Yet, when I finally died, he sobbed uncontrollably in public, playing the role of the devoted, heartbroken husband. "Irene, don't leave me! You have no idea how much I wanted to die with you!" At that, I spoke softly from behind him. "Is that so?"

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?
