Mira watched in silence as her secret mate-the powerful Alpha of one of the greatest packs-married someone else, despite his promises to give her the world. When she dared to defy fate and reveal the truth, she was cast out, exiled from her own pack. Left with nothing, Mira faces a choice: remain broken and let everything she's worked for slip away, or rise from the ashes, stronger than ever. But Mira is no ordinary wolf. Armed with a mystical power no werewolf has ever possessed, she is ready to reclaim her destiny. Yet with enemies lurking at every turn, will she triumph-or fall once more? Why don't you find out?

Chapter 1 THERE SHE IS!

I heard the loud voice from where I hid, and I knew it was game over. I had to run.

"Get her!"

I kicked against the door as hard as I could, bolting through it almost immediately. They were behind me, all four of them. I didn't stop running.

The sound of grasses and twigs being trampled upon by our feets echoed through the night. My hands gripped the object in my hand tighter, as I kept running.

"Stop!" One of them yelled. "Stop now, and we will let you go freely."

Lies!

I'm not a fool, and they're all liars. If their Alpha is a liar, then they are too.

My heart ached as I thought about the situation that led me here. I had my doubts, but he overrode them, and made me fall in love with him, only to be rejected at the last minute when it actually mattered.

Love sucks, but Alpha Thane sucks even more.

A harsh voice pulled me out from my little "That book belongs to the pack, you can't take it. You theif!"

I held unto it tighter. I'm not a thief!

I ignored them as best as I could, putting all my energy into getting away from them. The night air reeked of smoke and pain. My heart was pounding in my chest, as I tore through the woods.

A blur of black fur lunged at me from the darkness. I twisted, barely dodging the razor-sharp claws that sliced through the air where my head had been just moments before. That was close.

I fell roughly to the ground, a low growl escaping my lips. However, I barely had time to nurse the pain. Rolling to my feet, I met the golden eyes of my attacker-Derek, Thane's right hand man.

He never liked me from the start!

My fingers tightened around the leather-bound tome I had taken-secrets of the old world pressed between its brittle pages. Secrets that could change everything. Secrets that no one could read or comprehend, no one but me!

"Give it to us, Mira. Now!" he snarled, his eyes flickering to a deeper shade. "You don't know what you're dealing with."

The other three men had caught up, they stood behind me, baring their fangs at me.

I refused to be intimidated. I wasn't the same quiet librarian they thought I was. The one they played with like some tool. "Neither do you."

The leader lunged at me at this point. I almost didn't see it coming, but I dodged right in time. I fell to the ground, grabbing as much sand as I could. I threw it in his eyes, dashing past him without wasting another second.

I felt my legs begin to weaken beneath me, but I didn't stop. A deafening howl split the night-a warning. Reinforcements were coming.

Ugh! Give up already, Thane!

Pain was all I felt. That type that threatened to tear your heart apart, and shook your entire being. Yes, that kind of pain!

What do you do when your secret mate announces to the entire pack that he had found his mate, and it isn't you?

As for me, I was in denial. He couldn't possibly do that to me, could he?

Until it dawned on me. He rejected me, tossed me aside like a used tissue paper. He caused this, and everything else that's coming for him.

If the last thing I do is take my revenge, then I will, or die trying.

My thoughts distracted me, and I didn't realize that my company had all shifted into their wolves. "Shit!" I cursed.

Desperately, I attempted to reach my wolf all over again. I couldn't. I don't know what they did to me, I felt so human at that point.

How am I supposed to get past them without my wolf?

The sound of snapping jaws filled the air as the first wolf lunged. I ducked, barely avoiding the gleaming fangs that snapped shut just inches from my face. My heart pounded in my ears, my legs burning from the relentless chase.

Another wolf - sleek and black with eyes like molten gold - circled around to cut off my path. Derek!

"Mira," he growled, voice thick even in his wolf form. "There's nowhere left to run."

But I wasn't done yet.

I spun, hurling a jagged branch I'd snatched off the forest floor at the closest wolf. It wasn't much-barely a distraction-but it gave me a sliver of space to bolt deeper into the trees. Branches tore at my skin, and my breath came in sharp, panicked gasps.

They were faster. Stronger. And I still couldn't reach my wolf.

Claws raked across my calf, white-hot pain exploding down my leg. I stumbled, crying out as I hit the ground hard. Leaves and dirt pressed into my palms as I clawed forward, desperate to keep the book safe, desperate to stay ahead of them.

Another set of claws hooked into the back of my shirt, dragging me back as I screamed. My nails tore at the earth, kicking wildly, but they were relentless - a pack trained to hunt, and I was their prey.

"Hold her down!" Darek's voice barked through the chaos.

I twisted, and for a brief second, I locked eyes with him. There was no mercy there. Not even triumph. Just cold, dutiful purpose.

With the last bit of energy I had left, I reached for a large stone beside me, hurling it at the wolf above me. He dodged it, but I also escaped. It felt futile, they are still going to catch up with me.

What do I do?

A hand clamped over my mouth, yanking me backward into the thick shadows of the forest.

I thrashed wildly, kicking and clawing, but the grip was ironclad. My vision swam with panic as the snarling wolves burst into the clearing, their glowing eyes sweeping the trees-searching for me.

But whoever had me knew how to disappear.

The hand shifted, pressing two fingers to the side of my neck. A sharp sting bloomed where they touched, and then-nothing. My body went limp, and the world tilted sideways. I hit the ground, my fingers still curled around the book, even as darkness swallowed me whole.

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 died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.
