Four years ago, I walked into liquid silver fire to drag the Alpha heir out of a burning wreck. The silver melted the skin off my back, leaving me a topographic nightmare of scars, while my inner wolf went dormant to survive the pain. I thought my sacrifice meant something. But when Julian finally woke from his coma, he didn't look at me with love. He looked at my burns with pure disgust. "Who let this broken Omega in here?" he sneered. He pulled Estelle-the woman who had fled the scene without a scratch-into his arms. "This," he declared, burying his face in her flawless neck, "is the scent of my savior. Not you. You smell like a chemical spill." He treated me like a leper in my own pack. He let his sister slash my dress to expose my "ugly" back to dinner guests. On the day he was forced to marry me for PR, he drove us to the altar with Estelle in the backseat. When she faked a panic attack, claiming the wolfsbane I warned her about was "anxiety," Julian slammed on the brakes in the middle of a storm. "Get out," he commanded, unlocking my door. "Julian, we're ten minutes from the wedding." "Estelle is dying! You selfish monster, get out!" He kicked me out of the Rolls Royce, leaving me standing in the mud in my white silk gown. As his taillights faded, I didn't cry. I closed my eyes and grabbed the frayed bond in my mind. "I, Ember Tucker, reject you, Julian Copeland." Snap. He thought he was discarding a broken toy. He didn't realize he had just rejected the legendary White Wolf-and his only chance at survival.

Chapter 1

Four years ago, I walked into liquid silver fire to drag the Alpha heir out of a burning wreck.

The silver melted the skin off my back, leaving me a topographic nightmare of scars, while my inner wolf went dormant to survive the pain.

I thought my sacrifice meant something.

But when Julian finally woke from his coma, he didn't look at me with love. He looked at my burns with pure disgust.

"Who let this broken Omega in here?" he sneered.

He pulled Estelle-the woman who had fled the scene without a scratch-into his arms.

"This," he declared, burying his face in her flawless neck, "is the scent of my savior. Not you. You smell like a chemical spill."

He treated me like a leper in my own pack. He let his sister slash my dress to expose my "ugly" back to dinner guests.

On the day he was forced to marry me for PR, he drove us to the altar with Estelle in the backseat.

When she faked a panic attack, claiming the wolfsbane I warned her about was "anxiety," Julian slammed on the brakes in the middle of a storm.

"Get out," he commanded, unlocking my door.

"Julian, we're ten minutes from the wedding."

"Estelle is dying! You selfish monster, get out!"

He kicked me out of the Rolls Royce, leaving me standing in the mud in my white silk gown.

As his taillights faded, I didn't cry. I closed my eyes and grabbed the frayed bond in my mind.

"I, Ember Tucker, reject you, Julian Copeland."

Snap.

He thought he was discarding a broken toy. He didn't realize he had just rejected the legendary White Wolf-and his only chance at survival.

Chapter 1

Ember POV:

The mirror in the locker room was cracked, a jagged line splitting my reflection in two. Appropriate. I turned my back to it, peeling off the scrub top. My fingers felt like ice.

There it was. The map of my ruin.

My back wasn't skin anymore. It was a topographic nightmare of violet ridges and angry red valleys, like wax melted with a blowtorch and left to harden in a scream.

Silver Fire.

In the corporate-wolf world, where suits hide fur, Silver is the devil. It's our kryptonite. It doesn't just burn; it halts our accelerated healing and cauterizes the wolf right out of the soul.

Four years ago, I didn't hesitate.

The memory hit me like a physical blow-burning rubber, the metallic tang of blood. The illegal street race. The ambush by Rogues. Julian's car spinning out, crumpling like a soda can against that tanker.

The liquid silver had spilled like demonic water.

I had dragged him out. I, a lowly Omega, had walked into the silver fire to save the heir of the Copeland Pack. I felt my skin sizzle and pop. I felt my inner wolf shriek once before burying herself deep in the recesses of my mind to survive.

I saved him. But I lost myself.

"Ember? Are you still in there?"

The voice made me jump. I quickly pulled on a fresh, high-collared shirt. Thick cotton. Enough to hide the scars. Enough to mask the medicinal stink of the ointment I slathered on every four hours.

"Coming," I whispered.

Today was the day.

Julian Copeland, the Alpha, had finally woken up from his Wolf Coma three days ago. Today was his Coronation. The day he would officially take over the Pack and name his Luna.

I walked out of the locker room. The hospital hallways were buzzing.

