Born as the Alpha's daughter, Iris Wellington was an invisible existence. All the spotlight fell to her sister's head, Selia Wellington. The treatment she received within the pack was akin to heaven and earth compared to her sister. On top of that, she was rejected by an unknown mate she just recently found... Could her life get more miserable than that? She started hatching her own plan, learning all sort of survival skills so that she could wander and find a place where none discriminate her. Yet, destiny seemed to be always against her. Her sister disappeared. She was tasked with the job to replace her as the royal Alpha's son's mate until they found her sister again. How can she survive in the place more treacherous than her own pack? Where she could lose her life any moment if her real identity was found out. Worse, she happened to meet her mate again in this pack that was multiple times stronger than the pack she originated from. Just in time for the addition to the life of chaos.

Cursed Lycan: A Stand-in for My Sister's Mate Chapter 1 Invisible

"Why would I like her? That face resembles Selia. That's all. Ultimately, she is not Selia. Maybe after the night passed, Selia would be my mate..." The future Beta, Danny Brook's voice rang from the crowd. Behind the tree, Iris Wellington nearly stopped breathing.

Tears pooled in her eyes. His words were akin to a knife stabbing her heart, twisting it.

She knew that she was an outcast. She had nothing to offer, so she thought he was approaching and caring for her with no ulterior motives.

It was all wrong. He made a fool of her.

Despite possessing similar looks, Iris has a fate the opposite of her sister. Selia Wellington was the darling daughter of the Silver Moon pack's Alpha, the girl whom everyone adored. On this day, she officially turned fifteen, which meant also her coming of age ritual would be held.

Everyone gathered, excited for their Alpha's daughter and, if she was lucky, she could even find her fated mate. There was none who didn't present in this ritual; most werewolves had abandoned whatever they were doing, freeing the schedule just for this gathering.

"Have you congratulated Miss Selia...?" Danny's close friend asked him.

Iris looked away from the sight, her heart still clenched in pain.

Her coming of age ceremony was held a few months ago. Only a few people came, and some did out of pity. The abandoned daughter of Alpha Wellington that was always invisible.

One of the few who came was Danny, someone whom she thought cared for her. Today, she found out it was all lies. He treated her merely as Selia's substitute.

She wasn't as strong nor charismatic as her half-sister, who had successfully turned to her wolf form at the age of five. Selia was touted as a genius that only appeared once in a hundred years. Everyone was so excited when the news spread that they held a party and celebrated her transformation for days.

When she came out behind the tree, everyone became silent. They stole her a glance, yet devoid of any guilt.

"Miss Iris, you don't want to come forward to accompany your sister? All your family members are there." Someone suddenly said to Iris, who was standing at a corner in all her quietness.

She scrutinized the person briefly, then looked away without answering. The man clicked his tongue and then walked away, leaving Iris alone under the shadows of the trees and faint moonlight.

There was no need to look in the man's direction to see what he would do next. He had approached a group of werewolves that stood together near Danny, discussing something. Definitely gossiping about her right now.

In the middle of the werewolves gathering, and right beside the flickering fire, Selia did the formality of turning to her werewolf form; something that most would happen to most werewolves when they reached adulthood, in exception of strong ones who could turn to their wolf's form in their childhood.

She howled loudly to the moon above, the thundering voice resonating through the woods. The action was followed by the other werewolves of the packs. Then they shifted to their wolf form, including Alpha Wellington. Led by him, they ran through the woods to return to their residents.

Iris was one of the last werewolves to shift to her wolf form and followed from behind. She had just gotten control of her emotions, hurtful but manageable. Anyway, who told her to catch feelings? None.

She had actually been fidgeting since earlier. It was unknown whether it was just the heartbroken mood affecting her.A premonition was telling her that something bad was about to happen. Most importantly, they were out in the open. Although the woods still belonged to their pack's territory, it was situated near the Nether Mountain.

She sniffed, and the unpleasant smell instantly assaulted her senses. Out of instinct, she instantly told the werewolves running ahead of her through mind link. "Be careful!"

As usual, they acted like they didn't hear her, treating her as if she didn't exist. They continued to run in relaxed speed, still in the euphoria of their Alpha's genius daughter finally coming of age.

"Watch your surroundings!" The premonition in Iris's heart grew stronger and she couldn't help but give another warning.

"It's your sister's coming of age today, Miss. Don't destroy it by doing a stupid prank," someone sneered.

"We won't fall for your stupid trick. You are just jealous of your sister's lively coming of age ceremony," another one added.

Thus, they ran ahead and insisted on ignoring her.

Yet, only a few seconds after her warning, the situation grew chaotic. The formerly quiet forest had turned into a situation akin to purgatory; blood splattered on the ground, pained howls and the smell of blood thick in the air. Her words had come true.

