Reckless: Corruption by Poppy Carter

His Blood, My Choice

When you’re hunting monsters, be careful not to become one.

I’ve infiltrated Sterling’s inner sanctum and discovered his terrifying plan: not just a virus that kills betas, but one that can rewrite designation at the genetic level. Now I’m forced to face an impossible question—am I fighting my father’s legacy or fulfilling it?

The virus has changed me in ways I’m only beginning to understand. As my scent shifts between beta and something dangerously close to omega, my pack faces their greatest challenge yet.

•Ryker, whose alpha command now wars with his need to keep me safe at any cost.

•Jinx, whose feral protectiveness grows more lethal as Sterling’s forces close in.

•Finn, fighting his own battle against the virus while racing to create a cure.

•Theo, whose heat approaches with devastating timing, threatening to expose our last vulnerabilities.

And then there’s my sister Mona – brilliant, chaotic, and playing a deeper game than any of us realized. With Sterling’s designation formula entering global deployment and our home in ashes, we’re running out of time. I’ll need every skill I’ve learned, every bond I’ve forged, and every piece of Sterling programming coded into my DNA to stop what’s coming.

Because this isn’t just about saving betas anymore.

It’s about saving what makes us human.
