Five years ago, I married Marcus Thorne, a powerful tech CEO. I cherished a fragile hope for our future, despite losing our first child and my father' s sacrificing his health to save Marcus' s life. That hope shattered at his company' s biggest gala. A young intern, Chloe, visibly pregnant, seized the microphone and triumphantly announced, "Marcus and I are expecting a child." The humiliation was absolute, but Marcus swore it was a drunken mistake. Yet three years later, I discovered he' d built a secret family with Chloe – not one child, but three, with another on the way. He dared to tell me, "I need heirs, Elara. You can' t provide them," as if I wasn't carrying our miracle baby. The very next day, Chloe, at his urging, hit me with her car at the airport. Marcus watched me bleed, then ripped my medical consent forms, sneering, "She doesn' t deserve to be saved." I lost our baby. Hours later, my father, whose life Marcus had once owed him, died while Marcus threatened his ventilator. How could my husband betray me so utterly, then inflict such unimaginable cruelty? My world, already scarred, was utterly destroyed. The raw grief, the agonizing injustice, threatened to consume me. But as I stood on a hospital rooftop, ready to end it all, a voice pulled me back. Liam. He once told me he owed me his life. Now, it was time for him to save mine, and for me to reclaim every piece Marcus had stolen.

Introduction

Five years ago, I married Marcus Thorne, a powerful tech CEO. I cherished a fragile hope for our future, despite losing our first child and my father' s sacrificing his health to save Marcus' s life.

That hope shattered at his company' s biggest gala. A young intern, Chloe, visibly pregnant, seized the microphone and triumphantly announced, "Marcus and I are expecting a child."

The humiliation was absolute, but Marcus swore it was a drunken mistake. Yet three years later, I discovered he' d built a secret family with Chloe – not one child, but three, with another on the way. He dared to tell me, "I need heirs, Elara. You can' t provide them," as if I wasn't carrying our miracle baby.

The very next day, Chloe, at his urging, hit me with her car at the airport. Marcus watched me bleed, then ripped my medical consent forms, sneering, "She doesn' t deserve to be saved." I lost our baby. Hours later, my father, whose life Marcus had once owed him, died while Marcus threatened his ventilator.

How could my husband betray me so utterly, then inflict such unimaginable cruelty? My world, already scarred, was utterly destroyed. The raw grief, the agonizing injustice, threatened to consume me.

But as I stood on a hospital rooftop, ready to end it all, a voice pulled me back. Liam. He once told me he owed me his life. Now, it was time for him to save mine, and for me to reclaim every piece Marcus had stolen.

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.

I was the Pack’s shame, a twenty-year-old "Runt" who had never shifted. Yet, I clung to the desperate hope that Alpha Marcus, the man I had loved my entire life, would finally claim me at the Full Moon Gala. Instead, he stood before the entire Pack with Izzy, a woman who looked at him with hunger rather than love. With eyes as cold as stone, he didn't just ignore me; he destroyed me. "I, Marcus Thorne, reject you, Olivia Hayes." The rejection snapped our bond, but the nightmare was just beginning. When Izzy framed me for poisoning her, Marcus didn't hesitate. He chained me in the dungeon and wielded the silver whip himself. Each lash burned like liquid fire, tearing through my skin as he demanded a confession I couldn't give. I woke up in a pool of my own blood, only to hear the nurse whisper the truth I was never meant to know. The silver toxicity hadn't just broken my body; it had killed the unborn pup I didn't even know I was carrying. Marcus had whipped the mother of his own child to protect a liar. He had killed his heir for a woman who was faking her own pregnancy. That night, as I crawled through the mud to escape, the weak Runt died. In the freezing waters of the river, my bones snapped and reshaped. I didn't just shift; I became the legendary White Wolf. And when Marcus finally realized the truth and came begging on his knees, I looked at him with my new, violet eyes and prepared to give him the rejection he deserved.

"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?
