Chapter 3

I took the bowl, sniffed deep. "Huh. Smells like there's... something extra in it."

James flinched. Covered fast. "What? That's ridiculous. My mom made it herself. She'd never hurt you."

I sneered. "Camilla?"

His brow twitched. "What's with that tone?"

I blew on the steam, voice flat. "She's always hated that I outshined your bloodline. Said I wasn't soft enough. Let's be real—she'd throw a party if you marked Emily instead."

His face went stiff. Yeah, he remembered how his mom really was.

Camilla always said Emily was the "real" Luna. Her family died saving James, and she basically grew up in his shadow. That bond? Deep.

Even with Emily knocked-up and unclaimed, Camilla still treated her like pack royalty.

Guess she assumed whatever was growing in Emily's belly had to be James's.

And James knew it.

He scrambled for an excuse. "Avril, my mom actually likes you. She's just... not great at showing it. Hasn't she been better since you got pregnant?"

I laughed.

Better?

Making daily tonics for Emily while ignoring me when I asked for water?

I said nothing.

He dropped his voice. "This tonic's legit. She got the recipe from the healer. Just drink it, okay? Don't waste her good intentions."

I put on my best touched expression. Under his eager stare, I lifted the bowl—and downed it in one go.

James let out a relieved sigh, took the bowl, and wiped the corner of my mouth. "That's more like it."

For a second, I thought I saw guilt flash in his eyes.

Maybe.

Or maybe I just wanted to believe he still had a soul.

The second he left, I bolted to the bathroom and threw up every drop I hadn't already blocked. Potion or not, I wasn't taking chances.

Less than thirty minutes later, I started groaning loud enough to shake the walls.

"James! It hurts—my belly!"

Almost instantly, Emily's voice rang out from the next room. "James! I—I think I'm in labor too!"

Perfect timing.

James hadn't expected the drug to kick in so fast. His face twisted—panic and excitement all tangled up.

"James... it hurts so bad..."

He kept whispering sweet nothings, too wrapped up in her to notice how calm I was.

At the clinic, he rushed Emily into the best birthing suite, then shoved me toward a nurse without looking back.

"You go to the room at the back. I'll be there soon!"

The second I walked in, I knew her.

Martha.

Same healer from before. The one James bribed in my last life. Swapped my newborn for Emily's and swore up and down that mutt was mine.

"Luna, don't worry," she said, all sugar, stepping in close. "I'll take good care of you and your pup."

I sat up fast and grabbed her hand mid-reach. "Martha, didn't your two pups go train on Nightmaw Mountain last month? Still not back, right? Pretty dangerous terrain. Good thing my pack—Silverlune Pack—patrols that area. But if something DID happen... and the patrol just MISSED it... what then?"

She froze. Whole body shaking.

Her kids—her one soft spot.

I let go, calm again. Lay back. "Let's make a deal."

Hours later, the door creaked open.

James slipped in, thinking I was asleep, arms cradling a swaddled bundle.

He made a beeline for the crib—ready to pull the switch.

I opened my eyes. "Hey babe, what exactly do you think you're doing?"

I was staring at the two pink lines on the plastic stick, trembling with the terrifying joy of carrying the heir to the New York underworld’s most ruthless faction. Then the intercom buzzed, and a voice splintered my world. "The little art student actually thinks I'm going to marry her? It was just a game to pass the time while you were in Europe, Estella." I froze. My boyfriend, Holden, was in the next room, laughing with the daughter of his rival. He explained that I was just a "clean civilian image" he needed to secure a business deal. Now that the deal was signed, he was dumping the "stray" to marry the "Queen." I tried to run, but freedom only lasted forty-eight hours. Holden didn't just break my heart; he turned my terror into content. He kidnapped me, tied me to a chair at the edge of a cliff, and forced me to choose between my life and his new fiancée's. Then, he pushed me off the edge. As gravity snatched me, I heard him laughing. I landed on a stunt airbag. It was just a "social experiment." A sick prank for his amusement. "Don't be so dramatic, Kenia," he called down. "It's just a game." He thought I was broken. He thought I was just a prop in his life. But he forgot that I knew his secrets. I dragged my injured body to a payphone and dialed the one number Holden told me to fear—the rival Don, Gael Simpson. "It's Kenia," I whispered, clutching the receiver like a lifeline. "I'm calling in the debt."

I woke up in a sterile hospital room with no memory of the lethal-looking man pacing outside the glass. My friend told me he was Dante Moretti, the Underboss of Chicago, and the fiancé I had supposedly worshipped for seven years. But the truth shattered me faster than the crash did. When our convoy was ambushed and the car caught fire, Dante didn't pull me out. He chose to save Valeria—the widow of a soldier he felt guilty about—leaving me to burn in the backseat. He called it a "tactical decision." I called it a death sentence. I thought losing my memory was a curse, but it was a gift. It stripped away the delusion of love. I saw a man who treated me like a useful piece of furniture. I saw a rival in Valeria who smirked while taking my job and my place.

He thought I would always be there, the obedient statue waiting for his scraps. He was wrong. I fled to New York and walked straight into the arms of his sworn enemy, Enzo Falcone. A man who didn't just promise to protect me, but walked through fire to do it. Months later, when Dante finally realized the truth and crawled back to me in the rain, begging for a second chance, I looked him dead in the eye. "Forgetting you was the only peace I ever knew." I took Enzo’s hand, letting Dante see exactly what he had lost. "Remembering you just confirmed that you are a mistake I will never make again."

My family's company went bankrupt, and my biological father was lying in the ICU, kept alive by machines that cost tens of thousands a day. I thought it was just a tragic business failure, until I caught my mother in bed with my stepfather. They had secretly transferred all our assets months ago, deliberately bankrupting the company and leaving my father to die. To pay the hospital bills, my stepfather forced me to a private club, trying to sell me to a sleazy investor. When I refused, he slapped me across the face, and my mother just looked at me with cold, dead eyes. "Be realistic, Jaelynn. A woman's body is a tool. Use it to get what you need." Later, right before my father's emergency surgery, my stepfather signed a Do Not Resuscitate order and froze the medical accounts. "If you don't get on your knees and spread your legs for him, I will tell the hospital to pull your father's plug." Standing in the freezing rain, covered in mud and blood, I stared at the astronomical hospital bill in my hand. My own family had plotted to murder my father and sell me to the highest bidder. The betrayal shattered every ounce of sanity I had left. I didn't cry or beg them anymore. Instead, I pulled out a water-stained, gold-embossed business card. It belonged to Dolph Valentine, the most ruthless billionaire in New York and my ex-fiancé's uncle. If they wanted to destroy my life, I was going to sell my soul to the biggest monster of them all and drag them straight to hell.
