In her past life, Selene lost everything. Betrayed by her stepsister, crippled by poison, and abandoned by the mate she trusted, she died broken and alone. But the Moon Goddess isn't finished with her. Selene awakens at the very start of her tragedy - young, unbroken, and burning with vengeance. This time, the poisoned drink will not touch her lips. This time, it is her stepsister who falls. Armed with the instincts of an Alpha warrior, the mind of a hacker, and the healing hands of a doctor, Selene is no longer prey. She is the storm. Yet destiny has another twist waiting: the cold, untouchable Lycan Prince - the future King - whose gray eyes once watched her die. Now, he cannot look away. Enemies circle, assassins strike, and secrets unravel. But Selene has sworn: In this life, she will rise. She will rule. And anyone who dares stand in her way will kneel. But there's a problem. Will she be able to recognize and reunite with her fated mate from her past life, while the Lycan Prince's eyes are on her? Will she be able to reunite with her fated mate who risked his life to save her on many occasions? Will the desire for vengeance in her heart enable her to love him the way he deserves? Or will her evil step sister succeed in tearing them apart forever?

Chapter 1 C1

The air had a faint smell of blood. Every breath drained my lungs. I lay across the floor, my cheeks pressed, my legs twisted at angles that brought back painful memories. Once, they had carried me into hunts, into the training yard, into the life I thought belonged to me by my birthright. Now, they have deprived me of the ability to walk or stand.

The pain was sharp, but the silence inside me was worse. My wolf that was my strength, my shadow, was locked somewhere I could not reach. Without her, I felt hollow, like a vessel discarded after it had served its use.

Torchlight flickered across the dungeon walls, shadows stretching thin, then snapping back. For a moment I thought they shifted, mocking me in whispers I couldn't quite catch. Perhaps they were right to laugh.

Because she was here.

Lilith. My stepsister. My traitor.

She was dressed elegantly as if she had dressed for a ball, not a dungeon. Every step she took was deliberate and cruel. Her smile that was once soft and that had fooled me into thinking she loved me, was strange and dangerous now.

I told myself not to look for him, but my eyes still darted to the corners, still searched for Adrian. Fool that I was, I hoped he might come. He never did.

"Look at you," Lilith said. Her voice was smooth as if she were reciting a toast. "Crawling where you always belonged."

The click of her heels echoed until she crouched before me. Close enough that I saw the gleam of triumph in her gaze. She wanted to see fear and pain in my eyes. But all she saw was my disgust for her.

"You wore the crown so well like it was always meant to be yours," she murmured. "You alone were father's heir. Crush of the cutest guy in the pack and Adrian's wife. But where are they now? Hahaha!"

Her laughter echoed through the dungeon, loud and foolish.

My nails dug harshly into my palms. My voice came out ragged but steady: "You twisted them."

Her laugh softened, almost pitying. "Oh, Selene. When will you ever tell the truth? Always lying."

She gestured, and I turned before I could stop myself. My body betrayed me.

He was there. My father. Bound to a narrow bed, wrists tied, eyes dim as dying coals. The man who had once commanded a room with a glance now looked small, as if the air itself had shrunk him. His lips cracked open.

"My sweet Lilith," he whispered.

The sound tore something from me. I crawled forward, every movement a tremor. "Father...it's me. Selene."

But his gaze never wavered. He looked at her the way a starving man looks at food.

Lilith leaned close to my ear, her breath warm, words colder than ice. "Do you understand now? You were never chosen."

My eyes burned with tears I refused to let fall. "You'll lose, Lilith. You think you've won, but you won't....."

A hard slap landed on my left cheek before I could finish, releasing the tears I had held back. My head snapped to the side, my left cheek blazing hot.

"B*tch."

She said, flat and certain.

She recited my failures to add salt to my wounds: Adrian, Father, even my wolf. Each word landed heavy, not because they were true, but because I saw how deeply she believed them.

The dungeon door suddenly slammed open.

"Selene!"

Damian's voice filled the chamber, raw and ragged. He was at my side in seconds, hauling me up as though I wasn't broken. His arms were solid, his grip steady. He made me feel, for the first time in forever, like I wasn't lost.

"Hold on," he said, his voice catching. "I'll get you out. I will end this."

Lilith smiled, not with joy, but with the slow curl of something venomous.

Then Damian shuddered. His strength faltered, poisoned by a force I couldn't see. His arms tightened even as his body betrayed him.

"No," I whispered, terror clawing up my throat. "Not him too."

Yet even trembling, he drew me closer, his breath hot against my hair. "I won't let her take you. Not while I live."

And something shifted inside me. For a heartbeat, I saw her, my wolf. Covered in blood, chained, but not gone. Still breathing. Was she still mine?

Hope flickered, dangerous and fragile.

Damian pressed his lips to my forehead. His voice was steady now, though I felt the tremor in him. "Forgive me."

Forgive him? For what? I was confused.

The world fell into darkness.

I had no strength left to fight, but I had enough for one promise.

If life gave me another chance, I would rise. I would reclaim everything she had stolen. And I would burn Lilith's kingdom to the ground without mercy.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

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 fiancé, 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."

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

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.
