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."

Now, she's trapped, a pawn in his game, forced to warm his bed while he waits for his true mate, her heart breaking with every stolen moment. As a 'wolfless' in the Blackwood Pack, Anya felt like an outsider, always yearning for a connection.

The next morning, his cold indifference shattered her world. Publicly humiliated and instantly fired, Anya became a pariah.

Why did he demand her, only to remind her constantly of her worthlessness, especially when everyone knew he waited for his true mate? Her world crumbled when she overheard Declan tell his returning ""true mate,"" Kristin Larsen, that Anya was ""just a substitute."" Despite the crushing betrayal and a strange, unyielding pull, Anya, fueled by her mother's desperate need, vowed to survive this gilded cage and reclaim her life before she lost herself completely."

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
