Rhea had it all: beauty, wealth, three fiercely protective brothers, and a life where her biggest heartbreak came from crying over fictional tragedies. But in one devastating twist, her world ended, and when she opened her eyes she was no longer the pampered heiress. She had become the rejected omega from the book she had dropped in rage, a wolfless, powerless girl, hated by all and left to wither until starvation finally claimed her.

Now trapped in a body everyone despises, Rhea refuses to accept the same miserable fate. The pack may remember a coward, but she remembers every grueling taekwondo lesson her brothers forced her to endure, and she is not about to cower in silence. If she fails to rise above her circumstances, she risks not only her own life but also the chance to free others crushed beneath the same oppressive system.

"This is the perfect time to make use of the taekwondo training my brothers forced upon me."

Her so-called destiny remains tied to Alpha Ares, the man who rejected her, who turned a blind eye to her torment, and who believed every cruel lie whispered about her. He may be her fated mate, but she will be damned if she lets him decide her life again. As she fights her way through oppressors, Rhea must decide whether to trust Ares to finally use his head or knock the sense into him herself.

Jason practically bounced down the hallway, feet light and heart even lighter. Today was his birthday. Finally eighteen. Finally a chance to discover his mate. Finally a hope of leaving the suffocating grip of his aunt. He kept skipping as if the ground itself cheered for him. The past few days had been oddly peaceful. Marta had not shouted at him, not given him a cruel look, not even brushed against him with her usual venom. Maybe the beta's warning had worked. Still, he could never relax when she was around. He wanted out. He needed out.
