I was the brilliant mind behind the Thorne Pack's defenses, yet as an Omega, I was treated worse than a servant. My "Chosen Mate," Alpha Marcus, used my blueprints to build his reputation while I scrubbed his floors. Everything changed the day the elevator cable snapped. It wasn't an accident; it was a silver-coated trap set by Isabelle, the woman Marcus was parading around as his new favorite. As I lay in the hospital, silver poison scorching my veins, the doctor begged Marcus for the antidote authorization. Without it, my wolf would die. But Marcus didn't even look up from his phone. "Not now," he dismissed, stroking Isabelle's hand. "Isabelle scraped her knee when the building shook. She's terrified. Eleanor is tough; she'll survive." He walked away, leaving me to endure surgery without anesthesia. I screamed until my throat bled, feeling every cut, every stitch. In that agony, the foolish girl who loved him finally died. When he returned days later, expecting me to beg for his attention, I didn't bow. I stood up, my eyes glowing with a power he had never seen. "I, Eleanor Vance, reject you." The bond snapped with a thunderous crack. As Marcus fell to his knees in shock, the door opened. Julian Croft, the Alpha King, stepped in. He looked past my ex-mate writhing on the floor, locked his golden eyes on mine, and smiled. "I believe," he rumbled, "the lady is finished with you."

I was the brilliant mind behind the Thorne Pack's defenses, yet as an Omega, I was treated worse than a servant.

My "Chosen Mate," Alpha Marcus, used my blueprints to build his reputation while I scrubbed his floors.

Everything changed the day the elevator cable snapped.

It wasn't an accident; it was a silver-coated trap set by Isabelle, the woman Marcus was parading around as his new favorite.

As I lay in the hospital, silver poison scorching my veins, the doctor begged Marcus for the antidote authorization.

Without it, my wolf would die.

But Marcus didn't even look up from his phone.

"Not now," he dismissed, stroking Isabelle's hand. "Isabelle scraped her knee when the building shook. She's terrified. Eleanor is tough; she'll survive."

He walked away, leaving me to endure surgery without anesthesia.

I screamed until my throat bled, feeling every cut, every stitch.

In that agony, the foolish girl who loved him finally died.

When he returned days later, expecting me to beg for his attention, I didn't bow.

I stood up, my eyes glowing with a power he had never seen.

"I, Eleanor Vance, reject you."

The bond snapped with a thunderous crack.

As Marcus fell to his knees in shock, the door opened.

Julian Croft, the Alpha King, stepped in.

He looked past my ex-mate writhing on the floor, locked his golden eyes on mine, and smiled.

"I believe," he rumbled, "the lady is finished with you."

Chapter 1

Eleanor POV

Morning light filtered through the high, arched windows of the Thorne Pack house, illuminating the dust motes suspended in the stale air.

Charcoal stained my fingertips, my hand cramping from hours of gripping the pencil, but I didn't care. The blueprints before me were perfect. It was a design for a new community center-a sanctuary to keep the pups safe and warm during the brutal winters.

I was an Omega. In the hierarchy of the pack, that meant I was the last to eat and the first to bleed.

But my mind-my architectural designs-was the one thing the pack actually used. It was my only currency in a world that priced me at zero.

The heavy oak doors swung open.

A gust of wind carrying the scent of pine and rain-*his* scent-swept into the room.

Marcus.

My heart gave that traitorous, pathetic flutter it always did.

He was the Alpha. He was power personified, with shoulders broad enough to carry the weight of the world, and eyes like storm clouds.

"Marcus," I breathed, rolling up the parchment. I hurried over to him, the bone-deep fatigue in my limbs forgotten. "You're back early from patrol. Look, I finished the designs for the nursery expansion."

He didn't stop walking. He barely glanced at me, shrugging off his muddy cloak and tossing it onto a nearby velvet armchair-furniture I would inevitably have to scrub later.

"Not now, Ellie," he muttered, running a hand through his dark, wind-swept hair. "We have guests arriving. Important ones. Don't clutter the table with your drawings."

My smile faltered. "But... you said if I finished this by today, we could-"

"I said not now."

His voice dropped an octave. It wasn't quite an Alpha Command, but the sheer weight of his authority pressed against my sternum, making it difficult to inhale.

I stepped back, clutching the blueprints against my chest like a shield. "Yes, Alpha."

We were "Chosen Mates."

