For years, I was nothing but a biological spare part for my sister, Isabella. My bone marrow kept her vibrant while I withered in the attic. I thought my mate, Alpha Dante, would eventually see me. I was the one who saved him from the blizzard years ago, not her. But when a neon sign crashed down outside the jazz club, Dante didn't look at me. He tackled Isabella, shielding her pristine body, while I was crushed beneath burning silver-plated metal. I woke up in agony, only to find Isabella accusing me of trying to kill her. Dante didn't smell the lies. He only saw his "traumatized" fiancée. "Fifty lashes," he ordered, his eyes cold. "Use the Wolfsbane whip." I hung from the dungeon ceiling, the poison searing my bones, watching the man I loved cover Isabella's eyes to spare her the sight of my blood. The final straw came during a car crash days later. Trapped and bleeding internally, I begged for his help. He looked at the fire licking my legs, then at Isabella's scratched arm. He picked her up and walked away, leaving me to burn. That night, the bond in my heart died. I didn't beg anymore. I left a single cassette tape on his desk-the recording of me singing to him in that blizzard-and vanished. By the time he realized he had tortured his true savior, I was already gone.

For years, I was nothing but a biological spare part for my sister, Isabella. My bone marrow kept her vibrant while I withered in the attic.

I thought my mate, Alpha Dante, would eventually see me. I was the one who saved him from the blizzard years ago, not her.

But when a neon sign crashed down outside the jazz club, Dante didn't look at me.

He tackled Isabella, shielding her pristine body, while I was crushed beneath burning silver-plated metal.

I woke up in agony, only to find Isabella accusing me of trying to kill her.

Dante didn't smell the lies. He only saw his "traumatized" fiancée.

"Fifty lashes," he ordered, his eyes cold. "Use the Wolfsbane whip."

I hung from the dungeon ceiling, the poison searing my bones, watching the man I loved cover Isabella's eyes to spare her the sight of my blood.

The final straw came during a car crash days later. Trapped and bleeding internally, I begged for his help.

He looked at the fire licking my legs, then at Isabella's scratched arm. He picked her up and walked away, leaving me to burn.

That night, the bond in my heart died.

I didn't beg anymore. I left a single cassette tape on his desk-the recording of me singing to him in that blizzard-and vanished.

By the time he realized he had tortured his true savior, I was already gone.

Chapter 1

Seraphina POV:

The pain hit first. Not the dull throb of a bruise, but a deep, drilling agony inside my marrow. It was a phantom sensation, a somatic flashback to the needle that had pierced my hip repeatedly over the years, extracting the essence that kept my sister, Isabella, vibrant while I withered.

I gasped, shooting up in the darkness. My hand flew to my chest, clutching the thin, sweat-drenched cotton of my nightgown.

Peeling wallpaper. Drafty window. The narrow cot that smelled of mildew.

I wasn't dead on the operating table. I was back in the attic of the Vitiello estate.

I glanced at the calendar. Present day. The red circle around tomorrow's date loomed like a threat: Isabella & Dante's Engagement.

The door creaked open.

Giovanni Vitiello, the Alpha of our declining house, stepped inside. He didn't look at my face. He scanned me with the cold utility of a mechanic checking a failing engine.

"You're awake," he grunted.

He tossed an envelope onto the foot of my bed.

"Ticket to London," he said. "One way. You leave tonight."

I stared at the envelope. Years ago, I would have begged. I would have promised to be invisible just to stay near Dante.

"Isabella and Dante's Mating Ceremony is coming up," he continued, a sneer curling his lip. "We can't have a Wolfless runt shaming us. Your scent... it's weak. It smells of sickness. It might offend the Bloodmoon Alpha."

My mother appeared in the doorway, arms crossed. "Pack your things, Seraphina. Don't make a scene. The best service you can provide this family now is your absence."

I looked at them. Really looked at them. The connection was gone. I had tried for years to reach them through the pack link, but to them, I was just static.

A memory clawed its way up: A blizzard. A safe house. Dante shivering in my arms, blinded by silver poison. I had poured my life force into him, feeling the electric snap of the Mate Bond. But he had been blind. He hadn't seen me. He had only smelled me.

And Isabella, masked by a witch's brew and my stolen blood, had hijacked that scent.

I looked back at the ticket. The sorrow in my chest had hardened into something calcified.

"Okay," I rasped.

My father blinked, thrown off by the lack of resistance. "Good. Be gone before sunrise."

They left. I walked to the cracked mirror. My reflection was gaunt, but deep in my irises, a speck of silver flashed-a dormant power I had always been forced to suppress.

"Dante Moretti is dead to me," I whispered.

I packed light. Just clothes and a stash of cash I'd hidden under the floorboards.

