The Alpha’s Substitute Love

In the brutal world of wolf packs, Emerald was a fierce rogue—until slavery stripped her of everything. "You're not here to live," Alpha Joel declares coldly, "you're here to replace Lena."
Purchased not for freedom, but to fill the void of a dead woman, Emerald becomes a living ghost. "I'm not her," she challenges. Joel's dark eyes respond, "But every time I look at you, I see her."
Trapped between Joel's haunting obsession and her own survival, Emerald walks a razor's edge. Is she destined to be a mere shadow of a memory, or will she carve her own path?
A story of possession, identity, and the thin line between love and ownership—where survival means becoming someone else entirely.