It wasn't the lightning-strike, soul-binding connection of Fated Mates determined by the Moon Goddess. We had chosen each other years ago. Or rather, I had worshipped him, and he had found me convenient.

There was no Marking on my neck. Just a promise. A promise that felt thinner than the paper in my hands.

Then, the doors opened again.

"Oh, Marcus, this place is positively rustic!"

The voice was like spun sugar-sweet, airy, and completely artificial.

A woman stepped in. She was petite, with cascading blonde hair and clothes that cost more than my entire existence.

Isabelle Hayes. The daughter of a neighboring Alpha.

Marcus turned to her, and the transformation was instant. The scowl vanished. His eyes softened. He looked at her the way a starving man looks at a feast.

"Isabelle," he said, his voice dripping with a warmth I hadn't heard in years. "Welcome to Thorne Pack."

He offered her his arm. She took it, her ice-blue eyes flickering over me with a mixture of pity and mild disgust.

"Is this the help?" she asked, gesturing vaguely in my direction.

Marcus didn't even look at me. "She's just an Omega. She handles the... housekeeping."

*Housekeeping.*

I was the lead architect of his territory's defenses. I was the woman who warmed his bed when he deigned to visit.

I watched them walk away, Isabelle giggling at something he whispered. I felt a hairline fracture form in the center of my chest.

The days that followed were a blur of humiliation. Marcus paraded Isabelle around as if she were already his Luna. He called it "diplomacy." He called it "strengthening alliances."

I called it what it was: erasure.

Then came the full moon.

The Heat hit me like a physical blow. It wasn't just a fever; it was a biological imperative, a fire igniting in my marrow that demanded to be quenched by my mate.

My skin felt too tight for my body. My inner wolf whined, scratching at the back of my mind, desperate for comfort.

I curled up on the cold stone floor of my small room, sweat drenching my shirt. The pain was blinding, a cramping agony that twisted my insides.

*Marcus,* I reached out through the Mind-Link. *Please. It's the Heat. It hurts. I need you.*

The link was silent for a long moment. Usually, an Alpha can sense the distress of his pack members, especially his mate.

*Marcus?* I pleaded again.

Finally, his voice echoed in my head, cold and distant. *Not tonight, Eleanor. Isabelle is having a panic attack. The adjustment to the new environment is hard on her.*

I gasped, clutching my stomach. *A panic attack? Marcus, I'm in Heat. My body is burning. You are my Chosen Mate.*

*You're an Omega,* he snapped. *You're used to pain. Deal with it. Don't contact me again tonight.*

The connection snapped shut. It was like a steel door slamming in my face.

I lay there, shivering violently despite the heat consuming me. The rejection wasn't just emotional; it was physical. My wolf howled in agony, a sound of pure, unadulterated heartbreak.

He chose to hold her hand while I writhed in agony on the floor.

Hours later, the fever broke, leaving me hollowed out.

I dragged myself up. My legs were shaking. I walked to the small fireplace in the corner of my room. On the mantelpiece sat a small box containing a silver wolf-tooth necklace-the first gift he ever gave me.

He had told me it symbolized eternity.

I took it out. The metal was cold against my feverish skin.

The door opened. Marcus stood there. He looked disheveled, tired, but there was a satisfied smirk playing on his lips that he quickly tried to suppress.

"You survived," he said, indifferent. "I told you it wasn't a big deal."

He didn't ask how I was. He didn't smell the distress pheromones that must have been choking the room.

"Yes," I whispered. "I survived."

I looked at him-really looked at him. I didn't see my Alpha anymore. I saw a stranger wearing his face.

I turned back to the fire.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

I didn't answer. I dropped the necklace into the flames.

"Ellie!" he barked.

I watched the metal darken, the chain twisting as if in pain.

"It's Eleanor," I said, my voice devoid of emotion. "And I'm just cleaning up the clutter."

I turned my back on him.

The roots that had held me here for so long hadn't just been pulled up; they had been torn apart.

