I smelled him before I saw him. Dark cedar and rain-soaked earth. It hit me like a wall, cutting straight through the pine and mud of Briarwood's eastern border, and my knees almost buckled right there in the crowd. No. No, no, no. My wolf stirred — faint, barely a whisper these days — and let out a sound so small and broken it made my chest ache. She knew. She always knew before I did. I pressed my fingertips hard into the inside of my wrist and forced myself to breathe. The wolves around me were already shifting, murmuring, pressing closer to the tree line where our Alpha, Gerald, stood with his Beta and Gamma.

On a freezing night, Mia is beaten, humiliated, and thrown out by the very family she thought might save her—left to die at the gates of the Hart Pack. But when she wakes, she’s back in her childhood bedroom… two years before her marriage to the brutal Alpha Cole, two years before her family’s betrayal, two years before her death. This time, she knows every trap, every cruel game, every knife waiting for her back. And when her manipulative sister Ava tries to set her up, something shocking happens—her powerful brothers seem to remember exactly what they did to her last time. Revenge, survival, and dangerous secrets are about to collide.

My husband, Dalton, publicly humiliated me for the tenth time, flaunting his pregnant mistress, Justine, at a conference for the company I built. I was trapped, paying for my mother' s endless medical bills. But then Justine took it a step further. She went to my mother' s hospital and cruelly told her everything-all the affairs, all my sacrifices. My mother, in her despair, jumped from the rooftop. At the funeral, Justine crashed the service with a brass band, showering my mother' s casket with confetti. "She's just trying to be thoughtful!" Dalton yelled, shielding her as I lunged forward in a blind rage. He shoved me back, his eyes blazing. "Don't you dare touch her! She's carrying my child!" He raised his hand to strike me, and I braced for the impact, my world completely shattered. But the blow never landed. A chillingly calm, powerful voice cut through the chaos. "I wouldn't advise that, Dalton." My estranged, billionaire father had just arrived.

I endured three years of a loveless marriage with my billionaire husband, swallowing his constant insults just to afford my mother's life-saving cardiac care. But everything shattered when Corrin, the woman who framed me with fake scandalous photos in college, returned to New York. Adelbert immediately moved her into our estate, flaunting her as his VIP guest and taking her to family dinners while treating me like absolute dirt. When my mother suffered a massive heart attack, I desperately begged Adelbert to use his top-tier medical connections to save her. He completely ignored my calls, choosing to hold Corrin's hand during her pregnancy ultrasound while my mother flatlined in the ICU. I later discovered a horrifying truth. Corrin was the one who anonymously leaked fake financial documents about my family to the press, intentionally triggering my mother's heart failure. I had sacrificed all my dignity for this marriage, only to be humiliated and watch my mother almost die at the hands of his pregnant mistress. How could Adelbert be so blindly devoted to a manipulative monster while looking at his own wife with pure disgust? I taped our torn prenuptial agreement back together, slammed the divorce papers onto his desk, and packed my bags. "I am throwing away a piece of garbage that has disgusted me for three years." This time, I was going to make them bleed.

The September sun bathed Seattle in golden light as I checked my watch and quickened my pace. I had just enough time to grab coffee before my afternoon meeting with the Richardson Enterprises marketing team. My husband Darius had been unusually busy this week, claiming a series of emergency client meetings that kept him working late. I'd learned to accept his demanding schedule—it was part of being married to one of Seattle's most promising business executives. The downtown streets hummed with midday energy as I approached The Daily Grind, my favorite coffee shop. Its large windows offered a perfect view of the park across the street, where Little Sunshine Daycare had set up what appeared to be a birthday celebration in their outdoor play area. Children's laughter carried through the air, bringing an involuntary smile to my face. I ordered my usual latte and found a seat by the window, absently watching the colorful party. A little girl in a pink princess dress stood at the center of attention, her dark curls bouncing as she jumped with excitement. Something about her seemed oddly familiar, though I couldn't place why.

A Christmas Eve confrontation shatters Steven Harris's world when his pregnant wife Amy is violently pushed by his sister Jessica, triggering a life-threatening emergency. As Steven races to save his family, he uncovers a web of decades-old lies.

