My family was a masterpiece, but underneath, it was rotting. We were the envy of the art world, with my formidable mother, respected father, and charming brother. And then there was me, Chloe, the sensitive artist they cultivated like a prized orchid. But I felt the chill of a long-buried secret, making me a stranger in my own home. Then I met Liam, an architect who built solid things, and for the first time, I felt seen. His love was a warm room in my cold house, and when I became pregnant, I imagined our perfect future. "We're pregnant," I whispered to him, and his face lit up with overwhelming joy. He became the doting husband, planning our child' s future, a warmth I' d craved my whole life. Life was perfect, until the prenatal genetic screening results arrived. He stood rigid, staring at his computer, the warmth draining from the room. "Liam, what is it?" I asked, my voice trembling as he turned, his face a mask of cold fury. "We have to get rid of it," he said, his voice flat, devoid of emotion. "The baby?" I stammered, unable to process his words. "Don't call it that," he snapped back, demanding I terminate the pregnancy tomorrow. Before I could react, my family walked in, and I rushed to them, crying, "Liam... he wants me to have an abortion! He won't tell me why!" My mother' s perfectly manicured nails dug into my skin, her voice like chipping ice. "He's right, Chloe," she said, her grim resolve mirroring Liam's. "You have to do this," my father added, his tone leaving no room for argument. My brother sneered, "Don't be stupid, Chloe. You can't have this... thing." They closed in, calling my child "unnatural" and "tainted." Their persuasion turned to force, dragging me towards a car that would take me to a clinic. I fought, screamed, and clawed, a wild animal fighting for its young. I escaped into a labyrinth of city alleys, their footsteps pounding behind me. I slipped, crashing hard, and felt a sharp, searing pain. A crimson stain spread across my dress; my baby, my innocent life, was slipping away. My family stood over me, their faces impassive, utterly devoid of love, as I blacked out. I awoke in a sterile mental institution, committed by them. For months, I was a ghost in a white gown, drugged, tormented, chipped away until I died, alone, my family' s secret safe. Then, I opened my eyes. I was in my bed, whole, my stomach flat. I scrambled for my phone; it was the day the genetic test results were due. The day my world had ended. And it was all about to happen again. But this time, I had a memory, a prophecy. I had died, and now I was back, filled with a cold, clear purpose: to get the report, to understand why, and to make them pay.

Introduction

My family was a masterpiece, but underneath, it was rotting.

We were the envy of the art world, with my formidable mother, respected father, and charming brother.

And then there was me, Chloe, the sensitive artist they cultivated like a prized orchid.

But I felt the chill of a long-buried secret, making me a stranger in my own home.

Then I met Liam, an architect who built solid things, and for the first time, I felt seen.

His love was a warm room in my cold house, and when I became pregnant, I imagined our perfect future.

"We're pregnant," I whispered to him, and his face lit up with overwhelming joy.

He became the doting husband, planning our child' s future, a warmth I' d craved my whole life.

Life was perfect, until the prenatal genetic screening results arrived.

He stood rigid, staring at his computer, the warmth draining from the room.

"Liam, what is it?" I asked, my voice trembling as he turned, his face a mask of cold fury.

"We have to get rid of it," he said, his voice flat, devoid of emotion.

"The baby?" I stammered, unable to process his words.

"Don't call it that," he snapped back, demanding I terminate the pregnancy tomorrow.

Before I could react, my family walked in, and I rushed to them, crying, "Liam... he wants me to have an abortion! He won't tell me why!"

My mother' s perfectly manicured nails dug into my skin, her voice like chipping ice.

"He's right, Chloe," she said, her grim resolve mirroring Liam's.

"You have to do this," my father added, his tone leaving no room for argument.

My brother sneered, "Don't be stupid, Chloe. You can't have this... thing."

They closed in, calling my child "unnatural" and "tainted."

Their persuasion turned to force, dragging me towards a car that would take me to a clinic.

I fought, screamed, and clawed, a wild animal fighting for its young.

I escaped into a labyrinth of city alleys, their footsteps pounding behind me.

I slipped, crashing hard, and felt a sharp, searing pain.

A crimson stain spread across my dress; my baby, my innocent life, was slipping away.

My family stood over me, their faces impassive, utterly devoid of love, as I blacked out.

I awoke in a sterile mental institution, committed by them.

For months, I was a ghost in a white gown, drugged, tormented, chipped away until I died, alone, my family' s secret safe.

Then, I opened my eyes.

I was in my bed, whole, my stomach flat.

I scrambled for my phone; it was the day the genetic test results were due.

The day my world had ended.

And it was all about to happen again.

But this time, I had a memory, a prophecy.

I had died, and now I was back, filled with a cold, clear purpose: to get the report, to understand why, and to make them pay.

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.

I was the Pack’s shame, a twenty-year-old "Runt" who had never shifted. Yet, I clung to the desperate hope that Alpha Marcus, the man I had loved my entire life, would finally claim me at the Full Moon Gala. Instead, he stood before the entire Pack with Izzy, a woman who looked at him with hunger rather than love. With eyes as cold as stone, he didn't just ignore me; he destroyed me. "I, Marcus Thorne, reject you, Olivia Hayes." The rejection snapped our bond, but the nightmare was just beginning. When Izzy framed me for poisoning her, Marcus didn't hesitate. He chained me in the dungeon and wielded the silver whip himself. Each lash burned like liquid fire, tearing through my skin as he demanded a confession I couldn't give. I woke up in a pool of my own blood, only to hear the nurse whisper the truth I was never meant to know. The silver toxicity hadn't just broken my body; it had killed the unborn pup I didn't even know I was carrying. Marcus had whipped the mother of his own child to protect a liar. He had killed his heir for a woman who was faking her own pregnancy. That night, as I crawled through the mud to escape, the weak Runt died. In the freezing waters of the river, my bones snapped and reshaped. I didn't just shift; I became the legendary White Wolf. And when Marcus finally realized the truth and came begging on his knees, I looked at him with my new, violet eyes and prepared to give him the rejection he deserved.
