Dying from overwork was unfortunate.
Waking up inside her favorite urban fantasy novel as its most notorious villainess? That was downright insulting.
Twenty-six-year-old corporate risk analyst Evelyn never expected to get a second chance at life, much less one with an expiration date.
Now she's Evelyn Vance, the infamous corporate heiress destined to lose everything: her fortune, her reputation, and her engagement to Jacob Blackwood, the city's most powerful Alpha.
According to the original storyline, her desperate pursuit of Jacob will end in public humiliation, exile, and a gruesome death at the claws of rogue wolves.
Her estimated life expectancy?
Fifty chapters.
Evelyn refuses to accept those odds.
After all, she's spent years identifying risks, calculating losses, and preventing financial disasters. Surely escaping a fictional death sentence can't be that difficult.
Her strategy is simple: terminate the engagement, protect her inheritance, liquidate her interests in the pack, and disappear into neutral human territory.
No romance. No political entanglements. And absolutely no dying over a man who doesn't love her.
So, at the Vance-Blackwood engagement banquet, she calmly announces her decision.
"After reviewing the terms of our alliance, I've concluded that continuing this engagement exposes both parties to unnecessary risk. I propose an immediate dissolution."
She expects Jacob to accept.
The original Evelyn spent years chasing his affection, competing for his attention, and desperately trying to become indispensable to him. Surely he'll welcome her sudden departure.
But Jacob Blackwood isn't pleased.
For the first time, his fiancée isn't begging for his attention. She isn't throwing tantrums, making accusations, or competing with the woman he actually wants.
She's simply walking away.
And as Evelyn begins dismantling her former life, something far more troubling catches his attention.
Her financial decisions are too precise. Her questions about old family agreements are too specific. And her knowledge of the Blackwood pack's affairs borders on the impossible.
The woman he once considered predictable has suddenly become a mystery he can't ignore.
Meanwhile, the original heroine is still moving toward her destined future, and the rogue-wolf attack that once sealed Evelyn Vance's fate is drawing closer.
Evelyn only wanted to escape a story that was never meant to end well for her.
But the more she changes the plot, the more dangerous the consequences become.
She was supposed to be a disposable villainess. Instead, she's becoming the one variable that could destroy the entire storyline.
And this time, surviving might mean rewriting everyone's fate—including the Alpha's.
Most werewolf stories are of weak female lead at the start this one is different.
I like the way plot twists of the story are.
