My husband, Alpha Damien, believed the Seer's lie that I was barren and a curse to the Blackwood Pack. He spent his nights with his mistress, Victoria, while I sat alone in the cold study, hiding the swell of my belly and the future Alpha growing inside me. The night the Great Hall exploded, the truth could no longer be hidden. I collapsed on the floor, my water breaking, blood pooling beneath me amidst the choking smoke and debris. Damien saw me. He saw the agony in my eyes and the desperate plea on my lips. But when Victoria let out a theatrical scream from across the room, he made his choice. He turned his back on his pregnant mate and sprinted to save his mistress, leaving me to be consumed by the flames. I didn't die in the fire. I dragged myself out into the freezing blizzard, choosing to risk death in the snow rather than stay in a house that wanted me dead. It wasn't until weeks later that Damien tore apart the Seer's tower and found the letter proving Victoria had paid for the fake prophecy. Shattered by the realization that he had abandoned his own son for a lie, he crossed the frozen wasteland to my father's territory, falling to his knees in the mud to beg for my return. But he didn't find the weak, submissive wife he left behind. He found the White Wolf. I looked down at him with cold, dead eyes and whispered, "My child has my blood, and he will never know you."

Chapter 1

Elena POV

The morning light filtered through the heavy velvet curtains of the Luna's study, yet it brought no warmth.

I sat in the high-backed leather chair, my fingers tracing the silver crest on the desk. It was the pack seal. My name, Elena, was etched into the metal, but the silver felt freezing beneath my fingertips.

I lowered my gaze to the curve of my swollen belly. A life. A pup.

My hand rested there, seeking comfort, and I felt the faint flutter of movement.

"You will be strong," I whispered to the silence. "Stronger than your mother."

Outside the window, the pack grounds were alive with noise. I could hear the clang of metal from the training grounds, the laughter of pups chasing each other, and the deep, rhythmic chanting of the warriors. It was the sound of the Blackwood Pack, one of the most powerful in the territory.

But in here, it was just me.

I felt like an island. The Luna of the pack, yet the most isolated wolf in the entire territory.

A soft knock broke my trance. Before I could grant permission, the door creaked open.

Victoria glided in.

She didn't wait for an invitation. She never did.

She moved with a fluid grace that always made me feel clumsy, her golden hair catching the light like a halo she didn't deserve. She held a silver tray with a plate of pastries.

"Morning, Elena," she said, her voice dripping with a sweetness that made my teeth ache.

Immediately, the room changed. The scent of old paper and wood polish was drowned out by her perfume-a heavy, floral synthetic musk. It wasn't the natural, earthy scent of a wolf. It was a mask. It coated the back of my throat, an invasive force staking a claim on my space.

She set the tray down on my desk, deliberately placing it right on top of the pack ledger I had been reviewing.

"I brought you something sweet. You look pale." She sat on the sofa uninvited, crossing her legs.

"Thank you, Victoria," I said, keeping my voice steady despite the irritation spiking in my chest. "But I have work to do."

She laughed, a tinkling sound that didn't reach her eyes. "Oh, Elena. Always so serious. Actually, I came with a message."

My heart skipped a beat. "From Damien?"

"Yes," she sighed, examining her manicured nails as if they were more interesting than my marriage. "The Pack Seer told him that the cosmic alignment is shifting. Damien is under tremendous pressure. He asked me to tell you that he won't make it to dinner tonight. Again."

A sharp cramp seized my abdomen. I flinched, my hand flying to my stomach.

*Not again.* That was the third time this week.

Victoria didn't notice, or she chose not to. She reached out and picked up a resource allocation sheet from my desk. It was a document I had spent three days perfecting. She flipped through it idly, like it was a gossip magazine.

"You know," she said, tossing the paper back down carelessly, "being Luna is such a burden. Especially when the Alpha needs real support. Maybe I should handle these little things? You should rest. For the baby."

Her eyes flashed. It wasn't concern. It was a challenge.

"I am the Luna," I said, though my voice lacked the growl it should have had. "This is my duty."

Victoria smirked. "Duties can be reassigned. Damien trusts the Pack Seer's visions implicitly. And you know what the Seer said? That your child... might complicate the lineage. A threat to the true Alpha bloodline."

The air left my lungs as if I'd been punched.

"What?" I whispered.

"Just rumors, dear," she stood up, smoothing her dress. "But Damien listens to rumors. Especially when they concern the safety of his legacy. He thinks maybe... maybe your child isn't the blessing we thought."

She walked to the door, pausing just before she left. "Rest well, Elena."

The door clicked shut.

I sat there, frozen. The pain in my belly was nothing compared to the ice spreading through my chest.

My mind drifted back to the night I met Damien. The *Recognition*.

It is the law of our kind. When Fated Mates meet, the world stops. I remembered the scent of him-like rain on hot asphalt and pine. I remembered the roar of his Inner Wolf, that primal beast living inside his soul, screaming *Mine!* into my mind. I remembered the electric shock when our skin touched, a current so strong it nearly brought me to my knees.

I thought the Moon Goddess had blessed me.

But now? The bond felt like a shackle.

I opened the bottom drawer of the desk. Hidden beneath a stack of blank parchment was a letter. The paper was yellowed, the ink faded. It was from my father, Alpha Sterling.

*If the day comes when the Moon turns Her back on you, daughter, use this.*

Attached was a sequence of numbers. A frequency for a private, encrypted Mind-Link channel.

