I woke up with no memories and a silver bracelet that burns. Now I've created forty-seven werewolves, and they're calling me Mother.
Dr. Victoria Kane has built a perfect life. Successful geneticist. Groundbreaking research. A brilliant career fixing violent criminals through gene therapy.
There's just one problem: none of it is real.
When my experimental treatment transforms forty-seven inmates into werewolves overnight, everything I thought I knew shatters. The wolf DNA wasn't proprietary research—it was harvested from my own blood. The silver bracelet I've worn for five years isn't jewelry—it's a suppression charm. And the nightmares I can't remember?
They're my real life trying to break through.
Then he walks into my crime scene. Dominic Ashford—Alpha werewolf, impossibly dangerous, claiming we were mates before someone stole my memories and made me forget what I really am.
"You knew me once," he says, showing me photos of a woman who looks like me but lives like fire. "Before they caged you. Before they made you forget."
I want to call him insane. Want to believe in science and logic and the rational world I've built.
But my creations are hunting me. The bracelet is burning hotter every day. And when Dominic touches me, I feel something wake up inside—something wild and powerful and absolutely terrifying.
The Hollow Wolves want their Mother. My "brother" is lying about everything. And the mate bond I don't remember is the only thing keeping me alive.
Now I have to choose:
Stay human and safe, or embrace the monster I was always meant to be.
Reclaim my memories, or lose myself to the darkness inside.
Trust the Alpha who says he loves me, or believe the family who's been drugging me for five years.
My name is Victoria Kane. I'm a hybrid werewolf-witch who accidentally created an army of monsters.
And I'm about to remember why they were so desperate to make me forget.
