I stayed with Ethan Hudson for seven years. He grew bored of me. He found a younger werewolf girl in the clan. I didn't plead for him to stay this time. I discarded the mate-bond stone, burned the protection bracelet I crafted, and left the clan that night. His friends ridiculed me, wagering how soon I'd beg for reconciliation. Ethan, arm around his new girl, laughed and said, "Three days tops. She'll come back crying." Three days passed, then another three, and I never returned. Ethan couldn't wait any longer and contacted me first. "Sylvie, enough with the tantrum..." Victor Wilson, his rival, cut in on the phone. "Ethan, you've got to move fast to win someone back. Too late, and a good girl's gone." Ethan's howl nearly broke the receiver. "Get Sylvie on the phone!" Victor kissed me softly and said, "She can't. She's worn out from last night and just fell asleep."

Chapter 1

I stayed with Ethan Hudson for seven years. He grew bored of me.

He found a younger werewolf girl in the clan.

I didn't plead for him to stay this time.

I discarded the mate-bond stone, burned the protection bracelet I crafted, and left the clan that night.

His friends ridiculed me, wagering how soon I'd beg for reconciliation.

Ethan, arm around his new girl, laughed and said, "Three days tops. She'll come back crying."

Three days passed, then another three, and I never returned.

Ethan couldn't wait any longer and contacted me first. "Sylvie, enough with the tantrum..."

Victor Wilson, his rival, cut in on the phone. "Ethan, you've got to move fast to win her back. Too late, and a good girl's gone."

Ethan's howl nearly broke the receiver. "Get Sylvie on the phone!"

Victor kissed me softly and said, "She can't. She's worn out from last night and just fell asleep."

Our seventh anniversary with Ethan came.

I held a newly made protection bracelet, ready to propose.

Bad timing struck. A key clan meeting happened, and I arrived late.

At the clan hall's entrance, laughter echoed.

"Sylvie? Dull," Ethan's voice said casually. "Not like the new girl I'm into."

A werewolf chuckled. "Seven years? That'd get stale."

Ethan sipped his whiskey. "Holding her hand feels like my left touching my right."

The room's werewolves roared with laughter. "Seven years, man. Sylvie's lasted long with you."

"But she's stunning, though. Few in the clan match her."

"Her figure's killer. That red dress at the last gathering? Every male wolf stared."

"She's a fierce hunter too. Last contest, she shot a boar's head clean through. So badass. I love a female wolf like that."

Ethan stayed silent at their teasing.

Someone asked, "Alpha, you chased Sylvie so hard back then. Really letting her go?"

"What's to keep?" Ethan's tone chilled. "Anyone's boring after seven years."

"Yeah," another added. "Same meat daily for seven years? You'd hate it."

"Alpha, if you and Sylvie split, can I try for her?"

"Go ahead," Ethan replied, sipping again, unconcerned. "Anyone who wants her can."

He didn't look up.

"Come on," someone mocked. "With all the young female werewolves, why go for one that's been played out?"

Laughter shook the hall.

I gripped the bracelet in my pocket, the moonlight stone biting my palm.

I texted Ethan. "Something came up. Going home."

As I turned, my skirt swept leaves on the steps, rustling softly.

Back at the empty house, I tossed the bracelet into the bottom of a drawer.

That night, moonlight slipped through the curtain gaps, and I stared at the ceiling until dawn.

That was the night I decided to leave.

Within days, word spread through the clan.

Ethan was chasing a newly matured werewolf girl, young and innocent, never in love.

He pursued her boldly, just like he had with me years ago, making sure the whole clan, the entire settlement knew.

He gave her a house at the highest point in the clan's forest, where the full moon's silver glow shone brightest.

The car he gifted her had the clan's crest on the door, the exact model he once promised me.

Even the rare wolfsbane flowers, hardest to pick, arrived daily in bundles.

The girl, unused to such pursuit, blushed and agreed to be his within days.

At a clan friend's gathering, Ethan brought her along.

The moment they walked in, the room fell silent.

A few female werewolves I was close to looked at me with worry, wanting to approach but staying still.

I tugged at my skirt and smiled. "What's wrong? Why's everyone staring at me?"

Ethan, with his arm around the girl's waist, sat on the couch and finally looked my way. "Sylvie, since we're here, I'll make things clear."

"Go ahead," I said. I picked up a glass of wine, my fingers tracing circles on its rim. I felt a mix of panic, heartbreak, and strange relief, like a weight settling.

"We've been together seven years. I'm tired of it. The spark's gone." He spoke bluntly, without hesitation. "It's just not fun anymore."

My nails dug into my palm, but I felt no pain.

My heart seemed numb, and my body followed.

"Lily's young, just matured, sweet and innocent. I really like her, and I don't want her to feel out of place in the clan." Ethan smiled and touched the girl's cheek. "I want to give her a proper mate status in the clan."

