For six months, I drained my very soul to heal Alpha Coleton's paralyzed spine. I gave so much energy that I lost the ability to shift into my wolf form. I thought when he finally stood up, he would announce to the pack that I was his Fated Mate. Instead, he looked right through me. "You have served the pack well as a servant," he said coldly. Then he welcomed back Charly, the woman who had abandoned him the moment he was injured. To protect Charly from a harmless spider, he shoved me into a purification pool laced with liquid silver. It burned my skin like acid, leaving scars that refused to fade. When Charly faked a cough during lunch, he accused me of poisoning her with Wolfsbane. He didn't check the food. He simply grabbed my jaw and forced boiling hot soup down my throat while I gagged and begged for mercy. "If you hurt her again, I'll make you a slave," he threatened, his eyes full of disgust. I finally understood. My sacrifice meant nothing to him. He would kill me to please a liar. So, I sent a single text: "I accept your rejection, Alpha Coleton." Then I disappeared. Three years later, I returned. Not as a weak, broken healer, but as a legendary White Wolf, with the most powerful Alpha Prime in Europe holding my hand. Coleton fell to his knees in the middle of the airport, tears streaming down his face as he begged for the bond to return. I looked down at him with glowing golden eyes. "You broke me so I could rebuild myself," I said softly. "And I built a world where you don't exist."

Chapter 1

Arminda POV:

The bass at the Blood Moon Pack house was loud enough to rattle the crystal chandeliers, but it couldn't drown out the nervous thrumming of my own heart. Tonight was the Full Moon Party. Tonight, everyone was celebrating the miracle recovery of Alpha Coleton Barron.

I stood in the shadows near the kitchen entrance, smoothing the fabric of my simple grey dress. My hands were trembling-not from cold, but from exhaustion. For six months, I had poured every ounce of my spiritual energy into Coleton's broken spine. I had sat by his bedside while the silver poison from a Rogue's dagger ate away at his nerves. I had taken his pain into my own body until I was too weak to even shift into my wolf form.

But it was worth it.

Coleton stood in the center of the room, tall, broad-shouldered, and radiating power. His dark hair was perfectly styled, and his tuxedo fit him like a second skin. He was laughing at something an Elder said, his teeth flashing white. He looked magnificent. He looked alive.

My wolf, usually dormant from my fatigue, stirred feebly in my chest. Mate, she whispered. He is strong again.

I took a step forward. Surely, tonight was the night. Now that he was healed, he would acknowledge what we were. He would announce to the pack that the humble healer who saved his life was actually his Fated Mate.

"He looks good, doesn't he?" Beta Jaydan appeared beside me, holding a glass of champagne. He gave me a sympathetic smile. "You pulled off a miracle, Arminda. The doctors said he'd never walk again."

"It was my duty," I whispered, my eyes fixed on Coleton.

"Duty?" An Elder nearby scoffed, overhearing us. "It was sorcery. But effective. Perhaps the Alpha will finally cut his little nurse a check."

The music died down as Coleton raised a hand. The room fell instantly silent. This was the power of an Alpha-his mere presence commanded absolute attention.

"My pack," Coleton's voice boomed, deep and resonant. It sent a shiver down my spine, a mix of fear and adoration. "Six months ago, I was a cripple. Tonight, I stand before you, stronger than ever."

Cheers erupted. He waited for them to subside.

"I owe my recovery to the strength of my bloodline," he continued, puffing out his chest. "And, of course, to the loyal service of my staff."

My heart stuttered. Staff?

His eyes scanned the room and landed on me. For a second, I thought I saw a flicker of warmth, the golden flash of his wolf recognizing mine. But then, a steel shutter slammed down over his gaze. It became cold, detached.

"Arminda," he said.

I stepped into the light, my breath catching. "Alpha?"

"You have served the pack well," he said, his tone flat. "As a servant, your dedication is noted."

Servant. The word hung in the air like a guillotine blade. The murmurs started instantly.

"Just a servant?"

"I thought she was... you know..."

"Look at her. She's practically an Omega. She can't even shift. How could she be a Mate to an Alpha?"

Tears pricked my eyes. I wanted to scream that I couldn't shift because I gave my wolf's essence to fix his broken back.

