"I said, leave me alone," I yelled, my voice echoing through my lungs as I struggled to breathe. "Sssshhhhh..." When he leaned closer to my ear, a sense of serenity emanated from him. "It's fine with me even if you don't love me. I'm not going to ask you to love me. I just want you around me because you're my bride, and only I have a right to you," he explained. "So, I chose death over being with you," I spat out the bitter truth, daring to lock eyes with him, which seemed to trigger him even more. "Then die," he said shamelessly. -------------- On her wedding day, Sansa Elsher was taken by an Alpha named Xavier, who claimed her as his bride under the 'Law of Pronouncement of Wonder'-a law that bound her to him even before her birth. To save her lover, Logan, she pretends to be Xavier's wife and is forced to accept him as her mate. Things take a darker turn when Sansa's twisted fate brings her face-to-face with her true mate. Caught in a dilemma, she finds herself unable to deny or accept him at the same time.

Chapter 1 On The Run

My face pressed into the wet, muddy ground, my fingers sinking into the muck. I was in a desperate situation. The monster holding my leg was far stronger than I could handle.

But even in fear, a small spark of determination stayed inside me. I fought back, twisting my body with all my strength to roll onto my back. Seizing the chance, I threw handfuls of mud at his face, which stunned him for a moment.

The stakes were high, and my life hung by a thread. Survival seemed unlikely, and there was no time to pause or catch my breath. I ran against the relentless clock, forcing my aching legs to carry me along the dangerous path in search of safety.

I pushed through the murky waters and navigated debris left by the storm. Every part of my body ached, but I kept moving, aiming for the shelter of a massive tree where I could finally catch my breath and gather my strength.

Suddenly, I heard it-the sound of footsteps getting closer. Each step echoed through the quiet forest, making my heart pound with fear. Panic gripped me-I could feel that something terrible was about to happen. My life felt like it was hanging by a thread.

"We both know you're out of options. Do you really think you can escape me?" he sneered, his voice full of mockery as his eyes scanned the area.

I struggled to catch my breath, hiding behind the thick trunk of an old tree. He was only a few feet away, and I kept moving from one tree to another, trying not to be seen.

His attention shifted when a bird suddenly flew to a different tree.

"Don't test my patience, Sansa," he growled, his voice sharp and threatening.

In that moment, it was clear that Edward Elijah enjoyed seeing me struggle, taking pleasure in my hopeless attempts to escape. He seemed determined to end my life just before the trial, planning to hide the truth with my dead body.

I had never trusted the Oak Pack or their old, strict rules-they felt like a dangerous poison that kept their loyalty in check for generations. Even with Xavier's efforts, the Oak Pack never fully accepted me as one of their own.

Every part of me was bruised, and fresh drops of blood ran down, showing the pain he had caused. Most of the pack didn't know I had escaped or seen the terrible things he had done.

My heart pounded as Edward moved closer, each step bringing him nearer to where I was hiding. I tried to move slowly and quietly, slipping behind a tree, hoping to stay hidden and change my position.

A sharp crack broke the silence as I stepped into the thick underbrush-a mistake I instantly regretted. Edward's sharp eyes found me immediately. Before I could react, his hand shot out and grabbed my neck, lifting me off the ground with ease. Panic washed over me, leaving me unable to even cry out.

"Where do you think you're going?" he growled, his voice full of anger.

My eyes flashed a fierce green, my fangs grew longer, and my claws stretched out-a painful change that showed my life between being human and wolf. But I could never fully shift, always stuck between the two worlds.

"Oh, you weak little bird, you're not one of us," he sneered, enjoying my pain. He wanted my blood and saw me only as his prey and enemy.

"The Oak Pack never lets an enemy escape; that's our first rule," he said, his voice firm.

A desperate urge to scream for help rose in my throat, spreading through my body. But no sound came out as Edward Elijah, the Oak Pack's powerful beta, kept hurting me. The pack was known for being cruel and merciless, and now I was completely at the mercy of their harsh enforcer.

"Isn't it really sad?" Edward shouted, his anger rising. "We accepted you even though you were never truly one of us. And what did you do? You betrayed us!"

