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 growled the moment she said she wanted to meet Ema. It was a low and dangerous sound that started in the back of my throat and vibrated all the way through my chest. The very idea of this woman being anywhere near Ema made my blood run cold. I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand up. My eyes shifted over to Peter. He was standing there with a calm expression on his face, his arms crossed over his chest. He acted as if this woman had not made our lives a living hell for years. He acted as if she had not abandoned her own children when we needed her most.


I remembered everything she had done. I remembered the stories of how she ordered the slaughter of an entire bloodline. She was a woman who didn't care about life, even the lives of those she was supposed to protect. And now she was back, acting as if she had some right to see the girl I loved.
