No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

Lyra POV

~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~

It was the night of my eighteenth birthday ball party, the night was supposed to be magical.

The chandeliers sparkled like a thousand captured stars above my head. The scent of fresh roses floated through the grand ballroom. Laughter, music, and the rustling of silk gowns filled the air as werewolves from noble bloodlines danced, mingled, and waited for me.

Tonight was my 18th birthday ball. The night I would shift into my true self. The night I would meet my fated mate.

And I believed with every beat of my heart that he would be here,that he would choose me.

I stood near the fountain centerpiece in the middle of the ballroom, my fingers nervously clutching the sides of my sky-blue gown. It shimmered under the lights, hand-stitched by my mother herself. Maddie had spent weeks perfecting it. "You'll take everyone's breath away," she had said as she zipped it up just hours ago, eyes shining with pride.

My father, Richard, had kissed my forehead before we left the house. "Stay calm," he whispered in his deep voice. "Tonight, the moon will show you the path you were born to walk."

The only path I saw led me straight to him. Maximus, the alpha prince of the lycan pack

He wasn't just royalty, He was powerful,Feared, Respected. A man whose mere presence made grown warriors lower their heads. He was tall, broad, with shoulders that carried the weight of a kingdom. His hair was dark like midnight. And his eyes cold, his dark eyes looked like they belonged to a man who had seen too much and still refused to break.

I had loved him since I was a child.

And tonight... I thought he would love me too.

I scanned the crowd, heart thudding, searching for him,and then, I saw him standing by the grand staircase, his hands in his pockets, his black suit hugging his body like it had been tailored by the moon goddess

Our eyes met, I froze instantly

Something shifted in my chest. A warm, tight pull almost like my wolf inside me was reaching out, recognizing something,something real.

Prince Maximus didn't look away, neither did I.

I stepped forward, my heels clicking softly on the polished marble floor. The crowd seemed to part for me as if the universe wanted to make space for what was meant to be.

Maximus didn't move,he just stood there, watching me.

When I finally reached him, I smiled. "You feel it too," he whispered, his voice barely audible beneath the music. "Don't you?"

For a second his expression softened. I saw it,a flicker like he might take my hand like he might say he'd been waiting for me too.

But it disappeared with a blink of an eye.

His jaw tightened. His shoulders squared,his lips parted.

The ball party had begun,alpha king's,princes,beta's were all present to witness my turning of age ball party.

My father Richard made sure that my turning of age party was a big one.

I am in the middle of the ball room, all eyes on I and alpha prince Maximus.

I gazed at Maximus,his lips parted.

"I, Alpha prince Maximus Slade of the Lycan Pack," he said coldly, his voice sharp enough to slice through bone, "reject you, Lyra magnus, as my mate."

The ballroom fell silent,I forgot how to breathe.
