My husband brought a woman home and introduced her as a "Breeder." He swore it was strictly for the pack's survival, claiming my body was too weak to carry an Alpha heir. I believed him. I swallowed my pride and accepted the humiliation because we were Fated Mates. But at the Spring Banquet, the lie crumbled.

The metaphysical backlash hit me like a physical blow. In the ensuing chaos, a massive champagne tower collapsed, slicing my skin to ribbons. While I stood there bleeding, Bennett didn't even glance at me. He tackled her to the ground to protect her from a harmless splash of water, roaring about his "precious heir." "Get her out of my sight," he snarled at me, his eyes cold and unfeeling. "She is no longer my mate." He thought I would break. He thought I would stay in the corner, a dutiful, barren Luna waiting for him to finish playing house. He was wrong. I walked into his office, shredded the documents that gave him access to my family's fortune, and booked a one-way ticket to Paris. When he finally realizes that the "Breeder" is nothing but a fraud and tries to use the Alpha Command to drag me back, he's going to find nothing but an empty room. The Luna he rejected is dead. And the woman who replaced her is never coming back.

Chapter 1

Kelsey POV

The scent of pine and rain always takes me back to the beginning.

I was six years old when I first met Bennett. We were just pups in the Blood Moon Pack, racing across the muddy forest floor, our laughter echoing off the ancient trees. Back then, there were no titles, no hierarchies. Just Kelsey and Bennett.

I remember the day we turned eighteen like it was branded into my retinas. The day of the Recognition.

I had walked into the Pack House, nervous about my first shift. Then, I saw him. He was standing at the top of the stairs, his broad shoulders filling out his black t-shirt.

The moment our eyes locked, the world tilted.

A scent hit me-like the ozone before a thunderstorm mixed with deep, earthy sandalwood. It wasn't just a smell; it was a physical force that slammed into my chest. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic drumbeat that drowned out the chatter of the party.

*Mine!*

My inner wolf, usually a quiet, dormant presence, roared in my mind. She clawed at the surface, desperate to get to him.

Bennett had frozen, his pupils dilating until his eyes were almost entirely black. He descended the stairs, and when his hand brushed my arm, a jolt of electricity-hot and sharp-zipped up my spine. It was the electric touch, the undeniable signature of Fated Mates.

"Kelsey," he had breathed, pulling me into a hug that felt like coming home. "My Luna."

That was five years ago.

Now, I stood in the corner of the ballroom, clutching a glass of sparkling water, watching my mate-my Alpha-laughing with another woman.

I was the Luna of the Blood Moon Pack. I was supposed to be the mother of the pack, the strong female lead beside the Alpha. But I was broken. Or at least, that was the truth Bennett had carved into me.

"Your wolf is too weak, Kelsey," he had said three years ago, his voice dripping with feigned sorrow. "The pack doctor says your White Wolf bloodline is recessive, practically dormant. You... you can't carry an Alpha pup. It would kill you."

I believed him. I trusted him. I suppressed my instincts, my desire for a family, all to be the dutiful, safe Luna he needed. I let him convince me that my barrenness was a mercy, not a curse.

But tonight, the air in the ballroom felt heavy, suffocating.

The Elders had been pressuring Bennett. The pack needed an heir. An Alpha cannot rule forever without a legacy.

"This is Aria Diaz," Bennett had introduced her two weeks ago. "She is... here to help the pack."

Aria was an Omega, small and delicate, with eyes that held a predatory gleam I couldn't quite place. She was brought in as a "Breeder."

The word coated my throat in bile. I had agreed to it. I had agreed because I loved Bennett, and I couldn't give him what he needed.

I took a sip of water, trying to ignore the way Aria placed her hand on Bennett's bicep.

*Bennett?* I reached out through the Mind-Link, the telepathic web that connected all pack members, though ours was supposed to be a private, sacred channel.

Static.

Usually, his voice would be warm in my head. Tonight, there was a wall. He was blocking me.

My stomach twisted. The bond between mates allows us to sense each other's emotions, sometimes even physical sensations. Right now, I felt a buzz of excitement from him. Not the excitement of a leader celebrating a festival.

It was lust. Raw, jagged lust.