I took a sip of wine, its bitterness filling my mouth.

But I still smiled and said, "Sounds good." Ethan spoke, "We can still be friends. If you need anything in the clan, I'll help."

"No need," I said, setting down my glass and standing. "Let's keep things clean. No need to make Lily uncomfortable."

Ethan paused, staring at me.

After a few seconds, he said, "That's for the best."

"You all carry on. I'm heading out."

"Want my driver to take you?"

"No, I drove myself."

As I left the room, I heard a werewolf ask, "How long do you think Sylvie will hold out this time?"

"Two or three days?"

"I bet a week. She seems really upset this time."

Ethan glanced at the red hem of my skirt in the doorway and laughed wildly. "Just watch. In three days, she'll be crying and begging me to take her back."

"Yeah, after all these years, this drama's getting old."

"Haha, Alpha, you know Sylvie's so love-struck she can't let you go. That's why you treat her like this."

Their words stabbed my ears like needles, each one dripping with mockery.

I forced a bitter smile and hurried away from the place that humiliated me in front of my clan.

When I returned to the house Ethan and I shared, night had fallen.

I walked into the bedroom and dug out the protection bracelet from the drawer's depths.

The wolf fur woven into it came from Ethan's transformations, collected secretly by me. The moonlight stones were polished by my own hands.

Every detail was meticulous, perfect.

Traditionally, male werewolves made these, but Ethan never planned to.

I should have known then not to expect it.

I stared at it for a moment, then grabbed scissors and snipped it apart.

The bracelet fell to the floor, like a severed tail.

I gathered the pieces and tossed them into the living room fireplace.

Before leaving, I removed the mate-bond stone from my neck and placed it on the bedside table.

When packing, I took only what I'd bought myself.

I left everything Ethan gave me behind.

I thought it over and left a note with the keys on the entryway table.

The house and everything in it were his to do with as he pleased. He didn't need to ask me.

I drove away from the clan.

I was still bleeding into the mesh underwear the hospital gave me when the photos hit the internet: my husband, the Don, forcing his tongue down his mistress's throat. Three days ago, that very mistress had shoved me off a yacht. I lost the baby. I lost my uterus. I was left completely barren. Yet, when my husband finally called, it wasn't to ask if I was alive. "The press is eating us alive," Dante barked through the phone. "Send a gift basket to Sofia. Fix this mess." To make matters worse, his grandmother stood at the foot of my bed, holding the hand of the daughter they had stolen from me at birth. "Mommy looks like a ghost," my daughter said, her voice devoid of love. That was the moment the last ember of affection died. I realized I wasn't a wife to them; I was just a broken vessel. So, when they sneered that I was useless, I didn't cry. I pulled a black USB drive from under my pillow and threw it on the bed. "Divorce papers," I said calmly. "And the complete security blueprints of the Moretti Fortress. Every blind spot. Every tunnel I designed." "Sign the papers and let me go, or I sell this drive to your enemies for one dollar." I left the country with nothing but the clothes on my back, vanishing into a freezing attic in Paris. I thought I was finally free. But three weeks later, Dante kicked down my door, looking at my poverty with horror. "Come home," he begged, tossing a box of diamonds onto my drafting table. "We can be a family." I looked at the man who had destroyed me and opened the window. "You're looking for the girl who loved you," I whispered, throwing the diamonds into the trash alley below. "But you killed her."

The heavy steel door of the industrial meat locker slammed shut, sealing me in at four degrees below zero. Ten minutes ago, I was the woman Dante Moretti promised to burn the world for. Now, I was the rat accused of poisoning his heir. Dante didn’t just lock me in. He looked at me with eyes devoid of warmth and said, "Evidence says otherwise." He chose the lie of his arranged wife, Sofia, over my truth. For months, I endured the price of loving the Underboss. I watched him marry Sofia in a grand ceremony to secure a family alliance. I let him force me onto a table to drain my blood to save her life when she was injured. I took twenty lashes from his family’s enforcers, all while he stood by and watched, claiming it was necessary to "protect" me. He told me to wait. He told me the marriage was a sham. But when I finally escaped and he came chasing after me, revealing that Sofia was a fraud and he wanted me back, I didn't feel relief. I felt nothing. Even after he threw his body over mine to save me from a collapsing building, taking a jagged shard of timber through his chest, I couldn't forgive him. In the hospital, his mother handed me his journal. It was filled with entries about his undying love for me, written on the very same days he allowed me to be tortured. "Tell him the debt is paid," I told his mother as I handed the book back. "He saved my life. I saved his child. We are even." I turned my back on the ICU and walked out into the rain. Dante Moretti might have been willing to die for me, but he never knew how to live for me.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.
