THE FRAGILE MASK

She is not a Beta. She is a harbinger of ruin. ​The pack led by High Alpha Dorian Volcan is a fortress of power and tradition. Yet, even within its walls, the greatest threats often wait in silence. Serra lives deep within the pack's hierarchy, disguised as a fearful, unremarkable assistant. Her truth, however, is that of a banished lineage—the last of the Red Alphas—and her entire existence is devoted to concealing the power behind her brittle facade. ​Serra’s objective was simple: Discover Dorian’s ultimate secret and orchestrate his downfall. ​But in the shadowed corridors of the grand library, Dorian’s lava-eyed gaze and his scent of oppressive rosemary begin to crack Serra’s mask. Dorian senses she is no simple lie; she is a dangerous contradiction. ​Yet, Dorian, too, carries a hidden burden. While Serra sought weakness, she instead finds a catastrophic threat lurking beneath his dominant veneer. This discovery does not save her from the crosshairs; it thrusts her directly into the epicenter of his danger. ​Now, these two adversaries are bound in a perilous engagement, playing the role of destined mates. Every touch is an interrogation, and every whisper is a lethal strike. ​The rule is absolute: If this fragile mask of an alliance falls, either Dorian’s terrible secret will shatter the pack, or Serra’s quest for vengeance will become her own tragic end. ​In this deadly game between the one who conceals power and the one who restrains it, whose mask will break first, and whose heart will follow?