My life felt like it was slipping away, every second leaving me struggling for breath. Edward's anger wasn't just against me-it was a betrayal of his Alpha, Xavier. He wanted revenge for the death of his best friend, Levine Ronan, who he believed I had killed-my true mate.

"The guilty will not escape punishment," he muttered, clearly enjoying the thought of hurting me.

Suddenly, a voice cut through the chaos. "Enough," said Adam.

Adam Nigel, another beta, appeared just in time. Edward released his hold on me, giving me a brief moment of relief. I fell to the ground, coughing and struggling to catch my breath.

"What were you doing, Edward?" Adam asked, clearly confused.

"She was trying to run," Edward said stubbornly.

Adam's eyes narrowed. "We're not here to kill anyone."

I watched as Adam knelt down and gently lifted my chin so I could look at him, still struggling to breathe.

"Look at you," Adam said, his voice filled with genuine concern.

Adam looked over my battered body, noticing every bruise and my dirty, bare feet. He seemed to take in everything, trying to understand my pain.

"Why are you doing this to yourself, Sansa? Why are you running if you've done nothing wrong?" Adam asked, his voice full of both confusion and care.

He truly cared about me. He was the only werewolf who had never hurt me, always offering protection from Edward Elijah's attacks.

"Why did you kill him?" Edward's voice broke through the silence, full of anger and curiosity.

Fear surged through me, but I refused to let it control me. I quickly found the courage to respond, using my skill in deception. "Go to hell, Edward," I said, my voice strong.

Even though I was terrified, I kept my brave front. I pushed myself up, leaning on the tree behind me for support.

Edward, full of anger, stepped in front of me, demanding, "Why did you do it?" His voice was sharp and furious.

I ignored his questions, avoiding his intense gaze. Suddenly, he grabbed my hand tightly, stopping me in my tracks. In anger, I pushed his hand away, and he bared his teeth, ready to attack.

Adam quickly stepped in between us, sensing trouble. "Enough, "We're not here to take matters into our own hands, " he said firmly, his voice serious but urgent.

Edward stepped closer, his voice sharp with urgency. "Do you really think Xavier would punish her for her crime? Adam, we need to end this here and now."

"What are you trying to say?" Adam asked, sounding unsure and worried.

"I don't trust Xavier in this," Edward said, his tone full of doubt.

"He is the Alpha," Adam replied firmly.

"He is also her husband," Edward said bitterly.

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.

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?

I sat on the cold tile floor of our Upper East Side penthouse, staring at the two pink lines until my vision blurred. After ten years of loving Julian Sterling and three years of a hollow marriage, I finally had the one thing that could bridge the distance between us. I was pregnant. But Julian didn't come home with flowers for our anniversary. He tossed a thick manila envelope onto the marble coffee table with a heavy thud. Fiona, the woman he'd truly loved for years, was back in New York, and he told me our "business deal" was officially over. "Sign it," He said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He looked at me with the cold detachment of a man selling a piece of unwanted furniture. When I hesitated, he told me to add a zero to the alimony if the money wasn't enough. I realized in that moment that if he knew about the baby, he wouldn't love me; he would simply take my child and give it to Fiona to raise. I shoved the pregnancy test into my pocket, signed the papers with a shaking hand, and lied through my teeth. When my morning sickness hit, I slumped to the floor to hide the truth. "It's just cramps," I gasped, watching him recoil as if I were contagious. To make him stay away, I invented a man named Jack-a fake boyfriend who supposedly gave me the kindness Julian never could. Suddenly, the man who wanted me gone became a monster of possessiveness. He threatened to "bury" a man who didn't exist while leaving me humiliated at his family's dinner to rush to Fiona's side. I was so broken that I even ate a cake I was deathly allergic to, then had to refuse life-saving steroids at the hospital because they would harm the fetus. Julian thinks he's stalling the divorce for two months to protect the family's reputation for his father's Jubilee. He thinks he's keeping his "property" on a short leash until the press dies down. He has no idea I'm using those sixty days to build a fortress for my child. By the time he realizes the truth, I'll be gone, and the Sterling heir will be far beyond his reach.
