For nine hundred and eighty-six nights, I was exiled to the guest room while my husband, Alpha Corbett, let his dead wife's sister sleep in our master suite. He claimed Ivana needed his pheromones to sleep. I was just the glorified janitor in my own pack. But the breaking point wasn't the neglect. It was the macaron. "Eat it," Corbett ordered, holding out the green cookie. "Show me you accept my apology." "I'm allergic to pistachios," I whispered. "I'll die." He didn't listen. His eyes flashed red. "Eat it." The Alpha Command seized my motor functions. My hand moved against my will, shoving the poison into my mouth. As my throat instantly swelled, I tasted the metallic tang of Wolfsbane. Ivana hadn't just ignored my allergy; she had laced it. I collapsed on the kitchen tiles, clawing at my windpipe, turning purple. From the living room, Ivana let out a fake, high-pitched shriek. "Corbett! My anxiety! It's coming back!" Corbett looked down at me, convulsing and suffocating on the floor. Then he looked toward the living room. The choice took him less than a second. He physically stepped over my dying body. "Hold on, Ivana! I'm coming!" he cooed, leaving me to die alone on the cold grout. I managed to jam an EpiPen into my thigh, gasping as air forced its way back into my lungs. As I lay there shivering, I didn't feel sadness. I felt clarity. I dragged myself to my studio, packed my research, and sent a single email. To: The Royal Lycan King. Subject: I accept. By the time Corbett realized Ivana was a fraud pregnant with another man's child, I was already gone. And when he finally came begging on his knees, he found me in the arms of a King who would burn the world before he let me bow.

Chapter 1

Jenna POV:

Nine hundred and eighty-six nights.

That was how long I'd been exiled to the guest room while my husband, Alpha Corbett, let another woman play house in our master suite.

I stood by the door, hand hovering over the cold brass. Even through the thick oak, the smell hit me-cloying and stale, like dried lavender soaked in formaldehyde. It smelled like a funeral parlor.

It was the scent of Elenor, his late wife.

But Elenor had been in the ground for five years. The person wearing her unwashed robes was Ivana, her younger sister. A Beta female with no scent of her own, stealing the olfactory ghost of the dead to keep my mate on a leash.

"It helps her anxiety, Jen," Corbett had said, his voice rough with that perpetual, misguided guilt. "Her wolf is traumatized. She needs the Alpha's pheromones to sleep. It is my duty."

Duty. The brick wall he built between us.

I turned away, fighting the urge to retch. My inner wolf, usually a source of comfort, was curled into a tight ball in the back of my mind, starving and silent.

I retreated to the bathroom-the only lock he respected-and pulled out my phone. A secure email notification blinked.

From: Royal Lycan Pack, France.

Dear Ms. Jarvis,

Your paper on 'Olfactory Manipulation in Feral Shifters' was a revelation. We formally invite you to Grasse to interview for the position of Lead Scent Alchemist. His Majesty, King Kain, has taken a personal interest in your work.

My heart hammered against my ribs. Scent Alchemists were revered. Here, in the Silver Moon Pack, I was just the glorified janitor masking the smell of wet dog in the locker rooms.

I was about to reply when a high-pitched scream shattered the silence.

I dropped the phone and ran.

I burst into the master bedroom. Ivana was rolling on the floor, clutching her throat, face red, eyes bulging. She was wearing Elenor's silk robe with the embroidered lilies.

"Ivana!" I knelt, reaching for a pulse.

The door slammed open behind me. A wave of heavy, suffocating pressure hit me-the physical weight of an Alpha's rage.

"Get away from her!" Corbett roared.

Ivana threw herself backward, scrambling away like I was holding a knife. "Corbett!" she wheezed. "She... she tried to use the suppression collar on me! She tried to choke me!"

I froze. "What? No, I just walked in-"

Corbett didn't look at me. He looked at Ivana, huddled in his dead wife's clothes. His eyes flashed a dangerous, glowing red.

"I said, get away," he growled.

I stood up, hands raised. "Corbett, use your nose. Smell the air. There's no adrenaline spike from me until you walked in. She's lying."

"She is a Beta, Jenna! She is defenseless!"

"I am an Omega in your house! I have no authority!" I shouted, my voice cracking.

He stepped forward, looming over me. The air left the room.

"Kneel."

It wasn't a request. It was a sledgehammer to my nervous system. My knees hit the hardwood with a sickening crack before my brain could process the order. Pain shot up my shins, but my muscles locked in rigid obedience.

