Alpha's Claim Chapter 1 A Life in Hiding

Mira

The sound of a breaking plate echoed down the hallway before I even turned the knob to enter the kitchen. I stood there for a heartbeat longer, hand frozen on the door, breathing in the silence that followed.

Then her voice, sharp and seething. "Mira! Did you forget how to walk faster, or are you just enjoying your usefulness today?"

I pushed the door open, and I stepped into the kitchen like a prisoner entering a cell.

My stepmother Talia stood at the centre of the room, one perfectly manicured hand on her hip, the other pointing to the shattered plates like it was my fault gravity existed.

Her hair was curled in a lazy bun, not a single strand out of place. Besides her, my half-sister sat at the counter scrolling on her phone, smirking like she was waiting for her cue in the cruel play.

"You've got eyes, don't you? Clean that up." Talia's voice grated, cold and impatient.

I swallowed whatever words rose up my throat. Anger was dangerous. Anger made her worse. So I dropped my school bag by the door and crouched, carefully picking up each piece of porcelain. The floor was cold against my knees. The edge of the shards bit into my fingers.

"Be careful," my half-sister Sia said with mock sweetness. "We wouldn't want you bleeding on the floor you haven't mopped yet."

I didn't reply.

There is power in silence; it made them think they'd won.

But I knew better. Every scar they left only built the armour around me tighter.

I finished cleaning and headed to the sink to wash dust off my hands.

My fingers trembled as I turned on the water. Maybe it was exhaustion.

Maybe something else. I hadn't slept much again-same old dreams. Same blurry flashes of my mum, a storm, a scream, a shadow in the woods, and then...nothing. Just that burning emptiness where her voice used to be.

She died nine years ago. I was ten.

They said I killed her.

I blinked hard and shoved the memory away like a splinter under the skin. Some pain didn't fade. You just learnt to limp with it.

"Mira". My stepmother's voice again. I turned her eyes to rank over me. "After school, don't even think of coming straight home. The car shop called. Their cleaning girl quit again. You'll take over until they find someone less pathetic."

I opened my mouth.

"Don't talk back." She snapped. "You're already eating free food under my roof. Might as well work for it."

Free food. Right. The food I bought from my part-time jobs last week. The one they devoured while I stayed hungry and silent.

I grabbed my bag and headed for the door. Just before I left, I heard her whisper to Sia, "If only she'd died with her mother."

The door clicked behind me before I let the tears sting my eyes.

The cold wind bit into my face as I stepped out. Autumn in this town always had a certain cruelty to it-like even the weather knew how to bruise. I kept my hood up and headphones in, not because I listened to music but to drown the whispers when I passed by the others.

They never changed.

"Still hasn't shifted."

"She's 19 and still not wolf embarrassing."

"I heard she's cursed. Something about her mom's death..."

I walked faster. The streets blurred. My body moved on autopilot until I reached the gates of Crescent Hill High.

Inside it was the same story on repeat.

A shove against my locker, laughter echoing in the hallway.

"Ohh, sorry. Didn't see the invincible girls there," Aria sang, flickering her perfect hair. Nelly stood beside her, giggling like a wind-up doll.

I stepped away, gripping my books tight. I'd learnt not to flinch. That only gave them more reason to play harder.

"Still haven't sprouted a tail, runt?"

Aria's smile was all teeth. "Maybe your daddy should have mated with someone more... functional."

The words didn't hurt anymore.

Not because they weren't true. But because pain only mattered when you expected kindness.

And I'd stopped expecting that years ago.

The rest of the day passed in a blur of dull lectures and I didn't return. I worked two hours after school, scrubbing grease off the garage floor and wiping down muddy tires.

By the time I got home, the house was dark. No dinner, of course. Just a cold kitchen and a colder silence.

I stood in front of the cracked bathroom mirror staring at the girl staring back.

Red hair- long curly, impossible to tame . Pale skin. Grey eyes are too big for her face. I looked like a ghost for a girl who never got to be whole.

But it wasn't the hair or eyes that haunted me.

It was the absence of everything else. No wolf. No strength. No shift. Nothing. Like something inside me was frozen. Waiting.

I reached up and rolled back the sleeve of my shirt.

There, hidden beneath years of secrecy, sat the mark I never let anyone see. A soft crescent on the inside of my back- faint , glowing silver in the bathroom light. I can only see it when I use a mirror.

The mark had been there since the night mom died .

And sometimes... just sometimes ... it shimmered when I cried.

I curled up in bed that night without dinner, blankets tucked around me like armor . Somewhere between sleep and memory, I saw it again .

The forest.

The scream.

The blood.

The wolf's eyes staring through the dark.

And a voice-distant and low-whispering words I couldn't understand.

But tonight something changed. For the first time, the voice ended with a word I understood.

"Soon"

I woke up gasping, clutching my wrist.

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.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

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 fiancĂ©e. 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.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.
