A coward who kills pregnant women and plunges his weapon into a friend's back." He stepped closer. Too close. "And yet," he murmurs, voice dropping, "he left this behind." His smile sharpened. I can't move. I can't breathe. "You should be grateful," he goes on, almost kindly. "If you had been born uglier, I would have killed you like the rest." A pause, then his hands on my cheek, gentle. "But beauty like yours," he adds, eyes darkening, "is worth breaking slowly." * What is worse than being rejected once? Being rejected two more times.

Lumira has no history — only a name and a life she built alone. When men in black suits appear at her door with a photograph of a woman who looks exactly like her, her world collapses in a single sentence: “You’ve been chosen.” Taken against her will and delivered into the ruthless mafia empire of Zarek Volkov, Lumira learns the truth — she wasn’t kidnapped. She was selected. Chosen to replace a dead woman. Chosen to wear another name. Chosen to live another life. Chosen to become a ghost’s shadow. Zarek doesn’t want love. He doesn’t want healing.

And he refuses to let her remain.

We learned how to survive on the streets together—until he couldn’t take it anymore and started selling drugs. Luck had never touched my life. I was the one who got caught.

Being spared by her felt dangerously close to being chosen for something. Despite knowing it would destroy me, I found myself yearning for more of her. I had no one who truly cared about me. Except Alex. So her mercy slowly began to feel like belonging. ***** It's Omegaverse, where Female Alpha's has a dick.
