Chapter 1 - THE WOMAN EVERY WOLF KNELT TO
After an exhausted junior auditor named Kiara Ortiz accidentally falls asleep in billionaire Alpha Dashiell Garcia’s penthouse, she wakes wearing his shirt and walks straight into public humiliation from his sister, Bianca. But Dashiell notices a strange circular mark on Kiara’s wrist—and quickly realizes Bianca is lying about how it got there.
Security footage reveals that while Kiara slept, someone disabled the penthouse cameras, accessed the mysterious Archive Seven using credentials registered to Kiara eleven years earlier, and planted an access key near her. Kiara then reveals a hidden bank transfer carrying the authorization code of Dashiell’s mother, who supposedly died six years ago.
The mystery becomes terrifying when Dashiell discovers Kiara has been secretly listed in an old pack registry since childhood with one warning:
DORMANT — DO NOT AWAKEN.
An old photograph connects Kiara’s grandmother to Dashiell’s mother, while a message orders someone to “KEEP HER HUMAN UNTIL THE KING IS READY.”
Then Bianca admits she was not trying to frame Kiara for theft.
She was trying to get her out before the people who murdered Dashiell’s mother could smell her.
Seconds later, a man Dashiell believed had been dead for twelve years steps from the elevator.
His father.
And instead of greeting his son, the older Alpha kneels before Kiara.
So does every wolf around him.
