Chapter 1 Agony

Carly woke to the sound of keys jangling and the heavy door of her cell creaking open. Her heart skipped as the light from the hallway flooded in. She squinted, trying to adjust her eyes to the sudden brightness. Alpha Arnold stood in the doorway, his silhouette looming menacingly.

"Get up, Carly," he barked. "Today's going to be a busy day, and I don't want any of your sluggishness slowing us down."

She hurried to her feet, her body still sore from the previous day's work. Without a word, she followed Alpha Arnold out of the cell and into the dimly lit hallway.

Carly's mind raced again with thoughts of escape plans. She had to be careful with Alpha Arnold. Any mistakes could lead to severe punishment, and she couldn't afford that now. She had to bide her time, waiting for the perfect moment to make her move.

They entered the main hall, where the other slaves were already at work. The room buzzed with activity as they prepared for another day of their monthly responsibilities. Carly's heart sank as she saw the fear in their eyes, the same fear that had taken root in her own heart.

"Listen up, everyone!" Alpha Arnold's voice boomed across the room, silencing the murmurs of the slaves. "Today, we have special guests arriving from the neighboring packs. I expect everything to be perfect. No mistakes. Do you understand?"

A chorus of murmured agreements followed, and Alpha Arnold was pleased with everyone's response. He turned to Carly, his eyes narrowing.

"Carly, you'll be in charge of cleaning the guest quarters. Make sure everything is spotless. And remember, any mistakes will be severely punished."

"Yes, Alpha Arnold," Carly replied, her voice trembling slightly. She turned and made her way to the guest quarters, her mind focused on the task at hand.

The guest quarters were a series of rooms at the far end of the hall, reserved for the most important visitors. Carly entered the first room, a large, opulent space filled with rich furnishings and elaborate decorations. She took a deep breath and began to clean, her hands moving quickly and efficiently.

Finally, the guest quarters were clean, and Carly stepped back to admire her work. She was exhausted, her body aching from the effort. At least for now, she had done something right.

"Carly!" Alpha Arnold's voice called from the doorway, and she turned to see him. "Are you finished?"

"Yes, Alpha Arnold," she replied, her voice steady despite the fear that gripped her.

"Good. Follow me. There's more work to be done."

Carly followed him out of the room and back into the main hall. The other slaves were still hard at work, their faces etched with weariness.

"You'll be helping with the preparations for tonight's feast," he said, gesturing to the mess. "Make sure everything is in order."

Carly nodded and began to sort through the supplies. While she was working, she overheard snippets of conversation from the other slaves, their voices low.

"Did you hear about the new visitors?" one of them whispered. "I heard they're even worse than Alpha Arnold."

"Just keep your head down and do your work," another replied. "We can't afford to get on their bad side."

Carly's heart sank at the thought. If these new visitors were truly worse than Alpha Arnold, then their situation was even more dire than she had imagined. She had to find a way out, and soon.

But who could she trust? The other slaves were just as fearful as she was, their spirits broken by years of servitude. She needed someone strong, someone brave enough to stand up to Alpha Arnold and his pack.

The guests began to arrive, their voices filling the hall with a cacophony of noise. Carly kept her head down, focusing on her tasks, but she couldn't help but listen to their conversations.

"Did you hear about the latest raid?" one of the guests said, his voice filled with excitement. "The Resistance is getting bolder. They attacked one of our outposts last night."

"Yes, I heard," another replied. "But they'll never win. We're too strong for them."

Carly was surprised when they mentioned the word Resistance. If they were truly out there, fighting against the wolf packs, then maybe there was hope. She just needed to find a way to contact them.

As she served the guests, Carly couldn't help but notice the tension in the air. The wolves from the neighboring packs seemed restless, their conversations hushed and urgent. She moved carefully, avoiding their scrutinizing gazes, her mind racing with the possibilities.

There, in a hidden alcove, was a man she had never seen before. He was dressed in dark, practical clothing, and his eyes were sharp and alert.

"Who are you?" she whispered, glancing nervously back toward the stairs.

The man raised a finger to his lips, signaling for silence. "My name is Liam," he said quietly. "I'm with the Resistance."

Carly's breath caught in her throat. The Resistance. They were real, and they were here. "What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

"We've been watching the packs for some time," Liam explained. "We're looking for people who want to fight back."

"I want to fight back," Carly said quickly, desperation in her voice. "I can't stay here any longer."

Liam nodded. "I can help you, but we need to be careful. Alpha Arnold has eyes everywhere. Can you meet me here again, tomorrow night?"

"Yes," Carly replied without hesitation. "I'll be here."

Liam handed her a small, folded piece of paper. "This has the details of our next meeting point. Memorize it and destroy it. We can't risk it falling into the wrong hands."

Carly took the paper, her hands shaking. "Thank you," she whispered.

"Stay strong," Liam said, his voice steady and reassuring. "We'll get you out of here."

With that, Carly quickly made her way back to the hall. She had to be very careful. Arnold has connections with the Lamine packs, and any information he disperses to them and the Alpha of Lamine packs is what they will always follow and do. They can never object to it.

As she resumed her duties, Carly's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and plans. She now had hope, a light in the darkness that had consumed her life for so long. But she had to be cautious. One wrong move, and everything could be lost.

The feast went on, the guests laughing and talking, oblivious to the turmoil inside Carly. She moved among them, serving food and drinks, all the while plotting her escape. The Resistance was her only hope, and she clung to it with every fiber of her being.

Carly could feel the weight of the small piece of paper in her pocket. It was a symbol of her newfound hope, a reminder that she was not alone. She had to memorize its contents and destroy it, just as Liam had instructed.

Finally, the guests began to leave, their laughter echoing in the hall. Carly let out a sigh of relief, hoping she could retire to her cell without any more trouble. But as she started to clean up, Alpha Arnold approached her, a smirk on his face.

"You did well tonight, Carly," he said, his tone mocking. "But don't think for a second that means you're off the hook. You still have a lot to learn about serving your betters."

"Yes, Alpha Arnold," she replied, her voice barely audible.

"Go to your cell. Tomorrow will be another long day."

Carly nodded and made her way back to her cell, her body aching from the day's labor. She lay down on the hard, cold floor, her thoughts turning to escape once more. She couldn't stay here forever. She had to find a way out, no matter the cost.

Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.

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.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
