"You should have died out there, Omega." "I did. And now, you should be afraid of what came back." Veyra Draven was born to be Alpha, that is until her fated mate rejected her, her father stripped her of her title, and she was thrown into the mate trials to be claimed or killed. She was supposed to break. Instead, she’s caught between four ruthless Alphas, including Rhydian Valenmore, her pack’s sworn enemy. But when betrayal sends her to die in rogue territory, she does the impossible. She survives. Now, she’s back, not to be claimed, but to burn their world to the ground. To will never beg to be claimed; instead, she makes them beg her. 🔥 Enemies-to-lovers tension 🔥 Brutal mate trials & a rigged system 🔥 Betrayal, exile, and an Omega who refuses to bow 🔥 Rebirth 🔥 Changing the rules 🔥 Making them chase her
View MoreVeyra POV“Right, up.” More guards come, and I sigh. Another trial already? It’s either that or we are all being punished for my behaviour. I hope not, though.We’re guided out and into a large room, the walls of which are stone and bare. We walk in and are pushed towards the other Omegas. There must be at least sixty others here, maybe more. Just looking around, I can tell who has a place in the main dorms and who are like us, in cells and such.Standing at the front, I wait. Riven and Sera push closer to me, and I now notice the Alphas seated close by as well. So is this going to be a public display of beating me for not following orders? I feel like it is.“Today’s trial begins now. You will be in groups of three. Only one person can win in the groups of three.”One? Riven and Sera sob behind me. So I can’t save them?“Today’s trial, you will stand between the Alphas. They will give you commands. If you refuse to do them, you will be punished. If you refuse to submit and follow ord
Veyra POVDagon storms away, but he didn’t take the plate of food. I guess that’s a win for me.Walking back to the mats, Riven and Sera are staring at me. “Do you want to die?” Sera asks quietly.“No, but I also won’t be told what to do.” I pick up the plate and hand them food again. Sitting, we eat quietly, but we don’t speak. I can see them, they are trying to hide that they are eating.If Dagen didn’t want me to feed them, he should have taken the food with him.When we finished eating, we lay down.I watch Riven and Sera fall asleep, but I can’t sleep now. I shouldn’t have slept today. Instead, I begin to pace the small cell and when that doesn’t help. I begin to exercise.What else do I have to do? Exercising is a bonus right now because I need to keep my strength up. I do anything I can within my limited space—press-ups, sit-ups, and every type of exercise there is. When my arms are dead, I begin with squats.Eventually, I become too tired to stand, fall onto the mat, and pass
Dagen POVI knew she was up to something, the others thought she was being stubborn, that she was exercising her right to tell us to get fucked, without saying it. Not eating, they thought was her fighting back, but I knew it wasn’t, which is why I stayed up.And here, I am. Pinning her against the wall after I caught her on camera sharing food when she was warned not to! She’s smirking like she’s winning, when she’s actually losing. She needs to stop helping others, as they make her weak.She leans closer and spits the chewed-up food into my face.“Then I don’t eat it, I won’t swallow one more bite of your food,” she snarls toward me.Her words hang in the air between us, it’s like a blade, sharp and final. She stands there, defiant but trembling, her chest rising and falling fast as she stares at me. No, she stares me down like I’m nothing more than another threat that she is intent on killing and destroying.I should hit her, that’s what everyone expects me to do. Hell, I know she
Veyra POVWe’re guided back to the cells. As I step into them, I stop when I see the five mats. Five. Today started with five of us. Now, there are only three.“That was awful, I’ve never been so close to dying,” Riven mumbles, and I turn to face her.“Are you joking!” My words are harsh, and she stares at me.“She’s not wrong, Veyra, we were all close to dying.” Sera sits on her mat.“I don’t mean that, I mean you two running off and leaving Olivia. She died because neither of you would stay and help!” How could they just run away from her like she was nothing?“What were we supposed to do, risk our own lives for her?” Riven stares at me.“Yes! You were! As if it were you who was hurt, you would have expected us to! Actually, you expected me to protect you, but you couldn’t even help her to safety?”Sera sighs. “I saw the silver flakes on it; they were in her bloodstream. She would have died anyway.”“Yeah, but at least she would have died with some dignity and knowing people cared!