Before I could speak, the double doors at the top of the grand staircase swung open. A collective gasp went through the room.

Charly Mack descended the stairs.

She was stunning. Her blonde hair cascaded in waves, and she wore a white silk gown that hugged every curve-a gown that looked suspiciously like the ceremonial dress of a Luna. Charly was a high-ranking Beta, vicious and calculating, but physically flawless. She had left Coleton the moment he was paralyzed.

Now, she was back.

Coleton turned. I saw his nostrils flare. I saw his knuckles turn white as he gripped his champagne flute. His Inner Wolf was fighting him-I could feel the waves of rejection rolling off him-but his human side, his arrogant, prideful human side, was winning.

"Coleton, darling," Charly purred, reaching the bottom of the stairs. She ignored me completely, walking straight to him. "I'm so happy you're whole again."

"Charly," Coleton breathed.

"I've missed you," she whispered, placing a hand on his chest.

The crowd watched in stunned silence. This was the woman who abandoned him.

Suddenly, Charly gasped. She stumbled back, her heels clicking on the marble floor near the indoor decorative pool.

"Oh! A spider!" she shrieked, pointing at nothing.

It was a pathetic act. But she flailed her arms, "losing her balance" dramatically.

Coleton moved with supernatural speed. But instead of catching her, he shoved the person standing closest to the pool to make room for Charly's safety.

That person was me.

"Move!" he roared, using his Alpha Voice.

The Alpha Voice is a compulsion. It forces a wolf's body to obey against their will. My knees locked, and his hand slammed into my shoulder with the force of a battering ram.

I flew backward.

Splash.

I hit the water hard. But this wasn't normal water. It was the pack's purification pool, treated with trace amounts of liquid silver to cleanse ritual objects. For a human, it was harmless. For a wolf, especially one as depleted as me, it was acid.

"Ahhh!" I screamed as the water touched my skin.

It felt like a thousand hot needles were piercing my pores. The silver reacted with my wolf blood, sizzling against my flesh. I thrashed, trying to find the surface, choking on the metallic-tasting water.

"My dress!" Charly cried out from the dry safety of the deck. "I almost got wet!"

Coleton didn't even look at the pool. He had his arms wrapped around Charly, his face buried in her neck, inhaling her scent-a scent that was likely masked with expensive perfumes to hide her fear.

"Are you hurt?" Coleton asked her, his voice tender.

I dragged myself to the edge of the pool, my skin red and blistering. My grey dress clung to me, heavy and burning. I coughed up water, my body shaking violently.

"Alpha..." I croaked.

Coleton turned his head. He looked at me struggling to climb out, looking like a drowned rat. There was no pity in his eyes. Only annoyance.

"Clumsy," he sneered. "Get out of sight, Arminda. You're ruining the mood."

The pain in my skin was nothing compared to the sound of my heart shattering.

Arminda.

A voice echoed in my head. It was Esther, the former Luna and Coleton's mother. She was watching from the balcony, a glass of wine in her hand.

Mind-Link: Come to my office tomorrow morning. I have a check prepared for you. It is time you moved on. My son needs a strong Luna, not a nursemaid.

I looked up at Coleton one last time. He was leading Charly to the dance floor, his hand resting possessively on her lower back.

My wolf let out a low, mournful whimper and curled into a ball deep within my soul. She was giving up.

"Yes," I whispered to the empty air, dragging my burning body toward the exit. "It is time."

The last thing I remembered was the cold, seeping into my bones on the operating table, as doctors frantically tried to stop the hemorrhaging. Then, the words that shattered my world: "The baby… the baby can' t be saved." My baby, gone. And in a flash, I remembered my husband Liam' s venomous sneer just hours before, "If it' s some other man' s bastard, I' ll kill it myself." The pain of his words, worse than labor, twisted my love for my adoptive brother into pure hatred. I believed he had killed our child. Consumed by rage, I seized a scalpel and plunged it into his chest, gasping, "If my child dies, you' re dying with him." His eyes widened in despair, not anger, as consciousness faded. His frantic shouts echoed, "Save her! Get the best doctors… And find her the best lawyer… Don' t let her find out about her father. Let her hate me forever." Tears fell onto my cheek, hot and foreign. My father? What did he have to do with this? Then, darkness. "Do you, Ava Miller, take this man, Liam Hayes, to be your lawfully wedded husband?" My eyes snapped open. The blinding white of the operating room was gone. I was at the altar, clutching white roses, in a heavy wedding dress. Liam stood before me, young and handsome, looking exactly as he had ten years ago. Our wedding day. The day my nightmare began. I was back. He leaned in, his voice a low, impatient hiss, "Ava, what are you doing? Say 'I do.' Don' t make a scene." The same cold tone, the same barely-veiled annoyance. Nothing had changed. I saw Sarah Johnson in the second row, feigning heartbreak, her hand resting protectively over her stomach. Liam' s innocent victim. Then it all crashed down. Liam' s final words, his protection, Sarah' s true manipulation, my father' s death-it was all a misunderstanding, a mountain of lies. I had died because of it once. I wouldn't walk back into that cage. "No. I don' t."

