On our one-year anniversary, I waited in red silk, praying my Alpha, Alex, would finally mark me as his Luna. Instead, a notification popped up on his tablet: "The Omega Prank." I tapped it and watched a livestream of him draping the Moonstone Necklace around another woman's neck, laughing that I smelled like desperation. It turned out the last year of my life was just a bet. A game to entertain the bored elites. But the humiliation didn't stop at the truth. Alex forced me to wear a diamond collar at the Charity Gala, parading me as "The Alpha's Pet" while the pack laughed. When his grandmother ordered me beaten with a cane for a painting his mistress ruined, Alex didn't stop them. He just poured a drink and looked away while the wood cracked against my spine. I didn't scream. I just watched him check his phone, indifferent to my blood. He thought he could exile me to a winter cabin to keep his "embarrassment" hidden. He didn't know I had already initiated the Ghost Protocol. I staged a bloody scene at the cliff's edge, making it look like a rogue attack. Standing over the freezing black water, I looked back one last time and severed the bond. "I reject you, Alex Bradley." Then I jumped, leaving him with nothing but a fake suicide scene and a regret that would come too late.

On our one-year anniversary, I waited in red silk, praying my Alpha, Alex, would finally mark me as his Luna.

Instead, a notification popped up on his tablet: "The Omega Prank."

I tapped it and watched a livestream of him draping the Moonstone Necklace around another woman's neck, laughing that I smelled like desperation.

It turned out the last year of my life was just a bet. A game to entertain the bored elites.

But the humiliation didn't stop at the truth.

Alex forced me to wear a diamond collar at the Charity Gala, parading me as "The Alpha's Pet" while the pack laughed.

When his grandmother ordered me beaten with a cane for a painting his mistress ruined, Alex didn't stop them.

He just poured a drink and looked away while the wood cracked against my spine.

I didn't scream. I just watched him check his phone, indifferent to my blood.

He thought he could exile me to a winter cabin to keep his "embarrassment" hidden.

He didn't know I had already initiated the Ghost Protocol.

I staged a bloody scene at the cliff's edge, making it look like a rogue attack.

Standing over the freezing black water, I looked back one last time and severed the bond.

"I reject you, Alex Bradley."

Then I jumped, leaving him with nothing but a fake suicide scene and a regret that would come too late.

Chapter 1

Jillian POV:

The penthouse smelled like rosemary, seared steak, and my own desperation. Tonight was our one-year anniversary. One year since Alex Bradley, Alpha of the Obsidian Pack, took me-a wolf-less orphan from Silver Lake-into his bed.

I smoothed the red silk over my hips. His favorite color. I'd spent all day prepping, praying that tonight he'd finally announce me as his Luna. The Moon Goddess doesn't make mistakes. I felt the pull the second we met-that magnetic tether in my chest.

But Alex was late. Again.

I walked to the sofa to move his tablet to the study. The screen lit up. A notification from a group chat: "The Omega Prank."

My stomach dropped. I tapped the icon.

Charlotte (Beta): Still playing house with the stray? It's been a year, Alex. You won the bet. Pay up.

Warrior Mark: Come on, Alpha. You proved the trash thinks she's royalty. End it.

Alex (Alpha): Patience. I'm picking up the necklace for Charlotte now. The little Omega actually thinks I'm going to Mark her tonight. It's pathetic.

I read the words until they blurred. A bet. Just a game to entertain the bored elites. All the gentle touches, the whispers-lies.

A video file popped up. A livestream.

On screen, Alex stood in the pack vault, looking devastating in a black suit. Beside him was Charlotte Burgess, a high-ranking Beta, blonde and gloating.

"Look at this," Charlotte giggled, holding up the Moonstone Necklace-the artifact meant for the Alpha's true mate. "Does it smell like wet dog? I bet Jillian's scent is all over you."

Alex laughed. It wasn't a cruel laugh, just dismissive. Like he was talking about an annoying pet. "She smells like desperation, Charlotte. But don't worry. After tonight, I'm done with the charity case."

He draped the necklace around Charlotte's neck and inhaled the scent of her illegal masking agent.

I dropped the tablet.

My inner wolf let out a high-pitched whine. For a year, I'd taken the sneers, the 'bed-warmer' comments, because I believed in the bond. But to him, I was just a punchline.

The elevator chimed.

I wiped my face instantly. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction.

I pulled my phone and opened the encrypted Delphi Network app-an underground railroad for abused Omegas.

Initiate Ghost Protocol. Target date: The Blood Moon.

Three months. I needed time to move my grandmother's assets.

The door opened. Alex walked in with a massive bouquet of red roses. They reeked of Charlotte's cloying perfume.

"Jillian," he said, flashing that smile that used to melt me. "Happy anniversary."

He held out the flowers.

I looked at the man who had just mocked my existence. I summoned every ounce of Omega submission training to keep my face blank.

"Thank you, Alex," I said, taking the tainted flowers.

He reached out to stroke my cheek. Usually, sparks would fly. Tonight, my skin crawled. He was blocking the bond, refusing to acknowledge what was right in front of him.

He glanced at the calendar where I'd circled the Blood Moon.

"What's that?" he asked, a smirk playing on his lips. "Planning a vacation? Or expecting a ring?"

