“I was a wolfless Omega, despised by my family, but I thought my engagement to the respected Alpha Julian would finally bring me peace. But my half-sister Karmen drugged my tea and threw me into a derelict shed with three ruthless men. She wanted them to assault me, completely ruining my reputation. I fought them off and escaped into a hidden cave, only to be cornered by Karmen and my fiancé. They didn't come to save me. They came to catch me in the act. Seeing me with a strange, half-naked man I had accidentally fallen upon in the dark, Julian's eyes filled with absolute disgust. "You're pathetic. Hopeless," he snarled, ordering his guards to seize us both. He didn't care that I was the victim. He just wanted a public excuse to discard me. When we returned to the estate, I found my only friend in the house beaten half to death by Karmen, her body covered in grotesque bruises and left to rot with cheap mud poultices. I couldn't understand why my own flesh and blood wanted me destroyed. I had endured their cruelty for years, hoping for a sliver of peace. But seeing my friend's broken body, the last shred of my hope vanished, replaced by a cold, pure fury. What Karmen and Julian didn't know was that the "rogue" they caught me with wasn't a rogue at all. He was Cedric Bullock, the ruthless and legendary Alpha of the Northridge Pack, whom I had just saved from a deadly curse. When Julian proudly demanded a public rejection to humiliate me, I calmly accepted it. Then, I turned to the most dangerous man in the territory and made a deal. This time, I was going to burn my abusive family to the ground.”
