Alpha's Claim Chapter 1 A Life in Hiding

Mira

The sound of a breaking plate echoed down the hallway before I even turned the knob to enter the kitchen. I stood there for a heartbeat longer, hand frozen on the door, breathing in the silence that followed.

Then her voice, sharp and seething. "Mira! Did you forget how to walk faster, or are you just enjoying your usefulness today?"

I pushed the door open, and I stepped into the kitchen like a prisoner entering a cell.

My stepmother Talia stood at the centre of the room, one perfectly manicured hand on her hip, the other pointing to the shattered plates like it was my fault gravity existed.

Her hair was curled in a lazy bun, not a single strand out of place. Besides her, my half-sister sat at the counter scrolling on her phone, smirking like she was waiting for her cue in the cruel play.

"You've got eyes, don't you? Clean that up." Talia's voice grated, cold and impatient.

I swallowed whatever words rose up my throat. Anger was dangerous. Anger made her worse. So I dropped my school bag by the door and crouched, carefully picking up each piece of porcelain. The floor was cold against my knees. The edge of the shards bit into my fingers.

"Be careful," my half-sister Sia said with mock sweetness. "We wouldn't want you bleeding on the floor you haven't mopped yet."

I didn't reply.

There is power in silence; it made them think they'd won.

But I knew better. Every scar they left only built the armour around me tighter.

I finished cleaning and headed to the sink to wash dust off my hands.

My fingers trembled as I turned on the water. Maybe it was exhaustion.

Maybe something else. I hadn't slept much again-same old dreams. Same blurry flashes of my mum, a storm, a scream, a shadow in the woods, and then...nothing. Just that burning emptiness where her voice used to be.

She died nine years ago. I was ten.

They said I killed her.

I blinked hard and shoved the memory away like a splinter under the skin. Some pain didn't fade. You just learnt to limp with it.

"Mira". My stepmother's voice again. I turned her eyes to rank over me. "After school, don't even think of coming straight home. The car shop called. Their cleaning girl quit again. You'll take over until they find someone less pathetic."

I opened my mouth.

"Don't talk back." She snapped. "You're already eating free food under my roof. Might as well work for it."

Free food. Right. The food I bought from my part-time jobs last week. The one they devoured while I stayed hungry and silent.

I grabbed my bag and headed for the door. Just before I left, I heard her whisper to Sia, "If only she'd died with her mother."

The door clicked behind me before I let the tears sting my eyes.

The cold wind bit into my face as I stepped out. Autumn in this town always had a certain cruelty to it-like even the weather knew how to bruise. I kept my hood up and headphones in, not because I listened to music but to drown the whispers when I passed by the others.

They never changed.

"Still hasn't shifted."

"She's 19 and still not wolf embarrassing."

"I heard she's cursed. Something about her mom's death..."

I walked faster. The streets blurred. My body moved on autopilot until I reached the gates of Crescent Hill High.

Inside it was the same story on repeat.

A shove against my locker, laughter echoing in the hallway.

"Ohh, sorry. Didn't see the invincible girls there," Aria sang, flickering her perfect hair. Nelly stood beside her, giggling like a wind-up doll.

I stepped away, gripping my books tight. I'd learnt not to flinch. That only gave them more reason to play harder.

"Still haven't sprouted a tail, runt?"

Aria's smile was all teeth. "Maybe your daddy should have mated with someone more... functional."

The words didn't hurt anymore.

Not because they weren't true. But because pain only mattered when you expected kindness.

And I'd stopped expecting that years ago.

The rest of the day passed in a blur of dull lectures and I didn't return. I worked two hours after school, scrubbing grease off the garage floor and wiping down muddy tires.

By the time I got home, the house was dark. No dinner, of course. Just a cold kitchen and a colder silence.

I stood in front of the cracked bathroom mirror staring at the girl staring back.

Red hair- long curly, impossible to tame . Pale skin. Grey eyes are too big for her face. I looked like a ghost for a girl who never got to be whole.

But it wasn't the hair or eyes that haunted me.

It was the absence of everything else. No wolf. No strength. No shift. Nothing. Like something inside me was frozen. Waiting.

I reached up and rolled back the sleeve of my shirt.

There, hidden beneath years of secrecy, sat the mark I never let anyone see. A soft crescent on the inside of my back- faint , glowing silver in the bathroom light. I can only see it when I use a mirror.

The mark had been there since the night mom died .

And sometimes... just sometimes ... it shimmered when I cried.

I curled up in bed that night without dinner, blankets tucked around me like armor . Somewhere between sleep and memory, I saw it again .

The forest.

The scream.

The blood.

The wolf's eyes staring through the dark.

And a voice-distant and low-whispering words I couldn't understand.

But tonight something changed. For the first time, the voice ended with a word I understood.

"Soon"

I woke up gasping, clutching my wrist.

My bank account showed exactly $42.18, and my student loan notifications were flashing red. I lived in a sweltering Queens apartment with my Aunt Lydia, where the air was thick with the smell of stale frying oil and the constant threat of being homeless. Lydia handed me a grainy photo of a man twice my age and told me she had already "sold" me to him. He was a dry cleaner looking for a wife, and in exchange for my hand, he would pay off her credit cards and my debt. If I didn't show up for the date that night, my boxes would be on the curb by midnight. I arrived at the cafe in a state of panic, my selective mutism making it impossible to even breathe. In the crowded room, I accidentally sat at the wrong table. Instead of the man from the photo, I found myself facing Gerhard Holcomb—the cold, terrifyingly handsome billionaire whose family owned the very museum where I worked. He didn't send me away; instead, he studied my trembling hands and offered me a different deal: a two-year contract marriage, a two-million-dollar payout, and a strict clause forbidding any children. I signed the papers and moved into his Park Avenue penthouse, thinking I was finally safe. But when I went back to the old apartment to retrieve the only memento of my dead parents, Lydia lashed out, leaving me bleeding from a head wound. Gerhard’s retaliation was absolute—he had her arrested and her building foreclosed on within hours, claiming he was simply "protecting his assets." As I recovered in his silent, glass-walled home, I saw a call from a famous socialite flash on his phone, and a cold truth settled in my gut. I wasn't just a wife; I was a placeholder, a silent shield used to fend off the women from his past. I looked at the massive pink diamond on my finger and realized the silence I had lived in my whole life was about to become my most expensive prison. I had traded a life of poverty for a high-stakes game of shadows, and now I had to survive the man who claimed to own me.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancĆ©, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

Inferno Heiress: Freed From Hell To Reclaim My Empire

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancĆ©e. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.
