Lois Frazer was once the most trusted and powerful member of her pack, until Tyler Storm, her alpha, betrayed her. Standing by him through thick and thin, she helped him to become powerful; as her strength declined, she was thrown away. Lois's whole world fell apart when she was accused of betrayal and kicked out of the pack. But when a new power stirs inside her, she vows to alter her story, clear her name, and seek justice with the help of her second-chance mate. However, this power comes at a risk; its malevolent influence threatens to consume her. As her quest for justice grows, Lois must fight her inner demons and the awful consequences of her rage. Will the strength kill her, or can she locate salvation?

Chapter 1 The Betrayal

Tyler stood in the front of the room, his bright blue eyes fixated on her, his posture commanding. Though he possessed his typical strength, which she had once respected, something about him seemed far away.

"Lois," his voice shattered the stillness, booming across the corridor. This meeting was organised by me to discuss a serious issue.

She raised an eyebrow, and there was a spark of rebellion in her heart. Though the distance between them had only increased when she started to lose her powers, she had been Tyler's most trusted ally, his Luna. Once warm and full of respect, his look now had a sharpness of something more sinister.

The tension was awful, like a storm about to erupt. Lois felt the burden of the gazes on her: her former packmates, the individuals she had battled beside, now waiting for what would follow.

Tyler's lips twisted into a frigid grin.

Tyler smiled coldly. "Lois Frazer," he started, "you have turned this pack into a liability."

Her heart skipped a beat, and her gut tensed. She had anticipated a conversation, maybe a difficulty. But what about this? She never imagined he would betray her like this.

His voice was constant yet sharp as he went on. Your declining abilities disqualify you from guiding. You have lost your strength; hence, you no longer belong beside me.

Her breathing was weak, and her throat constricted. Who is he to question? After all they had been through together, this was how he paid her back?

Tyler continued, his gaze fixed on hers, "You are a danger to this pack." I will not let that go on, though.

Lois stepped forward, her head spinning but her feet firmly on the frigid floor. Her voice almost a whisper, she murmured, "You know me better than that" under clenched teeth. Your loyalty has always been to me.

He smiled more broadly. Without authority to support it, loyalty means nothing. You, Lois, have none remaining.

The words struck her like a slap, and the room appeared to close in on her. This was not the guy for whom she had battled. This was not the Tyler I had adored. She was more than only her strength, yet here he was, ripping it all away with only a few words.

Lois sensed the room distort and expand around her, causing the world to tilt. Tyler's comments reverberated in her head, getting louder and louder until they were intolerable. As the shock set in, her eyesight became hazy, and the room's borders faded into a haze.

Tyler said, his words like a frigid knife piercing her heart, "You are exiled."

Banished.

The word rolled around in her head, refusing to settle. She couldn't breathe, couldn't think, and couldn't understand the reality of anything. How had things gotten to this point? The pack, her family, the individuals she had battled and bled for, now they were turning on her.

Tyler, no, she said softly, but the phrase seemed hollow, void.

Lois, your powers are gone. You threaten everyone. You are no longer qualified to be my Luna. His eyes lacked warmth, lacking anything like the guy she had once loved.

Though she hardly noticed them, the whispers surrounding her started to grow. Her body was weighted with incredulity, making her knees weak.

Pack, it has been decided. Lois Frazer is no longer with us, Tyler said flatly. She is to be sent out, treated as the rogue she is.

Lois scanned the crowd's faces; some shunned her sight, others with sympathy maintained it; none, however, came forward to support her. Her heart broke into pieces that fell to the frigid earth surrounding her.

Without a second look, Tyler moved away. "For the good of the pack," he said, almost as if it were obvious.

Her breath froze in her throat as a silent rage started to rise within her. She would not allow this. She was unable to. Not after all she had given.

Years of loyalty to you, she said quietly, her hands gripping at her sides. So this is how you pay me back?

But Tyler was already turning away, his back to her as the group trailed him.

Led to the gates of the Storm Pack's domain, Lois walked heavily as the truth of her circumstances sank in. Though it was nothing compared to the chill that had crept into her chest, the crisp night air cut at her skin.

