In a single night the humans took everything from her. For seven years, the Omega-Amelia-has burned with one goal: vengeance. But before she can begin her hunt, she must first escape her cage-the Bloodfang pack. Her only way out? The Moonborn trials. A deadly dance with death meant for Alphas and Betas-never for an Omega. But Amelia has tangled with death before and survived. This time, she vows; will be no different. Yet nothing is so simple in a world where a cruel god chases the moon and mad wolf kings wage wars. When she discovers her mate is the Alpha king's son, and finds herself forming bonds she never thought possible again, her path grows more dangerous and the choices she must make, even harder. In a world of: Love found and necessary betrayals. Mad Kings and mysterious princes. Where family and loss are two sides of the same coin. Just how far is Amelia willing to go for her revenge? And what will it cost her- Her heart? Her life? Or worse... her soul?

Crowns and Claws: The Omega's Revenge Chapter 1 Fortune Favors The Bold

I know what I am about to do is incredibly stupid, but I simply have no choice.

There is only one way out of this pack, and it's through the scouts. So I need to join them–no matter what.

The plan is simple, maybe even stupidly straight forward: join the moonborn trials, pass the tests, join the scouts and desert the first chance I get.

It's technically treason, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

It would be a simple plan–if this hag would just leave already. Hag being my uncle's charming wife. With a smile she informs me for the hundredth time of the multitude of chores she has prepared for me today: clean her silver, scrub the floor, dust the shelves, make the beds, yada yada yada. Nothing I haven't heard before.

"Now, off to it girl" she says, locking the door behind her. I don't move immediately, I know she delayed this morning on purpose, fully aware of what today is and not trusting me to obey their order to not go. So I stay still and listen. I hear her breathing behind the door, no doubt hoping I make the mistake of running out believing she is gone.

A minute later she leaves and I move. I rush to the back but I hesitate. "Do the safe thing, Millie. You need to live, for us" Kael's voice whispers in my mind. I should listen. They gave everything for me to be here.

"Fortune favours the bold, Mille" Varek whispers, I smile and go out the door. The sun is high in the sky, but the air smells of rain. I can still make it if I cut through the market.

The market is busier than usual today but I'm not completely surprised. Today is the start of the moonborn training, a great honour in the pack and if you survive you get to join the pack warriors or the scouts.

Following tradition, parents of today's applicants would prepare a feast for their children to celebrate being accepted. A wholesome gesture if it wasn't the cause of my current dilemma.

I weave through the crowds slowly, I can't rush and risk offending some beta or worse an Alpha. That would certainly put an end to my plans, and I'll have to try again in a year's time.

I am halfway through the market when I hear her. "Let go of me".

I turn my head to the source of the plea to find a hooded girl struggling with a guard. A stupid thing to do, but I can hardly be the right person to tell her that.

From her attitude to a beta guard, I can clearly tell she's an outsider and as expected the guard looks to be getting annoyed with her.

He could kill her, it wouldn't be the first time a beta guard would take a life because of a minor inconvenience.

I look to the sky again. I'll barely make it if I keep going. But I can't turn away.

"Leave the girl" Riven's voice this time, the logical one. But I am at heart illogical, so I do the stupid thing and move towards the girl and the guard.

"You continue to test my patience, girl" the guard growled "show me your entry permit this instant"

"And I told you I forgot it back at my lodgings" the girl replies "I can go back and get it".

"You think I'm a fool?" the guard questions. The guards usually are but the unspoken rule is not to tell them and definitely avoid getting them to assume that's what you think of them. But this girl clearly didn't get the memo.

I focus my sight and I see his aura around him, the appropriate size for a beta, and it's flowing relatively well with small spikes. Meaning he's annoyed but not completely angry yet.

"Apologies sir" I start "why don't I follow her back to her lodgings and return with the permit. Instead of wasting your valuable time"

Getting closer I recognize him and he me. Great, this might be easier than I thought it would be.

"Amelia?" He asks.

"Yes sir" I reply

"You would take responsibility for this girl?" He asks.

"I would sir," I lie. Once he is out of sight I plan on sending this stranger on her way and heading to registration.

Once I become a cadet, not even the guards can touch me. Killing a cadet is solely reserved for their fellow students and the trials. I would have to register first though, but I'll be fine.

I still have time.

I see the slap coming, but I don't dodge. Dodging just invites more attempts, learned that the hard way. So I take the hit and I meet the ground. So much for easy.

"Walk away omega. Before I give you another one" he says.

"I told you, Millie" it's Riven's voice again. "You should have left the girl"

I have no idea what I was thinking. An omega stopping a beta guard from killing someone. What a bad joke.

"How dare you do such a thing" it's the strange girl again. "Hitting someone for no reason, is this how things are done in the bloodfang pack?"

This girl might be crazy, talking to a beta guard like that is suicide. Great, I risked everything to save a crazy person.

The guard moves to grab her again and she removes her hood "Why you-". He freezes. And I don't blame him.

She is beautiful, her golden hair shimmers in the sunlight and her eyes the most beautiful shade of blue, but it's not her beauty that stuns the guard.

It's the wolf mark on the side of her neck.

So bright and bold. An Alpha. I risked everything to save an Alpha from a beta guard. I would have preferred if she was crazy.

"I–why–I didn't know," he stutters. "Forgive me"

The girl looks surprised at this change in his behaviour. But here in the bloodfang pack, strength is everything and everyone knows their place. Except for me of course.

She turns to me now, stretching her hand for me "are alright?"

I don't answer, instead I pick myself up and run into the crowd as I hear her call out to me. I already wasted too much time.

I get to the arena to see everyone already seated. Last to arrive, not a very good start. I hurry to the instructor as he moves away from the entrance.

"I want to register!" I yell.

He turns slowly, "and who might you be?"

"Someone ready to serve the pack" I say, panting.

"You're late" he says with a tinge of annoyance "Your name and class, child"

"Amelia Wr–" I nearly choke on my original name. "Amelia Dane, sir. Omega"

"Dane?" He questions, glancing at the students already seated in the arena. His eyes find–Talia Dane, my cousin, and she looks absolutely furious.

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I've returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders-the man I was told was a crippled recluse-intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I'd cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent-the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower's security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy-Archibald's secret son-wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald's face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

Roderic Penn

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.