I watched as he leaned down to whisper something in Aria's ear. She giggled, throwing her head back.

I couldn't breathe. I moved through the crowd, my wolf pacing anxiously in my mind. *Something is wrong,* she whined.

I sharpened my senses, tuning out the music and the chatter, focusing like a laser on the conversation near the champagne tower. Bennett was standing with Beta Mark.

"She's intoxicating, Mark." Bennett's voice was low, a growl vibrating in his chest. "It's not just duty. I feel... primal around her. It's like a rut I can't control."

My glass slipped from my fingers, shattering on the floor. The sound was swallowed by the music, but I stood frozen.

"What about Kelsey?" Mark asked, sounding uncomfortable.

"Kelsey is... safe," Bennett scoffed. "But Aria? I'm taking her to Italy next week. I'm going to mark her there. Secretly. Once the bond is sealed, the pack will have to accept it for the sake of the heir."

The air left my lungs.

Marking. The ultimate claim. An Alpha biting into the sensitive claiming spot where the neck meets the shoulder. It binds two souls permanently. He promised me he would never mark another, even if we used a surrogate.

He lied.

Just then, a drunk warrior, swaying heavily with a half-empty mug, stumbled into the table holding the massive champagne tower.

"Watch out!" someone screamed.

The tower of glass and liquid swayed and then collapsed.

I was standing right next to it. Aria was a few feet away.

Without a second of hesitation, Bennett moved. He was a blur of speed and power. He launched himself-not at me, his mate-but at Aria.

He tackled her to the ground, shielding her body with his own, curling around her protectively.

"My heir!" he roared.

A cascade of glass rained down on me. Shards sliced into my bare arms and shoulders. Warm blood trickled down my skin, blooming across my white dress in crimson stains.

I stood there, amidst the wreckage, stinging pain covering my body. But it was nothing compared to the sensation of my soul ripping in half.

Bennett stood up, helping Aria to her feet. "Are you hurt? Is the baby safe?" He hadn't even touched her yet, and he was already obsessed with a non-existent child.

He didn't look at me. Not once.

My inner wolf let out a sound I had never heard before-a high-pitched keen of absolute agony. Then, she went silent.

I looked at the blood on my hands. It was my blood. And he didn't care.

I turned around and walked out of the ballroom. Nobody stopped me.

Werewolf

I sat on the edge of the cold hospital bed, clutching a positive pregnancy test. Two pink lines. An Alpha's pup. I thought this miracle would finally save me from my life as an invisible, latent wolf in the Holden Pack. But when I ran to the club to tell Anthony the news, I heard his voice through the door, cold as ice. "I am an Alpha. Do you really think I would touch a cripple like you?" Then, his identical twin brother, Emmanuel, laughed. "I don't know, Ant. She's tight. I've enjoyed warming your bed for you these past six months." My blood ran cold. It was Mating Fraud. The man I loved hadn't touched me once; he had let his brother use me as a proxy. When they caught me listening, they didn't apologize. Anthony used his Alpha Command to force me to my knees, crushing me with his aura. "Get rid of the thing in your belly," he sneered. "Bastards aren't allowed in the Holden Pack." They exiled me to the toxic Mining District so Anthony could marry my high school bully, Bianca. They forced me to jump off a cliff for "training." They watched Bianca poison my soup and saved her instead of me. To save my unborn child from being murdered by its own father, I had to make the heartbreaking choice to terminate the pregnancy myself. They thought I was dead after pushing me into traffic on the morning of their wedding. But I dragged my broken body to a terminal and hacked the church's livestream. As Anthony stood at the altar, the massive screens turned black, and their recorded confession boomed through the speakers. "Game on, Alpha," I whispered, turning my back on the city. I was going to the war-torn Borderlands to die. Instead, I found the one thing they never expected me to become. The White Wolf.

