Nyla Rivers has known nothing but pain, betrayal, and shame her entire life. As a slave in the Silver Dawn Pack, she suffered endless abuse until the fateful day she learned that the cruel and feared Alpha Killian Blackwood was her mate. But instead of love, she got criticism. Humiliated and dumped, Nyla was accused of treason, called a criminal, and ordered to death. Killed at the hands of the ruthless Alpha Darius, she took her final breath filled with pain and despair… Only to awaken again, reborn by the Moon Goddess herself. This time, Nyla is no longer weak. No longer useless. Armed with banned skills and an unbreakable will, she returns under a new identity—dead set on payback against those who wronged her. But as she rises, so does Killian’s sorrow. Now, the Alpha who once refused her will do anything to have her back. But Nyla is no longer the sad slave he once knew. She is revenge. She is power. And she will make them all pay. But when new enemies arise, and dark truths come to light, Nyla must make a choice: payback or redemption?

But at what price?With my hands shaking, I knelt next to Killian's motionless corpse. He had chilly skin. He had closed his once-bright silver eyes."No." My voice cracked. "You said you would..."Around us, the Silver Dawn soldiers stood, their faces displaying weariness and sorrow. The outlaws who had defended Damon had either escaped or given up.It was done.We were victorious.However, winning seemed like a terrible joke.The silence was broken by a voice."My Queen."I raised my head. A pack elder walked forward, his visage etched with age and experience. He went to his knees.Then came another warrior.And yet another.The whole army was kneeling in front of me in a matter of seconds.I felt like I was struck in the chest by the understanding.Now I ruled over them. The Queen of Crimson.I ought to have felt strong. I ought to have been
Nyla’s POVThe voice of the beast slithered in my head. You can't prevail. If you give in, I'll spare them.I trembled all over, clenching my hands. Before me, a soaring shadow of devastation, Fenris loomed. The air pressed like a cage against my flesh, crackling with dark electricity.I snarled, tensing my knees to remain upright, "I am not afraid of you."A rumbling of deep laughter came from Fenris. You ought to be.Its ancient, weighty strength swirled around me. It was alluring. I could be stronger than ever if I gave up and let Fenris take over.However, I was aware that I would no longer be myself.I was knocked backward by a strong gust of wind and barely managed to catch myself before colliding with the ground. As Fenris moved forward, its red eyes glimmering with hunger, my heart raced."You expect me to simply bow down to you?" I wiped blood off my lip and spat. "All you are is a monster."With its enormous claws biting into the ground, Fenris snarled. Then pass away as an
Nyla’s POVThe earth shook fiercely beneath me. Dark energy filled the air, making it dense. With the wound from the betrayal still fresh, I gripped my side. My eyesight flickered, but I made myself stand.With his arms held high and shouting in a tongue that had been lost to time, Valric stood in the middle of the summoning circle. Below him, crimson light rushed through the seal, spreading outward like veins piercing the ground."Stop him!" The battlefield echoed with the sound of Killian's voice.Damon hesitated, still in his monster shape. It seems that even he was unaware of Valric's true intentions.I stepped forward unsteadily. "Valric! You have no idea what you're letting loose."He grinned as he fixed me with his icy, silver look. Yes, but I do. And the key is you, my love."The ground burst beneath me before I could respond.The sky was broken by a thunderous roar. The battleground was divided by the ragged lines formed by the soil cracking open. Both sides' warriors fought
Nyla’s POVAlthough there were storm clouds in the sky, the actual storm was on the battlefield. The air was filled with roars, growls, and the clash of steel. There was a strong smell of blood that blended with the smoldering smell of the war-torn communities.With my warriors standing behind me, their eyes blazing with resolve, I stood at the forefront of Silver Dawn.The mercenaries, traitors, and rogues who had pledged allegiance to Damon's army were arranged in formation across from us. Damon himself stood tall in the middle, a sly smile on his lips."This is your last chance, Nyla," he yelled. "Surrender now, and I might show mercy."I took a step forward and spoke steadily. "You don’t know the meaning of mercy."His smile got bigger. "Then let’s end this."The atmosphere stiffened.Then, anarchy broke out.Wolves moved, charging into combat. Swords clashed. Flesh was torn apart by teeth. Warriors clashed in a flurry of fur and steel, causing the ground to tremble.I sped across
Nyla’s POVIn my head, a deep voice said. "You have strength. However, you might be unstoppable.With a shock, I opened my eyes to see that I was in a pitch-black space. The air was dense with force and felt heavy."Where am I?" I said.As the voice replied, "You are inside your own mind," "Where your true power lies."With my heart racing, I turned. From the darkness, a figure moved forward—a lady who looked precisely like me, but her eyes flashed red, and her aura surged with black energy.She grinned. "Nyla, I am you. The aspect of yourself that isn't begging. The aspect of you that gives in to her demands."I balled my fists up. "I don’t want you."She chuckled softly, almost playfully. And now you say that. Tell me, though. You were sick of being weak, weren't you? Fearful? Worthless?"I winced. "I was never useless.""Weren’t you?" Like a predator, she moved closer and circled me. "You had no control over Logan's betrayal. When your pack turned against you, you had no control. Y
