For five years, I paid for a crime my brother never committed. I believed he was in prison and our family was ruined, so I endured homelessness, starvation, and constant torment, all for him. But after my third suicide attempt, I overheard a conversation that shattered everything. My suffering wasn't a tragedy; it was a "lesson" orchestrated by my own brother, Ashton. I found him celebrating at our family villa, throwing a lavish party for his girlfriend, Kecia. He called me dramatic and ungrateful. When I finally fought back, he slapped me to the ground, admitting they'd been traveling the world while I begged for scraps. My five years of hell had been their vacation. My life was nothing but a twisted game to teach me humility. So I decided to teach him a final lesson in return. As I bled out in my filthy apartment, I made one last call. "Ashton," I whispered, my voice fading. "Is the punishment over now?"

For five years, I paid for a crime my brother never committed. I believed he was in prison and our family was ruined, so I endured homelessness, starvation, and constant torment, all for him.

But after my third suicide attempt, I overheard a conversation that shattered everything. My suffering wasn't a tragedy; it was a "lesson" orchestrated by my own brother, Ashton.

I found him celebrating at our family villa, throwing a lavish party for his girlfriend, Kecia. He called me dramatic and ungrateful. When I finally fought back, he slapped me to the ground, admitting they'd been traveling the world while I begged for scraps.

My five years of hell had been their vacation. My life was nothing but a twisted game to teach me humility.

So I decided to teach him a final lesson in return. As I bled out in my filthy apartment, I made one last call.

"Ashton," I whispered, my voice fading. "Is the punishment over now?"

Chapter 1

Blaire Morin POV:

They say death is a release, and for me, it was the final, brutal end to a punishment I never deserved. I spent five years paying for a crime my brother didn't commit, paying for his "imprisonment" with every breath, every beat of my collapsing heart.

The retaliation never stopped.

They sent me dead rats in the mail, spray-painted "WHORE" on my apartment door, and made sure every gig-economy job I managed to claw my way into disappeared the moment I started.

The constant terror, the gnawing hunger, the sheer, crushing weight of loneliness-it hollowed me out until there was nothing left but a shell.

Three times, I tried to end it. Three times, I failed.

The last time, I swallowed every pill I could find, desperate for the silence.

Darkness was a soft blanket, wrapping around me, when a voice, sharp and familiar, sliced through the quiet.

It was Kecia, Ashton's girlfriend, her voice laced with panic. "He's going to find out, Ashton! He's going to know what we did!"

Then his voice, my brother's voice, cold and dismissive. "It was just a lesson, Kecia. She needed to learn."

The words hit me like a physical blow. Ashton. Not in jail. Not bankrupt. It was all a lie.

My suffering wasn't a consequence of his downfall; it was the downfall itself. A game. My life, a twisted game.

A lesson, he called it. A lesson that stripped me of everything, left me starving, broken, and wishing for death.

If he wanted a lesson, I would give him one he'd never forget. My life for his "lesson."

The pills were working. The darkness was calling. This time, I wouldn't fight it.

He had no right to play God with my life, to watch me drown and call it therapy.

"She had it coming," Kecia's voice hissed, a cruel satisfaction in her tone. "After what she did to me at dinner, she deserved worse."

They didn't just want me to learn. They wanted me to break. And I did.

The bitterness was a familiar taste, but now it was sharper, laced with the acid of betrayal.

How could he? My brother, Ashton. The one who promised to protect me. How could he do this?

My answer would be silent, but it would echo louder than any scream.

My death would be his ultimate lesson. The cost of his game.

"Don't worry, Ashton," Kecia cooed. "No one will ever know it was us. She's just a crazy girl who couldn't handle life."

Irony. I was supposed to be learning a lesson, and all I learned was how truly cruel the people you love can be.

Let my death be the final chapter, the devastating climax of their twisted narrative.

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.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
