Aanya, a wildlife enthusiast, enrolls in the residential college near the forest to pursue her studies in wildlife conservation. Little does she know that Rajveer, a fierce werewolf, considers the forest his home and is deeply protective of it. Their initial encounters are marked by tension and hostility.

Chapter 1 Unveiling Secrets

Aanya's heart raced with excitement as she stood in front of the dormitory building, surrounded by fellow students bustling with the same eagerness. The residence hall was nestled on the edge of a dense forest, its towering trees casting long shadows in the early morning sun. Aanya had always felt a strong connection to nature, and this place seemed like the perfect setting for her studies.

She had never heard of the tales that whispered through the college corridors, stories of a creature that roamed the forest after dark. Legends of a protector, or perhaps, a fearsome guardian of the woods. Aanya was oblivious to the enigma that lay hidden beneath the moonlit shadows.

As Aanya entered her dorm room, her eyes widened with curiosity. She was met by the sight of her new roommate, Priya, who was busy unpacking her belongings. Aanya couldn't help but smile, realizing that this was the beginning of a new friendship.

"Hey, I'm Aanya," she greeted Priya.

Priya turned with a warm smile. "I'm Priya. Nice to meet you, Aanya. Exciting first day, isn't it?"

Aanya nodded and began to unpack her own things, "Absolutely! The forest outside looks amazing ,have you been here before?"

Priya chuckled. "No, this is my first time too. But I've heard some interesting stories about the forest. They say it comes alive at night, like something out of a fairy tale."

Aanya was intrigued. "Fairy tale? What do you mean?"

Priya leaned in closer, her voice lowering as if she was about to reveal a great secret. "They say there's a protector of the forest, a guardian who's neither human nor animal. A mythical creature that roams the woods under the moon's silver glow."

Aanya couldn't help but laugh. "That sounds like something out of a bedtime story."

But in that moment, her laughter was cut short by a distant, eerie howl. The sound sent shivers down her spine, and she couldn't help but glance out the window, where the forest loomed in the background.

Priya noticed her reaction. "Did you hear that?"

Aanya nodded, her excitement now mixed with an odd sense of apprehension. "What was that?"

Before Priya could respond, there was another howl, closer this time, and accompanied by a strange rustling in the woods. Aanya felt an inexplicable urge to investigate, as if the forest was calling to her.

Determined to satisfy her curiosity, she excused herself and hurried outside. Aanya followed the eerie sounds, walking deeper into the forest's edge. The air grew cooler, and the forest became darker as she ventured further, her steps rustling the fallen leaves beneath her sneakers.

She paused, her heart pounding in her chest, as she heard the howls once again. They were not like any animal sounds she had ever heard. They were mournful, almost haunting, and they seemed to be drawing her closer to their source.

As Aanya moved deeper into the forest, she spotted a faint glimmer through the trees. It was the pale light of the moon, casting a silvery sheen over a clearing. Aanya cautiously approached and gasped at what she saw.

In the moonlight, a pair of intense, amber eyes met hers, followed by the silhouette of a massive, dark figure. Aanya's breath caught in her throat as she realized she was not alone in the forest. Before her stood a creature that defied all logic-an imposing, wolf-like being with shaggy fur and a presence that was both powerful and eerie.

The creature did not growl or lunge at her. Instead, it regarded her with a mixture of curiosity and caution. It was as if it, too, was surprised by her presence.

Aanya whispered, "What are you?"

The creature didn't answer, but its gaze never left her. Aanya took a cautious step closer, her fear momentarily overridden by her unquenchable curiosity. This was something beyond any wildlife she had ever studied or heard about.

Before she could take another step, the creature suddenly turned and vanished into the depths of the forest. Aanya was left standing alone, her heart still racing. The encounter had left her with questions than answers.

And so, Aanya's adventure had taken a mysterious turn, as she had her first glimpse of the enigmatic guardian of the forest. Little did she know that her life and the destiny of the forest were about to become deeply entwined in ways she could never have imagined.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

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.

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.

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?
