My husband, Cameron, cheated on me with his intern, Cara. After months of begging, I gave my childhood sweetheart a second chance, but the trust was gone. One night, after a fight, he stormed out. I watched on a hidden dashcam as he drove straight to her apartment, the sounds of their passion echoing through the car's speakers, a soundtrack to my despair. The next day, I found them kissing in our foyer. In a blind rage, I attacked Cara. Cameron shoved me to protect her, and my head slammed against the wall, splitting open. As blood streamed down my face, he cradled Cara, murmuring, "Are you okay?" At the hospital, his mother arrived, horrified. "She's pregnant with another man's child, and she's trying to trap you!" she screamed at Cameron. But he only had eyes for his mistress. He pushed past me, sending me sprawling to the floor, and rushed to Cara's side after she faked a medical emergency. He didn't even look back. Later, he returned, his eyes cold. "I can't let Cara go," he said. "You'll still be my wife. My queen. Just... allow me this one small indulgence." The audacity was breathtaking. He wanted me, his wife, to accept his mistress. But his arrogance didn't stop there. When Cara went missing, he accused me of harming her. He dragged me from my hospital bed, held a knife to my arm, and sliced my skin. "Tell me where she is," he hissed, his face twisted with madness, "or I'll make you."

Chapter 1

Audrey POV:

The sweet taste of betrayal was a lingering aftertaste, even now, months later, as my husband's lips found mine with a tenderness that felt like a lie. His breath on my skin, his familiar scent, it all screamed comfort, but my heart only whispered caution.

"Audrey, my love," Cameron murmured against my neck, his voice a soft rumble.

It was the same voice he used to soothe me after a long day, the same one that promised forever under a sky full of stars. Now, it only grated on my nerves, a false melody in a broken song.

He kissed my forehead, then my eyelids, a slow, almost reverent trail that ended at my lips. His touch was so careful, so full of devotion. It should have melted the ice around my heart. Instead, it built a wall.

I closed my eyes, but it didn' t help. The image still burned behind my eyelids.

The memory, sharp and unwelcome, sliced through the fragile peace we pretended to have. An echo of a night, not so long ago, when his lips were on another woman' s.

It wasn't a dream, and it wasn't a nightmare. It was a waking horror. I'd walked into his studio, a place I considered sacred, a sanctuary of his art and our shared dreams.

But it was no sanctuary that night. It was a stage for a betrayal.

His intern, Cara Suarez, was there too. His ambitious, bright-eyed intern, who I' d thought was just a budding artist he was mentoring.

They were in the corner, among the canvases and paint-splattered easels. The air was thick with the scent of turpentine and something else, something cloying and sickly sweet.

He had her pressed against a half-finished sculpture, his hands tangled in her unnaturally bright blonde hair. His jaw was tight, his eyes glazed with an intensity I hadn't seen directed at me in years.

Cara, all lean limbs and feigned innocence, was gazing up at him. Her white blouse was rumpled, a stark contrast to her dark skirt that was hiked up just enough to hint at secrets. Her lips, painted a vivid cherry red, were swollen from his kisses.

Cameron was devouring her. His body, usually so guarded, was loose, abandoned. He was lost in her, utterly consumed.

And the door to the studio? It swung slightly ajar, a careless testament to their recklessness, their utter disregard for anyone else.

She was young, barely out of college, with eyes that held a calculating sparkle beneath a veneer of vulnerability. She clung to him like a vine, wrapping around him, pulling him deeper into her web.

His usual quiet demeanor was gone, replaced by a raw, primal hunger. He moved against her, a low growl rumbling in his chest. I remembered thinking, He never makes those sounds with me anymore.

Then, her voice, a breathy whisper that still scraped at my soul. "Cameron, my love."

And his reply, "Mine. You're all mine."

He said it while his hands roamed her back, pulling her impossibly closer. It was a possessive declaration, a claim that echoed the words he once used for me.

The sheer audacity of it, the thrill they both seemed to derive from the forbidden. It was all there, laid bare in front of me.

They were so wrapped up in each other, so completely engrossed, they didn't even notice the doorway where I stood. I was just a shadow, a forgotten presence in a scene that was meant for two, but shattered three lives.

My voice, when it came, was a choked gasp. "Cameron!"

He froze, his head snapping up, eyes wide with terror as he finally saw me. Cara, startled, stumbled back, trying to smooth her skirt, her face a mask of feigned shock.

But I wasn't looking at Cara anymore. My gaze was fixed on Cameron. His face, flushed with lust just moments before, now morphed into a grotesque parody of the man I loved. The man I thought I knew.

This isn't him. But it was. Two faces, one man. The loving husband and the cheating stranger, superimposed, blurring into an image of pure disgust.

A wave of nausea hit me, cold and relentless. My stomach churned, bile rising in my throat. I couldn't breathe.

I shoved him, hard, the force of my anger surprising even myself. He stumbled, catching himself on an easel.

I ran, not to escape, but to purge. I barely made it to the bathroom, collapsing over the toilet, emptying the contents of my stomach, as if I could somehow expel the poison I had just witnessed.

