THE LUNA'S CAMP: CROWN OF THE FORGOTTEN MATE Chapter 1 BORN INTO BETRAYAL

Celestia's voice.

"Push Luna! push!!" The midwife's voice vibrated into a guttural growl.

Thickened sweat rolled down my forehead, my insides stretched with a hurt that rivaled my first shift.

My jaw tightened so hard and the fluorescent lights above me flickered.

"This isn't working, we'll need to perform a C-section," I heard the doctor say through a blur of pain.

"But the Alpha isn't here yet, we can't do anything unless he signs off on it,"

"He still isn't here yet!"

I swallowed.

Raphael wasn't here yet...what..what could be more important than this? Then the birth of our first child?

He wouldn't... no...no...I'm sure that woman has her limits, she wouldn't keep him away.

With my draining strength, I contacted him through mindlink, mates could contact each other through any distance with mine link.

"Raphael, where are you? Our pup..."

"Medea is also in labor, she needs me right now."

I sucked in a deep breath.

"But I'm your mate, this is our baby I'm talking about."

"My parents will be there for you but Medea is an orphan with no one, she needs me more than ever. I can't leave her now."

Tears welled in my eyes, I knew nothing I said would make him choose me over his first love.

Another wave of contractions hit me.

I screamed, and the doctor yelled out a skewed push.

I inhaled deeply, every inch of me trembling.

This wasn't the time to exchange words.

"Raphael, the doctors say I need a C-section-"

"No," He whipped back before I could finish, "You will not humiliate me by getting a C-section. All Alpha children are born through natural birth that's how it has always been, you're not the exception,"

My tears pooled up.

"I'm in so much pain...Raph..please..."

"My mother did it, so did my Grandma. I will allow you to spit on the Ashen Alpha family name. Give birth the normal way or else I won't acknowledge that pup as my own,"

After that he cut off the connection, blocking me from his mind while my body was wrecked with contractions

Through heavy breath, I told the doctors that we should continue with the route of natural birth.

"I want to have my pup the right way," I said, fighting back tears.

With doubt clouding his eyes and that of the nurses aiding her the doctor reluctantly agreed.

Three more hours of screams, sweat, and blood as I drifted between life and death were broken by the wet cry of my pup.

His cry bounced off the walls of the delivery room, and my heart swelled with pride. That was a strong sign of a healthy powerful pup.

"May the moon goddess light remain on you," the doctor said to me.

Soon my baby was placed in my arms.

He had been sniffling before but he calmed after he was placed on my chest.

My whole body felt like jelly, but I was drenched with joy seeing my pup.

"What will you name him?" A young nurse asked curiously as he peeked to look at the pup, the Doc chastised him.

"Mind yourself, she is still the Luna,"

"It's alright," I said understandingly, my eyes still on my precious little bundle of joy.

"His name will be Asher-"

"I think Jaxon packs a punch to it,"

My whole body stiffened as I looked up and met the eyes of Eclipse, Medea's younger sister.

She had once been my personal maid, a long time ago.

"How dare you barge in here?" The doctor snapped at her, Eclipse just rolled her eyes, shoved the doctor as if she were no more than a straw man then matched over to me.

I wrapped Asher protectively and she sneered.

"What you're not even going to let me get a good look at my nephew?"

My entire face bleached.

"What nephew?!" I blurted back in her face. "Get your eyes checked, this is my son,"

"But he has blonde hair, just like my sister."

I can't believe I'm even having this insane argument.

"So what? Get out of here! Guards drag this wench out of my sight!" I screamed ignoring the strain running through my body.

"A pup thief calling me a wench, what an irony, I came here because of our past to lend you a hand after you dug yourself into a pit ..."

"Guards!"

The guards finally came.

But not for Eclipse.

They pulled me from the hospital bed despite the protests of the doctor.

My pup was torn from my arms and placed into the hands of a traitor, my eyes bulged with rage and panic mixed.

If I weren't weakened by twelve hours of labor I could take these two guards without sweating.

My pup broke into a cry as soon as he was taken from my arms and the volume spiked up when Eclipse held him.

"Eclipse," I warned, "Return my pup...and I'll spare your life,"

She laughed, the sound an aggravating chuckle.

"I'm shaking in my boots," she waved to the guards, "Take her away,"

"Let me go! That's MY pup!"

But hours of labor ending with insane bleeding had drained me, my outburst didn't help.

Gradually my surroundings were being swallowed by a shadow starting from the corners of my vision.

Frantically I reached out to Raphael through a mind link.

"Raphael...our pup, Medea...please...please respond...the guards-"

"Don't bother." He cut me off. "I'm so ashamed of you, Celestia. I asked you for only one thing when we became mates-don't humiliate me or the Ashen name. Was that too hard to grasp?"

"Raphael...I don't...."

"Don't play dumb, I knew you hated Medea but I couldn't dream you would have gone so far. Don't worry, you'll get what you deserve for everything, and promise you that you'll never place your eyes on that you'll never see that pup again,"

My heart sank.

"No! Raphael, I don't know what they've told you but...the pup is mine I-"

He might have responded.

But I lost consciousness before I could hear it.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

Woke Up Married To A Secret Zillionaire

Woke Up Married To A Secret Zillionaire

I went to the New York City Clerk's office to handle a simple administrative matter, but the woman behind the glass handed me a nightmare instead. It was a certified marriage license from Clark County, Nevada, filed exactly three months ago. My vision blurred as I read the name in the spouse field: Baxter Noel. I was legally married to the ruthless billionaire whose legal team was currently suing me for intellectual property theft and trying to destroy my career. I remembered the conference in Las Vegas and a drink that tasted far too sweet, followed by a twelve-hour black hole in my memory that I had chalked up to exhaustion. When I sought help at my family's estate, my stepmother and sister didn't offer comfort; they stole my passport, shredded my clothes, and framed me for academic plagiarism to strip away my university fellowship. Even Baxter himself looked me in the eye with cold indifference, claiming he didn't know me and promising to have me arrested for fraud if I ever showed him that document again. Within twenty-four hours, I was homeless, jobless, and being hunted by the most powerful man in the city. I couldn't understand why a man who "eats people for breakfast" would be caught in the same trap as a struggling scientist like me. The confusion turned to pure terror when I looked at the witness signature on the license: Gene Mcclain. My mother, who was supposed to have died in a car crash ten years ago, had signed that paper with a fresh, trembling hand only ninety days ago. "I am holding a grenade, and I have no idea when the pin was pulled." Standing in the biting November wind with nothing but a laptop and a marriage license, I realized I was just a pawn in a much deadlier game. I stopped running and began to fight back, determined to use my unwanted status as the billionaire's wife to uncover the truth about the mother who came back from the dead.

Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

Xiao Hong Mao
4.3

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.
