"Just sign the damn paper, Ava." Liam, the Alpha I had served and loved for three years, threw a confession across the table. He wanted me to admit to corporate espionage-a crime actually committed by his fragile, innocent mistress, Chloe. When I refused, Liam didn't hesitate. He pulled up a live feed of my dying mother in the pack hospital and held his finger over the 'Terminate Life Support' button. "She is pack property. Sign, or the machine turns off." To save my mother, I signed away my rank, my reputation, and my freedom. I became a Rogue. But taking the fall wasn't enough for them. Two days later, Chloe trapped me in the lab to steal my life's work. To cover her tracks, she sabotaged the servers and set the room on fire. When the flames roared to life, Liam burst in. He saw me trapped in a glass box, choking on poisonous fumes. He saw Chloe standing safely by the door, faking a sprained ankle. He looked at me. Then he looked at her. "I'm sorry," he mouthed. He scooped up the arsonist and ran, leaving me to be consumed by the inferno. As the fire melted my skin, the pathetic love I held for him finally died. But I didn't. Instead of turning to ash, an ancient, terrifying power exploded from my core. My eyes snapped open, glowing a blinding white. I reached out through the mind-link to the one man Liam feared most. "Ethan? I'm ready to burn the Blackwood Pack to the ground."

"Just sign the damn paper, Ava."

Liam, the Alpha I had served and loved for three years, threw a confession across the table. He wanted me to admit to corporate espionage-a crime actually committed by his fragile, innocent mistress, Chloe.

When I refused, Liam didn't hesitate. He pulled up a live feed of my dying mother in the pack hospital and held his finger over the 'Terminate Life Support' button.

"She is pack property. Sign, or the machine turns off."

To save my mother, I signed away my rank, my reputation, and my freedom. I became a Rogue. But taking the fall wasn't enough for them.

Two days later, Chloe trapped me in the lab to steal my life's work. To cover her tracks, she sabotaged the servers and set the room on fire. When the flames roared to life, Liam burst in.

He saw me trapped in a glass box, choking on poisonous fumes. He saw Chloe standing safely by the door, faking a sprained ankle.

He looked at me. Then he looked at her.

"I'm sorry," he mouthed.

He scooped up the arsonist and ran, leaving me to be consumed by the inferno.

As the fire melted my skin, the pathetic love I held for him finally died. But I didn't.

Instead of turning to ash, an ancient, terrifying power exploded from my core. My eyes snapped open, glowing a blinding white.

I reached out through the mind-link to the one man Liam feared most.

"Ethan? I'm ready to burn the Blackwood Pack to the ground."

Chapter 1

Ava POV:

The conference room smelled of stale coffee and impending doom. It wasn't just the tension; it was the crushing weight of the Alpha's Command.

Liam Vanderbilt, the Alpha of the Blackwood Pack and the man I had loved for three agonizing years, stood at the head of the table. His hazel eyes were bleeding into the pitch black of his wolf. He wasn't looking at me with love. He was looking at me like I was a stain on his Armani suit.

"Just sign the damn paper, Ava," Liam growled.

His voice wasn't just sound. It was a physical wave of pressure that slammed into my chest. This was the power of the Alpha-the ability to force submission. My knees buckled, hitting the cold marble floor hard. My inner wolf, usually quiet, whined and curled into a ball, terrified.

"I didn't do it," I gasped, lungs burning. "I didn't leak the merger details. It was Chloe. I saw her files-"

"Silence!" Liam roared.

The command snapped my jaw shut. My teeth clicked together so hard I tasted copper.

"Chloe is the future Luna," Liam said, his voice dropping to a dangerous, icy calm. "She is fragile. She is innocent. You, Ava, are the capable lawyer. The strong one. You can take the hit."

He slid a document across the long table. A confession. By signing it, I would admit to corporate espionage, lose my rank as Lead Gamma, and face exile. But it wasn't just about the pack. It was about her. Chloe Preston. The woman who conveniently went into "heat" or suffered a "sprained ankle" every single time Liam and I were scheduled for our mating ceremony.

"I won't," I pushed the words through clenched teeth.

Liam sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He picked up a remote. The screen behind him flickered to life.

A live feed from the pack hospital. My mother lay in a glass pod, pale and hooked to a ventilator. The steady beep of the heart monitor was the only sound in the room.

"Wolfsbane poisoning is a bitch," Liam said casually. "Treatment is expensive. The Vanderbilt Group funds her life support. If you aren't pack... well, we don't support outsiders."

He held his finger over a red button.

My heart stopped. "Liam, no. She's your pack member."

"I do what is best for the pack," he said coldly. "Sign the paper, Ava. Take the blame for Chloe's mistake. Or the machine turns off in ten seconds."

"One."

He didn't love me.

"Two."

He never loved me.

"Three."

I grabbed the pen. My hand shook violently, fighting the instinct to shift and rip his throat out. But I was a Beta female. He was a Prime Alpha. I had no chance.

I scribbled my name. 'Ava Mitchell.'

The moment the ink dried, the crushing weight lifted. I slumped forward, gasping.

"Good girl," Liam sneered, pocketing the remote. "Get out. You have twenty-four hours to vacate."

He turned his back and walked out. He didn't look back.

I sat on the cold floor. My hand went to my neck. Smooth. Unmarked. Three years, and he had never bitten me. Never completed the bond. I was a placeholder. A tool.

A cold resolve settled in my gut.

I closed my eyes and reached out with my mind, bypassing the local pack link. I pushed further, aiming for a frequency I hadn't used in years.

'Ethan?'

The response was instantaneous. Like a shot of whiskey warming my chest.

'Ava. I'm here.'

Ethan Hayes. My law school mentor. And secretly, the Lycan King of the Sovereign Pack.

'Code Execution,' I projected. 'He used my mother. I need her out. Now.'

'The Royal Medical Transport is already in your airspace,' Ethan's voice was deep, calm, and terrifying. 'She will be in Sovereign territory within the hour. What about you?'

I opened my eyes. They flashed gold-a color that wasn't supposed to belong to a Beta.

'I have one last thing to do,' I told him. 'I'm going to burn the Blackwood Pack to the ground.'

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.

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.