Our engagement party was everything I had dreamed of, bathed in the warm glow of chandeliers, my heart full as I squeezed Ethan' s hand. Five years, finally official. We were the perfect couple. But then, a piercing wail shattered the perfect facade. Ethan' s ten-year-old niece, Lily, pointed a trembling finger at me, accusing me of "indecent" behavior-a simple kiss. His sister-in-law, Chloe, twisted the narrative, claiming Lily was traumatized, and shockingly, Ethan walked right past me to comfort her, leaving me humiliated and frozen. The man I was about to marry, the man who was supposed to be my partner, was prioritizing a carefully staged tantrum over my feelings, over us. When the sacred symbol of our commitment, my engagement ring, was purposely dislodged and he allowed Lily to "retrieve" it as a family ritual, I began to see the cold, hard truth: I was an outsider in his life, and he was choosing them. Then, walking into the suite that was supposed to be ours, I found it filled with Chloe and Lily' s belongings, our master bedroom claimed, and a lacy nightgown that wasn't mine. The realization hit me: this wasn't just about weakness or family loyalty; it was a deliberate, intimate invasion, a calculated act of displacement before our life even began. My entire world began to crumble as I was accused of embezzlement, my career ripped away, and Ethan called, asking me to confess to a crime I didn' t commit "for the family." Why was I the target? Why was he so willing to sacrifice me? How could the man I loved be orchestrating my downfall? The pieces clicked into place with a screenshot: Ethan had set up the shell corporation. My betrayal was a meticulously planned conspiracy to steal my inheritance. I held my head high as the police arrived to arrest me, knowing I had a fight on my hands, but I was ready.

The flickering cursor on my screen was the only constant; my life, a developer' s dream turned broke reality, spiraled with every line of code that built debt instead of worlds. My wife, Chloe, a sharp, cold woman, shared my last name but not my life, her presence in our sterile home a constant reminder of everything we' d lost. Then, a black box popped up on my monitor, a simple command prompt with a blinking green line: "Cosmic Stream Initialized. Observing Universe C-782." It showed a live feed, grainy and unstable, of a college dorm room, and in it was Chloe, ten years younger, radiating an idealism I hadn' t seen since our own college days. My fingers trembled. Was this a hack? A cruel prank? I typed a desperate message, witnessing her jump, then her young voice calling out from my speakers, "Who's there? Is this a prank?" Overwhelmed, I learned I could see and talk to her, across a decade of time. I couldn' t tell her who I was: her future husband, about to be ground to dust. No, I had to be something she could trust. "I am a System," I typed, the words feeling foreign and powerful, "A guidance protocol designed to help you achieve your optimal future." She challenged me, "Prove it." I dredged up a memory, a story about her childhood dog, Rusty, about her hidden copy of "The Last Unicorn." Her face paled, then tears welled. She believed me. This young, trusting Chloe, the one the world hadn' t broken yet, believed in me. A terrifying, exhilarating sense of power washed over me. I had a chance, a chance to undo everything. I had to start with the man who would poison her soul and my life. My first directive to Past Chloe: "A man named Mark will approach you within the week... Do not, under any circumstances, trust him."