"Corbett, please," I whispered, humiliation stinging my eyes.

He walked past me, gathering Ivana into his arms. She buried her face in his chest, smirking at me over his shoulder.

"You have grown cruel, Jenna," Corbett said coldly. "Jealousy does not become a Luna."

"I am not jealous of a ghost mimic," I gritted out, fighting the Command.

"Apologize," he ordered. "Bare your neck to her."

My blood ran cold. Baring the neck was the ultimate submission. He was asking his mate to submit to a lying Beta.

"No," I choked out.

"Do it."

My body betrayed me. My head wrenched to the side, exposing my jugular. I trembled, fighting it, but the Alpha's power was absolute.

Ivana looked at my exposed neck. She didn't look scared. She looked triumphant.

She hates you, Corbett's voice echoed in the Mind-Link, dripping with disgust. How could the Moon Goddess pair me with someone so petty?

Something inside me snapped. Not a bone, but the thin thread of hope I'd held for three years.

"You're right," I said, voice hollow. The Command faded as he focused on Ivana. I slumped forward, gasping.

"Go to your room," he dismissed me. "I will deal with your punishment later."

I stood on shaky legs. I went to the bathroom, picked up my phone, and opened the draft.

I accept, I typed.

Send.

The Price of Betrayal: A Husband's Revenge

My life, once a meticulously designed blueprint, began its demolition on the eve of my wedding. I was Ethan Miller, an architect on the verge of having it all, returning home to celebrate with my fiancée. Instead, I found her in our bedroom with my best man, a scene that shattered everything. Fleeing into the night, a car blared, then metal met bone, and blinding pain consumed my right arm. I woke in a hospital, my dominant hand irreparably damaged, my career as an architect declared over. The world celebrated my tragedy; my fiancée and best man married in my place, turning my life into a public spectacle of pity and gossip. The pain in my chest eclipsed the physical agony as my identity crumbled, rendering me a broken man, a backdrop for my betrayer' s rising star. I spiraled, questioning the point of it all, refusing to eat, to heal, to exist. My professional talent, the very core of my being, had become a burden, a target for those who sought to elevate themselves on my ruins. Then, in my deepest despair, Olivia Chen, my betrayer's best friend, appeared as my savior. She became my devoted wife, meticulously managing my recovery, holding me through frustrated tears, and becoming the anchor in my new, quiet life. Until a Tuesday. When I returned home early, the words from the sun-room sliced through the quiet, words spoken by Olivia and my physical therapist. "You arranged for him to be hit by a car for Mark Davis." "Yes." My world collapsed again. The woman who saved me, who spoke words of love, was my captor. She had orchestrated my accident, meticulously sabotaged my recovery, all to ensure Mark Davis's success. It wasn't love; it was a cage, a beautifully crafted prison designed to keep me broken, a pawn in their twisted game fueled by her obsessed ambition for Mark. Every tender touch, every encouraging word, a calculated lie. My love, her most effective weapon. How could I have been so blind? How could the woman I trusted with my broken heart be the architect of my ruin? Was there any truth to anything she ever said? This betrayal, so absolute, left me hollow, yet a cold clarity began to form. I was done being a victim.

The Fiance's Betrayal: A Sister's Fury

After years hidden away, recovering from the fire that stole my old life, my meticulously crafted new identity as Ethan White was finally ready for a fresh start in Chicago, a surprise apartment from my sister, Sophia, waiting. But the key had barely turned in the lock when men burst in, led by Sophia’s fiancé, Rick Harrington, who saw not a brother returning home, but a stranger to be eliminated. Fists flew, bones crunched, and the man who was supposed to be my future brother-in-law sneered about Sophia’s "pet project," convinced I was just some con artist. Every desperate plea for my sister to recognize me, every mention of my true name, Evan, was met with another blow, another sneer, my new face cementing their conviction that I was an imposter. Even Mac, Sophia's head of security who’d known me since I was a kid, only saw a trespasser, his eyes blank with no recognition despite my desperate cries. As darkness swallowed me, battered and unrecognizable, the cruel irony was a bitter taste: the new identity Sophia had painstakingly crafted to keep me safe was now the very thing sealing my doom at the hands of her own fiancé. How could the security measures meant to shield me become the weapon used against me by the one person I was supposed to trust, the one who was about to marry my sister? Little did Rick know, a shattered phone with a single photo and a mother's heirloom would soon unravel his web of lies, bringing Sophia face-to-face with the brother she thought was safe, and unleashing her terrifying fury for justice.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.

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.
