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.
