In the hospital, she staged an attack, claiming I tried to kill her and her unborn baby. My husband shoved me against the wall, roaring at me as he rushed to her side.

"I'll kill you for this!"

As I lay bleeding on the cold floor, losing my own child, not a single person looked back. I was just a necessary casualty in his game.

But I had recorded her gloating confession. I faked my death and fled to my billionaire mother. He would find out the truth, and I would be the ghost that haunted him to his grave.

Chapter 1

The day the fireworks painted the sky with fleeting beauty was the day my life shattered into irreversible pieces. My fiancé, the man I believed was my future, tossed our engagement aside like a broken toy the moment news of my assault spread. He didn't even look me in the eye.

He just walked away.

The next thing I knew, he was with my half-sister. They stood side-by-side, a picture of what could have been mine. It felt like a punch to the gut, a betrayal swift and brutal.

Then came my childhood friend, the one who had always been there. He swooped in, a strong hand pulling me from the wreckage. He offered comfort, then an unthinkable proposal. He wanted to marry me.

He vowed to protect me, to cherish me. He spoke of love, a deep, unwavering kind. I was numb, but I said yes. He was my savior.

Life with him became a beautiful, meticulously crafted lie. He doted on me, showered me with affection, and made sure the world saw a woman reborn, loved, and absolutely adored. Everyone whispered about our perfect romance, envious of the man who had turned my tragedy into a fairy tale. I started to believe it too. He was everything my former fiancé wasn't. He rebuilt my shattered world, piece by piece.

He made me feel safe, cherished. I thought I had found true happiness, a second chance at a life I thought was lost forever. My heart, once a bruised and broken thing, began to beat with a fragile hope.

I was pregnant again. A new life, a fresh start. We were going to tell everyone, share our joy. I walked on air, imagining our future, building castles in my mind.

But then I heard it. A whisper, through a half-closed door. His voice. Urgent, low, laced with an emotion I couldn't place at first.

"She doesn't know," he said. My blood ran cold, a sudden, inexplicable chill.

He was talking to someone. The other person' s voice was too soft to make out, but the tone was familiar. It was her. My half-sister.

"It was all for you," he confessed, his voice thick with devotion. "To get her out of the picture. To make sure you knew I was serious."

My breath hitched. My ears buzzed, trying to make sense of the words. It couldn't be.

He explained how he set up the whole thing, the assault, making sure my former fiancé would abandon me. He admitted to using my pain, my humiliation, as a stepping stone. A means to an end.

He married me, not out of love, but out of a twisted sense of guilt, and a strategic move to keep my half-sister in his life. He needed to be close to her, and I was the perfect pawn.

"I'd do anything for you," he declared, his voice raw with a possessive love I had never heard directed at me. "Anything to make you mine."

The entire world tilted. The perfect life, the loving husband, the second chance-it was all a grotesque charade. My body trembled, tears blurring my vision. They streamed down my face, hot and stinging, soaking the front of my shirt.

Every kind word, every tender touch, every reassuring embrace felt like a cruel joke. I was a fool. A naive, trusting fool. The betrayal was so profound, so absolute, it felt like my very essence was crumbling.

I understood then. He wasn't my savior. He was the architect of my destruction, a puppet master pulling strings I didn't even know existed. A cold, hard resolve began to crystallize within me. This had to end.

Later, I heard his friend, his closest confidant, trying to reason with him. "You can't keep doing this," his friend pleaded, his voice heavy with concern. "She's been through enough."

My partner's response was a harsh laugh, devoid of humor. "She's exactly where she needs to be," he spat, his voice laced with venom I'd never heard before.

"But the assault... the way you engineered it," his friend pressed, a tremor in his voice. "Don't you feel anything for what she endured?"

"She was a means to an end," my partner stated, his voice flat, emotionless. "A necessary casualty in the game."

His friend sighed, a sound of deep disappointment. "And the last three years? Was all that a lie too? The way you looked at her, the way you protected her?"

My partner remained silent, a silence that spoke volumes. It confirmed everything I had overheard, every horrifying truth.

"She's married, you know," his friend reminded him, referring to my half-sister. "You can't just break up a family for a twisted fantasy."

"Watch me," my partner rasped, his voice filled with a chilling determination. "She'll be mine. She always was."

My soul shriveled, plunging into an abyss of despair. The last vestiges of hope flickered and died.

His friend gave up, his footsteps receding down the hall. I heard the front door click shut, a final punctuation mark on my shattered dreams. The silence that followed was deafening, suffocating.

