The sound of his pen scratching against the paper was louder than the thunder outside. Beside me, Dante, the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, reeked of a sickly, synthetic sweetness-a witch's hex perfume that clouded his mind and made him obsessed with another woman. He tossed a folder onto my lap without even looking at me. "File this with the Council tomorrow," he ordered, his eyes glazed over as he texted his mistress, Sofia. "It's just the logistics report." He didn't know he had just signed our divorce papers. Suddenly, he slammed on the brakes in the middle of a dark highway. "Get out," he snarled, his eyes glowing a feral yellow. "Sofia is being attacked. I need the car. You're slowing me down." I froze. "Dante, this is Rogue territory." "Survive," he scoffed. He forced me out of the safety of the SUV and sped away, leaving his Fated Mate standing in the freezing rain to save a mistress who was lying on a yacht. My wolf didn't weep this time. She growled. I looked at the signed document in my hand. He thought he was stripping my access to the treasury, but he had just legally set me free. I didn't wait for him to return. I took the papers, withdrew fifty million dollars from his account, and vanished to the West Coast. When he finally clears the witch's fog from his mind and comes looking for his submissive wife, he won't find Elena the doormat. He will face the White Wolf.

Chapter 1

Elena POV:

The sound of the Montblanc pen scratching against the paper was louder than the thunder rolling outside.

Rain lashed against the bulletproof windows of the black SUV, blurring the neon lights of the city into streaks of bloody red and bruised purple. I sat perfectly still, my hands folded in my lap, trying to make myself as small as possible.

Beside me, Dante Moretti, the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, didn't even look at me. His attention was split between the stack of documents on the leather armrest and the glowing screen of his phone.

Ding.

A message from Sofia. I knew it was her. His heartbeat, usually a steady, terrifying drum, skipped a beat. The air in the car grew heavy, not just with his scent, but with something else-a cloying, synthetic sweetness radiating from his coat. It was a witch's hex-perfume, subtle enough to bypass a Wolf's nose but strong enough to cloud an Alpha's judgment. I'd smelled it on him for months, a fog that made him pliable to her whims.

He signed the final page with a flourish.

"Done," he said, his voice deep and rough, like gravel grinding together. His eyes were slightly glazed, the gold in his irises dull.

He tossed the folder onto my lap. It hit my thighs with a dull thud.

"File this with the Council tomorrow," he ordered, his eyes never leaving his phone as he typed a reply. "It strips your administrative access to the treasury. We need those funds for the border expansion."

He hadn't read it. I saw the title page-'Pack Bond Dissolution & Asset Liquidation'-buried beneath a generic 'Logistics Report' cover sheet. Sofia had prepped this stack. She knew he wouldn't check. She knew the hex made him trust her blindly.

"Yes, Alpha," I whispered.

The car stopped at the curb. Not at the Pack House, but at a street corner downtown.

"Get out. I'll collect you in two hours for the Elder's banquet," he said.

I opened the door and stepped into the downpour.

Forty minutes later, I sat in the corner of a small, dim coffee shop. My best friend, Mia, stared at the folder on the table, her knuckles white.

"He's a blind idiot," Mia hissed. "A wolf with no nose. How can he not smell the rot on that woman?"

I stirred my tea. "He's not just blind, Mia. He's drugged. That scent she wears... it suppresses his instincts. He thinks he's making choices, but he's sleepwalking."

"You are his Fated Mate, Elena!" Mia slammed her hand on the table. "The Moon Goddess paired you. The bond is sacred."

"The bond is a chain," I corrected her softly. "And he has been rusting it for three years."

I looked out the window. My reflection was pale, but for a second, my eyes flashed a strange, iridescent silver instead of their usual brown. It was happening more often lately-a surge of dormant power I couldn't explain.

"I'm going to do it," I said. "I'm going to the West Coast. To the Silver Creek Pack."

Mia's eyes widened. "Isabella's territory? That's neutral ground. Technology, no old laws. But Dante will hunt you."

"He won't notice I'm gone until he needs a shirt ironed or a wound stitched," I said bitterly.

Suddenly, the air in the coffee shop grew heavy. The chatter died down. It was the pressure of an Alpha's aura.

The door burst open.

Dante stood there, six foot four of pure aggression. His eyes scanned the room and locked onto me.

"Elena," he growled.

Every instinct screamed Run, but I felt a strange resistance in my chest. The Alpha Command hit me, but instead of crushing me instantly, it felt like it hit a glass wall before shattering through. I stood up, my legs shaking only slightly.

"We are late," he said, striding over. He grabbed my wrist.

"Dante, you're hurting her," Mia protested.

Dante released a low growl that forced Mia back into her seat. He dragged me out and shoved me into the back of the SUV.

The interior smelled different now. The hex-perfume was stronger, masking the fresh pine scent of his wolf.

"Did you file the papers?" he asked.

"I... I sent them," I lied. The folder was still in my bag.

He nodded, satisfied. Then, his face went rigid. His eyes glazed over as he entered a Mind-Link conversation.

Suddenly, he roared. "Stop the car!"

The driver slammed on the brakes. We were on the highway, flanked by dark woods.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Sofia," he snarled. "She's being attacked. Rogues. Just north of here."

He opened the door.

"Dante, you can't go alone," I started to say.

He turned to me, his eyes glowing a feral yellow. "Get out."