My perfect marriage to Don Dante Moretti, the most powerful man in the New York mob, ended the moment my father died. I was twenty-four, pregnant with his heir, and I believed I was his queen. But for two days, while I planned a funeral alone, my husband was unreachable. Then a friend sent me a photo. Dante in London, his hand tangled in the hair of the woman beside him. It was my cousin, Valentina. He came home with lies about a dead phone and a difficult summit. That night, I found his private journal, and my world disintegrated. He had married me because I had "Valentina’s eyes." I was a substitute. Our unborn child wasn't a product of love. It was a project. A girl he planned to name Elena, after Valentina, calling her a "perfect, tiny piece of the woman I can never truly possess." I wasn't his wife. I was a stand-in. The love I felt for him didn't just die. It was murdered. The next morning, I slid a folder across the kitchen island. "Donation forms," I said. He didn't even look before scrawling his signature on what were actually our finalized divorce papers. His arrogance was my weapon. As he slept beside me that night, smelling of lies and my cousin, I made an appointment at a private clinic. He wanted a legacy? I would give him nothing.

I woke up ten days after being reborn, right on the day of my engagement to the ambitious prosecutor, Barrett. Before the ceremony, my illegitimate half-sister, Karly, intercepted my heirloom brooch. Also reborn, she smugly stole my fiancé, desperate for the glorious future of a powerful politician's wife. "He needs a wife who can help him rise, not an empty porcelain doll." She didn't know that in our past life, Barrett had ruthlessly traded me to a terrifying Mafia Don just to secure his political future. I happily let her take my nightmare, but my brief taste of freedom shattered instantly. To maintain power, my family's Matriarch ruthlessly married me off to the notorious Carney mafia family instead. On my wedding night, my playboy husband abandoned me for his screaming mistress, leaving me completely humiliated in front of the entire estate. The next morning, my vicious mother-in-law tried to hand me the family's financial ledgers. It looked like the ultimate power, but I knew it was a gilded trap meant to make me the scapegoat for their rotting, bankrupt syndicate. Karly paraded her perfect new life, waiting for me to be devoured by the underworld. My new in-laws laid deadly traps at every turn, expecting me to quietly drown with their sinking ship. Even the Dark Don of Chicago was stalking me from the shadows, furious that I had been given to another man. Everyone thought I was just a helpless pawn trapped in a monster's cage. But I was no longer the naive girl from my past life. Since they decided to throw me to the wolves, I would make sure I had the teeth to tear this whole world down.

I stepped back from the easel, my fingers trembling slightly as I examined my work. Two years. Two years of painstaking restoration work on this Renaissance masterpiece, and today it was finally complete. "Perfect," I whispered to myself, unable to contain the smile spreading across my face. The canvas gleamed under the soft lighting of the Murray estate's private library. I'd spent countless nights here, working until my eyes burned, but it had been worth every moment. The vibrant colors of the Italian landscape had been carefully brought back to life beneath my hands, each crack and fading pigment lovingly restored to its original glory. "It's like you've breathed life back into it," Aurelio had said when he'd last visited my progress. His rare smile had made my heart skip then, just as it did now thinking about his reaction. I glanced at my watch.

I stood at the edge of the grand hall, my fingers trembling around the ceremonial silver goblet. Five years of practice had taught me how to move through these events like a ghost—seen but not truly present. The annual inter-pack alliance ceremony was the most important diplomatic event of the year, and as Luna of the Shadowmoon Pack, my role was simple: smile, nod, and reflect well on my Alpha. My Alpha. The words tasted bitter in my mind. Marcus Sterling was never truly mine, nor I his. The mate mark on my neck burned with phantom pain, a constant reminder of our fraudulent bond. "Luna Elena," a voice called, pulling me from my thoughts. "The Blackthorn delegation awaits your greeting." I moved forward, the weight of my ceremonial gown dragging behind me like chains. The visiting Alphas and Lunas stood in a semicircle, their eyes calculating as they assessed me—the famously quiet, submissive Luna of the powerful Shadowmoon Pack.

For three years, I wasn't a foster child. I was a living, breathing cure. Hidden away in the attic of the Thomas mansion, my sole purpose was to keep their precious daughter alive. Every week, they drained my blood to treat her rare disease, leaving me anemic, scarred, and invisible. I was the "walking blood bag" from the wrong side of the tracks-a stray they'd reluctantly taken in. The day Katharina was finally cured, I overheard the truth. "That walking blood bag has served her purpose," the grandmother hissed. "We are done with her." They threw me out into a freezing rainstorm, tossing a crumpled check at my feet like a tip for a beggar. Payment, they said, for the years I'd "leeched" off their family. Payment for the six thousand milliliters of blood they'd stolen, for the chronic anemia, for the scars. I shredded their charity in front of their faces and walked into the storm. They laughed, screaming that I'd be back, that I'd be begging on the streets by morning. But as I stood alone on that dark road, my world shifted. A sleek, black Rolls-Royce pulled up in silence. The door opened, and my real family stepped out. I wasn't a stray from the slums. I was their lost heiress. And the Thomases are about to learn that the girl they bled dry is now the one holding all the power.