I moved, a phantom in my own home, my limbs heavy. My hand brushed against a vase on a side table, sending it crashing to the floor. The sharp sound startled me, and I cried out, clutching my stomach. A searing pain shot through me, and I stumbled, a shard of porcelain digging into my palm.

His friend, just leaving, paused at the sound. He turned back, his eyes catching mine through the doorway. Pity filled his gaze, a silent acknowledgment of my suffering.

Then my partner rushed in, his face a mask of concern. "What happened?" he exclaimed, his voice laced with a theatrical panic. He knelt beside me, his hands hovering, pretending to care.

I tried to hide the injury, to pull my hand away. The pain in my palm was nothing compared to the agony in my heart.

"You're hurt," he murmured, his voice soft, almost loving. "Let me see." He took my hand, his grip surprisingly gentle. "You're so clumsy sometimes, my love."

His words, his touch, felt like ice. They only amplified the hollow ache within me. The joy of my pregnancy, the gentle flutter of life inside, vanished, replaced by a crushing weight of dread.

"We need to get you to the hospital," he insisted, his tone firm. Before I could protest, he swept me into his arms, carrying me out the door. He was playing the part of the devoted husband perfectly.

He drove like a madman, his face etched with a convincing performance of worry. He kept glancing at me, murmuring reassurances.

At the hospital, nurses and doctors rushed around us. I heard hushed whispers. "Look at him," one nurse cooed. "So devoted, so worried about his wife. She's so lucky."

I stared blankly, a spectator in my own tragedy. He was still performing, for them, for the world, for me. He wrung his hands, asked endless questions about my well-being, demanded the best care. I just watched, numb, as his charade unfolded. He was a master of manipulation, and I was his most convincing victim.

Alpha's Regret: Losing His True Mate

7.8

I was his possession, his secret, his sin wrapped in skin. And I endured it all-his rough hands, his dark devotion, his kisses that tasted like fire and chains because at least, for a while, he was mine. Until she returned. His destined mate. His so-called true love. And suddenly, I was nothing. Cast aside, silenced, left to wither in the shadows of a love that had never been mine to claim. But the thing about being claimed by a man like Calhoun. is that he never truly lets you go. "Try to leave me, Elodie," his voice had been a snarl against my throat, his grip bruising my waist.

I was the orphaned "parasite" of the Tyler family, taken in only to be abused for fifteen years after my parents died in a tragic car crash. To finally escape their control, I sold my first time to my ruthless billionaire boss, Ellsworth Mosley, for one million dollars. I thought it was a clean transaction. But the next morning, covered in severe bruises he left on me, I was handed a brutal contract with a fifty-million-dollar penalty. He didn't just buy my silence; he bought me. My nightmare only worsened when my adoptive family found out about my connection to the billionaire. Instead of disgust, they invited me to a hypocritical family dinner. "Talk to Mosley, convince him to invest in our failing business," my adoptive father demanded shamelessly. His son, who had tormented me for years, even grabbed my hand. "Do this, and we can be officially engaged. You'll finally be a real Tyler." They wanted me to whore myself out to save the family that had treated me like a stray dog. I shattered my wine glass, cursed them to go bankrupt, and walked out into the rain. As I reached the door, my phone vibrated with a terrifying summons from Ellsworth. But it was the panicked whisper behind me that froze my blood. "She knows about the brakes on her parents' car. If anyone finds out what we did, we'll go to prison." They murdered my parents. I gripped my phone, accepting the devil's call. Since I was already bound to a monster, I would use his power to drag them all to hell.

I went to The Ivy to return a box of scripts and hoodies, hoping to finally bury my past with movie star Harrison Knox. I just wanted to be a good wife to Julian Sterling and keep my family’s business merger intact. But Harrison had other plans. He staged a paparazzi ambush, pulling me into a fake embrace just as the cameras flashed. By the time I got home to our Bel Air estate, the headline "Harrison Knox Heartbroken? Tearful Reunion with Serena Vance" was already trending worldwide. The fallout was brutal. My father called, roaring that the stock was in freefall and threatening to stop my mother’s medical payments if I didn't keep Julian happy. My movie funding was pulled, leaving me to pawn my Birkin bags just to pay my staff. Even worse, Julian’s cold indifference turned into a sharp, quiet rage. He heard me tell a friend that our marriage felt like a transaction, and his response was to toss a black Centurion card at my feet like I was something he’d bought at an auction. I was trapped between a narcissist who wanted to use my trauma for his next script and a father who saw me as nothing but a bargaining chip. Even Julian, the man who secretly bought my movie rights through a shell company to protect me, believed I was still screaming my ex's name in my sleep. When my family finally demanded I lie and accuse Julian of domestic abuse to secure a settlement, I realized I had nothing left to lose. I walked away from the Vance name, deleted every memory of Harrison, and stood at the edge of the Pacific Ocean ready to let the tide take me. But Julian didn't come for a divorce. He found me in the dark, his coat heavy on my shoulders and his eyes burning with a possessive fire. "There is no divorce in the Sterling family," he whispered against my ear. "There is only widowhood. You are mine, Serena, until one of us is in the ground."

