Introduction

An original story by Xena Kessler
My back hit the desk. Pain exploded through my skull.
"Girls like you don't get to dream about guys like Kai." Bella's breath was hot on my face. "You don't get to write pathetic love letters."
She shoved me again. Harder.
"Maybe if you weren't such a desperate little—"
I fell. My head cracked against the corner.
Warmth trickled down my neck. Blood.
Their laughter turned to gasps.
The door slammed.
I tried to stand. Couldn't. The room was spinning, fading to black.
Someone... please...
Angelina, the most powerful Alpha who conquered forty-nine packs, dies in a yacht explosion—only to wake up as Aria Sterling, a fifteen-year-old Omega's daughter who just died from bullying.
The original Aria's life was a nightmare. Humiliated when golden boy Kai Matthews posted her love letter online, then shoved to death by his girlfriend Bella Morrison. But that's not all her family faces:
"You got until Monday," the tattooed gangster sneered at Aria's mother. "Ten grand cash. Or I'm taking collateral—your kids' organs fetch top dollar. That pretty daughter of yours? She could make us money another way too."
Now Angelina's lethal combat skills awaken in this fragile body. No more hiding. No more fear.
Armed with an Alpha's ruthlessness and a mysterious blood-red pendant, she'll dismantle everyone who hurt this family—one calculated move at a time.

Chapter 1

Angelina’s POV

The Pacific sun hit my wine glass just right, turning the Cabernet the color of fresh blood. I leaned back against the yacht's railing, letting the ocean breeze pull at my hair.

"Alpha." My head of security's voice crackled through the earpiece. "Perimeter clear. Ten miles out, nothing but open water."

"Copy that."

Five years. That's how long it took to conquer forty-nine packs and unite them under Riverbend's banner. Some called me ruthless. Others called me a visionary.

I thought, watching a seagull dive for fish.

"Zzzzt—zzzzzt—"

The communications array died with a screech.

Then nothing. Dead air.

My hand went to the gun at my hip before I'd even processed the thought.

But too late.

"BOOM!"

The yacht shuddered.

My Pack link started to fuzz out. Static where there should've been voices. Interference where there should've been clarity.

EMP, I realized. They hit us with an electromagnetic pulse.

Which meant someone had just fried every electronic system on board. The monitoring equipment, the weapons systems, the communications—all of it. Gone.

But killing the Pack link? That took serious magic. The kind of magic that cost a fortune and left a trail of bodies.

Blackout, I thought. They actually grew a pair.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

Gunfire erupted from the lower decks. Screams. Snarls. The wet sound of something tearing.

I didn't hesitate. Grabbed the railing and vaulted over, dropping three levels to land in a crouch on the main deck.

Five of my guards were already down. Bullets through the heart, every single one.

Eight figures in black tactical gear stood over the bodies, weapons trained on the doorways where my remaining guards would be pouring out any second. Human scent, laced with gun oil and something else—wolfsbane, probably. The spray kind that burned like acid.

One of them turned to face me, and I felt my lips pull back in something that wasn't quite a smile.

"Drake." I let his name roll off my tongue like a curse. "Didn't think you'd be stupid enough to come yourself."

He lowered his rifle just enough to meet my eyes. Tall, scarred, the kind of face that had seen too much violence and decided it liked the view. Former special forces turned mercenary turned hunter. I'd heard the stories.

"Angelina." His voice was gravel and smoke. "Blackout's offering fifty million for your head. The Order kicked in another ten. Sixty million total." He tilted his head. "That's enough to keep my family comfortable for generations."

"If you live to collect it."

"There's the catch, isn't it?" He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. "So let's make this quick."

The air itself seemed to press down as my Alpha presence flooded out. All eight hunters took a step back. Couldn't help it.

"Open fire!"

Bullets tore through the air where I'd been standing.

Silver rounds punched through the deck, ripped through railings, shattered windows.

But I was already moving, too fast for their eyes to track. A bullet grazed my shoulder. Another tore through my jacket.

The shift hit like a freight train. Bones cracking, reshaping, my entire skeleton rearranging itself in the space of three seconds.

The hunters' faces went white.

Drake managed to lift his rifle. "Sh—"

I was on him before he could finish the word.

Sixty seconds. That's all it took.

The first hunter's throat opened under my claws, arterial spray painting the deck red. The second one I caught mid-run, jaws closing around his spine with a wet crunch. Three, four, five—they fell like dominoes, like they'd never even held a weapon before.

Silver bullets punched into my hide. Burned like hellfire, but I'd had worse.

