She trained seventeen years for one race. It took one blood test to end it.Maya Lin broke the national record and lost everything in the same week — her medal, her name, her career. Everyone says she cheated. Maya knows someone made sure the test came back dirty.The only person offering her a way back is her rival's ice-cold brother, a coach who trains athletes like he's daring them to quit. His training breaks her down and rebuilds her faster than should be possible.Then Maya finds out why.The academy isn't just elite. It's a pack. Kaelen isn't just intense. He's an Alpha. And the blood in Maya's veins isn't fully human — it belongs to a bloodline the supernatural world swore was extinct.Someone wanted to know what would happen if they woke that bloodline up. Maya survived being their experiment. Now she's the only one who can prove it.She has one shot at the World Championship, one Alpha who won't claim her because loving her could get her killed, and one conspiracy that goes all the way to the top of the sport she used to trust.Maya isn't running from what she is anymore.She's running toward the finish line she was always supposed to cross.

"I, Alpha Connor Blackwood, reject you, Evelyn Vance, as my mate and Luna."On the eve of her mating ceremony, Evelyn surrendered everything to her mate, Alpha Connor, trusting his tearful promises of eternal love. Less than twenty-four hours later, he publicly stripped her of her rank, cast her out into a lethal winter storm, and replaced her with her scheming half-sister.Left to freeze in the wilderness, Evelyn didn't just survive—she carried a secret: she was pregnant with Connor’s triplets.Five years later, the Blood-Moon Pack is collapsing under a mysterious plague. Desperate, Connor begs the Imperial Court for aid, expecting an old physician. Instead, stepping out of the Royal carriage is Evelyn—now "Dr. Vane," Chief Surgeon of the Empire, radiant, powerful, and flanked by three protective genius pups.Connor’s wolf loses its mind with regret. He drops to his knees, begging for a second chance. But someone far more dangerous steps out behind her: Emperor Kaelen Volkov, the most ruthless Lycan alive, who pulls Evelyn to his chest and wraps his terrifying aura around her."She was your trash," the Emperor growls, eyes glowing lethal crimson. "But she is my Empress. Touch her again, and I erase your pack from the map."
