For seven years, I was the rejected mate of Alpha Kaelan Blackwood. But he never wanted me; he only ever wanted Livia, the woman he'd grown up with. When Livia framed me for stealing a priceless necklace, Kaelan didn't even hesitate. "You disgusting Omega," he spat. "You are not even worthy of licking the dirt from her shoes." Then he had his guards cuff me in silver and drag me to the cells, all while Livia wept crocodile tears in his arms. As they hauled me away, I saw him flinch, a flicker of pain from our severed bond crossing his face. But he did nothing. In that moment, seven years of foolish hope finally died. The next day, after my mother bailed me out, a rival Alpha found me at the airport. He offered me a position as his Chief Strategic Advisor, with one goal: to destroy Kaelan's empire. I accepted without a second thought.

For seven years, I was the rejected mate of Alpha Kaelan Blackwood.

But he never wanted me; he only ever wanted Livia, the woman he'd grown up with.

When Livia framed me for stealing a priceless necklace, Kaelan didn't even hesitate.

"You disgusting Omega," he spat. "You are not even worthy of licking the dirt from her shoes."

Then he had his guards cuff me in silver and drag me to the cells, all while Livia wept crocodile tears in his arms.

As they hauled me away, I saw him flinch, a flicker of pain from our severed bond crossing his face.

But he did nothing. In that moment, seven years of foolish hope finally died.

The next day, after my mother bailed me out, a rival Alpha found me at the airport.

He offered me a position as his Chief Strategic Advisor, with one goal: to destroy Kaelan's empire.

I accepted without a second thought.

Chapter 1

Seraphina POV:

The message sliced through my mind, cold and sharp. It wasn't a voice, but a feeling, an official stamp of finality pressed onto my soul.

"The Elders' Council hereby confirms that the Moon Goddess has witnessed the severing. The seven-year observation period between Alpha Kaelan Blackwood and the Omega, Seraphina Vale, is concluded. Your claim to the title of Luna is permanently nullified."

I stood in the shadows of the grand ballroom, the crystal chandeliers of the Black Moon Pack's annual gala casting a mocking glitter over the scene. My fingers tightened around the tray of empty champagne flutes I was meant to be clearing.

Across the room, Livia Thorne was the center of it all, her laughter like tinkling glass. She was celebrating a recent business victory, but everyone knew the real celebration was this. My final, official demotion.

"Look at her," one of Livia's friends sneered, her voice a whisper in the physical world but a shout in the pack's shared mental space. "Still pretending she has a place here."

Livia's eyes, bright and cruel, found mine. She glided over, a predator in a silk dress.

"Seraphina, darling," she cooed, her voice dripping with fake sympathy. "Still working so hard. You must be exhausted. But I suppose it's what your kind is good for."

She gestured vaguely at my simple servant's uniform. "It's a shame, really. Your mother was such a gifted healer before... well, you know." She smirked. "At least she could hear the pack's needs. A deaf healer. What a tragic waste. I do hope she doesn't pass on that defective blood of hers."

A low growl rumbled in my chest, a sound I hadn't made in years. My mother. She could insult me, degrade me, but my mother was the line.

"Don't," I said, my voice raspy from disuse. "Don't you dare talk about her."

"Or what?" Livia laughed. She picked up a glass of red wine from a passing tray. "Will the little Omega bite?"

I shoved her. Not hard, just enough to make her step back. It was a foolish, impulsive act. An Omega should never lay a hand on a Beta of high standing.

Livia's eyes widened in theatrical shock before narrowing into pure malice. With a flick of her wrist, she flung the contents of her glass at me.

A searing pain erupted across my cheek and down my neck. It wasn't just wine. I smelled it instantly-the acrid, burning scent of silver. Just a few grains, enough to cause excruciating pain and ugly, blistering marks on a werewolf's skin, but not enough to be lethal.

Gasps echoed around us. I clutched my face, the burn a white-hot agony.

"What is the meaning of this?"

The voice cut through the noise like a whip crack. It was deep, resonant, and laced with an authority that made every wolf in the room, including me, freeze. The Alpha's Command.

Alpha Kaelan Blackwood stood there, his imposing frame radiating power and fury. His eyes, the color of a stormy sky, were fixed on the scene.

"Livia!" he snarled.

Livia's face immediately crumpled. "Kaelan! She pushed me! This... this Omega, she attacked me!"

"She is my rejected Mate," Kaelan said, his tone dangerously low. "And she is still under my protection. You will not harm her."

Tears welled in Livia's eyes. "Your protection? For seven years, Kaelan! Seven years you've kept her here, this constant reminder of your bond. You told me it was to make me jealous, to make me realize what I'd lost!"

Kaelan's jaw tightened. He stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over my blistering skin before landing back on Livia. A muscle worked in his cheek.

"And what makes you think," he asked, his voice suddenly void of all warmth, "that I would wait for you forever?"

He grabbed my arm, his touch sending a familiar, agonizing jolt through me-the ghost of our broken bond. He pulled me away from the gawking crowd, his grip firm as he led me out of the ballroom.

In the sterile silence of his car, the scent of leather and his own powerful aura-like a pine forest after a thunderstorm-filled my lungs. He dabbed a sterile wipe from the car's first-aid kit onto my cheek. I flinched.

"Stay still," he ordered, his voice softer now. He finished cleaning the wound, his expression unreadable.

He tossed the wipe aside and started the car. "I'm sorry about Livia," he said, not looking at me. "I'll deal with her."

I said nothing.

He drove for a few minutes in silence, the city lights blurring past the window. Then, he spoke again, a strange note in his voice. "I just realized... today is the anniversary."

The anniversary. The day we first met, the day our wolves had recognized each other. The day he had looked at me with disgust and uttered the words that shattered my world. The day he rejected me.

"I'll buy you something," he offered, as if that could fix anything. "A compensation."

I finally turned to look at him, my face a mask of calm I did not feel. "That day doesn't mean anything to me anymore, Alpha."

A flicker of something-surprise? annoyance?-crossed his face. Before he could respond, a frantic, cloying voice invaded my mind, because it was directed at him, and the remnants of our bond still allowed me to feel the echoes.

"Kaelan, please come get me. I'm scared of the dark. You know I am."

It was Livia. Of course, it was.

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.

"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?
