I jumped into the freezing Hudson River. Not to kill myself, but to save the only thing I had left-my father's Medal of Valor, which Krystal had thrown into the water like a stick for a dog. I clawed my way up the muddy bank, lungs burning, shivering violently. I looked up at the villa balcony, hoping my Fated Mate, Jaxon, would be looking for me. He wasn't. He was wrapping his arms around Krystal, watching the artificial meteor shower he had arranged just for her. "Anything for you, my love," he said, completely forgetting I was drowning in the dark below. For three years, I believed I had "Wolf Sickness." I took the pills he sent, grateful for his care. But the pills were poison. Wolfsbane. Designed to keep me weak, docile, and unable to shift, just so he could replace me with a more powerful Luna. He called me a liability. He watched his mistress run me over with her Porsche, ordered his guards to silence me, and let her dogs tear my skin. Now, clutching the cold medal, the final thread of our bond snapped. I didn't go back to the pack house. I dragged my broken body to the airport and sent one final text. "I, Alina Phillips, reject you, Jaxon Francis." I mailed him the medical report proving he had been poisoning his own mate, and then I disappeared. By the time he realizes what he's done, the Alina he knew will be dead.

Chapter 1

I jumped into the freezing Hudson River. Not to kill myself, but to save the only thing I had left-my father's Medal of Valor, which Krystal had thrown into the water like a stick for a dog.

I clawed my way up the muddy bank, lungs burning, shivering violently. I looked up at the villa balcony, hoping my Fated Mate, Jaxon, would be looking for me.

He wasn't.

He was wrapping his arms around Krystal, watching the artificial meteor shower he had arranged just for her.

"Anything for you, my love," he said, completely forgetting I was drowning in the dark below.

For three years, I believed I had "Wolf Sickness." I took the pills he sent, grateful for his care.

But the pills were poison. Wolfsbane. Designed to keep me weak, docile, and unable to shift, just so he could replace me with a more powerful Luna.

He called me a liability. He watched his mistress run me over with her Porsche, ordered his guards to silence me, and let her dogs tear my skin.

Now, clutching the cold medal, the final thread of our bond snapped.

I didn't go back to the pack house. I dragged my broken body to the airport and sent one final text.

"I, Alina Phillips, reject you, Jaxon Francis."

I mailed him the medical report proving he had been poisoning his own mate, and then I disappeared.

By the time he realizes what he's done, the Alina he knew will be dead.

Chapter 1

Alina POV:

The air in the Swiss Alps was crisp, clean, and suffocating.

For three years, this "Healer Sanctuary" had been my prison. A golden cage built of snow and invoices paid by the Blood Moon Pack.

I looked down at the letter in my hand-acceptance to the Royal Academy of Arts in Paris. The paper was crumpled from how hard I was gripping it. I had to leave. Today.

I walked to the reception desk, heart hammering against my ribs. My inner wolf, usually dormant and sluggish, stirred with a strange, prickly anxiety.

"I need my medical records," I told the receptionist, a young Beta smelling of lavender and antiseptic. "I'm transferring."

She blinked. "Transferring? But Miss Phillips, Dr. Klein said your treatment for Wolf Sickness requires strict isolation. Your spirit is unstable."

"Just give me the file." I tried to inject authority into my voice. As an Omega, it didn't come naturally.

She sighed, pulling a thick folder from the cabinet. As she handed it over, a loose paper fluttered to the floor. I snatched it up before she could react.

It was a lab report from a year ago.

Patient: Alina Phillips.

Diagnosis: Wolf Spirit Stable.

Medication: High-dosage Wolfsbane-based Suppressants (labeled as Vitamin B complex).

Notes: Orders per Alpha Jaxon Francis. Maintain sedation. Patient must remain unaware of recovery.

The floor seemed to drop out from under me.

I wasn't sick. I hadn't been for a year.

The "vitamins" were poison. Designed to keep my wolf weak, keep me docile. Keep me here.

Jaxon.

My Fated Mate. The Alpha who promised to protect me at my father's funeral was the one poisoning me.

I didn't pack. I didn't say goodbye. I took the first flight back to New York, straight to Crescent City.

The Blood Moon Pack House was a fortress of glass and steel. Nexus Corp operated out of here, a corporate front for the pack's dominance.

I knew the codes. I knew the service entrances my father, a Beta Warrior, taught me before he died saving Jaxon's life.

I slipped into the ventilation shaft near the Alpha's office. His scent hit me instantly-rainstorm and dark chocolate. It used to make my knees weak. Now, it made bile rise in my throat.

But there was another scent. Synthetic roses.

Krystal Gomez.

I peered through the grate. Jaxon stood by the window, looking out over the city. Krystal, the daughter of the rival Gomez Alpha, was draped over the leather sofa.

"When are you going to tell the little Omega it's over?" Krystal asked, checking her nails.

