ALOUVE

Born wolfless in a world where power is measured by the beast within, Ingrid Hearst defied every expectation. Trained by her adoptive father, the formidable Alpha Alistair, she rose above her limitations, to become a deadly assassin. Her name became a legend whispered across Arathia when she single-handedly brought down a ruthless Alpha.  

But triumph turned into tragedy. After Alistair’s death, Ingrid was betrayed by the pack she once called family. Cast out as a disgrace, chained, and tortured for being wolfless, she was sold for thirty gold coins, to the ruthless Zagreus Hawthorne, a royal yet mischievous vampire. Desperate to break free from the chain of her past to start a new life, Ingrid accepted the cunning proposal of the mischievous man, unaware of the deceit lurking behind his silver-tongue promises.

Ingrid must use her lethal skills to fulfill Zagreus's demand. A dangerous task involving the downfall of Zagreus’ long standing enemy: To bring the vicious Alpha of Enigma, Vesarius Rage down to his knees. 

With nothing more to lose, Ingrid is determined to hunt that beast down even if it means chasing him into the very depths of hell. However, as she delves deeper into her mission, secrets of her past emerge, and the freedom she seeks may come at a price far greater than she imagined: because dealing with the menacing Alpha is a very dangerous game to play. 

And in a deadly game of betrayal and survival, where power reigns absolute. Ingrid must decide: will she remain the prey, or will she rise as the huntress she was made to be?

The Huntress Omega

Ingrid's nightmares became relentless—visions of fire, blood, and ruin.

Sometimes she saw herself standing over Rage's broken body, his eyes vacant and betrayed. Other nights, she stood amidst the ruins of Enigma, its people—vampires, werewolves, humans—all fallen at her feet.

Waking up brought no solace. The chamber felt colder, the air suffocating. The faces of those around her—Rage, Zereth, Asval—were tinted with suspicion, fear veiled as caution.

One morning, as the first pale light broke through the narrow window, Ingrid awoke with a start. Her hands were covered in blood—dark, sticky, fresh. Her heart thudded painfully as her gaze followed the crimson trail leading from her fingers to the sheets.

"No. . .no, no, no," she whispered, her voice trembling.
