Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

Xiao Hong Mao

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband's aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason's coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason's mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I'm starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.

Chapter 01

*Arielle's Pov*

"On your feet, sleepyhead" That was my best friend Ryan's annoying voice grabbing me off the bed.

I grabbed him in annoyance as I tried to fight his grip on me but he was just too strong for me.

"Ahh, fuck you" I screamed, kicking him in his groin before he finally released me groaning in pain while I finally flashed my eyes open, still annoyed.

"I hate you" I muttered with sleepy eyes as I walked over to the bathroom.

"I hate you more" I heard him say from behind me with a little groan.

Ryan Tenebris was the future Alpha of Senhla Pack- a neighboring pack of ColdTown, just across our borders.

Their town was governed by the great ruler- Draven Tenebris, Ryan's Dad.

Ryan might not look or act like this, but his dad was said to be the most powerful Alpha in the werewolf world seeing as he singlehandedly handled the biggest Pack in the werewolf world.

"Hmm" I muttered as I stared at my reflected in the mirror. I looked a mess. In fact, I am a mess. I've been working on my seventh unfinished projects for two months now and it was straining hell out of me. I was working on it yesterday till midnight before I fell asleep on it.

Speaking of project, my eyes snapped to my room where Ryan being Ryan was once again going through my stuffs. "Ryan!" I barged into my room. "Stay away from my stuffs.." I said, snatching my book from him. It's where my drafts are written.

"Fine, get ready Arielle, we don't have time to wait" He said as he walked further into the room.

god, he just won't stop snooping through my stuffs. I looked at the entrance and there was no trace of anyone coming.

"Where's Aiden?" I asked, looking away from the entrance and walking back into the bathroom.

"He should be here.." Ryan trailed off, looking at his watch. "anytime soon" He muttered.

I nodded and went back to looking at how much of a mess I looked and thinking about my future.

I was 17 now, and mateless, where there seemed to be zero hopes for me now, I hoped to find him on my 18th birthday, when most werewolves in ColdTown found theirs. I was an Omega too- to top my misfortunes. Ryan found his mate just two months ago, and Aiden was yet to find his and we're all in the same age range, so maybe there's still a little hope, just a little, 'cause Ryan just turned 18, and Aiden is the alpha prince and princes are prophesied to find their mate exactly on their 18th birthday , it's a thing here in Coldtown Pack.

And me, I'm almost eighteen I'll be eighteen in three months. Can't find a mate, check. Has three unfinished projects, check. Failing my school tests, check. In love with my best friend.. god, not this thought again.

Aiden was the alpha prince, and he would be the alpha soon. I'm just a lowly omega who was yet to find her mate nor her wolf. I can't.. I CANNOT FALL FOR MY BEST FRIEND.

"Don't touch that, she'll get mad and might even kick you in the groin" I heard Ryan say and my heart skipped a bit.

Aiden. He's here. I bit my lips slowly, took a quick glance at myself in the mirror again and fixed my hair hurriedly before walking out of the bathroom slowly.

Aiden Blackwood, my other bestfriend and the one that had my heart.

Isn't it hilarious how I've come to have two Alphas of two neighboring Packs as my bestfriend?