Nyla’s POVValric's weighty words were carried like a curse by the howling wind through the old ruins. I felt the weird energy still flowing through me, so I tightened my fists. I was unprepared for this, and my breath came quickly.Valric's bright eyes shone in the gloom as he stood upright. "A force that can either save or destroy us all has been awakened by you." Despite the calmness of his voice, there was an indisputable weight to each phrase. "You will be the end of all werewolves if you can't control it."With a dry throat, I swallowed hard. Doom? Me?Killian moved to stand next to me, his presence steady and reassuring. "She poses no threat," he snarled. "She is gaining knowledge."Valric's head cocked slightly. "Learning?" He gave a little laugh. "Have you noticed what transpired back there? In a single outburst, she almost destroyed the entire country. His eyes strayed to me. That gave you a taste of what's inside. If you are unable to master it— He stopped and moved in clos
Nyla’s POVThe smell of ancient parchment and dust filled the library. Books that hadn't been read in decades were stacked high on shelves.Killian and I were surrounded by large piles of books as we stood in front of a huge wooden table. There were lengthy shadows against the walls as the candlelight flickered.I flipped over another old book and said, "We have to find something." With the weight of the past bearing down on me, my hands shook a little. "The enemy my father warned me about is here now."Killian was standing next to me, running his fingers along book spines. "The werewolf king of old." His name was Valric.I looked at it. "Have you heard his name?"Killian gave a nod. He whispered it before he disappeared. The Eternal Valric.I shivered when I heard the name. Eternal. As though he had never really gone.I went back to the book and looked over the pages to see if there was anything we could use. I noticed a soiled piece of parchment nestled between the pages. I carefull
Nyla’s POVThe chilly night air brushed over my skin as I sat by myself in the thick forest, knees drawn to my chest. Everything was bathed in a gentle silver radiance from the full moon overhead. I ought to have felt calm. But the only thing I could feel was the weight of fear.Not my phobia. Theirs.Logan, the pack, and even Killian had it in their eyes, and I could see it.They feared me.I balled my fists up. Was I turning into just what they were afraid of? I kept thinking about what Damon had said. A queen is nothing without her pack.I tried to block it all out by tightly closing my eyes. The conflict, my tantrum, and how Killian had to restrain me before I lost all self-control.Was I becoming someone else?Behind me, footsteps rustled. I didn't look around. I recognized the person already.Killian.At first, he remained silent. He just sat quietly next to me and observed the night. He was solid and friendly. The only thing in the jumble of my mind that felt real.I said, "You
Nyla’s POVAlthough Logan was quick, I was quicker. With its claws cutting through the air, his enormous wolf lunged. Just in time, I twisted my body to dodge. The force of his onslaught caused the ground under us to crumble."Stop, Logan!" Logan ignored the boom of Killian's words.He attacked me once more, his motions irregular, his look wild, almost unearthly. There was a problem. Logan was being controlled in addition to fighting.Heart racing, I ducked under his next blow. "This isn't you, Logan!"He bared his teeth and snarled. Blood was drawn from my arm as his claws brushed against it. I hardly noticed. I was too preoccupied with what I felt was behind the anger—something sinister, something alien.Killian slammed into Logan with raw fury, blocking his next move. "Beta, stand down!"Logan didn't stop, though. Like a puppet on unseen strings, he fought heedlessly.Stretching my senses beyond the physical struggle, I took a trembling breath. At that moment, I sensed a chilly, cr
Nyla’s POVThe smell of roasted meat and blazing wood filled the air. For me, the Moon Festival was a nightmare, even though it was supposed to be a night of joy. Unaware—or perhaps indifferent—that I was kneeling in the mud, terrified under their Alpha's ruthless stare, the Silver Dawn Pack applauded, laughed, and danced around the huge bonfire.Alpha Killian echoed across the gathering, "Look at her." "This pitiful, useless slave dared to think she was on par with me."Whispers and vile laughter reverberated about me as I shuddered and lowered my head. I wasn't shocked. I had been treated like dirt beneath their feet, a slave in this pack since birth.However, this? I had never experienced anything worse than this.Killian stepped forward, his strong body looming over me, his icy blue eyes brimming with contempt. The identical eyes that ought to have given me a loving gaze.I ventured to look up. "Killian, please"I fell to the ground after taking a hard slap across my face. There w...