"Did you hear?" a nurse whispered as I passed. "Alpha Julian looks better than ever."

"And Estelle," another giggled. "She hasn't left his side. They look perfect together."

My heart stuttered. Estelle Murphy. My childhood friend. The woman who had been driving the Ferrari behind Julian that night. The woman who had slammed on the gas and sped away the second the Rogues showed their teeth.

I swallowed the bile. It didn't matter. Julian was my Fated Mate.

Even though we hadn't completed the Marking ceremony before the accident, the bond was there. The Moon Goddess doesn't roll dice. When he saw me, when he smelled me... he would know. He would remember who pulled him from the fire.

I drove my beat-up sedan to the Pack House. The mansion was lit up like a palace. The driveway looked like a luxury car dealership-Mercedes, Bentleys, Porsches.

I parked far away, near the servant's entrance.

The Pack Link in my mind was usually a low hum. Today, it was a stadium roar.

He is coming! The Alpha is coming!

I slipped into the back of the Grand Hall. It was packed. The air was thick with expensive cologne, champagne, and adrenaline.

On the stage stood Julian.

My breath caught. He was magnificent. Dark hair styled back, shoulders broad in a tuxedo that cost more than my car. He radiated power. The Alpha Aura rolled off him in waves.

My wolf, dormant for so long, scratched feebly at the back of my mind. Mate, she whimpered. Mate is safe.

Julian took the microphone. His voice was deep, vibrating through the floorboards.

"My Pack," he began. "Four years ago, darkness tried to claim me. I was broken. I was lost."

The crowd went silent.

"But," Julian continued, scanning the front row, "a light brought me back. A presence that sat by my bedside, a scent that anchored me."

I took a step forward, my pulse hammering in my throat. I had sat by his bed every night. I had sung to him.

Julian smiled. It was a smile that could stop a heart.

"I am alive today because of the love of one woman. A woman who risked everything."

He reached out a hand.

"Come to me, my Luna. Come to me, Estelle."

The floor dropped out from under me.

The applause was deafening. I watched, frozen, as Estelle Murphy rose from the front row. She was a vision in shimmering gold. Flawless. No scars. No smell of burnt flesh.

She glided up the stairs. Julian pulled her into his arms, burying his nose in her neck.

"Her scent," Julian growled into the microphone, eyes glowing amber. "It is the scent of home."

No. That wasn't possible.

I pushed through the crowd. I ignored the elbows, the glares, the muttered insults.

I reached the edge of the stage.

"Julian!" I screamed.

The music cut. The crowd gasped.

Julian looked down. His amber eyes met mine. I waited for the spark. The recognition.

Instead, his nose wrinkled.

He looked at me with cold, unfeeling eyes. Then, he looked at my high collar, wrinkling his nose at the faint, chemical reek of my burn cream.

"Who let this... Omega in here?" Julian asked, voice dripping with disdain.

"Julian, it's me," I choked out. "Ember. I... I saved you. The silver fire..."

Estelle tightened her grip on his arm. She looked down at me, a flicker of triumph in her eyes.

"Oh, Julian," Estelle purred into the mic. "This is poor Ember. She was... confused. The trauma of the accident. She thinks she helped."

Julian looked back at me. There was no love. Only disgust.

"Security," Julian commanded. The Alpha Command hit me like a physical weight, locking my muscles. "Remove her. She smells like a chemical spill. It's offending my Luna."

Two burly warriors grabbed my arms.

"Wait!" I cried, struggling. "I am your Mate! The Moon Goddess chose me!"

Laughter. Cruel, barking laughter rippled through the hall.

Julian laughed too. A cold sound.

"You?" He sneered. "Look at my Estelle. She is perfection. You are... broken. Do you really think the Moon Goddess would pair an Alpha of my bloodline with a scarred, delusional Omega?"

He turned his back on me. He kissed Estelle, deep and passionate.

The warriors dragged me out the back door and threw me onto the gravel.

I lay there, the sharp stones digging into my skin. The physical pain was nothing compared to the hole in my chest. My wolf let out a long, mournful howl in my head, then went silent.

My phone buzzed.

Subject: Application Status

Dear Ms. Tucker, We are pleased to inform you that your application for the field medic position in the Neutral Zone has been accepted...

I looked at the brightly lit mansion, hearing the cheers for the new Luna.

I wiped the tears away. They stung the scrapes on my face.

"Goodbye, Julian," I whispered into the dirt.

