After seven years in a dungeon for a crime I didn't commit, my fated mate, the Alpha who let them drag me away, finally opened my cell door. He announced I would take my place as his Luna, not out of love, but because the law demanded it. But the moment a frantic mind-link came through that his precious Seraphina-my adopted sister, the one who framed me-was having trouble breathing, he abandoned me without a second glance. That night, huddled in a dusty shack, I overheard my own parents' secret conversation. They were planning to have me exiled. Permanently. My return had upset Seraphina, and her "weak heart" couldn't take the shock. I lay there in the darkness, feeling nothing. Not surprise. Not even pain. Just a profound, empty coldness. They were casting me out. Again. But as they plotted my exile, a secret message arrived for me-an offer of escape. A new life in a sanctuary far to the north, where I could leave the Blackmoon Pack behind forever. They thought they were getting rid of me. Little did they know, I was already gone.

Chapter 1

Elara POV:

The heavy iron door groaned open, its protest echoing in the damp stone cell that had been my world for seven years.

Light, sharp and unfamiliar, sliced through the gloom, forcing me to squint. My muscles, atrophied from long disuse and poor nutrition, trembled as I pushed myself to my feet. A sharp, searing pain shot up my right leg, a permanent reminder of the silver shackle that had once bound me here. It had left me with a limp, a constant, nagging ache that was now a part of who I was.

"Elara."

The voice was deeper than I remembered, stripped of the warmth it held in my childhood memories. It was a voice that resonated with power, a sound that made the very stones seem to vibrate. It was the voice of my mate. My Alpha.

Kaelen stood silhouetted against the blinding light of the doorway. He was taller, broader, his presence filling the cramped space with an oppressive energy. The scent of him-a potent mix of winter pine and the clean, sharp air before a storm- flooded my senses, a scent that should have brought comfort but now only felt like a cage.

"The elders have agreed to your release," he stated, his tone flat, devoid of any emotion. He took a step inside, his dark eyes scanning my frail form with an unnerving detachment. "As per the laws of the Moon Goddess, you are still my fated mate. You will take your place as my Luna."

I said nothing. My heart, a tired, worn-out muscle, gave a feeble flutter and then settled back into its slow, rhythmic beat. The bond between us, that sacred connection the Goddess bestowed upon mated pairs, was a phantom limb. It was there, a dull throb in the back of my soul, but it was fractured, scarred over from the day he stood by and watched them drag me to this dungeon.

He seemed to take my silence as acquiescence. "Your parents... the pack elders, could not be here. Seraphina is unwell. Her heart condition has flared up again."

Seraphina. The name was like ash in my mouth. My adopted sister. The one whose place I was born to take, but who had stolen everything from me instead.

A bitter laugh threatened to escape my lips, but I swallowed it down. I was the true-born daughter of the pack's Beta, a direct descendant of the Alpha bloodline. Yet, at birth, a mistaken prophecy had labeled me an Omega, the lowest of the low. My parents, in their grief and disappointment, had adopted Seraphina, the orphaned daughter of the Gamma, and showered her with the love and status that should have been mine. I was forced to yield everything to her-my toys, my training, my position. And finally, my freedom. I had taken the fall for her, accused of conspiring with rogues, a crime she had committed. And Kaelen, my own mate, had believed the lie.

"Come," he said, turning his back to me, assuming I would follow.

I did. One slow, limping step at a time, I followed him out of the darkness and into the world that had forgotten me. The pack members we passed averted their gazes, their faces a mixture of contempt and pity. Whispers followed us like shadows, sharp and cruel.

We reached the center of the pack village, a place that once felt like home. Now, it was just a collection of hostile stares. Kaelen's Beta, a stern-faced wolf named Marcus, approached us. He bowed his head to Kaelen before turning his cold eyes on me.

"The elders have decreed that you will reside in the Omega housing for the time being," he announced, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear. "It is best you do not show your face in public until the Alpha deems it appropriate."

Humiliation washed over me, a familiar, chilling wave. Seven years in a dungeon, only to be released into another form of prison.

Before Kaelen could respond, I felt a faint flicker against my mental shields. A mind-link. It was weak, frantic.

'Kaelen! Where are you? Seraphina is asking for you! She's having trouble breathing!'

Kaelen's entire posture shifted. The cold indifference was replaced by a raw, immediate panic. His head snapped up, his eyes searching the distance as if he could see her.

'I'm on my way,' he projected back, his mental voice a sharp crackle of urgency.

He didn't even look at me. He just turned and sprinted towards the large, ornate house where the pack leaders lived, leaving me alone in the center of the square, the target of a hundred scornful eyes.

I didn't need anyone to show me the way. My legs, despite the pain, remembered the path to the outskirts of the village, to the dilapidated shacks reserved for the Omegas. I pushed open the door to the smallest one, the one that had been mine before the dungeon. Dust motes danced in the slivers of light piercing the grimy window. The air was stale, thick with the ghosts of loneliness.

I collapsed onto the thin straw mattress, my body screaming in protest. Exhaustion, deep and absolute, pulled me under.

Later that night, I was roused from a restless sleep by a familiar mental hum. My parents and my younger sister, Lyra, were communicating through the mind-link. My white wolf blood, a secret I had guarded my entire life, gave me the ability to perceive even the most private of these connections, a curse I had learned to endure.

