I unlocked my mate's tablet to check the time, but a notification caught my eye: Project Luna. Curiosity turned to horror as I opened the file. It wasn't a diary. It was a spreadsheet. Task #104: Public display of affection. Status: Complete. Task #215: Gift pearls. Status: Complete. I wasn't Jaxon's soulmate. I was a quarterly projection inherited from his dead brother to secure the pack's assets. The reality of his indifference nearly killed me at our engagement gala. When the massive chandelier snapped above us, Jaxon didn't shield me. He used my body as a launchpad to dive toward his mistress, Janice. I was crushed under lead crystal and silver wire, my flesh burning from the poison. While I lay bleeding on the marble floor, Jaxon carried a scratch-free Janice to safety, screaming at the guards to ignore me. But the physical scar on my arm was nothing compared to what I found next. I hacked into Janice's private account. There was a marriage certificate from Vegas, dated six months ago. On the exact night I miscarried our child alone on the bathroom floor, begging him to answer his phone, he was marrying her. He let our pup die while he pledged his life to another. When he tried to buy my forgiveness with a necklace, only to let Janice snatch it from his hand, I finally snapped. I threw his money in his face, rejected the bond, and vanished to Norway. Jaxon thought I would die without him. He didn't know that the Alpha Supreme of Europe had been waiting a lifetime to find me.

I unlocked my mate's tablet to check the time, but a notification caught my eye: Project Luna.

Curiosity turned to horror as I opened the file. It wasn't a diary. It was a spreadsheet.

Chapter 1

Elfrieda POV:

The screen of the tablet glowed in the darkness of the penthouse, illuminating the tears that I refused to let fall. It was Jaxon's private device, left carelessly on the coffee table while he took a call on the terrace. I had only meant to check the time, but the notification had popped up.

Project Luna: Denzel's Legacy.

Curiosity killed the cat, but it was about to slaughter the wolf. I tapped the file. It wasn't a diary. It wasn't a love letter. It was a spreadsheet.

My breath hitched in my throat. It was a checklist. A literal, itemized checklist of over four hundred tasks.

Task #104: Public display of affection at the Summer Solstice. Status: Complete.

Task #215: Gift jewelry (pearls preferred by high society). Status: Complete.

Task #302: Northern Lights trip. Status: Pending.

Next to every single interaction we had shared over the last three years, there was a tag: For the Glory of the Tate Pack.

I felt sick. My stomach churned, twisting into a tight knot. I wasn't his soulmate. I was a line item. I was a quarterly projection inherited from his dead brother.

The glass door to the terrace was cracked open. The night wind carried the scent of rain and Jaxon's scent-forest pine and ozone. Once, that scent made my knees weak. Now, it just smelled like a lie.

I focused my hearing. It was a trait of my bloodline I kept hidden; my senses were sharper than even some Alphas.

"She suspects nothing, Janice," Jaxon's voice drifted in, low and irritated. "Stop nagging me. I have to finish the list. It was Denzel's blood oath. I cannot let the Tate Pack crumble because I failed to secure a Luna."

My heart stopped. Janice. His high school sweetheart. The Beta female who supposedly moved to London years ago.

"I know you're tired of waiting," Jaxon continued, his voice softening in a way he never used with me. "But Elfrieda is... malleable. She is the perfect puppet Luna. She has the bloodline, even if she is wolfless. Once the Elders ratify the union next week, I'll have full control of the assets. Then we can be together properly."

He paused, listening to the person on the other line.

"I love you, Janice. You know that. This is just duty. She is just a duty."

Just a duty.

The words were a physical blow. I clutched my chest. In our world, the bond between fated mates is sacred. It is designed by the Moon Goddess herself. When you find your mate, your souls are supposed to recognize each other.

But Jaxon had never recognized me. I had felt the pull, the spark, three years ago. But he had looked at me with cold calculation. I thought he was just guarded. I thought he was mourning his brother.

