My fated mate, Richard, and I were preparing for our sacred Mating Ceremony, a vow before the Moon Goddess meant to bind our souls for eternity. But a psychic message slammed into my mind-a weaponized memory sent by his adopted sister, Eva. In it, she was wrapped in Richard's arms while his parents, the Alpha and Luna, beamed with approval. For the next two weeks, I was forced to play the part of the adoring Omega bride. He would lie about "pack emergencies" to run to her, leaving me alone in a gown shop while she sent me visions of their trysts. His parents stripped me of the project I had poured my soul into for two years, handing it to Eva as a gift. They called me a weak-blooded Omega, unworthy of their son. Meanwhile, Eva sent me an audio clip of Richard promising her she would be the one to carry his strong heir, not me. They all thought I was a pathetic, disposable pawn in their twisted game. They were waiting for me to break. They had no idea I was secretly the heir to the most powerful pack on the continent. And I had already arranged for our Mating Ceremony to be broadcast globally, turning their sacred day into the stage for their ultimate humiliation.

Chapter 1

Isabella Brooks POV:

The image slammed into my mind without warning, a violation of the sacred space of our Mind-Link. It was a psychic message, a weaponized memory sent by Eva.

In it, my fated mate, my fiancé Richard, was laughing. His head was thrown back, his strong throat exposed, and his hand was tangled in Eva's blonde hair. She was pressed against him, her scent-a cheap mix of synthetic florals-clinging to his skin like a disease. Surrounding them were his parents, the Alpha and Luna of the Black Creek Pack, beaming with approval. His friends were there too, raising their glasses in a toast.

They were a perfect family. And I was the outsider.

My inner wolf, a beast I had suppressed for five long years, howled in my mind, a raw, guttural sound of pure agony. The bond the Moon Goddess had woven between Richard and me frayed at the edges, a searing pain that felt like my soul was being torn.

But I didn't let the pain show. I took a slow, steady breath, pushing the anguish down into a cold, hard knot in my stomach.

I closed my eyes and reached out through the Mind-Link, not to Richard, but to a connection I had kept hidden for years.

"Father."

The response was immediate, a voice as cold and sharp as a winter wind. "Isabella. What is it?"

"I need a favor," I sent back, my mental voice calm and even. "My mating ceremony is in two weeks. I want it broadcast. Globally. Every pack, every werewolf with a screen, needs to see it."

There was a long pause. I could feel his immense power, the authority of the Alpha of the Shadowfen Pack, weighing my request.

"It will be done," he finally replied. "But there is a condition. After the ceremony, you come home. You will stop this foolish game of playing an Omega and take your place as my heir."

"I accept," I said without hesitation.

"Good."

The connection severed.

Two hours later, Richard knelt before me in the pack's grand hall. He held a small velvet box, and inside, a moonstone ring glowed with a soft, ethereal light. This stone was a sacred symbol, meant to represent the purity and strength of a mate bond before the final Marking ceremony.

"Isabella Brooks," he said, his voice thick with an emotion I now knew was a lie. "You are my destiny, my other half. The Moon Goddess blessed me with you. Will you accept my Mark? Will you be my Luna?"

My wolf clawed at the inside of my mind, screaming "Traitor! Liar!"

I forced a smile, letting a single, perfectly timed tear roll down my cheek. "Yes, Richard," I whispered, my voice trembling with manufactured joy. "Yes, of course, I will."

He slid the ring onto my finger, and the crowd of Black Creek members erupted in applause. He stood, pulling me into his arms, his scent of pine and earth now tainted by Eva's cloying perfume. He was the perfect Alpha, the loving mate, and I was the perfect, adoring Omega.

It was all a beautiful, perfect lie.

For the next week, he played his part flawlessly, planning the ceremony with a passion that would have once made my heart ache with love. I watched him, a spectator to my own life.

Eva's taunts continued, little psychic daggers sent through the Mind-Link. A flash of them kissing. A whisper of a promise he made to her. She wanted me to break before the big day. She had no idea who she was dealing with.

The day we were meant to choose my ceremonial gown, Richard's attention was elsewhere. I saw the distant look in his eyes, the slight smile playing on his lips. He was in a private Mind-Link. With her.

"Isabella? Does this one please you?" he asked, gesturing vaguely at a dress.

"I want you now, Richie," Eva's voice echoed in his mind, sloppy and loud enough that the edges of it leaked into my own link with him.

He flinched. "I have to go," he said suddenly, his phone already to his ear. "Pack emergency. Beta needs me."

He kissed my forehead and was gone.

A moment later, a new message arrived in my mind. It was from Eva. A short, vivid clip of Richard storming into her room, his face flushed with desire. His lie, exposed in an instant.

My heart didn't break. It turned to ice. I calmly picked up my phone and sent a text to a number I hadn't used in five years.

The reply was instant. "Walter. At your command."

I typed my response, my fingers steady. "The plan is a go. It's time to begin."

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.

For ten years, I lived for Dante Moretti. I waited for my eighteenth birthday, knowing that the Alpha of the Dark Nebula was my fated mate. But when the day finally came, he didn't claim me. He brought Isabella home instead. A warrior. A political asset. "Welcome home, my future Luna," he announced to the pack, shattering my heart in front of everyone. I was just the orphan girl who couldn't Shift. A liability. To ensure I knew my place, Isabella offered me a "gift." A collar made of pure silver. To a human, it is jewelry. To a wolf, it is acid. When she locked it around my neck, the metal sizzled. The smell of my own burning flesh filled the room. I fell to my knees, screaming, looking at Dante with tears in my eyes. I begged him to stop her. But he just looked at me, his face a mask of cold logic. "Wear it," he commanded, ignoring the smoke rising from my skin. "Consider it discipline. If you take it off, you leave the Pack." He thought he was protecting me. He thought making me look weak would save me from his enemies. He didn't realize he was killing the girl who loved him. That night, I didn't just take off the collar. I closed my eyes, found the golden thread of our Mate Bond in my mind, and snapped it in half. Dante collapsed in the hallway, clutching his chest in agony as he felt our connection die. "What did you do?" he whispered into the void. "I set you free, Alpha," I said. Then I ran into the storm. He thought I was a defenseless human. He didn't know I was the lost daughter of the Royal White Wolf bloodline. And when I returned, I wouldn't be kneeling.

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him—my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit—watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London—an exile disguised as a severance package—I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.
