Ema’s life was never kind.
Sold by her own mother to pay off a debt, she is dragged into the world of the mafia, believing her life is over the moment she stands before Derek, a feared mafia alpha with a ruthless reputation.
But instead of cruelty, she finds protection.
As Ema struggles to survive her new life, she discovers she is being hunted for a reason she doesn’t understand. The truth shatters everything she knows—she is a Virex, a rare and dangerous being capable of absorbing a werewolf’s power with a single touch.
Trapped between enemies, secrets, and a fate she never chose, Ema must learn to survive under the grip of a mafia alpha who is far more connected to her destiny than she ever imagined.

I stood there and stared at Lily after she spoke those hurtful words to me. Her voice was still trembling, and her eyes were very red from all the crying she had done. It hurt to see her like this.

I frowned deeply and looked at her. I felt a knot in my stomach. "Lily," I said, trying to get her to listen to me.