"It's a surprise," I lied. "For you."

"I love surprises."

He had no idea. On that date, the Omega he toyed with would vanish. I looked into his eyes and mentally severed the hope connecting us.

I was already gone.

My life with Ethan was a fairytale. Diamonds cut like stars, a library wing, a best-selling book titled "100 Reasons Mia Hayes is the Center of My World"-he built a universe around me, declaring me his guide. I was his everything, or so I believed. Then, I found it. A hidden folder on his home office computer. Images of Ethan and a young woman, Skyler Reed, sickeningly intimate and explicit. My carefully constructed world shattered, a thousand glittering pieces falling around me. The betrayal was a physical blow, colder than any frost. Every grand gesture, every loving declaration, now felt like a cruel joke, a meticulously crafted lie designed to blind me. I remembered my one rule for us, whispered years ago: "If you ever truly lie to me, if you break that trust, I will walk away. And you will never find me again." He had laughed then, promising I was his universe. Now, his universe was a lie. A cold dread seeped into my bones. The fear, long buried, clawed its way up my throat. How could I have been so blind? So utterly naive? Was everything just a performance for his audience, for my adoration? The profound humiliation burned hotter than anger. But amidst the wreckage, a chilling clarity emerged. My world was destroyed, yes, but I was not. The decision was instant. Cold. Clear. I picked up the burner phone I'd bought months ago, a nagging unease I'd dismissed as paranoia. "It's Amelia Hayes," I said, my voice devoid of emotion. "I need to activate the Disappearance Protocol. Immediately."

Her Scars, His Final Stand

The rain hammered against my windowpane, a relentless drumbeat mirroring the dull throb in my abdomen-a constant reminder of the child I' d lost. My husband, Captain David Miller, was a celebrated hero on TV, his charismatic smile a stark contrast to the corroding rust of our marriage. Right there, beside him, was Chloe, my best friend, looking at him with adoration, her hand tucked in his arm. They didn' t know the real David, not like I did. The betrayal had been a slow, agonizing descent, a series of small, sharp cuts. Late nights, calls taken in hushed tones, excuses woven around Chloe' s supposed fragility. "She' s fragile, Scar," he' d say, "You' re strong. You understand." I tried to, but then he missed our anniversary for her panic attack, my doctor' s appointment for her broken-down car. Each time, a piece of my trust chipped away. The final, unforgivable act came when I lay bleeding on the floor, calling him in a choked whisper. "David, please. Something' s wrong. I' m… I' m bleeding." I heard Chloe' s tearful voice in the background, "David, don' t go. I need you." He hesitated. That cold, sharp hesitation twisted in my gut. He never came. I lost our baby alone in a sterile hospital room while he comforted her. He truly cared more about her feelings than our child. Months later, with my mother' s funeral underway, Chloe approached me again. "It' s like she had to go so my son could live," she whispered, claiming my dying mother was a necessary sacrifice for her child. My suppressed rage ignited. This woman, who had manipulated my husband, stolen my locket, and had a piece of my body donated to her, was now mocking my grief. "I want a divorce, David," I declared, the words cutting through the chaos. He tried to deny it, to plead, to promise. But his love was poison, and I was done. I walked away from the graveside, leaving behind the man who had destroyed everything. With the help of my father' s old friend, an opportunity for a new life, a new name, appeared. I didn' t look back as I dropped my wedding ring into a trash can at the airport. It made a small, tinny sound, the final note on a life I was leaving behind. As the city lights faded below, I felt a flicker of peace. My past was over. My future was waiting.

The Mute Heiress's Fake Marriage Pact

The Mute Heiress's Fake Marriage Pact

Alma
5.0

I was finally brought back to the billionaire Vance estate after years in the grimy foster system, but the luxury Lincoln felt more like a funeral procession. My biological family didn't welcome me with open arms; they looked at me like a stain on a silk shirt. They thought I was a "defective" mute with cognitive delays, a spare part to be traded away. Within hours of my arrival, my father decided to sell me to Julian Thorne, a bitter, paralyzed heir, just to secure a corporate merger. My sister Tiffany treated me like trash, whispering for me to "go back to the gutter" before pouring red wine over my dress in front of Manhattan's elite. When a drunk cousin tried to lay hands on me at the engagement gala, my grandmother didn't protect me-she raised her silver-topped cane to strike my face for "embarrassing the family." They called me a sacrificial lamb, laughing as they signed the prenuptial agreement that stripped me of my freedom. They had no idea I was E-11, the underground hacker-artist the world was obsessed with, or that I had already breached their private servers. I found the hidden medical records-blood types A, A, and B-a biological impossibility that proved my "parents" were harboring a scandal that could ruin them. Why bring me back just to discard me again? And why was Julian Thorne, the man supposedly bound to a wheelchair, secretly running miles at dawn on his private estate? Standing in the middle of the ballroom, I didn't plead for mercy. I used a text-to-speech app to broadcast a cold, synthetic threat: "I have the records, Richard. Do you want me to explain genetics to the press, or should we leave quietly?" With the "paralyzed" billionaire as my unexpected accomplice, I walked out of the Vance house and into a much more dangerous game.

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.
