For seven years, I suppressed my Alpha aura and took sickening drugs to pass as a human secretary. All to win a bet with my father, the Alpha King, that Dante loved me for my soul, not my bloodline. But tonight, Dante proved me wrong in the most public way possible. While I sat in a taxi, a Times Square billboard lit up with his face. He wasn't working late as he claimed. He was holding a waitress named Lola, announcing her as his future Luna because she could "breed strong pups" and I was just a "useful tool." When I arrived at the office to confront them, Lola didn't just mock me. She slapped my face and smashed my mother's silver locket under her heel. She laughed, thinking she had destroyed a cheap trinket belonging to a weak human. "You are prey, Seraphina," she sneered. "And you are trespassing in the wolf's den." She didn't realize that the locket wasn't protecting me from them. It was protecting them from *me*. With the seal broken, the air in the room instantly dropped twenty degrees. My eyes shifted from brown to glowing liquid silver. They thought they were discarding a broken secretary. They had no idea they had just declared war on the Royal Family. I picked up the phone and dialed the most feared number in the werewolf world. "Papa," I said, stepping over the shattered silver. "The masquerade is over. Bring the helicopters."

For seven years, I suppressed my Alpha aura and took sickening drugs to pass as a human secretary.

All to win a bet with my father, the Alpha King, that Dante loved me for my soul, not my bloodline.

But tonight, Dante proved me wrong in the most public way possible.

While I sat in a taxi, a Times Square billboard lit up with his face. He wasn't working late as he claimed.

He was holding a waitress named Lola, announcing her as his future Luna because she could "breed strong pups" and I was just a "useful tool."

When I arrived at the office to confront them, Lola didn't just mock me. She slapped my face and smashed my mother's silver locket under her heel.

She laughed, thinking she had destroyed a cheap trinket belonging to a weak human.

"You are prey, Seraphina," she sneered. "And you are trespassing in the wolf's den."

She didn't realize that the locket wasn't protecting me from them. It was protecting them from *me*.

With the seal broken, the air in the room instantly dropped twenty degrees. My eyes shifted from brown to glowing liquid silver.

They thought they were discarding a broken secretary. They had no idea they had just declared war on the Royal Family.

I picked up the phone and dialed the most feared number in the werewolf world.

"Papa," I said, stepping over the shattered silver.

"The masquerade is over. Bring the helicopters."

Chapter 1

Seraphina POV:

The silver locket resting against my sternum wasn't just warm. It was searing, a physical manifestation of the agitation roiling inside my soul. My wolf, usually comatose under the heavy dose of Moonshade Herb packed inside the pendant, was clawing at the walls of her cage.

She knew something I was refusing to admit.

"Look at that," the taxi driver grunted, gesturing with a calloused hand toward the massive digital billboard lighting up Times Square. "Another rich Alpha finding his bitch. Must be nice."

I looked out the window. My stomach dropped so hard I felt bile rise in my throat.

There, five stories tall, was Dante Moretti. He was smiling that charming, crooked smile that had convinced me, a naive eighteen-year-old girl, to leave my father's kingdom seven years ago. But he wasn't smiling at me.

He was holding the waist of a woman in a white silk dress. Lola.

The headline scrolled in neon pink: *Alpha Dante Moretti and Future Luna Lola – The Union of the Century.*

"Finally found a she-wolf who can shift, eh?" the driver chuckled, glancing at me in the rearview mirror. He was a low-level Beta, smelling of stale coffee and mediocrity. He saw me as a human. A fragile, breakable thing. "Better than wasting time with those human girls. They can't handle the knot, if you know what I mean."

I didn't answer. I just stared at the screen.

My phone buzzed in my lap. A text from Dante.

*Meeting ran late, babe. The Elders are riding my ass about the quarterly projections. Don't wait up. Love you.*

The lie was so lazy it felt like he hadn't even tried. He wasn't in a meeting with the Elders. He was broadcasting his betrayal to the entire city of New York.

I closed my eyes. The seven-year clock in my head ticked down to zero.

"You lose, Papa," I whispered to the empty air.

Seven years ago, I made a bet with my father, Don Salvatore Vitiello, the Alpha King of North America. I told him that love transcended the brutal hierarchy of our kind. I told him Dante loved me for my soul, not my bloodline. My father, a man who viewed the world through the lens of power and conquest, gave me seven years.

*If he remains faithful to you as a human,* my father had said, *I will bless the union. But if he betrays you, the Vitiello Pack swallows the Moretti name.*

I picked up my other phone. It was a sleek, black satellite device that I kept hidden in the lining of my purse. I typed a single message to the Shadow Guard.

*Freeze the assets. Cut the Moretti supply lines. We are done here.*

"Stop the car," I told the driver.

