Marked Registry: The Alpha's Target

"Run," the Bureau's deadliest enforcer growls against my throat, pinning me into the shadows as the terminal screen behind us flashes my name in blood-red. Cain Locke is supposed to execute me on sight. Instead, his lethal grip tightens, shielding me from the sweep of silver-tipped lasers. On my eighteenth birthday, the government branded me into the Marked Registry—a surveillance protocol designed to track every werewolf alive. They called it peace. But when my best friend vanishes during a full moon, I uncover the horrific truth: the registry isn't a safety measure. It is a kill list. Desperate for answers, I infiltrate the Bureau's underground archives and run straight into Cain. He is ruthless, feared across the city, and bound by duty to the ruthless Deputy Director. Every instinct screams he is my enemy, yet every time he corners me, he leaves a breadcrumb leading closer to the conspiracy. Now, my name has turned into an active Red Clearance target with a seventy-two-hour countdown ticking to zero. To rescue my best friend and survive the next full moon, I must place my life in the hands of the very predator sworn to destroy me.
