For three years, I swallowed bitter suppressant pills every morning. I dimmed my light and hid my identity as the Alpha King's daughter, all to be the perfect, submissive Luna for Santino. I thought love was enough. I was wrong. Santino brought a pregnant Rogue woman into our Pack House, claiming she carried his late Beta's child. But the way he touched her, the way he let her wear his shirt and sit at the head of my table, screamed the truth. When I demanded respect, he didn't apologize. He slapped me. The strike echoed through the room, shattering the last of my restraint. He looked down at me with disdain, mocking me as a weak female with no family and no power. He even gave my dead mother's heirloom necklace to his mistress, watching as she broke it. "You are nothing without my protection," he spat. He truly believed I was a helpless Omega. He had no idea he was standing on land bought with my dowry, protected by Wards tied to my blood. I wiped the blood from my lip. My eyes shifted from soft brown to a terrifying, glowing silver. I reached out through the ancient mind-link he didn't know I possessed. "Damien," I commanded the Royal Guard waiting in the shadows. "Destroy it all." Santino wanted a war? I would give him an apocalypse.

Chapter 1

For three years, I swallowed bitter suppressant pills every morning. I dimmed my light and hid my identity as the Alpha King's daughter, all to be the perfect, submissive Luna for Santino.

I thought love was enough. I was wrong.

Santino brought a pregnant Rogue woman into our Pack House, claiming she carried his late Beta's child. But the way he touched her, the way he let her wear his shirt and sit at the head of my table, screamed the truth.

When I demanded respect, he didn't apologize.

He slapped me.

The strike echoed through the room, shattering the last of my restraint. He looked down at me with disdain, mocking me as a weak female with no family and no power. He even gave my dead mother's heirloom necklace to his mistress, watching as she broke it.

"You are nothing without my protection," he spat.

He truly believed I was a helpless Omega. He had no idea he was standing on land bought with my dowry, protected by Wards tied to my blood.

I wiped the blood from my lip. My eyes shifted from soft brown to a terrifying, glowing silver.

I reached out through the ancient mind-link he didn't know I possessed.

"Damien," I commanded the Royal Guard waiting in the shadows. "Destroy it all."

Santino wanted a war? I would give him an apocalypse.

Chapter 1

Alessia POV:

I stared at the small, white pill in the palm of my hand. It looked innocent enough, but it was the only thing keeping my world from burning down.

A suppressant.

Three years ago, I made a pact with my father. To prove I could lead with heart, not just heritage. To find a mate who loved Alessia, not the Princess. I had failed. For three years, I had swallowed this bitterness every morning. I did it to be the perfect, submissive Luna for the Silver Creek Pack. I did it to hide who-and what-I really was.

I swallowed it dry. The chalky taste lingered as I walked down the grand staircase of the Pack House.

The Pack House is the heart of any werewolf community. It is where the Alpha rules, where the high-ranking members live, and where the pack's business is conducted. It is supposed to be a sanctuary.

Today, it smelled like rot.

"She has nowhere else to go, Alessia. Have a heart."

I stopped at the bottom of the stairs. Santino, my husband and the Alpha of this pack, stood in the foyer. Beside him stood a woman I had never met, but my wolf bristled instantly.

She was petite, with teary eyes and trembling hands. But beneath the cheap perfume, I could smell it. The distinct, musky odor of a Rogue-a wolf without a pack, an outcast who had forsaken the laws of our kind.

"A Rogue, Santino?" I asked, my voice calm despite the turmoil in my gut. "You are bringing a Rogue into the Pack House? This violates the safety protocols."

Santino's jaw tightened. He was a handsome man, with the broad shoulders of an Alpha, but his eyes always held a glint of arrogance that I had foolishly mistaken for confidence years ago.

"She is not just a Rogue," Santino snapped. "This is Valentina. She was the mate of my late Beta, Marco. She is carrying his pup."

Valentina clutched her stomach, looking at me with wide, fearful eyes.

"Please, Luna," she whispered. "I just want my baby to be born in safety. Marco spoke so highly of you."

My inner wolf, usually sedated by the pills, stirred. She let out a low, warning growl in the back of my mind. Liar, she hissed.

In our culture, when a lower-ranking wolf meets an Alpha or a Luna, they bare their neck. It is a sign of submission, an instinctive acknowledgement of hierarchy. Valentina did not bare her neck. Instead, she looked at me, and for a split second, I saw a smirk curl the corner of her lips.

"If she carries a pack member's child, she can stay in the Omega quarters," I said, trying to maintain the order of the house. "We have guest rooms there."

"No," Santino interrupted, his voice booming. "She stays here. On the second floor. Beside our suite."

"That floor is for high-ranking officials only," I argued.

"I am the Alpha!" Santino stepped forward, his aura flaring. It was a pressure in the air, a wave of dominance meant to force submission. "And I say she stays where I can protect Marco's legacy. Do not challenge me, Alessia. You know you are too weak to withstand my command."

I lowered my eyes, not out of fear, but out of habit. The pills made me physically weaker than a normal Alpha female, and he used that against me.

"As you wish, Alpha," I murmured.

That night, the air in the house changed. Usually, the Pack House smells of pine and earth, the scent of our territory. But by dinner, Valentina's scent was everywhere. It was cloying, like over-ripe peaches rotting in the sun.

