For five years, I tolerated my husband Franklyn' s cheating. My only condition was simple: keep it out of my sight. Then his college crush, Heaven, came back. He didn't just parade her around-he stole the community center I designed in memory of our late son and gave it to her as a gift. When photos of their affair were leaked at her launch event, he shielded her from the cameras and pointed the finger at me. He told the world I was an unstable, grieving wife who was having an affair. He forced me to publicly confess, shattering my reputation. Then he came home and told me Heaven was pregnant and that I needed to move out of our penthouse to give her a "calm environment." "You know how much you care for children, Clara," he said, using my deepest pain against me. That night, I signed the divorce papers. At the airport, as he screamed my name from behind the security gate, I calmly pulled the SIM card from my phone, dropped it in the trash, and boarded the plane.

For five years, I tolerated my husband Franklyn' s cheating. My only condition was simple: keep it out of my sight.

Then his college crush, Heaven, came back. He didn't just parade her around-he stole the community center I designed in memory of our late son and gave it to her as a gift.

When photos of their affair were leaked at her launch event, he shielded her from the cameras and pointed the finger at me. He told the world I was an unstable, grieving wife who was having an affair.

He forced me to publicly confess, shattering my reputation. Then he came home and told me Heaven was pregnant and that I needed to move out of our penthouse to give her a "calm environment."

"You know how much you care for children, Clara," he said, using my deepest pain against me.

That night, I signed the divorce papers. At the airport, as he screamed my name from behind the security gate, I calmly pulled the SIM card from my phone, dropped it in the trash, and boarded the plane.

Chapter 1

I had tolerated his infidelities for five years. Five years of quiet acceptance, of pretending the whispers didn't exist.

My single condition was simple: keep it out of my life. Out of my sight. That was the fragile boundary our marriage stood on.

Then Heaven Russell walked back into our world. A name I' d only ever heard whispered, a ghost from Franklyn' s past.

She was his college crush, the one he never got over. The one every man secretly wishes he'd had.

She moved with an arrogant grace, her self-made tech empire adding a sharp edge to her beauty. She didn't just enter a room; she owned it.

Franklyn changed around her. The cold, calculating Wall Street tycoon melted into a boy who still yearned. It was sickening to watch.

Tonight, at the high-profile charity gala, he didn't even try to hide it. He paraded her, a trophy wife in all but name, on his arm.

My spine remained perfectly straight, my smile politely fixed. My composure was a shield, protecting the crumbling pieces inside.

But something had shifted. A quiet resolve had solidified within me, a secret plan already taking root.

Heaven made her grand entrance late, as expected. The air crackled with anticipation the moment she appeared.

She wore a dress that defied convention, a stark contrast to the glittering gowns, almost a subtle rebellion.

Franklyn had sent her a diamond necklace. She openly refused it, placing it back on a silver tray held by a startled waiter. "Not my style," she purred, loud enough for us to hear.

"I'm here for the cause, not for trinkets," she added, her eyes sweeping over the crowd, landing briefly on me. A challenge.

The ballroom fell silent, a collective gasp swallowed by the velvet drapes.

I watched Franklyn, a knot forming in my stomach. What would he do? How would he defend me, his actual wife?

He just smiled, a soft, indulgent look. "She's always been fiercely independent," he announced, as if explaining a charming quirk.

He then took her hand, pulling her deeper into the room, abandoning the necklace where it lay.

Her eyes, over his shoulder, met mine. A flicker of triumph. "You really think you can keep him?" she seemed to ask.

She pulled her hand free, a practiced move, and walked towards the quieter corner of the room, leaving Franklyn momentarily stranded.

Without a second glance at me, he followed her, his face a mask of concern.

I stood there, amidst the glittering crowd, suddenly alone in a very public way.

A waiter offered champagne. I took two glasses, draining one almost immediately. The bubbles did little to numb the sting.

I excused myself from the table, a polite lie about finding the ladies' room. But I wasn't looking for a restroom. I was looking for them.

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 was the Pack’s shame, a twenty-year-old "Runt" who had never shifted. Yet, I clung to the desperate hope that Alpha Marcus, the man I had loved my entire life, would finally claim me at the Full Moon Gala. Instead, he stood before the entire Pack with Izzy, a woman who looked at him with hunger rather than love. With eyes as cold as stone, he didn't just ignore me; he destroyed me. "I, Marcus Thorne, reject you, Olivia Hayes." The rejection snapped our bond, but the nightmare was just beginning. When Izzy framed me for poisoning her, Marcus didn't hesitate. He chained me in the dungeon and wielded the silver whip himself. Each lash burned like liquid fire, tearing through my skin as he demanded a confession I couldn't give. I woke up in a pool of my own blood, only to hear the nurse whisper the truth I was never meant to know. The silver toxicity hadn't just broken my body; it had killed the unborn pup I didn't even know I was carrying. Marcus had whipped the mother of his own child to protect a liar. He had killed his heir for a woman who was faking her own pregnancy. That night, as I crawled through the mud to escape, the weak Runt died. In the freezing waters of the river, my bones snapped and reshaped. I didn't just shift; I became the legendary White Wolf. And when Marcus finally realized the truth and came begging on his knees, I looked at him with my new, violet eyes and prepared to give him the rejection he deserved.