Vane POVI watch the screens in amazement. She should be dead by now, if not at least crawling. The blood loss, the bruises, and the weight of carrying other people. She fought Dagon, and she didn’t escape that unhurt. But she’s still on her feet, and moving like she was trained for this, like she belongs out there.She doesn’t, though; she is different. Yet I sit here, elbows on my knees, staring at the screen like I’m trying to figure out what the hell she is.Dagen returned, human again, shirtless and bruised from his fight with both Veyra and the cat. He’s silent, leaning against the far wall with that same brooding scowl that he always wears after a shift. Rael is nursing his drink like this is some casual broadcast. Maddox is still lounging back too entertained for his own good.She stumbles again, and I feel my wolf react, too fast, too tense, and my jaw tightens.“She’s slowing,” I mutter.“She’s been slowing for the last fifteen minutes,” Rael replies.“True, but she’s still
Maddox POVWho is this woman? Not only was she able to shift, but she’s fighting these cats like her life depends on it. We expected her to die quickly, and maybe we were wrong.“Almost makes me want to put her in the house. If this is how good she is without food, shelter and warmth, imagine her with all that.”“She would be unstoppable,” Vane states, and he’s right.Olivia continues to cry, and Veyra continues to fight to keep her alive, foolishly, the silver is going to kill her anyway. She’s distracted by one of the cats, and she doesn’t notice the other circling her. Before she notices, it pounces onto Olivia.The camera stays focused even as the cat rips her leg from her body. Her scream is instant, and Veyra turns quickly and foolishly.She’s just turned her back on the other cat. I wait, watching as she attacks the one leaning over Olivia, but it’s too late. The cat already has Olivia’s face in its mouth.Vane leans forward, on the edge of his seat, as the other cat lunges for
Rael POVWhen Dagen said he wanted to be the wolf in with Veyra, we didn’t think much of it. We know their packs have a long history; they are enemies at the core. It’s a war between their packs that dates back centuries.I doubt anyone even knows why they became enemies to begin with, but they sure are dragging out this war.Sitting beside Vane and Maddox, we watch the screens. The collective gasp we all do when she shifts is unnerving. She shifted. I was amazed that she could shift her paws alone, but her shifting entirely was something new.She’s not meant to do that. Her father stripped her title; she’s an Omega, but she fights like an Alpha. We watch, waiting for Dagen to rip her throat out. Only he doesn’t. I see the way his wolf stills, the flash in his eyes.“Oh, this is interesting,” Maddox chuckles and leans back. “His wolf has an obsession.”It does, and for some reason, it’s Veyra. That is going to cause some fun conversations later when he returns to the room to observe t
Dagen POVWe heard her, talking to the other women and making them think they can live and survive. She spoke like she was going to fight for them.The moment I saw her shift, my body almost stilled. She has a collar on, anyone who is less than an Alpha shouldn't be able to shift, yet she did.Her wolf is remarkable, it's grey and white. Her eyes instantly turn golden and there's a crescent that shines on her wolf's head. Something I had never seen before.I don't stop though, I run at her, and she runs at me, which shocks me even more. She's meant to run, she's meant to be afraid, I'm meant to chase her!The moment our bodies collide, I know it hurt her. I heard the noise her wolf made, but she doesn't quit, she bites at me, her teeth snapping on my leg. She's strong, but not strong enough, I can easily get her off my leg.Our bodies tumble down, and I should just kill her, right? But something inside of me wants to draw this out and play with her. She's made this game interesting, s
Veyra POVI begin to move. "Mari, stop!" I chase after her, the others following me at a distance. "Wait, we need to plan!"She stops and turns to face me. Her face is soaked with tears. A loud howl comes, and she bolts forward again. I go to chase her, but then I see it."Wait! It's a trap!" I scream, but it's too late. She steps on it, and I see the arrows move and fly at her. Her body stills, and I see the blood staining the back of her shirt.The other women begin screaming now and panicking."Calm down!" I yell. "If you're hysterical, you won't see the traps!" My words are cold, trying to make them listen.Riven sobs into Sera's chest. Mari didn't last long. Our team of five dropped to four far too quickly."What do we do?" Olivia looks at me."Stick together, watch out for each other." That's all we can do. "Follow me," I whisper, and we move into the trees. I scan everywhere for any traps. They think they can take me down, but they forget, I was trained to be an alpha, and no t
Veyra POVI was born to rule. In the werewolf kingdom, the first child is always a male so there’s an alpha to run the pack in the future. Only for my family, they got a girl first.I’ve spent my entire life proving that I can be the alpha to our pack. Everyone doubted me, everyone believed I would fail, and tonight, I’ve proved them wrong.Tonight, I’m handed the title and become the alpha. I watch as the maids rush around me, each one doing something different. They are making sure I fit the part, look ready, and come across as powerful.Tonight isn’t just the night I get the title handed to me and take on my family’s pack. I marry my mate, and we claim each other.One of the maids pulls my dress, tightening it more.“Are you nervous, Miss Veyra?” the maid smiles as she straightens my dress.“No, I’m actually excited.”The maids smile at me softly.“And so you should be. The first female Alpha! The firstborn female, you were destined for greatness.”Their words are nice to hear, but...
