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 sat on my couch and stared at the blank wall, still unable to believe what had happened. My mind was stuck on one thought: Ema, my very best friend, had actually chosen to trust that werewolf guy over me. It felt like a physical weight in my chest. We had been through everything together. I was the one who was there when her mother was screaming at her and making her life miserable. I was the one who shared my lunch money when she had absolutely nothing to eat. I was the one who sat with her in the school bathroom while she cried because life felt too heavy for her to carry. I had always had her back. But when it really mattered, she picked him. She chose a stranger who had done nothing but drag her into a world filled with monsters and constant danger.
