Her husband had a dream to become the strongest Alpha and unite the Eastern regions. So for five years, Rena Mirel buried herself in research to create something that could make her husband's dream come true. 

Yet, just when success was within reach, Rena realised her entire life was nothing more than a lie. 

After discovering her marriage was nothing more than a carefully staged sham, she lost everything in one devastating blow. And the man she once called husband was preparing to marry another woman, as if their life together never existed.

As though to him, she was simply disposable.

To the world, she was foolish.

But grief is a dangerous thing when it hardens into resolve.

So when Rhys Carter, Rogue Billionaire, powerful, ruthless, and nothing like the weak man she once loved, shows interest in her research, she is faced with a choice.

Stay broken…
Or rise.

This time, she’s not choosing a scumbag.

She’s choosing power.

And the Alpha she plans to pick does not lose.

I blinked hard and waited for Alpha Rhys to laugh or say that he was joking, but after a minute, his face remained serious and unchanging. 


I swallowed. "You are joking, right?" 


His lips curled up slightly. "We don't have the time for jokes, Rena."


"Earlier, I also was in disagreement with the marriage idea, but after our investigation and analysis, we have realized that this might become difficult to prove easily."


I wanted to intercept, but he continued almost immediately. "You said you worked at the Pack's clinic, but because Iron Ridge is a small Pack, our men said there was no staff logbook or cameras to obtain evidence from." 


There used to be a logbook, but I won't be surprised if Vanessa and Jason made it disappear. 


"Despite working at the research institute, if we decide to use that as an argument, you would most certainly have more eyes on the strength-altering serum. You might even have to submit the current batch that Nancy took."