The Cursed Wolf and the Forest Princess

9.1

The forest has always been Jackline's only home. She doesn't remember the palace she was born to, the parents who once held her, or the kingdom that cried for a stolen princess. All she knows are the crumbling stones of an abandoned castle hidden deep in the woods, the whisper of leaves, the growl of distant beasts, and the cold reality of surviving alone. By day, Jackline hunts, forages, and explores the shattered halls of the castle swallowed by ivy and moss. By night, she curls up under broken rafters and stares at the moon, wondering if anyone, anywhere, is looking for her... even though she's certain the answer is no. The world beyond the forest might as well be a myth. No one has ever come for her. No one has ever stayed. Until the wolf. One fateful day, while tracking signs of wounded prey, Jackline doesn't find a deer or a boar, but a massive black wolf sprawled in the roots of an ancient tree. Its fur is stained with blood, its breathing shallow, its silver-gray eyes blazing with pain and something disturbingly close to human awareness. Every instinct tells her to run. A cornered predator is dangerous. A wolf this big is deadly. But Jackline recognizes the loneliness in its eyes. The fear of being left to die. It mirrors the ache buried deep inside her own chest. Ignoring her fear, she uses everything the forest has taught her-herbs, makeshift bandages, secret paths-to drag the heavy creature back to her ruined castle. There, in a forgotten servant's corridor, she creates a shelter. Day after day, she cleans its wounds, grinds healing plants, and whispers calm words to a creature that could end her life in a heartbeat. The wolf snaps and growls, but it never truly harms her. Slowly, it begins to trust her. When the wolf finally stands again, strong and steady, Jackline expects it to vanish into the trees without a backward glance. Instead, it follows her. Silent as a shadow, the wolf becomes her constant companion. It pads at her side when she searches for berries, keeps watch when she sleeps, and nudges her hand when her thoughts become too dark. Jackline learns to speak her thoughts out loud-to the forest, to the castle, and to the wolf with the haunted eyes. She tells it her fears, her questions, and the strange emptiness she feels when she thinks about her past. The wolf never answers, but somehow, it feels like it understands. For the first time in her life, jackline isn't truly alone. But the forest keeps its secrets tightly wound, and this wolf is one of them. Everything changes under the full red moon. Jackline has seen full moons before: pale and silver, gentle and distant. But this one climbs into the sky like a burning ember, staining the forest in crimson light. The air grows tense and electric; the castle feels suddenly awake, like it's holding its breath. That night, the wolf could rest. It paces, muscles tight, eyes brighter than she's ever seen them. There's something wild and barely contained inside him, something both terrifying and beautiful. When jackline reaches out to soothe him, he pulls away with a look that almost breaks her-one filled with sorrow and dread, as if he has been waiting for this moment and wishing it would never come. Under the blood-red moon, the wolf begins to change. jackline can only watch as bone and muscle twist, fur ripples and sinks beneath skin, and the creature she nursed back to life reshapes into something new. Something impossible. When the transformation ends, the wolf is gone. In his place lies a young man with dark hair, pale skin marked by faint scars, and the same silver-gray eyes that once watched her from a wolf's face. He is human. And he's not. He looks at her like he's been waiting his whole life to be seen. He knows her name. From that moment, Jacline's world fractures. The young man-her wolf-reveals a truth she never imagined. He is cursed, bound to the red moon, doomed to live as a wolf most of the time and return to human form only when blood stains the sky. Hunted by men, feared by sorcerers, and rejected by both humans and beasts, he is trapped between two worlds, never fully belonging to either. But he is not the only one living in a story shaped by magic and betrayal. The wolf's curse, he explains, is tied to old magic that once protected a powerful royal bloodline. A bloodline that ruled the kingdom beyond the forest. A bloodline that vanished the day a newborn princess was stolen from her cradle and never found. The day Jackline disappeared. Piece by piece, the life she thought she knew crumbles. The ruined castle she calls home is more than a random shelter-it once housed the loyal guardians of the royal family. The forest is not just a wild, dangerous place-it's a barrier of living magic, hiding her from those who would use or destroy her. Jackline is not simply a forgotten girl who happened to survive.
