From Blood Bank To Billionaire's Obsession

I was the poor girl from Appalachia the wealthy Copeland family adopted out of "charity," bringing me to a life of New York luxury I could never have imagined. But it was all a lie. I wasn't their daughter. I was a living, breathing blood bank for their precious child, Bridgette, whose life had been secretly saved by my bone marrow. Once I was no longer useful, they decided to throw me away. On the night of Bridgette's lavish engagement party, she and her fiancé framed me. They drugged my water, lured me to a hotel suite, and tore my designer gown to stage a scene. Her fiancé stood over me, his face twisted in disgust. "Did you really think spreading your legs would make me forget where you came from? You're just a trashy hillbilly." Outside on Fifth Avenue, my adoptive parents screamed at me in front of the press, calling me a disgrace. My sister wept, accusing me of trying to destroy her perfect life out of jealousy. They expected me to crumble, to become the pathetic scandal they could discard like garbage. They thought they were dealing with a scared, helpless girl from the mountains. But they made a fatal mistake. The soul of that poor girl was already gone. And I, the top-tier operative known as Glacier, had just woken up in her body.

Chapter 6

Bridgette burst through the crowd, her eyes wide and rimmed with red. She looked exactly like a startled, innocent deer.

She threw herself onto the pavement, wrapping her arms around the sobbing Eleanor. She looked up at Alanis with an expression of profound betrayal and sorrow.

Ashley stepped firmly in front of Bridgette, puffing out his chest and glaring at Alanis as if she were a monster.

"Don't blame my sister!" Bridgette's voice trembled beautifully. She looked at the cameras, tears spilling over her lashes. "Even though Alanis tried to seduce Ashley tonight... I forgive her. The bone marrow... that was a bond of sisterhood! I thought we loved each other!"

Her masterful manipulation worked on some of the onlookers. A few people muttered that Alanis was being ungrateful and cruel.

Ashley seized the moment. "I only love Bridgette!" he announced loudly to the press. He pointed a disgusted finger at Alanis. "She stripped off her clothes in my hotel room! She tried to use her body to climb the social ladder!"

The paparazzi immediately swung their lenses back to Alanis, hungry for a shot of her breaking down in shame.

Alanis didn't break. She stood with both hands buried deep in the pockets of Kane's jacket. She looked at them like she was watching a poorly acted high school play.

Her brain automatically engaged its behavioral psychology matrix. She dissected Bridgette's face muscle by muscle.

Alanis suddenly took a sharp step forward. The sheer predatory intent rolling off her body was palpable.

Ashley, remembering the agonizing pain of his dislocated shoulder just twenty minutes ago, instinctively flinched and took a step back.

That cowardly step completely removed him as Bridgette's physical shield. Bridgette was left totally exposed to Alanis's gaze.

"Look at her," Alanis said coldly, pointing directly at Bridgette's face. "Notice how the muscle under her left eyelid is twitching? That's an involuntary nervous system response. She's lying, and her body knows it."

Bridgette's heart hammered against her ribs. She tried to force her face to relax, but the panic was setting in. "I-I don't know what you're talking about!"

Alanis didn't let her breathe. "Why did you use a prepaid burner phone ending in 7492 to send a text message tonight?"

Bridgette's pupils dilated massively. Her breath hitched in her throat.

"I saw the phone you left on the nightstand to frame me," Alanis continued, her voice ringing out like a judge reading a death sentence. "The message was sent at exactly 8:14 PM. You used Ashley's name to lure me into Suite 704."

The crowd fell dead silent. The whispers started again, this time filled with dark suspicion.

Ashley froze. He turned his head slowly, looking down at Bridgette. "Bridge... did you send a text?"

Bridgette squeezed her eyes shut, forcing more tears to fall. "No! Ashley, she's making it up! I don't even know what a burner phone is! She's trying to destroy us!" She grabbed his pant leg, weeping pitifully.

Alanis looked at the pathetic display and let out a dark, mocking sneer.

She slowly pulled her hands out of the jacket pockets.

In her right hand, she held the cheap, cracked smartphone.

Under the blinding flashes of the paparazzi cameras, Alanis's thumb tapped the shattered screen three times.

My chest tightened with anticipation, five years of shared struggle culminating in this moment at the Manhattan penthouse banquet. But Chace, my partner, didn't look at me; he turned to Karyn, sliding his family's heirloom emerald ring onto her finger. Then, his voice echoed through the hall, dismissing me as "nothing but an asset under my name to provide entertainment." My smile froze, the room erupted in laughter, and a cruel kick sent me sprawling, spraining my ankle on the cold marble floor. Karyn mocked me, but it was Chace’s icy gaze that truly shattered me. He dismissed our past, threatening my mother’s grave and my father’s life if I didn't "stay in your place and be an obedient dog." The man I bled for, starved for, fought for, was a complete stranger, a monster veiled in cold disdain. My heartbreak bled out, replaced by a reckless, destructive madness. This wasn't just humiliation; it was an execution. Retreating to the lavish restroom, my mind sharpened. I unblocked a forbidden number, a name whispered with terror in the New York underground: Keith Mosley. My text was brief: "I am ready to pay my debt." His reply flashed, stark and dominant: "The price is marriage." This wasn't a price; it was my knife.

The Alpha's Ultimate Mistake: Rejecting the Secret Heir

7.1

For six years, I played the pathetic, wolfless Omega to honor the dying wish of the late Alpha who protected me. But on our sixth anniversary, my fated mate, Alpha Kian, was photographed looking tenderly at his mistress. When he finally stormed into our penthouse, he didn't apologize. Instead, he threw a fifty-million-dollar check onto the bed. "Take the money and accept my rejection obediently, or I'll show you what happens when you defy an Alpha." To force my compliance, he terminated all trade agreements with my best friend's pack, pushing them to the brink of bankruptcy. He accused me of blackmailing his grandfather into our marriage, entirely blind to the fact that his beloved mistress was actually a banished, feral Rogue. I had spent six years swallowing my pride, drinking toxic herbs to suppress my true White Wolf scent, and enduring his absolute disgust just to keep his pack safe. Why did I bleed for a man who despised my very existence? I looked at the blood money, and the suffocating sorrow in my chest was instantly replaced by white-hot fury. I didn't take a single cent. Instead, I submitted the rejection papers myself, dropped my pathetic disguise, and walked out into the freezing rain. A towering warrior with a black umbrella dropped to one knee before me in the mud. It was time to stop hiding and return home as the billionaire heir of the legendary Silvermoon Pack.