Originally, she thought that it was the demons attacking them, but Iris found out soon that she was wrong. They were unlucky. In the coming of age ritual this time, they had accidentally chanced upon a group of rogue werewolves.

Besides the demons residing in the Nether Mountain, rogue werewolves were another threat dangerous to normal werewolves, because often, they had lost their sanity. Rogue had a bigger body as they were full of explosive power, black fur, and a crazed look in their eyes.

"Protect Miss Selia!" a lot of them shouted. The stronger werewolves began to retaliate against those rogue werewolves. Of course, they would have her as a priority, because she was also the hope of their pack.

Iris tried to maneuver herself in the midst of the attacks. She was nimble enough to avoid claws directed at her, although her body also slammed against others a few times; she had to struggle to balance herself.

It was also beyond her how she somehow arrived near Selia, where there were a lot of werewolves forming a circle around her. Even their father, Alpha Wellington, always stayed beside Selia, warding off any attack coming their way. He was so strong that he easily snapped any rogue's neck with one claw.

Iris' eyelashes fluttered, hiding emotions swirling within her eyes.

"Don't just stand there, you are so useless!" Until she heard someone shouting at her. It was Danny, who appeared beside her and tore open a rogue's neck with his claws.

The lapse of focus had caused her to almost lose her life, and she gasped. Danny shot her a disdainful look, and he growled as he shoved her towards the place where Selia was standing and said with a sneer. "Go stand there. Be as wise as your sister and don't bother us."

Everyone was panicking, and things were all in a mess. There were screams of agony, crying, and mourning in the middle of this battle.

"Let me. I can also fight." Selia tried to bypass some werewolves that were guarding her. Accidentally, it was at the same time that Danny had shoved Iris towards her. Both of them were kicked outside of the protective circle from the rebound force of colliding against each other.

Iris groaned as her body hit a tall tree. Not far from her, there was also Selia, who had just slammed against a rogue werewolf. She fought a bit with it, but because she wasn't ready, she accidentally hurt her arm. Luckily, she managed to kill it before the rogue bit her neck.

It was also at this very moment that a group of rogue werewolves swarmed toward them. Iris's pupils constricted, and she struggled to get up. She fought those rogue werewolves until her fur was all red and covered in blood.

She nearly couldn't hold it in anymore, gasping for breath as another claw managed to get her neck. Blood spurted out, which made the rogue werewolves around her crazier. At this very moment, she was desperate.

None came to save her.

However, the sight of the battle nearby couldn't break her heart further. Although Selia was back protected by the werewolves of their pack, her father, Alpha Wellington, still stayed close to his favorite daughter.

In her desperation, Iris even felt like giving up. She had always been invisible anyway; an awkward existence that shouldn't exist, so she shouldn't disturb Alpha Wellington's family. Wasn't he, Luna Lucy, and their daughter, Selia, a perfect family?

She never felt so lonely, fighting this horde of rogue werewolves. The enormous body of a rogue slammed against her. She bounced a few meters to the ground. When it jumped at her slumped figure, she could sense the death approaching.

Iris sent one last look at Alpha Wellington. Then, the blurry figures of Selia and Danny who were closely fighting back to back, in harmony and complete understanding of each other. She closed her eyes.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

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 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.

For seventeen years, I was the crown jewel of the Kensington empire, the perfect daughter groomed for a royal future. Then, a cream-colored envelope landed in my lap, bearing a gold crest and a truth that turned my world into ice. The DNA test result was a cold, hard zero percent-I wasn't a Kensington. Before the ink could even dry, my parents invited my replacement, a girl named Alleen, into the drawing room and treated me like a trespasser in my own home. My mother, who once hosted galas in my honor, wouldn't even look me in the eye as she stroked Alleen's arm, whispering that she was finally "safe." My father handed me a one-million-dollar check-a mere tip for a billionaire-and told me to leave immediately to avoid tanking the company's stock price. "You're a thief! You lived my life, you spent my money, and you don't get to keep the loot!" Alleen shrieked, trying to claw the designer jacket off my shoulders while my "parents" watched with clinical detachment. I was dumped on a gritty sidewalk in Queens with nothing but three trunks and the address of a struggling laborer I was now supposed to call "Dad." I traded a marble mansion for a crumbling walk-up where the air smelled of exhaust and my new bedroom was a literal storage closet. My biological family thought I was a broken princess, and the Kensingtons thought they had successfully erased me with a payoff and a non-disclosure agreement. They had no idea that while I was hauling trunks up four flights of stairs, my secret media empire was already preparing to move against them. As I sat on a thin mattress in the dark, I opened my encrypted laptop and sent a single command that would cost my former father ten million dollars by breakfast. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves, but they forgot one thing: I'm the one who leads the pack.