Cameron was there, his voice soft, laced with a fear that sounded almost genuine. "Audrey? Are you okay?"

He tried to touch my shoulder, a weak attempt at comfort.

I flinched, recoiling as if his touch burned. "Don't," I choked out, a raw, guttural sound. "Don't you dare touch me."

His face stiffened, the concern draining away, replaced by a flicker of annoyance. He almost bristled, but then, he visibly reined himself in. The mask of a contrite husband settled back on his face.

He moved to the sink, pouring a glass of water, the clinking of the glass against the ceramic basin the only sound in the suffocating silence. He offered it to me, his eyes carefully neutral.

He had come back home, three months ago, after begging, after promises, after I, inexplicably, agreed to give him a second chance. Three months of this fragile truce, this cold war disguised as a marriage.

We hadn't really moved past it. We simply drifted, two distant stars orbiting a dying sun.

I rinsed my mouth, the taste of vomit and betrayal still clinging to my tongue. I looked at him in the mirror. His eyes, usually so expressive, held a weariness, a careful neutrality that spoke volumes. He was exhausted by this pretense, too.

A beast roared inside me, trapped and furious. It clawed at my throat, demanding release. But I couldn't let it out. Not yet.

I forced a smile, a brittle, mechanical thing that didn' t reach my eyes. "So, Cameron," I said, my voice flat, calm. Too calm. "Are you happy now?"

His pale face instantly flushed, then drained of all color. The careful control he'd maintained shattered. His eyes, usually so gentle, narrowed, filled with a sudden, furious rage.

He kicked the bedside table, a hollow thud echoing in the room. A lamp wobbled, then crashed to the floor, scattering shards of glass across the Persian rug. Books tumbled, a vase overturned, water spreading dark stains.

His gaze, when it met mine, was a mixture of exhaustion and pure fury. "Happy?" he spat, the word dripping with venom. "Happy? Is that what you think this is, Audrey? You think I'm happy?"

He ran a hand through his hair, pacing the small space in front of me like a caged animal. "You hound me, you question me, you accuse me every single day! What do you want from me?"

He stopped, turning to face me completely, his shoulders slumped, his voice dropping to a desperate plea. "Don't you think I regret it? Don't you think I wish I could go back? I'm miserable, Audrey. I'm utterly, completely miserable."

His despair was palpable, a raw wound. But was it for me? Or for himself?

"You're the one who keeps tearing at the wound, Audrey!" he yelled, his voice cracking. "You're the one who won't let us move on! Just tell me what you want me to do to make this right!" His eyes pleaded, but his body language screamed frustration. "Just tell me!"

His words hung in the air, thick with accusation, a desperate attempt to shift the blame. But I knew better. I always did. The bitter truth was, he wasn't miserable because of what he did, but because he got caught. He was trapped, and he blamed me for it. And I finally saw it, clear as day.

"I want you to tell me the truth, Cameron," I said, my voice barely a whisper, but it cut through the air like a knife. "Are you still seeing her?" My gaze locked onto his, demanding an answer he couldn't evade.

His eyes widened, then quickly darted away, a tell-tale sign that shattered any remaining illusion.

"Audrey, please," he began, his voice suddenly weak, but I saw the fear in his eyes, not of losing me, but of being exposed.

"Tell me," I pushed, my voice gaining strength, "have you broken your promise? Have you gone back to her?" My heart pounded, not with hope, but with a terrifying certainty.

He swallowed hard, his gaze fixed on the broken lamp. The silence stretched, heavy and suffocating, until it was too much to bear.

"Cameron!" I screamed, the beast finally unleashed. "Tell me!" My voice echoed in the room, raw with pain and fury, demanding to know if the last three months had been nothing but another elaborate lie.

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.

I was the Pack’s shame, a twenty-year-old "Runt" who had never shifted. Yet, I clung to the desperate hope that Alpha Marcus, the man I had loved my entire life, would finally claim me at the Full Moon Gala. Instead, he stood before the entire Pack with Izzy, a woman who looked at him with hunger rather than love. With eyes as cold as stone, he didn't just ignore me; he destroyed me. "I, Marcus Thorne, reject you, Olivia Hayes." The rejection snapped our bond, but the nightmare was just beginning. When Izzy framed me for poisoning her, Marcus didn't hesitate. He chained me in the dungeon and wielded the silver whip himself. Each lash burned like liquid fire, tearing through my skin as he demanded a confession I couldn't give. I woke up in a pool of my own blood, only to hear the nurse whisper the truth I was never meant to know. The silver toxicity hadn't just broken my body; it had killed the unborn pup I didn't even know I was carrying. Marcus had whipped the mother of his own child to protect a liar. He had killed his heir for a woman who was faking her own pregnancy. That night, as I crawled through the mud to escape, the weak Runt died. In the freezing waters of the river, my bones snapped and reshaped. I didn't just shift; I became the legendary White Wolf. And when Marcus finally realized the truth and came begging on his knees, I looked at him with my new, violet eyes and prepared to give him the rejection he deserved.
