One night. One thousand dollars. One betrayal that shattered my world. David Richard was the "Alpha King" of Forestwood—my step-brother, my protector, and the man who sold my virginity for a bet. I was the "Charity Girl," a pawn in his cruel game of dominance. But while he was playing with my heart, I was learning his secrets. Now, the game has changed. I’m no longer the broken girl in the boathouse; I’m the woman holding the keys to his empire. My father’s death wasn't an accident, David isn't who he thinks he is, and the "Step-brother" I once loved is now the man I've sworn to destroy. From the elite hallways of Forestwood to the dark-web bunkers of a global conspiracy, our war is fueled by a desire so toxic it’s addictive. He wants my forgiveness; I want his absolute ruin. He thinks he can claim me again, but he’s about to learn the ultimate truth: In a world built on lies, the only thing more dangerous than his obsession is my revenge. Step-brother, I'll be your regret. And I'm going to make every second of it burn.

Three months after my death, my brother is hospitalized due to leukemia. That's when my family finally remembers me after kicking me out. My sister, Ruby, texts me. "Caleb is sick, so get the hell back here for a bone marrow transplant. Mom and Dad will stop holding a grudge against you for stealing money." Dad calls me a few times, but they go unanswered. He curses, "How dare she! She didn't even bother calling since we kicked her out a few months ago!" Mom holds my brother, Caleb. Her gaze is full of heartache. "Jolene is an ingrate. She must be hiding because she doesn't want to save you. I'll find her, even if I have to scour the world!" None of them care about me. They have no idea that I died on the night they kicked me out of the house. When they tossed me out, my head bumped into a stone hidden beneath the snow. The snow was particularly heavy that night. It kept falling and falling. Later, when they finally start looking for me, they find my frozen body underneath the thick snow.

They were raised to protect her. They never realized she was the one holding the pack together. Born of the Beta line, Lexara Veyne was trained to steady Alphas when instinct burned too hot and loyalty fractured under pressure. With a mind sharp enough to read power like strategy and a gift known as Resonance, she can calm rage, expose lies, and turn chaos into control. When cracks form in the ruling Alpha line, Lexara is pulled into the heart of pack politics—where strength is measured not just by dominance, but by restraint. Surrounded by overprotective brothers who believe they’re guarding her, Lexara navigates shifting alliances, forbidden attraction, and enemies who mistake her calm for weakness. But she doesn’t need to raise her voice to command attention. She doesn’t need to bare her fangs to win. As old laws begin to fail and the pack edges toward war, Lexara must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect what she’s built—especially when hatred turns to desire, and love itself becomes a dangerous variable. Because when a Beta’s flame is pushed too far… it doesn’t burn out. It burns through.
