The Alpha Must Die
The Alpha Must Die
“She craved a normal life... Her main goal was to live "the happily ever after" version in the Cinderella story. Unbeknownst to her that life was never a bed of roses. In a twinkle of an eye, Emilia almost lost her purpose in this world, a mysterious accident stole her parents and left her under the care of her grandparents. Emilia was left with no option than to move into their secluded farmhouse; at that moment all she wanted was to heal and probably move on. But on the night of the Bleeding Moon, she witnesses something she shouldn't have; a secret among werewolves that have been protected and kept confidential from humans for decades. And has a normal human, her instincts would only scream RUN! Emilia thinks she could run away from her future - away from the destiny that has already been decided. However, the werewolves won't let her be, she learns about their secret which she shouldn't have, so she must be eliminated. It was around that time a mysterious stranger named Asher stepped out of the shadows; a rogue with piercing eyes, secrets held in them. He was more than willing to help her. But, her life again takes a dramatic turn when Victor Marshall, the reigning alpha and her true fated mate wants her for himself, not out of love, but to control her bloodline. Emilia is thrust into a hidden world of werewolves, rival alphas, and ancient power struggles. As she grows closer to Asher, he teaches her to fight, to trust herself, and to awaken the power lying dormant within her. But danger lurks. Victor is ruthless. Obsessive. And he's sending a clear message...Come to me...or... I'll come to you. As the next Bleeding Moon nears, Emilia must choose between the violent pull of fate and the freedom she's finding in Asher's arms. Her transformation is inevitable, and the wolf in her yearns for Victor's embrace. But only one Alpha can stand by her side when the moon turns red. Emilia learns too many deep secrets, things come to her realization - and one chant slips out of her lips. "Victor Must Die! The Alpha Must Die!"”