I was wrong. He wasn't mourning. He was working.

I quickly closed the file and placed the tablet back exactly where it was. My hands were trembling.

I remembered the music. The Royal Academy of Wolfen Arts in Europe had offered me a full scholarship for my violin. They said my music had the power to soothe feral wolves, a rare gift called the Siren's Song. I had turned it down. For him. For this pack.

I had clipped my own wings to sit in a gilded cage, waiting for a man who was checking boxes on a spreadsheet.

The glass door slid open. Jaxon walked in. He was tall, with broad shoulders and dark hair that fell over his eyes. He looked like a king. He looked like my executioner.

He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. "Elfrieda. You're still up."

"I couldn't sleep," I said, my voice surprisingly steady.

He walked over and placed a hand on my shoulder. His touch should have sent sparks through me-the electric current that signifies a mate bond. But it felt dull. Muted. Like a connection interfering with static.

"I was thinking," he said, his tone rehearsed. "We should go see the Northern Lights next month. It would be romantic."

Task #302.

I wanted to scream. I wanted to shift, to let the wolf I had buried deep inside me rip his throat out. But I couldn't. Not yet.

"That sounds lovely," I lied.

He kissed my forehead. It was dry and quick. "Good. I have some work to finish in the study. Go to bed."

He turned and walked away, pulling out his phone again.

I waited until the study door clicked shut. Then, I pulled out my own laptop. My fingers flew across the keyboard. I wasn't just a violin prodigy; silence taught you how to listen, and loneliness taught you how to find things.

I hacked into Janice's social media. It was private, but her password was pathetic-Jaxon's birthday.

There it was. A photo posted six months ago. A marriage certificate from a human courthouse in Las Vegas. Janice and Jaxon.

They were already married by human law.

A sob threatened to break my ribs. Six months ago. The timeline aligned perfectly with the darkest week of my life.

I closed my eyes and reached out with my mind. The Mind-Link is the telepathic web that connects all pack members. It is usually noisy, filled with patrols and chatter. But I pushed past the noise, reaching for a specific frequency.

Jamil? I sent the thought out, weak and broken.

My brother's voice came back instantly, sharp with alarm. Elfrieda? What's wrong? Your mental wall is crumbling. I can feel your pain.

I looked at the closed study door. I looked at the engagement ring on my finger, a diamond that felt heavier than a shackle.

Get me out, I pleaded through the link. Please, brother. Come get me.

A sharp, stabbing pain woke me. 3:17 AM. Alone. I reached for my husband, Mark, but he wasn' t there. My desperate call for help was answered by Lily, his goddaughter, her voice laced with annoyance. "Mark is busy. Eleanor isn' t feeling well, so he's here with me." I tried to explain about the emergency, the searing pain in my abdomen. She dismissed it as drama and hung up. Abandoned, I crawled to the phone and dialed 911, whispering, "I think I'm dying." At the hospital, the doctor' s grim face confirmed my worst fear: a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. I was bleeding internally and needed emergency surgery. Alone, I signed the consent form, my hand trembling, tears blurring Sarah Miller into a solitary figure. When I reached Mark hours later, fresh out of surgery and groggy from anesthesia, his words were cold, clipped. "What is it now, Sarah?" Before I could explain, Lily's frantic voice in the background cut me off. "Mark, come quick! Mom\'s monitor is beeping again!" He hung up, choosing her over me, over our lost baby, over my near-death experience. The love I thought was unbreakable shattered into a million pieces. The next morning, lying in the hospital bed, a cold, hard clarity settled over me. I had to make him understand. I sent him my medical reports, hoping the undeniable proof would cut through his blindness. His reply, however, sealed my fate: "Sarah, this has gone too far. Using a fake medical report to guilt-trip me is a new low." He called me manipulative, a liar. He chose her over me, again. The fight drained out of me. I typed one word: "Okay." It was over. I knew, with a certainty that chilled me to the bone, that I was done.

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.

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.