The dust and the agony were my first sensations-my right leg a grinding hell, Lily clutched tight against my chest as growls surrounded us. Then, the thumping. A helicopter, David' s face. He knelt, his suit dirty, grief etched on his face as he saw our daughter, limp in my arms. I woke to the sterile hospital, a dull throb where my leg had been. And then, I heard voices from the hall-David and his mother. "The leg is gone," David said, his voice cold, stripped of sorrow. "It' s cleaner this way. She' ll live." "It solves the problem," his mother, Eleanor, agreed, devoid of sorrow. "The inheritance is secure." My blood ran cold as I heard David whisper the chilling truth: "I needed a legitimate reason to get rid of Sarah. Her injury allows me to bring Monica into the picture, making everything look legitimate." Monica, his new assistant? His fiancée? "And the girl?" Eleanor' s voice was even colder. "Lily was just collateral damage. Honestly, it' s for the best. Now, it' s just Monica' s child to think about." My heart monitor screamed. The man who had sobbed over our daughter, who had held my hand, had orchestrated this. He had fed us to those dogs. Lily was my world, sacrificed for money. The love, the trust, the family-all shattered. He hadn' t rescued me; he had inspected his work. The matriarch confirmed it: "No one will question it." This was their plan. My daughter' s death, a business solution. I was utterly alone, surrounded by monsters. Eleanor brought Monica, who beamed with practiced pity. Then David announced the final blow: "She' s pregnant." An heir. My Lily, extinguished to make way for this celebration. A raw sound tore from my throat. David rushed to me, feigning concern, reaching out. I flinched from his fire-like touch. "I want to see her," I rasped, my voice a dry whisper. "Lily," I choked out. "I want to see my baby." He hesitated, then gave in, still playing the doting husband. My agreement wasn' t a victory; it was another move in his sick game. But I needed to see my girl. The next morning, he brought a small wooden box. "This is her," he said. I clutched it, raw sobs tearing through me. He feigned sorrow, but I knew. Eleanor had chosen the park, a remote spot. A trap. I remembered the glint of binoculars on the ridge-He had watched. He hadn' t been in a board meeting. He was my enemy. And I had to survive him. Monica returned, carrying soup, her voice dripping with false care. She watched David fuss over her, then poured the soup down the sink. "You don' t really think he wants you to recover, do you?" she purred, stripping away her mask. "Your little 'injury' ... he made sure saving it wasn' t a priority." "What are you talking about?" I whispered. She ripped back the blanket. Where my leg should have been, there was only empty space, bandaged tightly. He hadn' t just let me get injured; he' d had it removed. He had dismembered me. "It' s just some dog' s ashes," Monica scoffed, gesturing to the box. "There is no body. The dogs he trained… they were very hungry." My Lily, torn apart. Buddy, our loving dog, used as live bait. My body trembled with pure, white-hot hatred. David walked in. Monica cried, "She tried to attack me!" "Why didn' t you just die in that park?" he snarled. "It would have made everything so much easier." The truth. No pretense. No grief. Just his selfish wish for my death. Eleanor entered, fussing over Monica, ignoring me. "You could have harmed my grandchild." I was surrounded: the perpetrator, the accomplice, the mastermind. All judging me. The last flicker of the woman I was died. "She won' t bother you again," David growled, leading Monica away. "The whole attack was to clear the way for you. For us. It' s tragic, it' s romantic. It' s perfect." He laid out the conspiracy like a corporate takeover. Lily' s death, a necessary plot point. My dismemberment, a convenient excuse. We were liquidated assets. A strange calm washed over me. The love was gone. The hurt transformed into something hard and sharp. He was my enemy. And I had to survive him. Monica, radiant in a new dress, taunted me. "A simple girl like me could give him the one thing you never could." I stared, my resolve firm. At Lily' s memorial, I sat numb in a wheelchair, a prop in David' s performance. In the town car home, the plan was in motion. The park ranger, already suspicious of David, had given me a burner phone. The car swerved, plunged into the ravine. Blackness. "Missing?" David roared at the scene, refusing to believe my body was gone. Days he searched, his voice raw. "She' s gone," Monica snapped, "We need to move on." "Get away from me!" he spat. Her cold cruelty finally disgusted him. The first crack. His paranoia spread. Monica, impatient, had bribed a guard to orchestrate the crash and invent an affair. "It was Monica!" the guard finally confessed. "The pregnancy… it' s fake!" David stood frozen. He had murdered his family for a lie. Eleanor slapped Monica. "You made us kill my granddaughter for nothing!" David, emotionless, ordered them taken to the hunting cabin. A death sentence. "Sarah knew!" Monica shrieked, dragged away. "She heard everything! She played you!" His show of grief, a mockery. The shame, a poison. He fell to his knees, utterly broken. He offered millions, haunted. "Please, just one more day," he' d beg, clutching Lily' s photo. But I was alive. Pulled from the wreck by a kind RV couple, three years passed in quiet peace, my past a blank. They called me Jane. Then, in Arizona, he walked in. Three years had ravaged him. Our eyes met. A lightning strike. The dogs, Lily' s face, the ashes, Monica' s taunts-all flooded back. I nearly collapsed. "Sarah?" he breathed, disbelief, hope, horror on his face. "You' re alive." I recoiled. "Don' t you touch me." "I' m so sorry," he stammered, tears in his eyes. "I was a monster." "You murdered our daughter," I said, cold. "You had my leg cut off. You are just evil." Jack, my new father, stepped in. "You need to leave." David fell to his knees. "Please, forgive me!" He held a letter opener to his leg. "A leg for a leg!" "You want to make it up to me? You can' t," I said. "Your punishment, David, is to live, every single day, with the knowledge of what you did. You will never be forgiven." I turned, walked away with Jack, and never saw him again. Months later, David Miller, disgraced CEO, drove off the same ravine. No escape. His company collapsed. Karma. I continued my life on the road. Sometimes, in the desert sunset, I feel Lily' s warm presence. She' s free. And so am I. The world is vast, and I am ready.

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.