Seven down. Just Drake left.

He'd backed up against the railing, rifle gone, just a silver combat knife in his shaking hand. Blood streaked his tactical vest.

I stalked toward him, slow and deliberate. Let him understand exactly how outmatched he'd been from the start.

"W-wait—" His voice cracked.

I shifted back to human form, standing naked and blood-splattered in front of him. The necklace expanded with me, settling back against my throat.

"Go back to Blackout," I said softly. "Tell those old bastards that even if I die today, I'll crawl out of hell itself to rip their hearts out. Understand?"

He nodded so fast I thought his neck might snap.

"Good. Now get the fuck off my boat."

Drake scrambled toward the emergency ladder, nearly falling twice. I watched him go, already calculating my next move. Blackout wouldn't stop with one failed attempt. They'd come harder next time.

Let them try, I thought. I —

Yara's voice exploded through my head, pure panic:

DANGER! ANGELINA, RUN!

My instincts screamed the same warning a split second later.

I breathed in deep, sorting through the scents.

Ocean. Blood. Gunpowder. Wolfsbane.

And something else. Faint, almost hidden beneath the sea breeze.

C4.

Shit.

"BOOM!"

The yacht's bottom erupted in a chain of explosions, one after another, fire climbing into the sky. The whole vessel lurched sideways, metal screaming as it started to tear itself apart.

I ran for the railing and jumped.

Wasn't fast enough.

"BOOM!!!"

The final explosion caught me mid-air, a wall of force and flame that swatted me out of the sky like an insect. I felt ribs crack, organs rupture, something vital tear loose inside my chest.

Then I hit the water.

Cold. So cold.

I couldn't hold my wolf form anymore. As I sank, blood streaming from my mouth and nose, staining the Pacific red around me.

Down. Down. Down.

Is this it? I thought, watching bubbles trail past my face. This is how it ends?

Five years conquering the werewolf world, and I'd die in the ocean like any other drowning victim. No epic last stand. No going down fighting.

Just... sinking.

No. The thought came fierce and desperate. Not yet. I still have things to do. People to find.

My parents. The ones who'd abandoned me as a child, left me to claw my way up from nothing. I still needed answers. Still needed to look them in the eye and ask why.

Why have a child just to throw her away?

The necklace pulsed against my throat. Warm. Getting warmer.

I tried to lift my hand, fingers numb and clumsy. Touched the wolf fang with the last of my strength.

The pendant exploded with red light.

Bright, so bright it burned even through my closed eyelids. The warmth spread from my throat through my whole body, not painful but alive, like the necklace was waking up after sleeping for years.

It pulsed in rhythm with my failing heartbeat. Once. Twice. Faster and faster, the red glow intensifying until I was wrapped in it, cocooned in crimson light that turned the dark water into something that looked like blood.

The burning got stronger, hotter, but I wasn't afraid. This wasn't the heat of death.

This was something else.

Something impossible.

Rebirth.

The light swallowed me completely, a crimson cocoon sinking deeper into the Pacific's black heart. Down and down, until the surface was just a memory and the pressure should've crushed my bones to powder.

But I didn't feel crushed.

I felt... held.

Beyond the light, like a dream.

There—

A beginning.

"White wolf! Kill that monster!"
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.

"You want my forgiveness?" he asked, my voice dropping to a dangerous timbre.

Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.

"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.

My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.

My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.

Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...

I was supposed to die alone in an alley.

Instead, a god found me.

One moment, I was bleeding beneath the neon glow of the city, my life slipping through my fingers. The next, a glowing blue screen appeared before my eyes, offering me a choice that was never really a choice at all.

Accept the Summoner’s Mark. Or die.

Now I belong to the Death Game — a brutal cosmic system where ordinary people are turned into Players, thrown into impossible missions, and forced to survive horrors designed for the amusement of gods.

Every trial has rules.
Every monster has a weakness.
Every victory comes with a reward.

And every reward makes me less human.

My name is Nerissa Valehart, and I refuse to be anyone’s pawn.

But surviving the Game means trusting the one man everyone warns me to fear.

Veyren Ashford is ruthless, powerful, and dangerously beautiful — a veteran Player with blood on his hands and secrets in his soul. He says attachment will get me killed. He says love is a weakness the Game always punishes.

Yet when death comes for me, Veyren is the one standing between us.

In a world where gods gamble with mortal lives, monsters hunt from the shadows, and desire may be the deadliest weakness of all, I have only one goal:

Survive long enough to cross the board.