I tried to ignore it. I sat in the living room, reading a book, trying to be the dutiful wife.

"My ankle hurts so much," Valentina's voice drifted from the kitchen.

"Let me see," Santino's deep voice replied.

I stood up and walked silently to the kitchen doorway.

Santino was kneeling on the floor. Valentina was sitting on a chair, her leg extended. His large hands were rubbing her ankle, his thumbs digging into the muscle.

I froze.

To humans, this might look like first aid. But to wolves, scent is everything. Touch is everything. By rubbing her skin, he was mixing his scent with hers. This was grooming. It was an intimate act usually reserved for mates or parents and their pups.

He was marking her with his smell.

My fingernails dug into the wooden doorframe until the wood splintered.

Santino, I called out to him through the Mind-link.

The Mind-link is a telepathic channel that connects all members of a pack. It allows for instant communication, but between mates, it is supposed to be a private, sacred line.

What? His voice in my head was annoyed. He didn't even look up from her leg.

You are grooming her. Stop it.

I am helping a widow in pain, Alessia. Stop being so jealous and insecure. It is unbecoming of a Luna.

He didn't stop. His hand moved higher up her calf. Valentina threw her head back slightly, letting out a soft sigh that made my stomach turn.

I felt a crack in my chest. It wasn't a physical break, but something deeper. The bond, the respect I held for him, fractured.

I slammed the mental door shut. I blocked him from my mind.

He didn't even notice.

I went upstairs to our bedroom, but the bed felt cold. I didn't sleep. I listened to the sounds of the house. I heard his footsteps come up the stairs hours later. He didn't come to our room. He went to the guest room next door.

"She is scared of the thunder," he had told me once when I asked why he spent time with a female subordinate. There was no thunder tonight.

The next morning, I went down to breakfast early. The suppression pill sat on my nightstand, untouched. For the first time in three years, I left it there.

I walked into the dining room. Valentina was already there, sitting at the head of the table-my seat.

She was eating bacon, looking relaxed. But it wasn't her location that made my blood run cold.

It was what she was wearing.

She was wearing a white dress shirt. It was too big for her. The sleeves were rolled up.

It was Santino's shirt.

And it was soaked in his Alpha pheromones.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

My husband, Andrew, a promising politician, asked me for a divorce for the eighth time. It was always the same drill: his 'childhood best friend,' Gabby, would throw a tantrum, threaten his mayoral campaign, and he' d oblige, promising to "fix it later." This time, the exhaustion was bone-deep, but when we sat in our lawyer' s office, something felt different. Chloe, the paralegal, grimly asked if she should schedule the reconciliation filing for next month, as usual. "There won't be a next time," I heard myself say, shocking even myself. But Andrew, ever the politician, just gave a weak, placating excuse about calming Gabby, just like always. Later, I walked into our brownstone to find Gabby and Andrew in the kitchen, laughing amidst a flour-dusted mess. My obsessively neat husband, covered in flour, asked if I could whip up Gabby's favorite coq au vin. "No," I said, a word that felt foreign on my tongue. Andrew' s face flushed; he shoved me, then dragged me by the arm and locked me in the dusty pantry, telling me I' d stay there until I learned to be "a supportive wife." Hours later, Gabby opened the door, sneered, and drenched me with a bucket of ice water. Something inside me, long dormant, snapped. I lunged, swung the empty bucket, and caught her head with a dull thud. Andrew rushed in, saw Gabby crying, grabbed a handful of my wet hair, and roared, "You crazy bitch! Apologize to her, or get the hell out of my house right now!" "Okay," I said, pulling out my phone. He looked confused. "Okay, what?" "Okay, I'll get out." I finally dialed Wesley, my old architecture mentor, the man Andrew had demanded I cut out of my life years ago. "Wesley?" I whispered, tears pricking my eyes. "Can you... can you come get me?" He didn' t ask why. "Send me the address. I'm on my way." This time, there was no turning back.

The $50 Amazon Empire

I developed the AI that powered Innovatech's meteoric rise, securing $50 million in Series B funding. My wife, Bella, our CEO, promised me significant public recognition and a hefty bonus for my pivotal role. But after calling me on stage, she handed me a flimsy envelope containing a $50 Amazon gift card. Hours later, I scrolled through her latest social media posts: Julian Vance, our new 'Chief Branding Officer' of two months, grinning beside a new Tesla Model S Plaid, sporting a limited-edition Audemars Piguet watch, all company-expensed, with Bella's caption praising his "contributions to our Series B success." The humiliation deepened when I discovered my generous bonus was withheld. Worse, my entire engineering team' s monthly performance bonuses were zeroed out, with a sub-note about "inefficient resource utilization"-a transparent excuse to cover Julian's exorbitant spending. To add insult to injury, Bella then brazenly demanded my late grandmother's cherished sapphire locket for Julian, promising to reinstate my team's stolen bonuses in return. The audacity was breathtaking. How could the woman I built this empire with, my partner, my wife, so completely devalue my work and our shared legacy for a charlatan who barely understood our product? The betrayal wasn't just personal; it was a professional insult, a systematic dismantling of integrity and respect. "I want a divorce," I told her, the words flat and final. This wasn't merely about meager compensation; it was about reclaiming my worth and liberating my brilliant team from a company spiraling into delusion. I would ensure Bella paid the ultimate price for choosing a fraud over the very foundation of her empire.
