It was the night of my first solo art exhibition, but my Alpha mate, Cameron, was nowhere to be seen. The air was thick with champagne and praise, but every compliment felt like a slap, calling me "the Alpha's mate," not an artist. Then I saw him on the news feed. He was shielding another woman, an Alpha Female, from camera flashes. The whispers in the room confirmed it: their packs were merging, sealed by a new mating. This wasn't just him being late; it was a public execution of our bond. His voice cut into my mind, cold and detached. "Kacie needs me. You're an Omega, handle this." Not an apology, just an order. That was the moment the last thread of hope I'd clung to for four years finally snapped. He hadn't just forgotten me; he had systematically erased me, even taking credit for the billion-dollar app born from my secret visions, dismissing my art as a mere "hobby." But the quiet, submissive part of me died that night. I walked into a back office and sent a message to my lawyer. I told her to draft a Rejection Ritual document, disguised as an Intellectual Property transfer for my "worthless" art. He would never read the fine print. With the same arrogance he used to shatter my soul, he was about to sign his own away.

Chapter 1

ARYANA POV:

The air in the gallery was thick. It smelled of expensive champagne, human perfume, and the faint, clean scent of oil paint drying on canvas. But the one scent my soul craved was missing.

Pine and the electric charge of a coming storm.

Cameron.

My Alpha. My mate.

He was supposed to be here. This was my night, my first solo exhibition. The culmination of years spent hunched over canvases in the sterile, lonely penthouse he called our home.

A tremor of unease went through me. I smoothed down the simple silk dress I wore, a deep midnight blue. It was elegant, but it felt like a costume. Everything about this life felt like a costume.

Someone clinked a glass nearby. "A toast to the Alpha's mate! Such a talented little Omega."

The words were meant as a compliment, but they landed like a slap. *The Alpha's mate.* Not Aryana Mason, the artist. Just an extension of him. An accessory.

Through the Mind-Link, the shared mental space of our pack, I could feel the thoughts of the other Blackstone wolves in the room. Some were pitying. *Poor thing, he stood her up.* Others were laced with a cruel satisfaction. *She always was too quiet for an Alpha like him.*

The Mind-Link was a gift from the Moon Goddess, meant to bind a pack together, to create a family. But tonight, it felt like a cage of whispers, each one a sharp jab against my heart.

I forced a smile for a human collector admiring my largest piece, a swirling vortex of silver and shadow that represented the birth of an idea. His idea.

My gaze drifted to the large screen at the end of the gallery, which was supposed to be showing a loop of my digital sketches. Instead, it was tuned to a live news feed.

And there he was.

Cameron Oneill. My Cameron.

He was standing on the steps of City Hall, his broad shoulders a fortress in a perfectly tailored suit. His powerful body was angled protectively, shielding another woman from the barrage of camera flashes.

Kacie Chavez. the Alpha Female of the Redmoon Pack.

Her scent, even through the screen, was sharp and aggressive-wild ginger and desert sun. She was a predator, an equal. Not a quiet Omega who smelled of lilac and rain.

The whispers in the gallery grew louder, no longer confined to the Mind-Link.

"...a merger between Blackstone and Redmoon..."

"...the alliance will be sealed by a mating..."

"...a true power couple. An Alpha and an Alpha Female..."

The room tilted. The champagne in my stomach turned to acid. This wasn't just him being late. This was a public execution. My execution.

Then, his voice cut through the noise, directly into my head. A cold, detached command through our private link.

*Kacie needs me. You're an Omega, handle this little scene. Congratulations.*

The words were clipped, impatient. Not a hint of apology. Not a flicker of warmth. It was an order from an Alpha to a subordinate.

That was it. The final thread of hope I'd been clinging to for four years snapped. The sacred bond between us, the one the Moon Goddess had woven, felt suddenly icy and brittle, like a frozen vine about to shatter.

"Are you alright, Aryana?"

A solid presence was suddenly at my side. Brenton Lloyd, the gallery owner. His Beta scent, warm earth and old books, was a comforting shield, blocking out the prying eyes and thoughts.

His voice was low, for my ears only, but his rage was a silent scream in the Mind-Link. *That fool Alpha! He's just like the last one who broke my sister's heart. He will regret this day until his last breath!*

I took a shaky breath, my eyes locking onto the painting on the wall. It was one of my early sketches for the "Aether" project-the revolutionary app that had made Oneill Tech billions. The inspiration had come to me in a vision, a gift of my hidden bloodline, a torrent of images and code that I had frantically painted onto canvas.

Cameron had called it my "hobby." He knew exactly what it was, the magic thrumming beneath the paint. But acknowledging it would have meant acknowledging my power. So he belittled it. And me.

He hadn't just forgotten me. He had systematically erased me. He had taken the most sacred part of my soul, the magic of my White Wolf heritage, and branded it with his own name.

The quiet part of me, the part that had learned to survive by being small and silent, finally died. In its place, a cold, hard resolve clicked into place, sharp as a shard of glass.

I would not break. I would not crumble.

I would fight back.

Excusing myself, I walked on steady legs to the back office. My hands didn't even shake as I pulled out my phone. I scrolled to the contact for Sarah, my lawyer, another soul sheltered by the neutral Moonglade Council.

My message was simple, transmitted through a secure, encrypted channel.

"Sarah," I typed. "I need you to draw up a document for a Rejection Ritual. Disguise it as an Intellectual Property transfer agreement for all my 'Aether' concept art. He'll never read the fine print. He thinks an Omega's 'hobby' is worthless."

I hit send. The decision settled in my bones, not with pain, but with the terrifying calm of a coming storm. He was about to sign away his soul, and he would do it with the same casual arrogance with which he had just shattered mine.

My world reset every Sunday, leaving me a blank slate for my loving fiancé, Ethan, and my best friend, Maria, to carefully guide. Every week, Ethan would patiently show me home videos of our happy life, our engagement, and explain my amnesia, reassuring me of his devotion after my rock-climbing accident. But a crude tattoo mysteriously appearing on my ankle, spelling "HE'S LYING," hinted at a truth my conscious mind couldn' t hold. Then I found a hidden note: "THE PILLS ARE SLEEPING DRAFTS. DON' T TAKE THEM." My heart sank as I realized the "vitamins" Maria gave me nightly were keeping me trapped in this cycle. I started pretending to take them, creeping out of bed one night to hear Ethan and Maria laughing, discussing how they were siphoning millions from my family, and planning their Bali escape. That agonizing discovery was nothing compared to seeing them passionately kissing on the couch, my fiancé and my best friend. A wave of pure, white-hot rage, unlike anything I'd ever felt, consumed me. When I confronted them, Maria shoved me, sending my head crashing against the coffee table. I woke up in a hospital, staring at Ethan, and then it hit me: the floodgates opened. Two years of forgotten betrayals, 104 cycles of lies, every single horrifying detail slammed back into my mind. He hovered over me, thumb drive in hand, ready to reset me again. "No," I whispered, forcing my voice to tremble. "Should I know who you are?" Relief washed over his face. He thought I was broken again, unsuspecting. But this time, I remembered everything. And he had no idea the game had just irrevocably changed.

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.

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.
