She was born to serve, never to dream. Ravyn spent her life caged in abuse and servitude, an orphan raised on bruises and silence. Her only hope? The sacred bond of a mate. But when her destined mate, Prince Lucien, rejects her in front of the world, she's cast aside like nothing more than a stain on royal blood. Then she's forced into marriage with Darius Blackthorn, a cursed, dying prince, broken in body and hunted by traitors. Her new role? Be his burial bride. But Darius, cold and cruel at first glance, is not what he seems. Beneath the rot and resentment, Ravyn uncovers something rare: kindness. Trust. A man worthy of her love. And when her blood reveals a secret powerful enough to save him, she offers everything-her heart, her body, even her future. Only to be betrayed. Years later, a queen rises from the shadows. She wears Ravyn's face, bears Ravyn's fury, but carries none of her mercy. She did not return for forgiveness. She came for vengeance. Bound to the Dying Alpha Prince is a tale of survival, betrayal, and rebirth. Where love blooms in ruin, and a girl who was meant to mourn... learns to burn.

Bound To The Dying Alpha Prince Chapter 1 The Caged Howl

Ravyn's POV

"Please! Please stop! I swear I won't rest anymore. I-I'll keep working. Just tell me what you want, just stop!"

My voice broke with desperation, echoing in the cold stone room. But the blows only got harder.

"Ungrateful little wretch! We feed you, clothe you, let you stay under our roof and this is how you repay us. By slacking off?"

Her voice struck deeper than her fists.

"And wipe that look off your face. If you glare at me again, I'll claw your eyes out myself."

Kimberly-my so-called foster mother snarled the words like venom. I have no memory of my real parents. The Ashridge family claimed they found me in the woods, bleeding and half-eaten by a lion. They 'rescued' me. But they didn't save me.

They enslaved me.

The food they gave me? Scraps, picked clean by others. The clothes? Threadbare rags cast off by the maids. The home? A mildew-infested shack tucked away at the edge of the estate. It barely kept the cold out. I had been their maid, their servant, their scapegoat. Since I was old enough to walk, I've toiled for their approval. Cooking, cleaning, tending livestock. But to them, I was less than the servants. Less than human.

If I'd known what their version of 'mercy' looked like, I would have chosen death that day in the forest.

I turned eighteen today. At midnight, I would finally gain my wolf. That sacred moment I had waited for my entire life. Just one day, just one I wanted to rest. But when I hesitated at another pile of chores, Kimberly snapped.

Her slap whipped across my face, pain blooming instantly. My vision swam. The kicks came fast, sharp and punishing. Each strike lit my nerves aflame. I crumpled, weak and unable to shield myself. When they were done, they left me crumpled in the barn, like discarded refuse.

Tears carved hot trails down my cheeks. My body trembled.

"Moon Goddess," I whispered into the dark. "Please... if you're real, grant me a strong wolf. Let me break free. Let this be the end of my cage."

Midnight crept in quietly. The moonlight filtered through the wooden cracks in the barn walls, bathing the floor in silver.

And then I felt it.

A surge. Fierce and wild. It roared through my veins like a storm waking from centuries of slumber. My bones ached and cracked. Fire danced beneath my skin. I screamed, not from fear, but from raw power bursting to life.

Then everything changed.

I shifted. My form expanded, reshaped. Fur silver as moonlight covered me. In the reflection of a puddle, I caught sight of her, my wolf. Powerful. Elegant. Breathtaking.

But my body, battered and broken, could not hold the form. Darkness dragged me under.

When I woke up, I was back inside the Ashridge home. Dazed. Weak. My body is still aching.

"Put this on," Kimberly snapped, tossing a white dress at me. Her eyes gleamed with something I couldn't place, malice, maybe. Satisfaction.

I caught the dress, confusion weighing down my limbs.

Then came the voice I hated most-Seraphina.

"Aww, poor Ravyn. That's the nicest thing you'll ever wear. Don't worry. You'll only need it for your wedding today."

Wedding?

My stomach dropped.

"To whom?" My voice trembled.

