go to hell as atonement for killing Charlene!" She sewed my mouth shut, shattered every bone in my body, and threw my ashes into a junkyard. When I open my eyes again, I find myself back to the day my mother makes her choice.

In a world ruled by the iron fist of powerful Alphas, Lunas are little more than ornaments—beautiful, silent, and disposable. But a storm is brewing, and its name is Zoriana. Raised with the strength of an Alpha but bound by the duties of a wife, Zoriana built an empire for a man who repaid her with the ultimate betrayal: a fated mate. Tossed aside for a "fragile" replacement, the world expects her to wither away. They are wrong. From the ashes of her marriage, Zoriana rises. With a severed bond, a private army of elite defectors, and a heart turned to ice, she is no longer playing by the rules of the Great Packs. She is building her own kingdom, The ZRoux Group, and challenging the very foundations of shifter society. But the higher she climbs, the deadlier the game becomes. Dragged into a web of Alphas’ manipulative power plays and hunted by enemies who will stop at nothing to see her fall, Zoriana finds herself caught between two worlds. Fate has finally sent her a fated mate she is sworn to support—a man who represents everything she once wanted. Yet she feels a forbidden, soul-searing pull toward a devilishly alluring enemy who represents everything she branded as evil. In a world where carefully, crafted lies are unraveling and the line between right and wrong has blurred, the price of freedom may be higher than she ever imagined. When the dust settles, will she be the one wearing the crown, or will the weight of her choices be her undoing?