As I walked down the hall, I passed Isabella's portrait. She looked regal. Painted lies.

"Enjoy the spotlight," I thought. "The blood bank is closed."

I stepped out the front door. I looked up at the moon, making a silent vow: I will never beg again.

My phone buzzed. Not a text, but a command override that locked my muscles.

Alpha Dante: Come to the penthouse. Now.

The Alpha Command. Even through a screen, his dominance hooked into my nervous system. My body moved before my mind could object.

I woke up in a luxury penthouse with a blinding headache and bruises on my thighs, staring at the man who was about to ruin my life. Cullen Hunter, the most dangerous billionaire in Los Angeles, was stepping out of the shower, ready to discard me with a signed check and a cold look of disdain. Then the memories hit me like a physical blow. I realized I had woken up in the "Death Flag" scene of a script—this was the exact morning Avery Hall was supposed to be kicked out, humiliated, and started her downward spiral into a tragic death. The nightmare escalated within minutes. My own brother, Ernest, called to tell me I was no longer a member of the family, freezing my trust fund and evicting me from my apartment. He believed the lies of our "perfect" adopted sister, Cheslie, who had leaked her own private photos and framed me for it just to gain sympathy. Even my fiancé, Preston, couldn't wait to dump me in public, calling me a "crazy bitch" before running straight into Cheslie’s waiting arms. I was suddenly homeless, bankrupt, and the most hated woman in the city. My family wanted me to crawl back and apologize on my knees for a crime I didn't commit, while the man I had just spent the night with watched my destruction with boredom. I didn't understand how they could all turn on me so fast, or how I was expected to survive in a world where the script was literally written for my failure. "Avery, don't make this difficult," Cullen warned, waiting for the tears he thought were coming. But I refused to play the victim. I pulled three hundred dollars of my last bits of cash, slapped them onto Cullen’s nightstand, and told him the service was mediocre. I wasn't going to beg for love or mercy anymore; I was going to rewrite the ending of this story and become the most dangerous femme fatale Hollywood had ever seen.

The last thing I remembered was the freezing water closing over my head, Brittany' s triumphant smile the final image in my mind. Then, a gasp. I shot up, coughing, not in the dark river, but in my bed, sunlight streaming through the window. Had it all been a nightmare? The public shaming, getting fired, the whispers, the utter despair that drove me to that river' s edge? A self-satisfied hum from the living room shattered the illusion. Brittany. My heart hammered. This wasn' t a nightmare. It was a second chance. Memories flooded back: my sweet, bubbly roommate turning into a viper. She started using my online identity, my photos, twisting them into something sordid. When I confronted her, she just laughed, "Chloe, don' t be such a prude. They love it. It' s just a bit of fun." I went to HR, but she got there first, twisting the story, painting me as a jealous, unstable friend. They believed her. The photos became more explicit, sent from my work email. I was publicly humiliated, labeled an exhibitionist. My boss couldn' t look me in the eye. The company fired me to "protect its image." My career, everything I' d worked for, was gone. Brittany thrived. She took my job, my desk, my life. She stood on the ashes of my career and pretended she was a hero. The final blow was the public scandal that nearly cost me my life. And then, it did. As the current pulled me under, she had won. But now I was back. The girl who died in that river took all my innocence with her. What was left was a cold, burning desire for revenge. And as I lay there, listening to the clicks of her camera, I knew exactly how I was going to get it.

Five years. Nine court dates. One thousand eight hundred and twenty-five days of a marriage on trial. Today, my husband, Mark Thompson, filed for divorce for the ninth time. As if his infidelity with Sarah Miller wasn' t enough, he stood in court, tears in his mistress' s eyes, dramatically presenting a positive pregnancy test and declared, "It's time for Chloe to let me go." But I had proof. A grainy surveillance video from our living room, showing Mark, drunk, begging me not to leave, then savagely biting my earlobe in a desperate, animalistic act of possession. The judge, clearly fed up with Mark' s theatrics, denied the petition. Mark, enraged, swore he' d keep fighting until I was out of his life for good. His words rang true just three nights later. I was poisoned at a dinner, doubling over in searing pain, gasping for air. Mark found me clutching my stomach, but instead of helping, he dismissed my agony, saying, "Stop faking it, Chloe. You' re just drunk." Then he drove away, leaving me to bleed on the dark street, his chilling threat echoing in the night: "Just obey, or I' ll file for divorce again at the next hearing. I' ll make sure it' s the tenth and final one." As his taillights vanished, a profound stillness settled over me. This wasn't just a physical wound; it was a soul-deep laceration, cauterized by his indifference. Lying there, alone and abandoned, a decision formed in my mind, crystal clear and devoid of emotion. I was done.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
