I lay in the ICU, silver toxicity turning my blood to lead. A chandelier had sliced through my shoulder, poisoning me and the secret life growing inside my womb. The doctor was frantic, gripping the phone. "Alpha, the silver has reached her marrow. She needs a transfusion of your blood. It's the only way to save the Luna and the... the potential life." I waited for my husband, Blake, to rush to my side. Instead, his voice came through the speaker, cold and clinical. "Keep the reserves in storage, Doctor. Ariana is in shock from a scratch on her finger. She might need it if she faints. I cannot risk depleting my supply for Caroline." The room went silent. In that silence, my inner wolf gave one last shuddering gasp and died. She couldn't survive the rejection. And the tiny spark of life in my womb flickered out with her. He had stopped our child's heart to protect his mistress's panic attack. I didn't scream. I reached for the black leather notebook on my bedside table. My ledger. For five years, I had tracked every insult. Every time he chose Ariana over me. We started with 100 points. He walked through fire for her and left me to burn under the debris. -20. He gave the family heirloom to her to 'soothe' her. -15. He refused the blood. He killed our son. I wrote the final number. Total: 0. The debt was paid. The bond was bankrupt. I signed the divorce papers and vanished into the storm, leaving a dead son and a dead marriage behind. Two years later, I returned as the most powerful architect in the region, the rare White Wolf. Blake, now a ruined, disgraced man, knelt in the rain before me, begging. "I can fix it," he sobbed, clutching the hem of my dress. "I can earn the points back!" I looked down at him with cold, dead eyes. "The ledger is closed, Blake. You hit zero."

I lay in the ICU, silver toxicity turning my blood to lead. A chandelier had sliced through my shoulder, poisoning me and the secret life growing inside my womb.

The doctor was frantic, gripping the phone. "Alpha, the silver has reached her marrow. She needs a transfusion of your blood. It's the only way to save the Luna and the... the potential life."

I waited for my husband, Blake, to rush to my side. Instead, his voice came through the speaker, cold and clinical.

"Keep the reserves in storage, Doctor. Ariana is in shock from a scratch on her finger. She might need it if she faints. I cannot risk depleting my supply for Caroline."

The room went silent.

In that silence, my inner wolf gave one last shuddering gasp and died. She couldn't survive the rejection.

And the tiny spark of life in my womb flickered out with her.

He had stopped our child's heart to protect his mistress's panic attack.

I didn't scream. I reached for the black leather notebook on my bedside table. My ledger.

For five years, I had tracked every insult. Every time he chose Ariana over me. We started with 100 points.

He walked through fire for her and left me to burn under the debris. -20.

Chapter 1

Caroline POV:

The steady beep of the heart monitor was the only rhythm left in my world. It was a cold, synthetic metronome, mocking the silence where a pack heart's thrum used to be.

I lay in the ICU of the Blood Moon Pack hospital. My body felt like it was filled with lead-silver toxicity. A chandelier had crashed down during the council meeting, slicing through my shoulder and poisoning my blood.

But the physical agony was background noise compared to the silence in my head.

My wolf. My inner spirit. She was usually a furnace of instinct curled around my soul. Now, she was fading. She was whimpering, a high-pitched keen of distress that vibrated in my marrow.

"Doctor, her vitals are dropping!" a nurse shouted.

Dr. Evans, the pack physician, looked pale. He gripped the phone, knuckles white.

"Alpha," Dr. Evans pleaded. "I need you here. Now. The silver has reached her bone marrow. Her body is rejecting the antidote. She needs a transfusion of Alpha blood. It's the only thing potent enough to burn out the poison and save the... save the potential life inside her."

I froze. My hand drifted to my flat stomach. A pup. I hadn't told him yet.

The room went silent. Everyone waited for the command.

Then, I heard it. Not through the phone, but through the Mind-Link. His voice was clear, clinical, and utterly devoid of affection.

Keep my blood reserves in storage, Doctor, Blake's voice echoed in my skull. Ariana is in shock from the accident. Her heart rate is erratic. She might need a transfusion to stabilize if she goes into cardiac arrest. I cannot risk depleting my supply for Caroline's injuries.

But Alpha- Dr. Evans tried to project back.

That is an order, Blake cut him off. The Alpha's Command slammed down like a physical weight, silencing the doctor's wolf.

In that silence, I felt it.

My wolf gave one last, shuddering gasp. She had been holding on, waiting for him, waiting for our mate to choose us. But he chose the woman who wasn't his mate. He chose Ariana.

The connection to my wolf snapped. It didn't feel like a cut; it felt like a lightbulb shattering in a dark room. The warmth vanished. The instinct died. I was just... human. Alone.

And the tiny spark of life in my womb, which had barely begun to glow, flickered out with her.

I didn't scream. I didn't cry. The grief was too large for tears. It was a vast, empty ocean.

With trembling fingers, I reached for the black leather notebook on the bedside table. My ledger.

For five years, I had tracked it. Every insult. Every rejection. Every time he put Ariana before me. We started with 100 points. A perfect score for a fated mate.

I opened it to the last page. My hand shook as I uncapped the pen.

He stopped our child's breathing to save her heart rate.

I wrote the number down.

-5.

Total: 0.

It was done. The debt was paid. The bond was bankrupt.

Dr. Evans looked at me with pity in his eyes. "Luna... I..."

"Don't call me that," I whispered, my voice raspy. "I'm not the Luna. Not anymore."

I reached for the folder underneath the ledger. The Rejection of Mating Bond application. I had filled it out months ago, just in case. Now, I signed the bottom line. The ink looked blacker than the night outside.