I had served as the private medical counsel for the Huff family for five years, keeping their scandals buried and their blood pumping. But at the Cipriani gala, standing under a storm of camera flashes, I realized I was just a smudge of ink on their golden canvas. My twenty-year-old niece, Ainsley, looked me up and down with a sneer and pointed at my throat. She demanded I hand over the emerald pendant—the only thing my grandmother left me—because it would "pop" better against the gold gown of her father’s new media darling, Harlow. I turned to Grafton, the man whose neurodegenerative condition I had personally managed in secret, waiting for him to act like a human being. He didn't even blink. He just leaned in and hissed, "Give it to her, Katharina. Don't make a scene. Fix this." After I handed over the necklace and walked out, the retaliation was instant. Within ten minutes, my credit cards were declined, my biometric access was revoked, and the concierge I had tipped for a decade blocked me from entering my own home. Grafton told me I’d be destitute and starving within a week. They all thought I was a family charity case, a leech clinging to the Huff name for prestige. They had no idea that I had spent years quietly securing the intellectual property rights to their most profitable drugs under my maiden name. They didn't know that I was "The Broker," an underground medical legend with a bank account that dwarfed their trust funds. I watched from the shadows as Grafton’s health began to crumble without my specialized injections and their stock price went into a tailspin. They thought they could erase me, but you can't delete the person who holds the structural integrity of your life together. When the panicked calls finally started coming, I didn't answer. I wasn't interested in a settlement or an apology anymore. I was busy using my offshore funds to buy up their crashing shares, ready to take back the empire they thought they had kicked me out of.

It was the night of the Winter Chalet Gala, the most prestigious event of the year and the night my life was officially supposed to begin. I was the perfect socialite, a Senator’s golden daughter, and the fiancée of Prince Clement. Then my sister, Bailee, handed me a glass of champagne with a sweet, innocent smile. "Just a sip for luck, big sister." Within minutes, my blood turned into liquid fire. In my past life, I didn't realize that "luck" was a drug designed to strip me of my dignity. I had stumbled into a hallway where a planted stranger waited for the paparazzi to catch us. The scandal was the first nail in my coffin. My family disowned me, my fiancé abandoned me for my sister, and I eventually ended the nightmare by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. I died in the freezing bay, realizing too late that my sister’s love was a death sentence and my parents had already replaced me. The betrayal felt like swallowing broken glass, a pain more suffocating than the salt water that eventually claimed my lungs. Why did the people I loved want me dismantled? Why was my suicide their only version of mercy? Opening my eyes again, I was back on that snowy balcony three years ago. The iridescent pearl manicure was back on my fingers, and the drug was already screaming in my veins. But I won't be the carcass for the vultures this time. I kicked off my heels and climbed the stone railing, looking toward the forbidden Royal Wing. I’m not going back to the trap. I’m going to the only man powerful enough to burn them all: King Ignatius Fisher.

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.

For seventeen years, I was the crown jewel of the Kensington empire, the perfect daughter groomed for a royal future. Then, a cream-colored envelope landed in my lap, bearing a gold crest and a truth that turned my world into ice. The DNA test result was a cold, hard zero percent-I wasn't a Kensington. Before the ink could even dry, my parents invited my replacement, a girl named Alleen, into the drawing room and treated me like a trespasser in my own home. My mother, who once hosted galas in my honor, wouldn't even look me in the eye as she stroked Alleen's arm, whispering that she was finally "safe." My father handed me a one-million-dollar check-a mere tip for a billionaire-and told me to leave immediately to avoid tanking the company's stock price. "You're a thief! You lived my life, you spent my money, and you don't get to keep the loot!" Alleen shrieked, trying to claw the designer jacket off my shoulders while my "parents" watched with clinical detachment. I was dumped on a gritty sidewalk in Queens with nothing but three trunks and the address of a struggling laborer I was now supposed to call "Dad." I traded a marble mansion for a crumbling walk-up where the air smelled of exhaust and my new bedroom was a literal storage closet. My biological family thought I was a broken princess, and the Kensingtons thought they had successfully erased me with a payoff and a non-disclosure agreement. They had no idea that while I was hauling trunks up four flights of stairs, my secret media empire was already preparing to move against them. As I sat on a thin mattress in the dark, I opened my encrypted laptop and sent a single command that would cost my former father ten million dollars by breakfast. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves, but they forgot one thing: I'm the one who leads the pack.