"Lady, we're still ten blocks from-"

"Stop the car!"

The command slipped out. It wasn't quite an Alpha Command-my seal prevented that-but the authority in my voice made the Beta driver slam on the brakes instinctively. I threw a wad of cash on the seat and stepped out into the humid New York night.

The Moretti Enterprises tower loomed ahead. It wasn't just a corporate HQ; it was the heart of the Pack's territory in the city.

As I walked through the revolving doors, the smell hit me.

It was the scent of arousal. Thick, musky, and cloying. It was the smell of a Pack in celebration.

The lobby was filled with Pack members. Warriors in suits, Omegas carrying trays of champagne. And in the center of it all, standing on the grand staircase like a queen, was Lola.

She was radiant in a tacky sort of way. Her blonde hair was teased high, and her dress was cut low enough to show the swell of her chest. She was surrounded by a gaggle of sycophants.

"Seraphina!"

The voice was shrill. Bella, Lola's sidekick and a Gamma female with a nasty temper, pointed a manicured finger at me. The music died down. The chatter stopped.

Lola turned. Her eyes, usually a dull hazel, flashed a predatory yellow.

"Well, well," Lola purred, descending the stairs. The sound of her heels clicking on the marble echoed in the silence. "The secretary finally decided to show up. Did you come to clean the toilets? Because that's about all a human is good for in this building."

I stood my ground. My hand went to the burning locket at my throat. "Where is Dante?"

"Dante is preparing for the ceremony," Lola said, stopping a foot away from me. She smelled of cheap vanilla perfume and unwashed dog. "He's busy becoming the Alpha he was meant to be. With a real Luna. Not a placeholder."

"A real Luna?" I repeated, my voice calm despite the rage boiling my blood. "You mean a bottle-blonde hustler who spent the last three years serving watered-down drinks at The Red Moon?"

The crowd gasped. In our world, questioning a high-ranking female's status was an act of war. But I wasn't afraid. I was the daughter of the King. They just didn't know it yet.

"Careful, human," Lola hissed. A low growl vibrated in her chest. "You're in the wolf's den now. We don't have HR departments here to protect you."

I pulled a magnetic key card from my pocket. It wasn't just an employee pass. It was the Master Key I had programmed myself, linked to the building's security grid.

"I don't need protection," I said, stepping forward. "And this isn't your den. I paid for the marble under your feet. I balanced the books that bought that dress."

Lola's lip curled back, revealing slightly elongated canines. She was shifting partially, an intimidation tactic used on weaker wolves.

"You think you own this place because you can use a calculator?" Lola laughed, and the sound was like glass breaking. "Get her out of here. She smells like mediocrity."

Two security guards-Warriors I had personally hired-stepped forward. But they hesitated. They looked from me to Lola, unsure.

"Are you deaf?" Lola screamed. "I am your future Luna! Remove this trash!"

I looked at the guards. "Touch me, and you lose your pensions."

Lola didn't wait for the guards. Her patience snapped. Her claws extended, tearing through her manicured nails.

"I'll do it myself," she snarled.

Today was my ninth wedding anniversary, and I lay in a hospital bed, recovering from a hysterectomy. My husband, Mark, sent a diamond necklace, but instead of him, a young woman' s voice answered his phone. "This is Emily. Please, don' t do this to Mark." Her tearful plea implied she had picked out my anniversary gift with him. He then agreed to a divorce-eagerly, relieved-hanging up before I could speak. He never showed up at the courthouse. He promised to meet me. He broke that promise. Two months later, he stumbled home, drunk, offering me a luxury watch as if it could erase his betrayal. "A divorce? We' re not getting a divorce," he slurred. I saw him days later, laughing intimately with Emily at a café, while I was dealing with more than just a broken marriage. "I have uterine cancer." The words were out, shattering the fragile peace. "You have cancer and you' re telling me now? How could you keep that from me?" he shouted, not out of concern, but anger at how it looked. He raged about losing control, about how this affected him, not once asking about my pain. I had been alone in a hospital bed, recovering from surgery, while he was at a gala with Emily, the "close companion," the night of my surgery. He thought I was making a scene, when he was the one who had brought Emily to his parents' home, to Lily' s birthday party. His mother praised Emily, who' d planned my daughter' s party. They all stood there, a united front: Mark, his parents, and his mistress, making me the villain. His cruelty was breathtaking. "She' s just bitter," he announced to the silent room. "She' s bitter because she' s not a complete woman anymore. She had to have a hysterectomy. She has cancer. She can' t have any more children. She' s broken." He had taken my deepest vulnerability, my illness, and used it as a weapon to humiliate me publicly. Something inside me snapped. I slapped him, hard, the sound echoing through the stunned silence. Emily shrieked and lunged, but I sidestepped, and she crashed into a table. "It' s all yours," I said, my voice ringing with finality. "You can have him. You can have this whole rotten family. We' re done." I walked out, hand in hand with my daughter, leaving the wreckage behind.