Seraphina grinned like a cat playing with a wounded mouse. "To Darius. The dying Alpha. You should be thankful. "If it weren't for this, you'd never have gotten within sniffing distance of Alpha blood."

Darius? The one with the reputation for cruelty? The Alpha whose wives kept dying under mysterious circumstances? Rumors whispered he was cursed. Or worse, he was the curse.

They were selling me to a man on his deathbed.

"No. No, I won't do it," I gasped.

Kimberly's face twisted. "You think you have a choice? We've fed you for eighteen years. It's time to repay your debt."

"You didn't raise me! You used me like a slave! You never cared whether I lived or died!"

Her hand flew again. This time, it knocked me off my feet. My cheek burned, but something inside me... cracked.

I wouldn't let them use me anymore. I wouldn't be their pawn.

They locked me in my room. Starved me. Warned the servants to stay away. But I overheard their whispers.

The truth.

Seraphina was supposed to marry Darius. That was the agreement with the royal family. But Kimberly chose me instead, the orphan no one would miss.

That was all I needed to hear.

When they dragged me out to dress me for the ceremony, I didn't resist. I waited.

I watched.

And when the gate opened, I ran.

On my way out, I slammed into someone.

I stumbled back. And that's when I smelled it.

That scent, earthy, wild, powerful. It crashed over me like thunder and wrapped around my senses. My breath caught.

Mate.

My wolf surged within me. I looked up slowly.

Lucien.

My foster sister's boyfriend.

Shock froze me. My body trembled as the others caught up, their eyes bouncing between us.

"Lucien?" Seraphina's voice dripped with disbelief. No. She can't be, she's a filthy Omega. You can't be serious."

Shame flushed through me. I dropped my gaze.

Then his hand gently tilted my chin up. His eyes held mine. Something sparked.

Hope.

Was it possible? Could he accept me?

Lucien was next in line to lead the entire pack. If he claimed me, he could destroy everything the Ashridges had built.

For years, I'd loved him in silence. But I was invisible to him.

Until now.

"Mate," I whispered, my voice trembling.

He smiled.

For a moment, my heart soared.

Then his lips parted and shattered me.

"Honestly... you're a disappointment."

My heart stopped.

"You're nothing like the mate I imagined. It's almost funny, really."

I swallowed, unable to breathe. "What... what did you say?"

He didn't flinch.

"I reject you, Omega. I refuse to accept you as my mate."

And just like that, the bond snapped and I broke.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

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.

Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

Xiao Hong Mao

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

Clara Bennett

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.

The Mad Billionaire's Genius Undercover Wife

I arrived at my uncle’s mansion looking like human trash, clutching a one-way bus ticket and a duffel bag stuffed with old newspaper. My aunt looked at me with pure disgust, as if she could smell the poverty on my skin, but they needed me for one thing: to be a sacrificial lamb. They told me I was getting married to Julian Sterling, a man the elite circles called a violent monster locked in a cage. My uncle forced me to sign away my soul to save their failing fortune, while my cousin Kayla laughed and threw a torn dress at my feet, calling me a "rat from the Rust Belt." At the Sterling estate, the nightmare only deepened. Julian’s stepmother treated me like a horse she was forced to buy, ordering the staff to "burn off" my hair before locking me in the West Wing. I was thrown into a padded cell with a man who lunged at me, his heavy chains rattling against the floor as he roared with an animalistic rage that had already killed two nurses. They thought I was a pathetic, uneducated girl who "didn't read so good." They didn't know I had extorted two million dollars from my uncle before walking out the door, or that I was secretly recording every slap and insult they threw at me for future leverage. I huddled in the corner of that dark cell, letting them watch me tremble on the security feeds. I let Julian’s sister strike me with a riding crop and splash water in my face, playing the role of the clumsy, sobbing idiot to perfection. But the moment the cameras looped, the scared girl vanished. I pinned the "monster" to the floor, cut the neural tracking chip out of his neck with a hidden scalpel, and whispered into his ear as his blue eyes finally cleared. They thought they were sending a lamb to the slaughter. They had no idea they were sending a wolf to hunt a beast.