I run my family's political dynasty with an iron fist. From my father’s Senate votes to my own calculated engagement, every move is mine to control. Then, in a single evening, my ambitious stepmother made her play. She used our housekeeper as a spy and orchestrated a scandal involving my fiancé and stepsister, designed to shatter my reputation and power. They thought they could break me. Within twelve hours, the spy was dead on the marble floor of my foyer. My fiancé’s family was blackmailed into silence. My stepsister was exiled to a Swiss boarding school, and I stripped my own father of his authority for his weakness. As for my stepmother, Bronte, I had her declared mentally unstable and forcibly taken to a remote facility in Montana, completely cut off from the world. Everyone saw a cold-hearted coup, but they didn't know the secret I held. I had proof that Bronte had systematically orchestrated my brother’s death years ago, all to position her own son to inherit everything. This wasn't about power; it was vengeance. But winning the war at home has put me on a much deadlier board. Now, I'm preparing for a dinner with Eldridge Marsh—the most dangerous man in Washington—who wants to decide if I'm a player he can use, or a threat he needs to destroy.

Together, they framed her using fabricated photos, shattering her reputation and dignity in one cruel move. Heartbroken and humiliated, Melinda fled.

The morning light streamed through the glass walls of Ephraim's penthouse solarium, casting prisms across my lap. I adjusted my position on the white leather chaise, angling my private tablet away from the door. My heart hammered against my ribs as I stared at the screen. "Ms. Harrison, we are pleased to inform you that your application for the senior designer position at Blackwell & Associates has been accepted..." I traced my finger over the words, reading them for the fifth time. A job offer. In London. Under a name that wasn't Hailey Jenkins, the girl who belonged to Ephraim Ellis. The tablet felt hot in my hands—dangerous, thrilling. For ten years, I'd existed within the boundaries Ephraim had drawn for me.

I found it by accident. Or maybe some part of me had been searching all along. Michael's phone pinged while he was in the shower. A casual glance at the screen turned into something else entirely when I noticed a notification from a photo app I'd never seen him use. He'd always been protective of his phone lately—a new habit I'd quietly cataloged along with the late nights at the office and the sudden work emergencies that pulled him away on weekends. The bathroom door was closed, steam curling beneath it. The shower still running. My fingers moved before my mind could catch up. The first few photos were innocuous—downtown Portland skylines, a coffee shop I didn't recognize, a sunset over the Willamette. Then I swiped again and my breath caught in my throat.

After returning home from the pack’s maternity center with my newborn, I was greeted at the door by a young nanny whose demeanor felt more suited to a Luna than a caregiver. She quickly directed me to the dining table for lunch. As she served Romeo, the former Beta of the Silver Moon Pack, a bowl of stew, my baby’s cries interrupted the moment. With a sharp tone, she addressed me: “The pup’s crying. Shouldn’t you be tending to her instead of sitting here?” “Isn’t this what you should know as a new mother?” Her words left me simmering with anger, but Romeo simply accepted the stew, adding impatiently: “Why let her cry when you could attend to her? Didn’t your mother teach you anything?” “Having a pup doesn’t mean the world revolves around you.” *** Cocooned in the hospital blanket, I crossed our front door and was taken aback by the sight of the young nanny. Confused, I looked at Romeo, who grinned as he slipped on his house slippers, saying: “I spent thirty grand on this highly educated nanny for you. She’s all about scientific pup care.” “Mina graduated with a nursing degree from a prestigious university—far better than those who undergo short training courses.” “Trust me, love, this month will be unforgettable.” His self-satisfied look implied I should be grateful. Stifling my irritation, I slipped into the disposable hotel slippers she had set out for me. “Romeo, you guys came just in time.

