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.

Ever since the morning I sat in the bedroom and told Derek about my recurring dream, I felt a massive shift in the way things worked between us. It was not a loud change, but it was there in every room we shared. He did not ask me any more direct questions about the dream. He did not press me for more details or beg me to repeat the name "Mia" so he could analyze it. Instead, he simply watched me.


He was not cold or distant like he had been when I first arrived at the mansion. Back then, his silence felt like a wall. Now, his silence felt like he was waiting for something to happen. He was careful. Every time I moved or spoke, I felt his eyes on me. It felt as if he were trying to read a secret message hidden beneath my skin.