The phone rang, shattering the quiet. It was the police. My parents. Gone. Just like that. My world collapsed, leaving me drowning in debt and sorrow. Then, Ethan Miller, my fiancé, stepped in, a savior from a powerful family. He handled everything, defying his grandfather, who despised me as the "daughter of a bankrupt failure." We married, and for five years, he was the perfect husband, encouraging my dreams of rebuilding. I poured my soul into ninety-nine startups, each failing catastrophically. Investors pulled out, competitors mimicked my ideas, my data leaked. Ethan always picked up the pieces, assuring me, "The tech world is brutal. We'll try again." On the anniversary of our first date, I decided to surprise him at his office with red roses. But the door was ajar, and I heard him talking to his best friend, Chad. "Every one of Olivia's 'failures' has been a building block for Sarah's success," Ethan said, his voice light with amusement. Sarah Chen. His childhood sweetheart. The rising tech star I'd always admired. "So you gave her Olivia's data? Again?" Chad asked. "Of course. Sarah needed it. Olivia is… a great incubator for ideas," Ethan replied. The roses slipped from my hand, scattering on the cold marble floor. My ninety-nine failures weren't bad luck. They were deliberate sabotage, orchestrated by my own husband. He didn't save me; he married me to steal my ideas, my soul, for another woman. The heartbreak was immense, but underneath it, a cold, hard fury stirred. He thought I was weak, a failure he could control. He was wrong. I turned and ran, not from fear, but ignited by a single, burning decision. I was done with this life. I would not just leave. I would burn their world to the ground.

For eighteen years, the Sterling mansion was my world, given to me by Mr. Sterling, who treated me like his own. Olivia, his daughter, was the secret burning at its core-my childhood sweetheart, my hidden passion. On my 21st birthday, she made me believe she felt the same, pulling me into a clandestine affair that consumed me. I craved a real future with her, so I knelt, ring in hand, asking her to be my wife. Her warmth vanished instantly, replaced by a cutting dismissal that shattered my heart and my hopes. "Liam, don't be ridiculous," she sneered, leaving me on the floor. Days later, a horrifying discovery confirmed my worst fears: Olivia wasn't my lover, but a calculated betrayer. She' d been feeding my architectural designs and analyses to Ethan Cole, my rival, to guarantee his win in the Sterling Architectural Grant competition. Her message echoed in my mind, "Liam is talented, but he's naive. This will guarantee your win. He'll never suspect a thing." How could the woman I loved betray me so completely, using my deepest vulnerability against me? Was our intimacy just a performance, every touch a lie designed to exploit my talent? The thought was a poisoned blade twisting in my gut. Consumed by a pain that transcended heartbreak, I made a choice: I would vanish, severing every tie to my past and the Sterling family. But before I could truly escape, Olivia delivered one final, devastating blow, publicly branding me an obsessive stalker. In that moment of utter destruction, a cold resolve settled in: I wouldn't just leave; I would erase myself from their lives and rebuild in a place where I was truly free.

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.

The Mute Heiress's Fake Marriage Pact

The Mute Heiress's Fake Marriage Pact

Alma

I was finally brought back to the billionaire Vance estate after years in the grimy foster system, but the luxury Lincoln felt more like a funeral procession. My biological family didn't welcome me with open arms; they looked at me like a stain on a silk shirt. They thought I was a "defective" mute with cognitive delays, a spare part to be traded away. Within hours of my arrival, my father decided to sell me to Julian Thorne, a bitter, paralyzed heir, just to secure a corporate merger. My sister Tiffany treated me like trash, whispering for me to "go back to the gutter" before pouring red wine over my dress in front of Manhattan's elite. When a drunk cousin tried to lay hands on me at the engagement gala, my grandmother didn't protect me-she raised her silver-topped cane to strike my face for "embarrassing the family." They called me a sacrificial lamb, laughing as they signed the prenuptial agreement that stripped me of my freedom. They had no idea I was E-11, the underground hacker-artist the world was obsessed with, or that I had already breached their private servers. I found the hidden medical records-blood types A, A, and B-a biological impossibility that proved my "parents" were harboring a scandal that could ruin them. Why bring me back just to discard me again? And why was Julian Thorne, the man supposedly bound to a wheelchair, secretly running miles at dawn on his private estate? Standing in the middle of the ballroom, I didn't plead for mercy. I used a text-to-speech app to broadcast a cold, synthetic threat: "I have the records, Richard. Do you want me to explain genetics to the press, or should we leave quietly?" With the "paralyzed" billionaire as my unexpected accomplice, I walked out of the Vance house and into a much more dangerous game.