From Digital Death To Shared Reign

The final memory of my past life was a cold, digital execution. I watched David Chen, my ex-fiancé, on a hundred-foot screen at his company' s IPO launch, alive and destroying me. "Sarah Miller hacked my systems," he' d declared, pulling his new girlfriend, Emily, close. "She tried to con my grieving family and ruin Emily' s reputation." The fallout was immediate: blacklisted, our family' s digital forensics firm raided, our life' s work wiped clean. He' d sneered, "If you can' t bring back my reputation, you' ll pay." I paid. We all did. Until now. The insistent ding-dong of my doorbell cut through the silence, bringing me back to October 12th. It was the day after David Chen was reported dead, the day his parents had come seeking my help. Last time, I' d opened that door, taken their money, accepted their false promises, and poured my soul into his shattered laptop, only for him to rise from the grave to crucify me. But this time, I knew where that path led. I pressed my face against the cool wood, my voice steady. "Go away." Mrs. Chen's muffled plea followed: "Sarah, please! It's about David. We need your help." I' d lied: "No one can truly recover data from a physically destroyed device." The silence on the other side thickened with their disbelief, just before the lock on my door clicked. He was here. Already. The door swung open, revealing David Chen, perfectly alive, his charismatic smile a cruel slash. "See, Mom, Dad? I told you she was hiding something," he said, his eyes locking onto mine, a chilling, possessive fire in them. "She knew I wasn't dead." Emily slipped in behind him, a picture of deceptive innocence. He picked up my brother' s locket, a symbol of my family, and with a flick of his wrist, tossed it out the window. "You're a monster," I whispered. "No," he said, "I'm a survivor. You've had your little rebirth, your second chance. Fine. Let's see what you do with it." He knew. He was acknowledging it, and my blood ran cold. He thought he had won, confining me to this digital graveyard. But he was wrong. He hadn't just confined me. He had given me a target.

The cold, sharp edges of the resin necklace dug into my skin, a constant, physical reminder of Alexander Vance' s twisted grasp. Just hours ago, I, Scarlett Hayes, had almost tasted freedom, only to be dragged back to this gilded cage. He didn't yell, he never did, not at first; his silence was always more terrifying than any scream. "Why do you keep trying to leave?" he would ask, his voice a smooth vibration that set my teeth on edge, entirely oblivious to the torment he inflicted. I longed to tell him that his control was suffocating, or that the fractured pieces of my destroyed art embedded in the necklace were a constant agony. Instead, I met his gaze with a defiant chin, "Maybe I like the exercise." But Alexander Vance was never fooled, not the man who saw me only as a broken bird to be possessed. My wrist still carried the faint scar from the day he broke my drawing hand, a brutal lesson in his twisted love. "Don' t lie to me," he whispered, his thumb pressing down on the mark, "You met with someone. You think there' s a single breath you take in this city that I' m not aware of?" The accusation hung thick and suffocating; he was right – I met Marcus Thorne, his rival, my only hope for escape. But what if my hope was just another cage? What if the man I thought was my savior was just as monstrous and possessive as my captor, seeing me not as a person, but as a prize to be won? The question gnawed at me with chilling certainty, just weeks before Alexander' s grand "Aion Project" launch, a monument built on the ruin of my family' s dreams. This elaborate trap, this calculated play for freedom, was not just about survival anymore. It was about discovering how deep the treachery went.

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.