Mind-Linking is the telepathic web that connects all wolves. Usually, it is open to the pack, monitored by the Alpha. But this... this was a ghost line.

I touched the paper. My hand trembled, but then, I clenched my fist.

"I thought love was enough," I thought, the realization settling over me like a heavy cloak. "But my dignity, and my child's life... that is the line I will not cross."

I looked out the window one last time. The pack was still loud, still alive. But I was already gone.

My wife, Sarah, and I defined DINK: Dual Income, No Kids. It was her dream, and I made it mine, even getting a vasectomy to seal our child-free future. Then, ten years into our perfect marriage, I found the birth certificates in her safe: twins, Luke and Ben O'Connell. Ten years old. When confronted, Sarah admitted they were "Liam's boys," her old college friend. She justified it as "filial piety" for Liam's "dying mother," a duty. What about her duty to me? My blood ran cold when her mother called, casually revealing the whole family knew. They expected me to "adjust," to love the boys. Suddenly, I was faced with a choice: "It's me, or it's them. You cut them out of your life, completely, or we are done." She didn't hesitate. "I can't do that to them, Ethan. They're my children." My heart shattered. I took off my wedding ring and laid it on the birth certificates. The marriage was over. I was a fool, a twenty-year joke, the loyal husband sacrificing for a woman building another family behind my back. The clinic visit replayed in my mind: Sarah holding my hand, her "concern" for me, comforting me years later with a fake infertility diagnosis. All lies. I discovered the truth through a monthly payment to a property management company, leading to photos of Sarah, Liam, and the twins living a perfect family life-a life I was unknowingly funding. At her father's 70th birthday party, Sarah introduced me to the boys. "Mommy says you couldn't give her babies, so she had to get them from our daddy," one smirked, loud enough for everyone to hear. Later, she publicly transferred fifty-one percent of my company's shares to Liam, for "the boys." I wasn't just replaced; I was erased. The next day, she brought them to our house, my house. The boy broke his own phone, then shrieked, "He pushed me!" Liam, the picture of feigned sorrow, scolded me. Then, Sarah, with a rage I'd never seen, slapped me hard across the face. "How dare you touch my son?" In that moment, I realized I was just an obstacle. I didn't say a word. I just packed a bag, signed the divorce papers, and left. On my way out, I made sure the hidden security camera had captured everything, the proof I needed to ensure she could never deny what she had done.

I was Mark Thompson' s secret, his adoptive niece, and his hidden lover for three years. He took me in when I had nowhere else to go, becoming my protector and hero. Then, two pink lines on a pregnancy test changed everything. I went to tell him, hoping this baby would make our relationship real, only to overhear him on the phone, laughing. "A baby? With her? Are you crazy? I can't have some unwanted mutt ruining my life." My blood ran cold as I heard him, the man I loved, dismiss our unborn child as an "unwanted mutt," and me as "just a kid," "a fling." My phone shattered on the floor, mirroring my heart. Later, his ex, Sarah Jenkins-the "white whale" he never got over-buzzed his phone. I heard her laughter in the background as he canceled our dinner for her. The dream turned into a nightmare. Days later, Mark took Sarah' s side after she maliciously posted private photos of me online and then lied, claiming I was crazy. He didn't ask for my side of the story. He just saw her tears and shattered phone and immediately took her side. "You have caused nothing but trouble since she came back," he snarled, and then the man who promised to protect me slapped me. I fell, clutching my stomach, screaming his name as I saw the blood. But a cold, unfeeling Mark just looked at me. "Stop it, Olivia," he said, his voice laced with disgust. "The drama is over. I'm not falling for it." Then, he left me bleeding on the floor, driving off with Sarah as I lost our baby. How could he? How could the man who raised me, the man I loved, turn into a monster who chose his ex-girlfriend's lies over my suffering? How could he dismiss me, hit me, and abandon me when I was losing our child? What kind of love was this? What was wrong with me for believing in him? I would not let him soothe me this time. There would be no more tears, no more begging. I would take my shattered pieces, walk away, and build a life where I was finally free.

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money.

Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

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.

For seventeen years, I was the crown jewel of the Kensington empire, the perfect daughter groomed for a royal future. Then, a cream-colored envelope landed in my lap, bearing a gold crest and a truth that turned my world into ice. The DNA test result was a cold, hard zero percent-I wasn't a Kensington. Before the ink could even dry, my parents invited my replacement, a girl named Alleen, into the drawing room and treated me like a trespasser in my own home. My mother, who once hosted galas in my honor, wouldn't even look me in the eye as she stroked Alleen's arm, whispering that she was finally "safe." My father handed me a one-million-dollar check-a mere tip for a billionaire-and told me to leave immediately to avoid tanking the company's stock price. "You're a thief! You lived my life, you spent my money, and you don't get to keep the loot!" Alleen shrieked, trying to claw the designer jacket off my shoulders while my "parents" watched with clinical detachment. I was dumped on a gritty sidewalk in Queens with nothing but three trunks and the address of a struggling laborer I was now supposed to call "Dad." I traded a marble mansion for a crumbling walk-up where the air smelled of exhaust and my new bedroom was a literal storage closet. My biological family thought I was a broken princess, and the Kensingtons thought they had successfully erased me with a payoff and a non-disclosure agreement. They had no idea that while I was hauling trunks up four flights of stairs, my secret media empire was already preparing to move against them. As I sat on a thin mattress in the dark, I opened my encrypted laptop and sent a single command that would cost my former father ten million dollars by breakfast. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves, but they forgot one thing: I'm the one who leads the pack.