Raven was a wolf whose family was Unknown. She knew what her fate was so she never bothered to aspire to be anything. Her Alpha hosted a ball every two years where he invited wolves from different packs all over. She and her adopted mother served in the balls every year since she could hold a plate. Alpha Roy and Alpha Roman of the Luna's Den were one of the most powerful Alphas.They were feared by many because of their fearlessness and fierceness. They were destined to have the same mate. They had looked for their mate for years so they decided to pick a chosen mate.  The invite to attend the ball at Attic Moon pack was what stopped them from performing the Luna's rights. They went with their chosen to the ball. They were suprised when their wolves started getting antsy. They were even more suprised to find out that their mate was an Omega. Raven could not sense them much because of her weak wolf. Alpha Roman decided that they take Raven with them to find out why the moon goddess would peer them with a weak Omega. They also knew that their wolves would lose their sanity if they left Raven behind. At their pack they had to protect her from enemies both outside and inside the pack. Someone was hell bent on having her. They had to find out who while making sure no one discovered their true feelings for Raven. Raven too has to find out who she truly was. It became a roller coaster of danger, heartbreak and eventually triumph.

The world tilted beneath me as I missed the last step. One moment I was carrying a basket of laundry down our spiral staircase, the next I was tumbling through air, unable to brace myself. The wooden steps rushed up to meet me, each impact a dull thud against my body that I couldn't feel. That was the curse of my condition—congenital insensitivity to pain—I could break every bone in my body and never know it. I landed in a heap at the bottom, the laundry scattered around me like fallen leaves. Something warm trickled down my forehead, pooling near my eye. Blood. I touched it with trembling fingers, watching the crimson stain spread across my pale skin. This was bad. I needed help.

“Congratulations, Mrs. Gray. You are pregnant!” Valerie thought her world had fallen apart after learning she was pregnant with Mason's child, causing her to change her mind and fly away from the mess she started. Forget her plan to end Mason's life and ruin everything he had. She's willing to forget the fact Mason killed her father for the safety of the child in her womb. To leave everything behind, including Mason. ~~~~~~~ After Valerie's dad died, she changed her mind and wanted to use the power she inherited to kill the person behind her father's death, Mason Gray.

What if Mason finds out about her pregnancy and is willing to forget the past? Will she accept him, or will Valerie keep her decision to live far away from him?

My knees ached from scrubbing the marble floors of the grand hall, but I didn't dare slow down. Luna Loretta had made it clear this morning—every inch had to gleam before tonight's Mate Ceremony began. "Still on your hands and knees, Camille?" Shiloh Moore's sickeningly sweet voice drifted down from above me. I looked up to find her standing there in a stunning crimson gown that probably cost more than I'd ever seen in my life. "How fitting for a wolfless Omega." I bit the inside of my cheek and returned to scrubbing. Ten years in this pack house had taught me that responding only made things worse. "You know," Shiloh continued, examining her perfectly manicured nails, "I almost feel sorry for you. Eighteen years old and still no wolf. The Moon Goddess must have forgotten you exist." Her laugh echoed through the empty hall. "At least you'll get to watch from the servants' corner when Brendan announces his chosen mate tonight." My chest tightened at his name.

The Silver Moon Pack’s banquet hall was alive with chatter and laughter, the air thick with the mingling scents of pine and fresh earth—typical of our gatherings. My birthday party was in full swing, and yet, my attention was drawn to Ellie Perkins, my childhood friend from the Crimson Fang Pack. She stood across the room, her presence as magnetic as ever, her soft floral scent drifting toward me even through the crowd. Beside me, Loretta Richardson, my mate—though the bond felt more like a chain than a connection—sat quietly, her hands folded in her lap. Ellie had always disliked strawberries, and I’d made sure the caterers avoided them in the desserts. But when the strawberry cheesecake was brought out, I turned to Loretta, ignoring the warning in Makenzie Grant’s eyes. “Come on, stop being so dramatic,” I said impatiently, pushing the plate toward Loretta. “It’s just a slice of cake.” Loretta hesitated, but under my expectant gaze, she took a bite. Within minutes, her breathing grew labored, her face pale. Makenzie was instantly on her feet, her voice sharp.

I spent my whole life hating the Red Canyon Pack. My father raised me to be the perfect Alpha daughter, ready to continue our century-old feud. Then the moon chose Asher Steele as my mate. The son of my greatest enemy. The man I should kill, not kiss. Our bond threatens everything I believed in. My pack calls me a traitor. His pack wants me dead. But when hunters target both our families, I realize the real enemy has been playing us all along. Now I must choose: honor my father's hatred or fight beside my fated mate to save everyone I love.
