Zara Night is tired of being the academy's biggest failure. As the only werewolf who can't shift, she's stuck cleaning classrooms while elite students like Kai Storm train for a war she doesn't understand. But when students start disappearing and Zara begins having impossible dreams of flying through space and devouring entire packs, she realizes her biggest weakness might be her greatest weapon. Kai Storm has one mission: earn the werewolves' trust, then lead them to slaughter. But falling for the academy's "broken" omega wasn't part of the plan. As his alien programming fights his growing humanity, Kai must choose between his creators and the girl who's about to become the most powerful being in the universe. When Zara discovers that Earth's werewolves are being bred as soldiers for an alien empire, and that everyone she trusts has been lying to her, she'll have to embrace the monster inside her to save not just her world, but reality itself. Some secrets are worth killing for. Others are worth dying for. But some secrets can end everything.

Chapter 1 The Broken One

Zara's POV

The mop bucket clattered against the marble floor as Zara Night pushed it down the empty hallway of Shadowmere Academy.

At three in the morning, the elite werewolf school was finally quiet.

No more laughter echoing from the common rooms.

No more whispers about "the broken omega" who couldn't shift.

Zara squeezed the dirty water from her mop and sighed.

While other nineteen-year-olds were sleeping in comfortable dorm rooms, she was cleaning up their mess.

Again.

"This is pathetic," she muttered to herself, pushing a strand of black hair from her sweaty forehead.

"Even the other omegas can shift. What's wrong with me?"

She'd been asking herself that question for five years.

Five years since her parents dropped her off at Shadowmere Academy's gates and never looked back.

The academy claimed to prepare the strongest werewolves for leadership roles in modern society, but Zara knew the truth.

She was here because her pack didn't want her.

A broken omega who couldn't shift was worse than useless.

She was an embarrassment.

Zara pushed her bucket toward the computer lab, where tomorrow's elite students would learn advanced tactics for something called "The Final Hunt."

She'd heard whispers about it, some kind of important mission that only the strongest werewolves could handle.

Not that anyone would ever explain it to her.

The computer lab door was already open.

Strange.

Professor Hayes always locked it after classes.

Zara flicked on the lights and gasped.

Every computer in the room was destroyed.

Screens cracked, keyboards smashed, cables ripped from the walls.

It looked like someone had taken a baseball bat to everything.

"Great," she groaned.

"They'll probably blame me for this."

She started sweeping up the broken glass, careful not to cut herself.

As she worked, something caught her eye.

One computer in the back corner looked different.

The screen was dark, but it wasn't cracked like the others.

In fact, it looked completely untouched.

Zara walked over to investigate.

The computer looked normal enough, but when she got closer, she noticed something odd.

The screen had a faint crack running down the middle, but it was perfectly straight.

Too perfect.

Like someone had drawn a line with a ruler.

"What the hell?" she whispered, reaching out to touch the crack.

The moment her finger made contact with the screen, everything changed.

The computer hummed to life, its screen blazing with brilliant blue light.

But instead of the normal login screen, symbols appeared.

Strange, flowing symbols that looked nothing like any language Zara had ever seen.

Yet somehow, impossibly, she understood them.

HARVEST PROTOCOL ACTIVATED

SUBJECT IDENTIFICATION: INCOMPLETE

SCANNING...

Zara jerked her hand back, but the screen kept glowing.

More symbols appeared, scrolling faster now.

GENETIC MARKERS: ANOMALOUS

POWER CLASSIFICATION: UNKNOWN

RECOMMENDATION: IMMEDIATE EXTRACTION

"What is this?" Zara breathed, her heart pounding.

The symbols made no sense, but she understood every word.

How was that possible?

A new message flashed on the screen:

WARNING: UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS DETECTED

INITIATING SECURITY PROTOCOLS

The screen went black.

Then, slowly, the crack down the middle began to glow with the same blue light.

Zara realized it wasn't a crack at all.

It was some kind of scanner.

Before she could move, footsteps echoed in the hallway.

