Lucas, my fiancé, marked his "close friend" Sarah at the bachelor party, prompting cheers and laughter as everyone teased it was the craziest "dare" of all. The next day, when I confronted him, Sarah wrapped her arms around his neck, provocatively displaying the bite mark on her neck. "Elena, don't be stingy. I was just testing how good his teeth are and how he performs in bed for you." Lucas, looking impatient, added, "It's just a symbolic gesture, not like it can't be washed off. Once Sarah and I finish our phase, I'll reject her and re-mark you, okay?" They thought I would endure it silently, just like before. Instead, I took off my engagement ring and tossed it into the trash with a smile. "If it's dirty, it's not worth keeping." Lucas panicked and tried to stop me, but Sarah whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, she's just an orphan. Without you, she's got nowhere to go. She'll be begging you on her knees within three days." But what they didn't know was that the one returning in three days wouldn't be the kneeling me, but my father, the Lycan King, with fifty thousand wolf clan guards, as part of our supernatural heritage.

Chapter 1

The gathering hall of the Silver Moon Pack was thick with the stench of ale and sweat, the whole place humid enough to make my lungs protest.

I, Elena Kingsley, stood at the entrance, staring at the two people trapped in the center of the crowd.

My fiancé, Lucas Hale, was bare-chested, sweat rolling down the ridges of his muscles.

And Sarah Quinn, my so-called best friend, was wrapped around him like a clinging vine.

A fresh, crimson bite stood out against the soft skin along her neck's artery, still seeping blood.

It was an Alpha's lifelong mating mark, a vow etched straight into the soul.

When Lucas's cronies spotted me, they didn't quiet down at all. If anything, they whistled louder.

"Hey, look who's here, the official Luna-to-be!"

"Elena, get over here! This was last night's ultimate dare punishment!"

Lucas finally noticed me, his hand still glued to Sarah's waist. He didn't look even remotely guilty.

"What are you doing here?"

I pointed at the wound on Sarah's neck. "What is that supposed to be?"

Sarah jumped in before he could answer. "Elena, don't get the wrong idea. We were drunk, playing truth or dare. Lucas lost, and the punishment was to mark a random girl on the spot. You know how Lucas is. He wouldn't even look at the other she-wolves here. So I had to... volunteer myself."

I looked at Lucas, waiting for him to say something-anything.

Instead, he frowned. "Elena, seriously? We were just messing around. Sarah was helping me out. What, you wanted me to mark some stranger instead? You should be thanking her."

"Thank her?" My stomach twisted so hard I nearly gagged. "You turned the most sacred mark in our kind into a party punishment?"

Someone nearby burst into loud, mocking laughter.

"Come on, Elena, that's ancient thinking. Nobody believes that old legend stuff anymore."

Sarah lifted her head from Lucas's chest, her eyes sparkling with challenge.

"Elena, you're not jealous, are you? I was just helping you test Lucas's Alpha stamina. Can't deny it... Lucas was incredible last night."

Sarah dragged out the last word, letting her gaze sweep over him in a way that made my skin crawl. Lucas puffed up instantly, soaking in the praise.

Lucas lifted his chin, pretending to be magnanimous.

"Enough, Elena, quit making a scene. You're embarrassing me in front of the guys. After this week's... temporary heat with Sarah dies down, I'll have the Healer wipe the mark. Then I'll reject her, and we can still have your Luna Coronation next month like nothing happened."

He paused, the contempt in his voice sharp enough to cut. "Besides, you're a Beta. No pheromones, no instinctive response to a mating mark. You don't even need that kind of intensity, right?"

So that was all I was to him-an adopted Beta orphan, someone he could walk over without consequence.

I stopped watching their pathetic performance and slipped the moonstone ring off my finger.

I walked to the trash bin. With every eye in the hall on me, I opened my hand.

The ring dropped straight into a pile of vomit and crumpled paper.

"No need to wash it if it's already filthy. Just throw it away."

The hall fell silent.

Lucas's smirk vanished. He shoved Sarah aside. "Elena! What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"The literal meaning." I kept my voice icy. "Lucas, we're done."

With that, I turned and walked away.

Lucas tried to follow, but Sarah grabbed his arm.

Sarah leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Lucas, relax. She's throwing a tantrum, that's all. She's an orphan. Without you, she's done for. Give it three days-she'll crawl back crying and begging."

Lucas froze, then shouted at my back with all the venom he could muster, "Elena! If you walk out that door today, don't you dare come begging later! You won't set foot in my house again unless you crawl from the door to my bed!"

A louder wave of laughter erupted behind me.

I didn't look back.

I walked straight out of the hall, pulled out my phone, and dialed a number I hadn't called in years.

"Hello."

The voice on the other end was old, but threaded with authority.

"Your Highness? Is that you?"

"It's me." My voice was steady, utterly calm. "Inform my father-the trial is over. I'm coming home."

For seventeen years, I was the pride of the Carlisle family, the perfect daughter destined to inherit an empire. But that life ended the moment a DNA report slid across my father’s mahogany desk. The paper proved I was a stranger. Vanessa, the girl sobbing in the corner, was the real biological daughter they had been searching for. "You need to leave. Tonight. Before the press gets wind of this. Before the stock prices dip." My father’s voice was as cold as flint. My mother wouldn't even look at me, staring out the window at the gardens as if I were already a ghost. Just like that, I was erased. I left behind the Birkin bags and the diamonds, throwing my Centurion Card into a crystal bowl with a clatter that echoed like a gunshot. I walked out into the cold night and climbed into a rusted Ford Taurus driven by a man I had never met—my biological father. I went from a mansion to a fourth-floor walk-up in Queens that smelled of laundry detergent and struggle. My new siblings looked at me with a mix of fear and disgust, waiting for the "fallen princess" to break. They expected me to beg for my old life back, to crumble without the luxury I’d known since birth. But they didn't know the truth. I had spent years training in a shark tank, honing survival skills they couldn't imagine. While Richard Carlisle froze my trust funds to starve me out, my net worth was climbing by millions on an encrypted trading app. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves. They didn't realize they were just letting me off my leash. As the Carlisles prepared to debut Vanessa at the Manhattan Arts Gala, I was already making my move. "Get dressed. We're going to a party."

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