I froze. "What?"

"I need the car to transport her when I find her. She's injured. You're slowing me down. Get out, Elena. Now!"

Alpha's Command.

Again, that strange delay. My body wanted to rebel, my inner wolf snarling back with a voice that sounded ancient and cold. But the habit of submission was too strong. I stepped out into the freezing rain.

"Dante," I gasped. "This is Rogue territory."

"You're a Luna," he scoffed. "Survive."

The SUV peeled away. I stood alone in the dark. My wolf didn't weep this time. She let out a sound that was less of a whimper and more of a warning growl.

He left us, she said. For the last time.

I looked down at my hand. The rain washed over my wedding ring.

"You signed the papers, Dante," I whispered. "You really did."

I closed my eyes and visualized a wall of white marble slamming down, severing the bond. It wasn't just a mental exercise; I felt a physical snap in my chest, like a tether breaking.

"Olivia, we need to break up." I said the words quietly. We were sitting on the couch we' d picked out together two years ago. Instead of concern, she laughed, thinking it was a joke because she forgot almond milk. Then her phone buzzed. It was Liam. Again. "Can we not do this right now? It's Liam. He needs me." It was always Liam. On our anniversary, the night my grandmother died. He always had a crisis only Olivia could solve. He arrived less than twenty minutes later, looking pale and distressed. He saw me, and his voice, laced with fake vulnerability, faltered. "Olivia said you guys were having a talk. I can go if this is a bad time. I just… I had another panic attack." He looked at Olivia, playing the victim, making me the bad guy. I' d seen this a hundred times: the late-night calls, the fabricated emergencies. I felt a snap inside me. "You' re always having a panic attack, Liam," I blurted. "You strategically dismantle. You make sure you are always the priority." Liam recoiled, his face crumbling. Olivia' s face hardened, disappointment aimed squarely at me. "Noah, stop it. You know he struggles. How can you be so cruel?" She moved to Liam' s side, placing a protective arm around him. She was comforting him. From me. My heart dissolved. I was the outsider. "I' m tired of coming in second place to him. I' m tired of being the bad guy for wanting a partner, not a part-time caregiver for your friend." I grabbed my bag. As I walked out, Olivia' s voice, thick with disbelief, followed me. "You' re really leaving? Over this? You' re just going to throw everything away because you' re jealous?" I stopped but didn' t turn. "It was already thrown away, Liv. I' m just the one finally picking up the trash." I closed the door.

The faint line on the pregnancy test glowed, a stark white against the cold marble. My hand trembled, not with joy, but with the icy grip of a memory that chilled me to the bone. This was the day, the exact day it all began to unravel in my first life. Ethan, my charming, ambitious husband, a rising Harrison political star. And Seraphina, my beautiful, "golden child" stepsister, who always got what she wanted. I remembered their smiles, their whispers, and how they destroyed me. The searing pain of the car veering off the road, the blinding headlights, Sera' s triumphant sneer in the shadows just before the end. They wanted my inheritance, my position, and my very existence gone. My baby, this tiny, unformed life inside me now, had died with me then. Their betrayal was complete, my fate sealed. How could they have been so cruel, so calculating, to orchestrate such a gruesome end for a naive wife and her unborn child? The bitter injustice had consumed me, haunting my final moments. Yet, here I was. Reborn. I was actually back, precisely on the day of my first demise. The universe, it seemed, had a twisted sense of humor, or perhaps, a penchant for second acts. But this time, I wouldn' t be the unaware victim. Ava Harrison would no longer be a naive fool, easily dazzled and discarded. This time, Ava Harrison would be the one pulling the strings. My objective was clear, etched in the remembered pain: secure my child' s future, and make them all pay. Every single one of them. My revenge finally begins tonight.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

I stood at the edge of the freezing pond on the Boone estate, my body trembling with a fear that rattled my bones. Across from me, Amanda Olsen looked immaculate in her cashmere coat, a sharp contrast to the jagged reality I was trying to hold together. "Why?" I whispered. Amanda just smiled, admitting she killed Grandpa Boone because he actually liked me. She pulled out a thick envelope-divorce papers Cordero had signed that morning. She told me he called me a parasite and was celebrating with her the night I suffered a miscarriage. Before I could even scream, Amanda lunged and shoved me into the icy water. My heavy wool coat acted like a sponge, dragging me into the artificial abyss. I thrashed and gasped for air, but Amanda just stood on the bank, watching me drown with her hands tucked casually in her pockets. As my lungs burned and the darkness closed in, I realized I had spent my entire marriage taking their abuse. I was the "foster trash" and the "gold digger" who let them win every single time. I was dying alone, hated by the husband I had tried so hard to love, while my murderer stood victorious on the shore. I never fought back. I just let them destroy me. Then, a violent spasm tore through my body. I sat up gasping, sucking in dry, air-conditioned oxygen instead of murky pond water. I wasn't dead. I was back in the opulent master suite, surrounded by red rose petals and wedding decorations. The digital clock glowed: October 14, 2019. I had gone back five years to the very night my nightmare began. The bathroom door clicked open, and Cordero stepped out, looking at me with the same cold disgust I remembered. But as I gripped the silk sheets, a new resolve hardened in my chest. This time, I wasn't going to be the victim. This time, the Boone family was going to find out exactly what happens when you push someone too far.
