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 in the quiet of the girls' restroom, looking down at Lily as she knelt on the cold tile floor. Her words about Peter killing Derek felt like a bad joke. Despite everything that had happened, I knew how strong Derek was. He was the Alpha for a reason. I let out a small, light laugh, though there was no real humor in it. It was more a sound of disbelief than anything else.


"I really do not see what is so different this time, Lily," I said, my voice steady. "There is no way Peter can kill Derek. I have seen them both. Derek is much stronger than him in every way that matters. Peter might be his brother, but he does not have the same power."


Lily didn't look up right away. She kept her head bowed for a second before she shook it slowly. When she finally looked at me, her eyes were filled with a frantic kind of certainty that made me feel a little uneasy.