"Patience," Jaxon said. His voice was cold, devoid of the warmth I remembered. "The merger with your father's pack depends on our union. Alina is... a complication."

"She's your Fated Mate," Krystal sneered. "The Moon Goddess doesn't make mistakes, right?"

Jaxon turned. His face was hard. "The Goddess gave me a broken tool. Alina is weak. She has Wolf Sickness. She can't shift, can't produce strong heirs. She's a liability I inherited from a dead hero."

My breath hitched.

"So, you don't love her?" Krystal walked to him, running a hand down his chest.

"I love the power your pack brings to mine," Jaxon said, leaning into her. "You are my Chosen Mate, Krystal. Alina is just a patient."

My wolf let out a high, keening whine in my head. The sound of a bond shattering.

I scrambled back, desperate to escape. I stumbled out of the service exit and ran straight into a wall of expensive fabric.

"Going somewhere?"

Margaret, Jaxon's mother and the former Luna, looked at me like I was something she stepped in.

"I heard everything," I whispered.

"Good." She reached into her purse, pulled out a check, and flicked it at me. It fluttered to the dirty pavement. "One million. Freshly written. Take it and disappear. Die in the Alps for all I care, just stay away from my son."

I looked at the check. Then at the Pack House.

"I don't want your money," I said, hands shaking.

"Don't be stupid," she hissed. "You have no job, no home, and your father's pension is gone. You take this, or you starve in the gutter."

She was right. I had nothing. Survival instinct kicked in.

I bent down and picked up the check. It felt heavy with shame, but it was a lifeline.

"Fine," I said, voice hollow. "My father's death anniversary is in three days. I visit his grave, then you never see me again."

I turned and walked away. I tried to open the Mind-Link.

Jaxon?

Silence. Not ignored-blocked.

He had blocked his Fated Mate.

I was just the decoration at the gala, the dutiful wife of Chicago's Underboss, Dante Moretti. Then my phone buzzed with a photo of his hand on another woman's thigh, taken inside the venue just minutes ago. I finally snapped, leaking the photo to the press to shame him. Dante dragged me home, pinned me to the sofa, and carved a thin line into my collarbone with a switchblade. "You don't get to leave until I say you're done," he warned. But the real devastation came later. An anonymous video file revealed the truth about my mother's "suicide" ten years ago. She didn't jump. My sister, Sofia, pushed her. And Dante? He didn't marry me for power. He brokered a deal with my father to cover up the murder and took me as hush money. I crashed Sofia's birthday party to expose them, but my father slapped me in front of everyone. Dante grabbed my fresh wound and forced me to my knees. "Apologize to your sister," he threatened, "or I bulldoze your mother's grave right now." I swallowed my pride, bowed my head, and apologized. But Sofia just laughed, pulled out a detonator, and pressed the button anyway. "Oops," she giggled as the explosion rocked the ground. "Happy birthday to me." Watching the smoke rise from my mother's destroyed mausoleum, the old Elena died. I vanished into the night, leaving behind signed divorce papers and my bloodied dress. When Dante finally tracked me down, I wasn't hiding in fear. I was standing next to his mortal enemy, Luca Rossi, wearing a massive diamond ring. I handed Dante a cream-colored envelope. "What is this?" he asked, his hands trembling. "An invitation," I said, my voice ice-cold. "To the wedding of Don Luca Rossi and Elena Vitiello."

Three years after I buried an empty casket for my husband, I found him alive in a grocery store parking lot. He was rubbing a stranger's pregnant belly, smiling a soft smile I had never seen in our years of marriage. My husband, the ruthless Don of Chicago, had become "Arthur," a gentle man with no memory of the empire he ruled or the wife he left behind. To protect his happiness, I swallowed my agony and lied. "I am his cousin," I told his pregnant fiancée, Mia. I brought them home to his estate, enduring the torture of watching him give her the tenderness that used to belong to me. But my mercy was rewarded with cruelty. Dante looked at me with cold, unfamiliar eyes and slapped divorce papers onto the table. "Sign them," he demanded, his voice devoid of emotion. "I want to marry Mia before the baby comes. I want a fresh start." He didn't know I was dying of a heart defect caused by the stress of grieving him. He didn't know I stalled for two weeks not for money, but because I wanted to be buried with his name. I died the morning the deadline arrived, taking the secret of my love to the grave. Ironically, that very night, a bullet grazed his temple during an ambush, unlocking the memories he had lost. He remembered the peach orchard. He remembered our blood oath. He remembered that I was his soulmate. He ran to my brother’s gates, screaming my name, blood pouring down his face, desperate to beg for forgiveness. But my brother just stood there, blocking the entrance to the cemetery with a cruel smile. "She waited for you every single day," he spat. "And you killed her."

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.

Too Late: The Spare Daughter Escapes Him

Too Late: The Spare Daughter Escapes Him

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.
