My father kicked me again and again. "No daughter of mine would've been so completely useless. All you have brought us is shame and embarrassment. Enough. I've arranged your marriage with the Lycan King. He'll come for you tomorrow and I'll finally be rid of you" "W-what? The Beast Lycan?" I stuttered, my fathers words hit me like a block of ice. "Precisely. He could kill you like his other wives for all I care. Good riddance" My father looked at me one last time, his eyes filled with disgusted contempt before he walked out of the house. ~~~ Iris is hated on by her pack and her father. She gets rejected by her mate and her father arranges her marriage to the Lycan king. The Lycan king has a terrible reputation for killing his brides. Now sucked into his world, Iris is determined to survive and win him over. And things get more complicated when her mate wants her back. Stuck between two men and an origin she knows nothing about, what decision will she make?

Chapter 1 MARRIED

The room was filled with guests of different calibers. Everyone had rushed at the chance to finally get a good look at the beast lycan. The thought of it humored me.

I stood in a corner with a champagne glass observing it all. I started to grow weary so I decided to leave the main party for a while.

I made my way out of the sprawling mansion and into the gardens. I'd barely moved when I felt a hand grab onto me. I turned around, startled and my eyes locked on his.

The man who had caused me so much pain.

"Iris, it's you..." His voice voice softer, more tender than I remembered. It my chest ache for some reason.

It had been months since I last saw Jacob, the last time I'd set my eyes on him, he'd humiliated me and rejected me as his mate. Seeing him again brought back a rush of old feelings which I thought I'd buried.

"Jacob... W-what are you doing here?"

"I had to come see you, after I found out your father married you off and to such a beast of a man, I couldn't stop thinking about you... this was my only chance to see you again"

His words surprised me, the ingenuity and the way he looked into my eyes. I wished he'd looked at me that way months ago; then, perhaps I wouldn't be here.

"I... I don't understand what you mean Jacob, why would you care about me because you made it crystal clear that you don't actually"

He let go of me as he ran his hands through his hair, seemingly exasperated.

"I know Iris, I know, I messed up. What I did to you was awful... but rejecting you as my mate was the worst decision I've ever made"

I felt a tug in my chest, my heartbeat quickened as he spoke.

"I want you back Iris, please come back with me"

"It's too late for that, Jacob. You rejected me and humiliated me in front of everyone... I can't go back to a pack that related me so cruelly" I tried to sound firm but my heart was breaking.

The man I'd loved finally felt the same way about me but I couldn't... I just couldn't... not anymore.

"And how does he treat you?" Jacob questioned as I turned to leave, stopping me in my tracks.

I knew he was referring to the beast Lycan. He was the man my father had married me off to and he had an awful reputation.

"That doesn't matter... he's my husband. I'm a married woman, Jacob, so leave me alone"

"Does he hurt you?" Jacob held me again as he stared into my eyes, searching for something... an answer... the truth but he didn't deserve to know.

"Jacob, leave me alone," I said with a tone of finality as I shook him off and walked back into the party.

The bright lights made my vision feel hazy and weak as I stumbled through the guests.

I could hear Jacob calling after me but I chose to ignore him.

He couldn't just change his mind as he pleased and expect that I'd be willing to jump into his open arms.

Jacob soon grabbed onto me and I froze... No, not in front of everyone, not when he'd be able to see me.

"Jacob... l-let go of me. Everyone's here"

"I don't care, all I care about is you. Just hear me out, Iris"

I tried to rip his hand off me but it didn't work. He pulled me in closer to me, and he whispered in my ear; his warm breath on my neck sent involuntary chills throughout my body. For a moment, I forgot where we were.

"I know I hurt you, Iris, and for that, I am so very sorry. But since you left, you have no idea how I've pined for you each and every single minute of every day. I couldn't stop thinking about you... Come back with me, give me a chance to make things right"

Jacob was the stable beautiful life I'd always dreamed of... but that was all it was. Dreams... I'd come to face the real world and it was the opposite.

"I'm married"

"Do you love him?"

I looked up at Jacob, his question catching me off guard.

"If you tell me right now that you love him and you're happy with him, I'll leave. I promise you"

Did I love my husband?

I didn't have an answer to that question yet.

I was about to speak again when I heard everyone in the crowd go silent. I didn't even have to look to know he had entered the room.

His aura was so powerful and intense, I felt it in every breath I took. I couldn't let him see me with Jacob.

"Jacob, Jacob... you have to let me go now" I whispered sharply.

"Answer me first"

I looked towards him as he approached us, his cold blue eyes had already locked on me the moment he entered. I let out a sigh, anticipating what was to come.

"Unhand my wife" His voice came out like a low growl as he came up behind me and wrapped his hand around my waist.

Jacob looked up at him, an unreadable expression on his face.

"We were just talking"

"And I'm here now, so leave"

Jacob stared at me longingly for a second longer and I felt my husband pulling me on even closer. He was jealous, I knew that for a fact. And I also knew he would do something crazy because of it.

He guided me through the crowd to the staircase which served as a podium. I stood beside him as he addressed the crowd, all the while, Jacobs's words replayed in my head.

"And now... I introduce to you all, my mate" I heard him say as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I looked around at all the people staring at me and I began to feel uncomfortable. In the midst of the crowd, my eyes locked on Jacobs.

My husband pulled me closer with a strange look in his eyes

"W-what are you doing?"

"I'm marking what is mine"

Before I could say another word, he sunk his teeth on my neck as a loud moan escaped my throat.

The suddenness of his action weakened me and he held onto me like I was but a doll. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Jacob walking out and I couldn't help but think about the moments which had led up to this...

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.

SHANA GRAY
4.5

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