She had never imagined this day would arrive. Not in this manner. Not with Tyler's treachery deeper than any injury.

One of the pack warriors stated, his voice lacking compassion, "You have been given your sentence." Leave.

Lois raised her head, her gaze brimming with silent rage. She grumbled beneath her breath, "I'm not finished yet."

Though his face softened, the warrior did not stop her. Her heart sank even more as she went beyond the gates. She had lost all: her partner, her pack, and her goal.

Walking into the wilderness, her body shaking with the burden of it all, she could sense something awaken deep inside her. It was not only fury. It was something more powerful and darker.

The voice that had previously whispered to her now rang in her head. Lois, revenge. Time to reclaim what was taken.

Her hand on her chest, she paused and shut her eyes. She promised, "I'll make them regret this." Every single one of them.

Lois stood in the dark, the night pushing down on her as she confronted an unknown future, the gate slamming shut behind her. But one thing was obvious: she was finished being the victim.

She would battle. She would reclaim all.

Her feet hardly gripping the rough terrain as she fell farther into the woods, the trees murmured about Lois. The agony in her chest was more than physical; it seared her spirit. Thrown away, flung out like rubbish, she was now alone.

Memories of Tyler raced through her head: his face, once warm, now frigid; their long nights of pack future planning; the way he had softly promised power and allegiance. It all seems like a terrible joke now. How had it gone so badly wrong?

Though it was little compared to the pain in her heart, her body ached with weariness. She had done all for him, for them, and it still fell short. Part of her wanted to shout to let out the anger growing within her, but she lacked the strength.

"I trusted him," she said to the darkness surrounding her, her voice cracking with impending tears.

She angrily wiped them away and pushed herself to move. But with every stride, the night's darkness closing in on her made it feel more and more weighty. How long had she been on foot? Perhaps hours? Day? She was no longer certain. All she could consider was the unfairness of it all.

Wind gusts rustled the overhead trees, causing her body to quiver. She wavered on her feet, and her vision swam. Her legs failed her, and she fell against the soft moss of the woodland floor.

Though it was pointless, she attempted to control her breathing. Her will was fading, her strength gone, and she was about to collapse. She was empty.

Though it provided little solace, the moonlight pierced the trees to create strange shadows all about her. Lois shut her eyes, hoping the planet would stop turning to stop tearing her apart. In the darkness she was all alone. Alone and more lost than at any other time in her life.

Lois lay there, fighting to gather herself, while the quiet of the woods looked to hold its breath. But then, in the distance, something stirred: a presence. Her eyes opened, and she sensed it before she saw it: the weight of strength, a presence so strong it tugged at her soul.

The air surrounding her sparked with energy, making her heart race as she sat up slowly. A man appeared in the distance, standing just beyond the trees.

Tall, broad-shouldered, an alpha wolf with eyes that sparkled like molten gold. The moonlight made his fur shine; the force emanating from him was unmistakable. His presence all-consuming, his posture imposing. She could feel the pull of him, as though he were calling to her, drawing her in with an unseen force.

The Alpha's gaze fixed on Lois, causing her breath to catch in her throat. She experienced a strong link, a spark of something ageless and unarguable. It was as though the cosmos had changed to line them up in an unignorable fashion.

Then he spoke. His voice was powerful, like thunder sweeping over the sky, but it was also soft, nearly a whisper only she could hear.

"Lois," he said emphatically and purposefully.

Her pulse skipped a beat, and she stood without thinking, pulled towards him as though by some magnetic force. Though it was impossible, it was irrelevant. Her legs pulled her towards him as the jungle appeared to divide before her.

"Come," he called, and Lois's heart started to race as his summons encircled her like a chain.

It was larger than she could grasp, but it was as though she had always known this moment was coming. Something within her changed, and she understood that this was merely the start of a far more vital, far more hazardous trip than anything she had ever envisioned.

Stepping forward, her heart racing in her chest, she felt the forest's blackness closing in around her. Turning back was impossible.
