Daria, an orphaned omega, thought finding her mate would save her and give her everything she had ever dreamed of... Until he rejected her, humiliating her before the entire pack. But after one night of unexpected passion, she falls pregnant with his child. Ecstatic, she believes fate has given her another chance, only to learn he wants nothing more than an heir to cure his curse. Heartbroken and betrayed, Daria flees. Years later, she returns, armed with more than she could ever think to achieve. Now, she must choose: let their bond mend what was broken, or let her anger destroy everything he holds dear.

Chapter 1 Rejected by my cursed mate

Daria's POV

My knuckles were bleeding again.

I slowly wiped them on my training pants, leaving dark smears on the rough fabric. The dust from the training yard stuck to every inch of my sweat-soaked skin. Every breath felt like fire in my lungs, and my ribs still throbbed from the last blow. But I pushed myself up anyway, forcing my shaky legs to hold my weight.

The mocking laughter started before I was even fully standing.

"Look at her. She actually thinks she can be a warrior." Marcus, one of the pack's best fighters, didn't bother lowering his voice. His arms were crossed as he leaned against the fence post, a smirk plastered across his face.

"An orphan omega? Please," his friend scoffed, spitting into the dirt. "She should be in the kitchens where she belongs."

I ignored them. I'd had years of practice ignoring the whispers, the sneers, the way pack members looked through me like I was invisible. My parents had died in the Great War when I was three, so I had no family or status. I was just another mouth to feed, another burden the pack tolerated out of obligation.

But I had a dream. Warriors were respected. Warriors mattered. If I could just prove myself strong enough, maybe someone would finally see me as more than nothing.

"Again." Training Leader Garrett's voice echoed across the yard.

I braced myself and raised my fists even as my tired arms shook. We had been at this for hours, and he had paired me against opponents twice my size, every single time. It didn't matter how hard I trained or how much I improved. To him, I would always be worthless.

The wolf he chose to face me this time was built like a mountain, all muscle and bulk. His fist connected with my jaw before I could even think to dodge, snapping my head back. A sharp pain shot through my skull, and the metallic taste of blood filled my mouth.

I fell to the ground, dirt in my mouth as my vision blurred. The blow had knocked the wind out of me, and I gasped, trying to pull air back in.

Somewhere above me, Garrett's laughter was cold and heartless.

"Pathetic," he sneered, his boot slamming into my ribs before I could recover.

I gasped as the air was knocked out of me again, curling up in reflex to protect myself from the pain that shot through my side. My wolf whimpered inside me, retreating deeper into my consciousness. She was weak too. We both were.

"You are nothing," Garrett spat, grabbing a handful of my hair and yanking my head up. His face loomed above mine, twisted with disgust. "Just an orphaned omega pretending to be a warrior. You disgust me."

He raised his hand for another strike, and the pack... they just watched. Dozens of wolves were standing in the training yard, and not one of them moved. Not one of them spoke up. They never did. No one ever helped me. No one ever cared.

I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing for the blow.

But it never came.

Instead, the atmosphere changed. A strong presence swept through the training yard like a storm, heavy and commanding. It was the kind of power that made every wolf instinctively bare their throats, the kind that demanded submission without a single word spoken.

My eyes snapped open, and I noticed the crowd parting. Wolves stepped back without even thinking about it, bowing their heads and lowering their gazes. And then I saw him.

Alpha Lucius.

He walked forward with the confidence of a man who had never questioned his place in the world. Tall, broad-shouldered, and devastatingly handsome. His dark hair caught the sunlight, but it was his golden eyes that held me spellbound.

Even through the pain, I couldn't look away.

"What is going on here, Garrett?" His voice was deadly quiet. The kind of quiet that promised violence if the answer wasn't satisfactory.

Garrett's hand dropped from my hair immediately. He straightened, his expression changing from cruel confidence to something resembling nervousness. "Alpha, I was just..."

"You were just what?" Lucius's gaze cut to him, sharp as a blade. "Beating a member of my pack into the dirt for sport?"

"She is weak, Alpha. She doesn't belong here." Garrett's voice had lost its cruel edge. Now he just sounded defensive, like a child caught doing something wrong.

"That is not your decision to make." Lucius's tone dropped even lower, and the temperature in the yard suddenly seemed to drop with it.

Wolves shifted nervously. I had never seen anyone speak to Garrett like this. He was known for being untouchable, cruel, the kind of wolf who enjoyed inflicting pain and got away with it because no one dared challenge him.

But in the presence of an Alpha, he was nothing.

Lucius turned towards me, his expression softening just a bit as he extended his hand. "Get up."

A spark of hope flared in my chest. Maybe, finally, someone saw me. Maybe this was the moment everything changed.

I slowly reached for his hand, my fingers trembling.

The moment our skin touched, it felt like... lightning.

Every nerve in my body was overwhelmed with sensation. The world seemed to stand still, and all I could feel was the place where his hand had touched mine, like a live wire connecting us. Energy passed between us, wild and untamed and absolutely right. My wolf jumped with a howl of pure joy, throwing herself against my ribs.

"Mate. Mate. MATE."

His eyes widened, the gold starting to glow intensely. His breath caught, and his whole body went rigid as if he had been struck.

"Mate." The word tore from his throat, barely a whisper.

My heart skipped a beat as my wolf continued howling with joy and recognition.

This was it. My salvation, my future, everything I had ever wanted and dreamed of, handed to me in one perfect moment.

The Moon Goddess had given me a mate. And not just any mate, but an Alpha.

Tears welled up in my eyes, not from pain this time, but from pure, overwhelming relief. I wasn't nothing. I wasn't invisible. The bond between us felt alive, beautiful, and unbreakable. This changed everything. He would protect me now. I would finally have a place where I belonged.

But then his expression changed.

The warmth drained from his face as his jaw clenched. Those golden eyes went cold and... empty. Like shutters slamming closed over a window.

"No." He stepped back, ripping his hand away from mine. "I, Alpha Lucius of the Blood Pact, reject you as my mate."

"What?" My voice came out broken, barely a whisper. "No. You can't... why?"

But he didn't answer. He just stared at me with those cold, empty eyes, and in a heartbeat, the bond between us cracked.

Pain ripped through my whole body, like claws tearing me apart from the inside out. My wolf howled in anguish, and the beautiful, perfect connection that had bloomed between us was suddenly torn away, leaving nothing but raw, bleeding wounds.

Breathing became impossible as my lungs refused to work. My mind went blank, and all I could feel was pain.

Blood pooled in my mouth from where I had bitten my tongue, and as I coughed, it splattered across the dusty ground in bright red drops.

The pack gasped, and someone shouted, but the sounds were distant and muffled, like I was underwater.

My vision grew hazy as darkness slowly crept in at the edges. Through the blur, I saw Lucius turn and walk away with a straight back and confident steps, leaving me broken and abandoned in the dust.

"Why?" The question echoed in my mind as the world started to fade. "Why would the Moon Goddess give me a mate, only to have him destroy me?"

The last thing I heard before the darkness took me was my best friend Mira's terrified voice, calling my name.

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 sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.

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.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
