The Alphas Gone Mate

The Placeholder Bride's Secret Billionaire Revenge

Luo Ye

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran's "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father's multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city's most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins-the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street-and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

Aurora's p.o.v

"Oh my God. Is that her? How shameless" I heard a student speak behind my back as I set foot into the grand hall. An open field for our ceremony.

"I know right. Such a shameless human thinking she could blend with wolf's. Pathetic!" Another replied giggling. I ignored their hateful comments and kept walking in but they were still staring at me. They all are. Those eyes that held nothing but hatred and loathe. I didn't choose to be the way I am. So why were they judging me?

"Ugh, such an ugly clothes. Where did she get it? From the dumpster" a guy said and Chuckled, alongside his fellow. My gaze shifted from the podium where the presenters will announce the graduates, to the boys. They had a sinister look on their faces. I scowled at them but couldn't find a voice to defend myself.

"Oh, look at that face. What are you going to do huh, Rory?" He asked with a smirk.

Nothing. Just nothing. My gaze lowered and I felt a gentle hand on my shoulders.

"Don't listen to them. You're beautiful, your clothes look amazing" Remi said beside me. I glanced at her and she gave me a weak smile before gesturing to an empty seat.

"They're saying the truth" I muttered under my breath, trying to hold the tears from falling. "I will never be a true wolf. I don't even have a wolf"

I felt Remi's face saddened and she retreated her hands.

Four years, four years and it'll be all over soon. I'll go back to my mom. And leave this hell of a college.

I am a human schooling in an all Werewolf's College. Wonder why I'm here?

Well, this is how it all began.

Flashback- four years ago, 18 years old Rory.

"Mom. I finally got the admission" I squealed in my room which echoed throughout our tiny apartment.

I dashed from my room to the kitchen where my mom was making Dinner.

"You did? That's great news" Mom said, turning from the pot she was stirring. She turned to me, her eyes didn't seem pleasing but she was happy.

"Yeah. I did. I finally made it. I'm going to Brooklyn university. The whole world will soon witness the greatest doctor" I said while running up to her and gave her the biggest hug. I was a lot bigger than her at eighteen years old. And I'm not talking about just height, but body size too.

When I was two years old, I was taller than most kids my age, and I have a very unique feature that made people run from me. I had crimson red eyes. My parents had blue eyes, with black hair colour and a fairer skin, while I have tan skin and curly brown hair. I was bullied for having such an odd eye colour and being a child giant while growing up but it never stopped me from having fun.

I pulled away from the hug and stared at my mom but she averted them. It was as if her eyes were trying to tell me something.

'Aren't you a happy mom?' I asked in a low whisper and she turned to me.

"I am happy. Why wouldn't I be? Your father will be the happiest if you ask me" she said as her face formed a small smile.

"Yeah. He would. I told him, I will be the best doctor in no time. Didn't I?" I asked in enthusiasm. Mom let out a small chuckle before turning to the kitchen.

"Aunty Lucy will be here in a minute. We have something important to discuss. But let's have a meal first shall we?" Mom's voice sounded serious but I was too ecstatic to care.

I dash back to my room to inform My best friend, Sadie, about my admission.

Immediately I got to the room, I searched for my phone then picked it to dial her number.

"Hello, what's up?" Sadie said immediately she picked up the phone.

"Guess what?" I asked anticipatedly while pacing up and down.

"What? You know I'm not good at guessing. Just tell me" Sadie replied.

"Ugh. Okay. I just checked and I found my name!" I squealed but she went quiet.

"What are you talking about Rory?" She asked, confused. Guess I'm Too excited that I left out the details.

I finally calmed down after Jumping and rolled my eyes "I got into the school dummy" I replied and I heard her squeal

"You did? Oh I'm so happy for you. I'll let the gang know about this and we'll have a night together" she informed, still ecstatic.
