I was the long-lost heir of the sacred White Wolf lineage, destined to be the Luna of our pack. My mate, Alpha Kaelen, was supposed to be the other half of my soul. Then I discovered his five-year secret: another family, with a son whose birthday was the same day as mine. Through a gallery window, I watched him kiss another woman and promise their child the very amusement park I had begged for. My own parents were in on it, helping them steal pack funds to finance this secret life. They were even planning to drug me on my birthday so I would sleep through their celebration. To them, I wasn't a daughter or a mate. I was just a placeholder with the right blood, a tool to be used for a true heir and then discarded. So on the morning of my eighteenth birthday, I drank the poisoned tea my mother gave me, faked my collapse, and disappeared forever. But not before arranging for a special delivery to their son's party-a box containing every last one of their secrets.

Chapter 1

ELARA POV:

"He's using you, Elara."

Brenna's voice was low, a protective growl rumbling in her chest. She pushed a stray strand of fiery red hair from her face, her gray eyes sharp with a warrior's intensity.

We were sitting in The Daily Grind, a small coffee shop nestled on the border between our two territories. It was neutral ground, one of the few places that welcomed werewolves without making us feel like caged animals. The air smelled of roasted coffee beans and rain-soaked earth, a comforting mix.

"He's not," I said, my voice weaker than I wanted. I wrapped my hands around my warm mug. "You don't know him like I do."

"I know what I see," she insisted. "Five years ago, Seraphina accuses you of leaking pack secrets. An accusation that could have gotten you exiled, or worse. And what happens to her? A slap on the wrist and a fully-funded 'retreat' to some luxury estate to 'recover'."

I flinched. The memory was a dull ache, a bruise on my soul that never quite faded. "My parents... Alpha Kaelen... they said it was for the best. To protect the pack from scandal."

My parents. The Former Alpha and Luna of the Silver Moon Pack. Years ago, they'd found me, an orphan raised in the human world, ignorant of my own bloodline. They told me I was their long-lost daughter, the heir to the sacred White Wolf lineage. And Kaelen... he was my mate. The Alpha of our pack. The other half of my soul, destined for me by the Moon Goddess herself. The bond between us was supposed to be a sacred gift, one that would one day leave a silver tracery over my heart and a mark upon my hand.

I was supposed to be the luckiest wolf alive.

"It's my eighteenth birthday next week, Brenna," I changed the subject, a hopeful flutter in my chest. "The day of my first Shift."

A genuine smile touched her lips. "I know. I can't wait to see your wolf. She's going to be magnificent."

"I hope so." I leaned in closer, dropping my voice to a whisper. I didn't want any prying ears to overhear. Instead, I reached out through the special connection all pack members share. The Mind-Link. It was a silent, private line of thought, a gift from the Goddess.

*I told Kaelen I want to go to the Moonlight Amusement Park,* I sent to her, the words forming in her mind as if they were her own thoughts. *I kind of hinted it would be the perfect surprise.*

Brenna's mental voice was laced with skepticism. *And what did the great Alpha say?*

Before I could answer, another voice flooded my mind. It was deep, powerful, and wrapped in an authority that made my bones hum. Kaelen.

*Elara.*

My heart leaped. He was thinking of me.

*Kaelen! I was just talking about you.* A warmth spread through me, the simple effect of his presence in my mind.

His response was clipped, impatient. *I have an important pack meeting. Stay home. Don't cause any trouble.*

The words were simple, but underneath them was the crushing weight of the Alpha's Command. It wasn't a request. It was an order woven with magic, compelling obedience. My shoulders slumped instantly, the urge to please him, to be a good mate, washing over me.

*Oh. Okay,* I sent back, trying to hide my disappointment.

Brenna must have felt the shift in my mood. She reached across the table and squeezed my hand. "Don't let him do that. Go to him. Take him his favorite coffee. Surprise him at the Blackwood Enterprises tower and tell him what you want, face to face."

Her courage was contagious. She was right. I was his mate, his future Luna. My wishes mattered.