'She can't stay here,' my mother's voice was laced with anxiety. 'Seraphina saw her from the window. The shock was too much for her weak heart. She's been crying for hours.'

'Father, what should we do?' Lyra's voice, once a source of comfort, was now sharp with annoyance. 'Her presence is a disruption.'

'I will speak to Kaelen,' my father, the Beta, replied, his tone heavy. 'For the good of the pack, and for Seraphina's health, Elara must be exiled. Permanently.'

I lay there in the darkness, my eyes wide open, feeling nothing. Not surprise. Not even pain. Just a profound, empty coldness. They were casting me out. Again.

Just as I was about to let the darkness claim me once more, a soft tapping sound came from the window. I dragged my aching body over and saw a small, dark bird perched on the sill. Tied to its leg was a tiny scroll. My fingers trembled as I untied it.

It was from an old healer in a neighboring pack, a kind woman who had known of my true lineage. The message was brief. She had arranged an opportunity for me, a place of sanctuary far to the north, a place where I could start over, under a new name, and leave the Blackmoon Pack behind forever. The offer was for ten days from now.

A single, hot tear traced a path through the grime on my cheek. It wasn't a tear of sadness, but of relief. This was it. My escape.

I looked at the scroll, then out at the moon hanging high in the night sky. They wanted to exile me. Little did they know, I was already planning my own departure. And this time, I would never look back.

I carried the first word I had spoken in ten years like a sacred offering, ready to surprise the man who had saved my life. But through the crack in the study door, I heard Josiah tell his Underboss that I was nothing but a noose around his neck. "Grace is a burden," he said, his voice cold. "I can't become Don while babysitting a mute ghost. Lexi brings power. Grace brings nothing but silence." He chose to marry the Mafia Princess for her father's trade routes, dismissing me as wreckage. But the true betrayal didn't happen in that office. It happened in the woods during an ambush. With bullets flying and the mud sliding beneath us into a ravine, Josiah had to make a choice. I was injured, trapped at the bottom. Lexi was screaming on the ridge. He looked at me, mouthed "I'm sorry," and turned his back. He hauled Lexi to safety to secure his alliance. He left me to die alone in the freezing mud. I lay there in the dark, realizing the man who swore a blood oath to protect me had traded my life for a political seat. He thought the silence would finally swallow me whole. He was wrong. I crawled out of that grave and vanished from his world completely. Three years later, I returned to the city, not as his broken ward, but as a world-renowned artist. When Josiah showed up at my gallery, looking shattered and begging for forgiveness, I didn't sign. I looked him dead in the eye and spoke. "The girl who loved you died in that ravine, Josiah."

I spent three years acting as a high-end manufacturing plant for the Snyder dynasty, waiting for the day I could finally break my golden cage. Today, I slid the postnuptial amendment across the desk, trading my marriage for fifty million dollars and a chance to breathe again. I thought I was free the moment the elevator doors closed. But while I was at a club celebrating my "asset liquidation" with champagne and silk blindfolds, the Snyder empire was falling apart. My grandfather-in-law had a heart attack the second he heard I was gone, and he refused the surgery that would save his life unless I was the one to authorize it. Claudius didn't send a lawyer to bring me back; he came himself. He burst into my private VIP suite like a predator, his eyes cold enough to freeze the room. He saw the models, the drinks, and the blindfold, and he instantly assumed I was selling my dignity at a discount just hours after leaving him. He didn't care about the truth or the papers I’d already signed. He kicked the cameras out of his cousin’s hands, cleared the room with a single look of death, and hauled me over his shoulder like a sack of grain in front of everyone. To him, I wasn't a woman or a wife; I was a critical piece of hardware that had gone rogue. "The separation is paused," he growled, pinning me against the leather seats of his Maybach as the child locks clicked into place. I stared at the bite mark I’d just left on his thumb, realizing that in the world of the Snyders, even a signed exit strategy was just another contract he was willing to break. This wasn't the end of my marriage; it was the start of a much more dangerous game.

When Family Becomes The Enemy

"A daughter should never marry better than her family, Sarah. It's a simple truth." My adoptive father, Mr. Miller, laid down the law every night, telling me my only job was to be grateful and listen to his "guidance." Then, a week later, my successful boyfriend, Michael, came to dinner, flowers in hand. My father, who had just fawned over my brother Kevin's wealthy girlfriend, turned ice-cold. "Get out of my house," he snarled at Michael, shaming me and driving him away. Hours later, the nightmare escalated. My father, drunk and enraged, announced he had already arranged my marriage to Leo, a man I barely knew. When I refused, he lunged across the table and struck me. I fled, humiliated and betrayed, only to have my father ambush me at work the next day with Leo. He publicly announced our "engagement," turning my professional life into a circus. Michael walked in on the chaos, and the trust in his eyes vanished. He left, unable to handle the "chaos." My own family, including my mother, then blamed me for everything, even after my brother physically assaulted me. They demanded I fix their problems, clean up their mess. How could my own family do this? What twisted logic allowed them to treat me like property, to sabotage my life at every turn, while showering their biological son with privilege? Why was I, the dutiful daughter, always the one punished? Their cruelty, their endless demands, transformed my despair into a cold, hard rage. I saw their game, and I decided then and there: if I couldn't fight them head-on, I would dismantle their power from the inside. They wanted a pawn? Fine. They were about to get a queen.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.