I didn't send the rejection through the link yet. He didn't deserve the warning.

I picked up my phone and dialed a number I had memorized but never used. It rang once.

"The package is ready for extraction," I said. "Standard protocol. No traces."

I hung up. This wasn't a negotiation. This was the end.

I was finally brought back to the billionaire Vance estate after years in the grimy foster system, but the luxury Lincoln felt more like a funeral procession. My biological family didn't welcome me with open arms; they looked at me like a stain on a silk shirt. They thought I was a "defective" mute with cognitive delays, a spare part to be traded away. Within hours of my arrival, my father decided to sell me to Julian Thorne, a bitter, paralyzed heir, just to secure a corporate merger. My sister Tiffany treated me like trash, whispering for me to "go back to the gutter" before pouring red wine over my dress in front of Manhattan's elite. When a drunk cousin tried to lay hands on me at the engagement gala, my grandmother didn't protect me-she raised her silver-topped cane to strike my face for "embarrassing the family." They called me a sacrificial lamb, laughing as they signed the prenuptial agreement that stripped me of my freedom. They had no idea I was E-11, the underground hacker-artist the world was obsessed with, or that I had already breached their private servers. I found the hidden medical records-blood types A, A, and B-a biological impossibility that proved my "parents" were harboring a scandal that could ruin them. Why bring me back just to discard me again? And why was Julian Thorne, the man supposedly bound to a wheelchair, secretly running miles at dawn on his private estate? Standing in the middle of the ballroom, I didn't plead for mercy. I used a text-to-speech app to broadcast a cold, synthetic threat: "I have the records, Richard. Do you want me to explain genetics to the press, or should we leave quietly?" With the "paralyzed" billionaire as my unexpected accomplice, I walked out of the Vance house and into a much more dangerous game.

I was the perfect fiancée to Archer Sterling, a tech mogul who demanded I be as polished as his marble countertops. I gave up my art and my identity to fit his world, believing our upcoming wedding was the start of our forever. A mysterious text led me to a hidden folder in a calculator app on Archer’s phone. Inside were photos of him with his assistant, Mia, and texts calling me a "dead fish" and "manageable" collateral for his upcoming IPO. The humiliation peaked at my final bridal fitting. Archer ditched me for a hotel tryst with Mia, leaving me to overhear the salon staff mocking me as a "clueless gold digger." When I collapsed in the hallway, barefoot and broken, Archer didn't offer a hand. He only scolded me for "making a scene" and ordered me to be "supportive" of his busy schedule. The seven years I spent molding myself into his ideal woman were a lie. I wasn't his partner; I was a character in a play he wrote for his investors. My love had been met with calculated contempt, and my sacrifices were treated as his due. That night, I found Mia’s silk stockings shoved in my guest bathroom. The scent of her perfume in my home was the final breaking point. When Archer tried to touch me, my skin crawled with a physical rejection I couldn't mask. I locked the door, shredded the stockings, and called the one man Archer feared: Julian Van Der Bilt. "Does your offer for help include getting me out of here?" I asked. "Pack a bag," Julian’s voice rumbled through the dark. "I'll be there in twenty minutes. Don't let him see you leave."

My engagement party was supposed to be the culmination of seven years of love with Liam Miller, a public declaration before we started our lives as husband and wife. The room was filled with our closest friends and family, everything perfect, down to the white roses and the soft string quartet. But then, the video montage Liam prepared – a journey through our relationship – flickered. It cut to a sterile hospital room where Liam cradled a newborn baby with a tender joy I hadn't seen in years. Then the camera panned, revealing his assistant, Sarah Jenkins, in the hospital bed, wearing an engagement ring identical to mine. A collective gasp swept through the room as the music died, leaving deafening silence. Liam rushed to my side, whispering, "Chloe, calm down. Don't make a scene," before gaslighting everyone, calling it a "technical glitch" and dismissing my shock as "emotional." My world imploded. I stood there, humiliated, watching him protect her at my expense. The anger was cold and sharp as I walked to the stage, announcing, "It seems there's been a happy surprise. I wasn't aware we were celebrating two families tonight." I held up my hand, then pointed to Sarah, saying, "It seems Liam is a man of great generosity. So generous, in fact, that he's given out two of the same ring." I slid my diamond ring off and placed it on the tablecloth, telling him, "I wish you and Sarah double happiness. You clearly deserve each other." As I turned to leave, Liam grabbed my arm in the hallway, raging, "What the hell was that, Chloe? You humiliated me!" "You humiliated yourself, Liam," I retorted, realizing this wasn't just a betrayal; it was years of hidden lies. Back at our penthouse, a text from Sarah arrived with a photo of her wearing my custom-designed star-map bracelet-the one Liam was supposed to give me for my birthday next month. Her text read: "He says some things are just meant for the right person. Thanks for the design, Chloe. It's beautiful." The calculated cruelty of it stole the air from my lungs. Then Liam returned, offering a diamond necklace I' d seen on Sarah, trying to dismiss everything as "one mistake." He still didn't see it. He still chose her. After he left to care for their sick baby, my phone buzzed again with more texts from Sarah: screenshots revealing years of his lies-missed birthdays, fake business trips-all spent building a family with her. And then, a sharp pain shot through my abdomen. I was pregnant. Two months along. Our own happy surprise. The baby. Our baby felt like a part of his deception. I couldn' t tie myself to him, to this pain. The decision made itself: I would cut him out of my life completely.

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.
