Lyla Lansky is not happy at all. She's about to turn eighteen, and with that comes all the formality of the annual ball where her wolf will either be received or not. But Lyla received her wolf some time ago, and that's uncommon in her pack-something that usually only happens with royalty. Lyla fears being an outcast in her pack. She knows all too well the fate of outcasts, which is why she's been hiding her wolf from everyone. But that's not her only worry. Lyla doesn't like being the center of attention, wearing ball gowns, and knowing that on that night, she might also meet her fated mate, which terrifies her. Lyla is scared of who her mate might be and afraid of being rejected. Her mother, Lily Lansky, is the Omega of the Luna of the SilverPack, to which Lyla also belongs. What she hid, though, was that despite her awkwardness, she received a beautiful and strong wolf, and she could never have imagined that her fated mate would be none other than an Alpha-the very one all the others desire!

Chapter 1 Prologue

**The Pack Ball - Where It All Begins**

Dissatisfied, skeptical, and dazed-that's how I felt. I knew everyone could see the shock written on my face. I tried to hide it the best I could, but I knew that was the worst smile I had ever shown. Ridiculous, I know, but I couldn't let him get the better of me. On the other hand, my nails dug into Tyler Blackwood's arm-my best and only friend. He knew how I would feel seeing Nick Marshall again.

When I looked up at his towering 6'2" frame, which literally made me have to look up as if he were a streetlight planted in the ground, I caught a glimpse of anger and confusion flashing across his face for a few seconds before he managed to return to what I would call his usual calm expression-or, really, that stone-cold look that showed no respect or empathy for anyone.

Nick Marshall was simply the Alpha of the SilverPack, the biggest and strongest of all the packs, and every woman at the Ball wanted to be his mate. But Nick never wanted any of them to be his. He was never seen with anyone. And me? Well, I was just another one who admired him silently with a racing heart, totally annoyed by all the gazes turned toward him like that, knowing full well that his eyes would never truly land on me.

What few knew was that, at midnight, I would turn 18. Unlike everyone else, I had already received my wolf, but the others hadn't. I know that usually mates can smell each other, but I can't smell mine, I don't feel his presence. I confess that I'm desperate at the thought that my mate might simply not exist, or worse, that he could just be some random jerk. Truthfully, I know there's a way to mask my wolf's scent, and I've been doing that ever since I received Any. But they say it's impossible to hide from your mate.**

I had never felt so relieved and pleased to be wearing the dress Becks made me buy.

The dress was red and made of silk. It had extremely thin straps, and the cutout neckline revealed more of my chest than I would normally want or feel comfortable with. The dress hugged my breasts and waist perfectly, falling down to my ankles with a slit that reached up to my thigh. I wore golden heels with straps around my ankles and jewelry with gold details.

My brown hair was down, styled in waves, with one side pinned up. Becks had done my makeup with a smoky eye that made my violet eyes pop and stand out. She convinced me to wear a bold red lipstick, and I felt absolutely beautiful, even though I was completely out of my comfort zone. But when I looked in the mirror, I felt stunning. Honestly, I could handle anything in this dress. Well, maybe not anything.

I clearly remember Tyler's expression of total surprise when he saw me. His mouth formed a huge "O," and the words came out slyly, "You look stunning." Becks kept insisting that I would find my mate tonight and that I had to be the most beautiful one at the Ball for that to happen. I knew they were both in full flattery mode, so no compliment from Tyler or Becks would truly comfort me. Despite what I saw in the mirror and what they were saying, none of this really felt like me.

The Ball followed tradition. It was the night many awaited each year, the night when most received their wolves and found their destined mates. Even though some rejected their mates, most were satisfied with what fate had given them-or simply accepted it.

When the moon reached its peak and the clock struck midnight, howls could be heard from outside the ballroom. That was part of the ritual, something many were familiar with, yet it still made me uncomfortable. I felt my eyes burn, and the hairs on my skin stood on end. My wolf was restless that night, pacing back and forth. I could see her snow-white fur and violet eyes, just like mine, appear in my mind, and I heard low howls, even though all that could be heard in the ballroom were people talking and soft background music.

I felt my skin burn as if someone were watching me-I was sure of it. I looked around, but no one had their eyes on me. Yet something told me that someone definitely was. I heard a voice in my mind say, "Look up, Lyla." When I looked up, his water-green eyes met mine, and my heart raced, making my breathing grow heavier. That's when I heard the faint sound of the word "mate." Maybe I was hallucinating, maybe Any was just overly excited, or perhaps my heart was playing tricks on me. Whatever it was, I knew he had never looked so handsome. It had never felt so good to see him as it did in that moment.

I couldn't have been more wrong-Nick Marshall could never be my partner. My family has never been among the traditional families of the pack; we're more like the common folk, the working class.

"Any, are you sure?" I ask in my mind, watching Any as she continues pacing back and forth.

"Yes, Lyla, they're ours."

"You know that could never happen, don't you? We'll be rejected-I just know it."

Any stays silent, as if bracing herself for the worst moment of our lives. Being rejected would be a disgrace to our family. There has never been such a great rejection in our history. My eyes burn, and my hands are sweating. I thank the gods that I'm alone at this moment.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

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.

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.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
