Introduction

In a world where werewolves rule with an iron fist, Fiona Lawson's existence is defined by pain and struggle. Abused, bullied, and considered nothing more than a slave and omega, she endures a life devoid of hope and love. But when fate intertwines her path with Sebastian Rossi, an alpha lycan king and ruthless billionaire CEO of a mafia empire, their shared history of rejection and secrets collide.

Fiona, as a human and wolfless, carries a secret within her—a secret pregnancy borne from a forbidden past. As she becomes a target of a clandestine organisation seeking powerful werewolf offspring, Fiona's life takes a treacherous turn. Caught between danger and desire, she finds herself drawn closer to Sebastian, their forced proximity reigniting emotions they thought long buried.

But the path to redemption is paved with unforeseen twists. Fiona discovers an unexpected strength within herself, awakening dormant lycan abilities that challenge the very essence of her existence. As her power grows, she becomes entangled in a web of intrigue, manipulation, and the allure of a reverse harem—werewolf twins, triplets, or even quadruplets, each vying for her heart.

In this dark and sensual tale, her journey transcends mere survival. From a victim of circumstance, she emerges as a force to be reckoned with, embracing her inner power and defying the odds stacked against her. As she battles enemies and confronts her past, Fiona learns the true meaning of love, loyalty, and the courage to forge her destiny.

"The Redemption" is an alluring blend of werewolf fantasy, mafia intrigue, and tantalising romance. Dive into a world where second chances, secret pregnancies, and the allure of a reverse harem take centre stage. Will Fiona's resiliency and the ruthless charm of Sebastian be enough to overcome the trials they face?

Chapter 1

The oppressive weight of the past clings to my fragile existence and suffocates my spirit with every breath. I gaze out the grimy window of my dingy apartment, my eyes tracing the path of raindrops as they race down the glass. The world outside is a blur of grey, mirroring the desolation within me.

"Get up, Fiona! Stop moping around like a useless rag!" My stepfather's harsh voice slices through the air, shattering the fragile silence. I flinch, bracing myself for the onslaught of his anger. He's always like that. Pale face with ragged eyes that sag like from an unfinished movie.

"I-I'm sorry," I stammer, my voice barely a whisper. The remnants of the abuse still linger on my trembling body and their phantom touches are a constant reminder of my wretched existence.

"You're sorry? Sorry doesn't fix anything, you worthless piece of trash!" His words echo in my mind, the wounds they inflict seem deeper than any pain.

I pull myself up from the threadbare mattress, my movements slow and weighed down by the burden of my scars. As I stumble into the small, decrepit kitchen, the scent of stale cigarettes and despair fills the air.

"Where's my breakfast, Fiona?" He bellows and his voice reverberates through the walls, punctuated by the sound of his heavy footsteps drawing closer.

"I'm...I'm working on it," I reply, my voice trembling with fear. I fumble with the pans, struggling to steady my shaking hands. My heart pounds in my chest, a constant reminder of the vulnerability that binds me. I looked at the pans and continued what I was doing.

Suddenly, a loud crash startles me. His hand slams against the kitchen counter, mere inches away from my trembling form.

"You call this breakfast?" he seethes, his eyes searing into mine with contempt and sadistic pleasure. "You're useless, Fiona. Just like your worthless mother."


Hot tears stream down my face as I brace myself for the inevitable onslaught of his wrath. In this world of shadows, I am nothing more than a pawn in his twisted game. But somewhere deep within, a flicker of defiance begins to burn. I know what I want and what I can do to stop this but I have been afraid.

"No more," I whisper, my voice shaking. "I won't let you break me anymore."

Before he can react, I push past him, sprinting towards the door. I burst out into the rain-soaked streets, feeling the cool droplets mingle with my tears. I run, not knowing where I'm headed, driven by an instinctual need to escape the chains that bind me.

I walked into an alley away from the dilapidated building closer to our house. I find a lookout in the shelter of the alley, my body trembling and my heart pounding, the rain not stopping, a voice calls out to me from the shadows.

"Are you okay?"

Startled, I turn to face the stranger who has emerged from the darkness. His piercing gaze meets mine, filled with concern and an unspoken understanding. I wipe away my tears, summoning whatever strength remains within me.

"I will be," I reply, my voice steady despite the quiver in my soul.

He steps closer, extending a hand towards me. "I'm Sebastian. Let me help you."

"Help me?" I said looking at him and not knowing him from anywhere. I've not seen his face before but in his eyes, I see a glimmer of hope and a promise of something more.

"Yes, or you don't need help?"

I couldn't say anything. And as our hands touch, I feel a spark of connection, a sort of lifeline in the ruins of my shattered innocence.

"Come with me." He said softly.


I am Fiona Lawson, and this is my story of redemption.


Sebastian's hand remains outstretched, a lifeline offering solace in the chaos that surrounds me. I take a hesitant step forward, my eyes locked with him, searching for traces of deceit or malice. But all I find is a genuine concern.

"I...I don't even know you," I manage to utter. My voice was shaky.

His gaze softens, and he offers a reassuring smile. "You don't have to know me to realise that you deserve better than this," he says, gesturing toward the dilapidated alleyway, the embodiment of my past.

I take a deep breath, summoning the strength buried deep within me. "You're right," I whisper, my voice growing stronger. "I deserve better."

The rain continues to cascade around us, he steps closer and his presence envelops me in a shield of protection. "Come with me," he suggests, his tone gentle yet unwavering. "Let me show you a world beyond the darkness that has consumed you. Beyond this."

A wave of trepidation washes over me and the uncertainty of what lies ahead threatens to paralyse my resolve. But at that moment, I realise that I cannot remain trapped in the prison of my past any longer. I must take a leap of faith, for my survival.

"Yes," I finally responded, my voice filled with eagerness. "I'll go with you."

A smile spreads across his face and he extends his hand once again. This time, I reached out without hesitation, intertwining my fingers with his. The warmth of his touch sends a spark coursing through me and somehow ignites a newfound courage.

"What's your name?"

"Fiona," I said.

"Everything will be different now, Fiona," he assures me, his voice laced with staunch conviction. "You'll be fine. Your happiness matters."

I couldn't say anything.

We step out of the alleyway, leaving behind the broken fragments of my past. At that moment, I feel a whiff of hope flickering within me. The rain continues to fall.

"My car is just out there." He pointed to the T-shaped road outside the alley.

With each step we take, I find myself drawn further into knowing him and I cannot deny the sense of safety and belonging that accompanies him. For the first time in a long time, I allow myself to dream of a brighter tomorrow.

As we disappear into the rainy night, a new chapter begins—one filled with love, self-discovery and the possibility of healing my shattered innocence. With Sebastian by my side, I will face the challenges ahead, ready to conquer the demons that haunt me and reclaim the life I was meant to live.

"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.