Someone was coming.

Zara grabbed her mop and bucket and rushed toward the door, her mind racing.

What had she just seen?

What did those symbols mean?

And why could she understand them when she'd never seen anything like them before?

The footsteps got closer.

Zara quickly turned off the lights and slipped out of the computer lab, pulling the door shut behind her.

She hurried down the hallway, trying to look like she was just doing her job.

But she couldn't shake the feeling that everything had just changed.

The symbols on that screen weren't from any human technology she knew.

They looked... alien.

And they'd been scanning her.

As Zara pushed her bucket toward the basement stairs, she didn't notice the security camera in the corner following her movement.

Its red light pulsed once, twice, then began transmitting data to coordinates far beyond Earth's atmosphere.

The hunt was about to begin.

I sat on the cold tile floor of our Upper East Side penthouse, staring at the two pink lines until my vision blurred. After ten years of loving Julian Sterling and three years of a hollow marriage, I finally had the one thing that could bridge the distance between us. I was pregnant. But Julian didn't come home with flowers for our anniversary. He tossed a thick manila envelope onto the marble coffee table with a heavy thud. Fiona, the woman he'd truly loved for years, was back in New York, and he told me our "business deal" was officially over. "Sign it," He said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He looked at me with the cold detachment of a man selling a piece of unwanted furniture. When I hesitated, he told me to add a zero to the alimony if the money wasn't enough. I realized in that moment that if he knew about the baby, he wouldn't love me; he would simply take my child and give it to Fiona to raise. I shoved the pregnancy test into my pocket, signed the papers with a shaking hand, and lied through my teeth. When my morning sickness hit, I slumped to the floor to hide the truth. "It's just cramps," I gasped, watching him recoil as if I were contagious. To make him stay away, I invented a man named Jack-a fake boyfriend who supposedly gave me the kindness Julian never could. Suddenly, the man who wanted me gone became a monster of possessiveness. He threatened to "bury" a man who didn't exist while leaving me humiliated at his family's dinner to rush to Fiona's side. I was so broken that I even ate a cake I was deathly allergic to, then had to refuse life-saving steroids at the hospital because they would harm the fetus. Julian thinks he's stalling the divorce for two months to protect the family's reputation for his father's Jubilee. He thinks he's keeping his "property" on a short leash until the press dies down. He has no idea I'm using those sixty days to build a fortress for my child. By the time he realizes the truth, I'll be gone, and the Sterling heir will be far beyond his reach.

I was finally brought back to the billionaire Vance estate after years in the grimy foster system, but the luxury Lincoln felt more like a funeral procession. My biological family didn't welcome me with open arms; they looked at me like a stain on a silk shirt. They thought I was a "defective" mute with cognitive delays, a spare part to be traded away. Within hours of my arrival, my father decided to sell me to Julian Thorne, a bitter, paralyzed heir, just to secure a corporate merger. My sister Tiffany treated me like trash, whispering for me to "go back to the gutter" before pouring red wine over my dress in front of Manhattan's elite. When a drunk cousin tried to lay hands on me at the engagement gala, my grandmother didn't protect me-she raised her silver-topped cane to strike my face for "embarrassing the family." They called me a sacrificial lamb, laughing as they signed the prenuptial agreement that stripped me of my freedom. They had no idea I was E-11, the underground hacker-artist the world was obsessed with, or that I had already breached their private servers. I found the hidden medical records-blood types A, A, and B-a biological impossibility that proved my "parents" were harboring a scandal that could ruin them. Why bring me back just to discard me again? And why was Julian Thorne, the man supposedly bound to a wheelchair, secretly running miles at dawn on his private estate? Standing in the middle of the ballroom, I didn't plead for mercy. I used a text-to-speech app to broadcast a cold, synthetic threat: "I have the records, Richard. Do you want me to explain genetics to the press, or should we leave quietly?" With the "paralyzed" billionaire as my unexpected accomplice, I walked out of the Vance house and into a much more dangerous game.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