An hour later, I was walking through the gleaming lobby of the Blackwood Enterprises skyscraper, a cardboard tray with two coffees in my hand. The building was the human face of our pack, a multi-billion-dollar corporation that hid our true nature in plain sight.

Kaelen's human secretary, a mousy woman named Clara, gave me a polite but firm smile. "I'm sorry, Ms. Donovan. Alpha Blackwood is not in. He had an appointment at a private art gallery in the West District. A place called 'Rhes.'"

A knot of unease tightened in my stomach. A private gallery? That didn't sound like a pack meeting.

I drove to the address she gave me, my hands slick on the steering wheel. The gallery was a sleek, modern building with huge glass windows. I parked across the street, my heart pounding a frantic rhythm against my ribs.

And then I saw them.

Through the window, clear as day, stood my mate. My Alpha. Kaelen. He wasn't alone. Standing with him was Seraphina, her dark hair gleaming under the gallery lights. Between them, holding both their hands, was a little boy with Kaelen's dark hair and Seraphina's blue eyes. He couldn't have been more than five years old.

They looked like a family.

My breath hitched. My entire body went cold. It had to be a misunderstanding. It had to be.

Then, Kaelen leaned down. He cupped Seraphina's face in his hands, his expression full of a tenderness I hadn't seen in years. He kissed her. Not a simple peck. It was a deep, lingering kiss, the same way he had kissed me that very morning before leaving our bed.

A pain so sharp, so absolute, ripped through my soul. It felt like my very essence was being torn in two. The mate bond, the sacred connection between us, screamed in agony.

I stumbled out of the car, drawn by some morbid need to know. I crept closer to the window, hiding in the shadows of the doorway. Their voices drifted through the thick glass.

"-the whole park just for Leo's birthday?" Seraphina was saying, her voice dripping with satisfaction. "You're the best, Kaelen."

Leo's birthday. The amusement park.

"Anything for my son," Kaelen replied, ruffling the boy's hair. "He deserves it."

My blood turned to ice. Leo's birthday was the same day as mine.

Seraphina laughed, a cruel, tinkling sound. "What about your little stray? Won't she be disappointed?"

Kaelen's chuckle was the cruelest sound I had ever heard. "Elara? She's so grateful to have a family, she'll believe anything we tell her."

Just then, his voice slid into my mind, a casual, intimate intrusion. A Mind-Link from Kaelen.

*Meeting just ended. So tired. Thinking of you, my mate.*

The lie, so blatant and delivered with such casual cruelty, didn't break my heart. It shattered it into a million pieces, and in its place, something cold and hard began to form.

The game was over. And I was done being a pawn.

To the Dark Moon Pack, I wasn't just invisible; I was a stain. Dean Lee, the Alpha designed for my soul, treated me like a shameful secret while he paraded his mistress, Karina, in red silk. The night of the Charity Auction, Dean bought my late mother's moonstone pendant—the only thing I had left of her—for a hundred thousand dollars. I begged him for it. Instead, he clasped it around Karina's ankle. With a cruel laugh, Karina stomped her stiletto heel, crushing the moonstone into dust. Dean just watched, his eyes cold and unfeeling. "It was just a cheap rock," he said. "I'll buy you diamonds." But the cruelty didn't stop at emotional torture. When rogues attacked, Dean used me as live bait to distract them from Karina. He threw me into the Blood Pit, a gladiator arena, to fight a massive Feral wolf while he sat in the VIP box with Karina on his lap. "She won't last three minutes," I heard him say through our dying bond. He watched with bored detachment as I was ripped apart, refusing to save me even as I screamed his name. He saved the mistress and drowned the mate. I died on that arena floor. Or so he thought. Years later, the mysterious and world-renowned artist "H.Y." returned to New York for a gallery opening. When Dean saw me on stage, he rushed forward, tears streaming down his face, trying to claim the wife he had mourned. "Hayley," he choked out, reaching for me. "You're alive. You're mine." I didn't cry. I didn't run. I unleashed a shockwave of ancient White Wolf energy that blasted him across the room, shattering the glass displays. "I don't take orders from dogs anymore," I said, looking down at him. "I, Hayley York, hereby reject you."

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 fiancée. 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.

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.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."