The grand hall reeked of old money and lilies, a scent that now made my stomach clench. This was it: Dad' s insane "heir selection ceremony." He called it securing the family legacy, but it was just another bizarre power play. My twin sister, Emily, and I stood before him while he gestured to two men. One, Alex, was a struggling startup founder, awkward but kind. The other, Liam, was a tech prodigy, brilliant but comatose, hooked up to humming machines. The rules were simple, and savagely unfair: One of us would marry Alex, and the other, Liam. Emily, as always, got to choose first. I watched her, my perfect, ambitious twin. She didn' t hesitate, and a painful echo resonated deep within me. I' d lived this before. In my first life, Emily snatched Alex, leaving me with the silent man in the bed, scoffing, "Sarah' s quiet enough for him." Her life with Alex was a gilded cage of public performance. Mine, a shadow empire under Liam' s thumb. He wasn't comatose; he was awake, a spider spinning a web of illegal projects, and I was his hostage. I became rich beyond imagination, but I was living a nightmare. Emily, blinded by envy, saw only my wealth. She couldn' t bear my "success" while her own life crumbled under the weight of society's expectations. Her jealousy consumed her, driving her to orchestrate my ruin, ultimately leading to her own dramatic, fatal car crash. I woke up, back in this hall, the scent of lilies suffocating me. It was the heir selection ceremony, the day it all began again. Emily, glowing with confidence, looked between Alex and Liam, then at me. A predatory smile, so unlike her first-life triumph, spread across her face. "Sister," she purred, her voice sweet as poison, "It' s my turn to enjoy the good life now." She turned to our father, chin high. "I choose Liam." A stunned silence fell. She thought she was taking my power, my secret. She thought she had found the path to immense wealth. She had no idea. She had just chosen the monster. And in doing so, she had set me free.

The System’s Cruel Canvas

Romance

The antiseptic smell wasn't new; my head always throbbed. I, Chloe Reed, once a promising artist, was now the "evil stepsister," a role forced upon me by a parasitic System. A year ago, my adoptive brother Alex, the boy I secretly loved, lay dying. The System offered a cure: become the villain, push Alex into Sarah Jenkins' s arms, and then get a new life. I said yes. How could I not? It was for Alex. The System' s predictions were chillingly accurate. Alex healed, and Sarah, a ray of manufactured sunshine, entered our lives. My existence became a calculated hell, designed to make Alex despise me. Every humiliation, every cruel word from him, was orchestrated. He looked at me with cold loathing, seeing only the monster I was forced to be. Then came the art gala. Painting, my soul' s refuge, was to be sacrificed. Alex, the boy who once said my art was magic, demanded I create something to make Sarah' s work shine by comparison. He wanted me to lose, publicly, to prove I could do something for someone else. The System buzzed with approval, promising freedom. I agreed, the word tasting like ash. The night of the gala, I unveiled "Hopeless," a canvas of chaos. Sarah presented "Hope," a field of vibrant flowers. Her victory was thunderous. Then Alex' s icy words: "You took something beautiful and made it ugly, just for attention. You are truly pathetic." His words shattered me, more than any blow. I fled into the cold night, gasping, calling the only person I could think of for a panic attack. I was utterly alone. The next morning, Alex burst into my hospital room, not worried, but furious. The System took over, lashing out with cold, mocking defiance. "Why do you care? I did what you wanted. Sarah won. Isn' t that all that matters?" His rage became chilling. He showed me a wooden bird, a gift I' d carved for him, claiming Sarah had made it. Then the real blow: Sarah needed a kidney-my kidney. "It' s you," he said, his voice leaving no room for argument. "The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. You will do this. You will give Sarah your kidney, and maybe, just maybe, you will have redeemed yourself for a fraction of the pain you' ve caused." I signed the forms in a numb haze. The surgery was a violation, draining me literally and figuratively. Days later, Sarah came to my apartment, radiant, vibrant, full of life. My life. She gloated, then faked an injury, shrieking I' d pushed her. Alex appeared, a mask of primal fury. He didn' t ask. He slapped me, sending me crashing against the wall. "You monster," he snarled. "I am done with you. Stay away from us. Stay away from my family." I was empty, nothing left to take. My phone buzzed. A text from Alex. "My office. Now." It was another task, another demand. But as I sat in his office, I saw it-my mother' s journal, thought lost forever. Sarah walked in, and with a cruel smirk, she took it. Alex, with a mere hesitation, gave it to her. She "accidentally" dropped it into a coffee, ruining the last piece of my mother. As the world went black, a single, horrifying thought screamed in my mind: I cannot escape.
