Chapter 2

In a single day, my entire world crumbled.

What should have been my wedding day turned into a tragedy, as my beloved Atlas and dear Grandma passed away, one after the other. I sat on the living room couch, tears ceaselessly streaming down my face.

"Why did this happen?" I muttered, thinking back. I was an abandoned baby, discovered by Atlas's family in the Alps. They believed I brought them good fortune and enveloped me with love. Atlas, in particular, had always been my protector, and over time, his affection for me grew deeper. We were meant to share a beautiful future together, but now everything lay in ruins. I needed to uncover the truth about what really happened.

“Dad, can I see the letter?” I asked quietly.

Wilson shook his head, gripping the paper tightly. "Paige, don't push it. Sometimes knowing too much is not a blessing."

I wanted to argue, but his pained expression stopped me in my tracks.

As night descended, the house was enveloped in an unsettling silence. Tossing and turning in bed, I couldn't rid my mind of Atlas and Grandma's smiling faces. Suddenly, a faint sound broke the silence. I slipped out of bed and noticed the living room light was on.

Wilson stood there, fixated on the letter in his hands.

“Dad…” I called out gently.

He turned abruptly, a peculiar smile spreading across his face. "Paige, I just want you to be happy."

A wave of unease surged through me, as though something dreadful was imminent. Without thinking, I reached out and touched his arm, feeling the eerie coldness of his skin.

“Dad, don’t…”

Before I could finish, he pulled away and dashed toward the balcony. His sudden movement sent me sprawling onto the floor. Pain jolted through me, but I ignored it and scrambled to my feet.

“Dad! Please, no! Dad…”

I screamed, my voice filled with despair and terror. But my cries were futile. Amid my screams, Wilson climbed over the railing and jumped.

I collapsed on the floor, my mind a blank void. It all happened so fast, too fast to grasp. Not until I heard the sickening thud from below did I return to reality, tears uncontrollably flooding my eyes.

Esther rushed out at the sound, and seeing the empty balcony, she instantly understood what had happened. Her legs buckled, and she sank to the floor, sobbing in unbearable grief.

I died alone in the medical wing giving birth to our son. "Tell her to calm down and stop the theatrics." Those were the last words my mate, the Alpha, said about me while I bled out. Instead of passing on, my soul was tethered to the packhouse. I was forced to watch my best friend Seraphina seamlessly step into my life, taking my baby and my husband before my body was even cold.

Whenever anyone questioned my absence, Ryker fiercely defended her, dismissing the desperate warnings of my loyal friends and his own elders.

Between family expectations, personal scars, and the ghosts of everything they've lost, both must decide whether healing means holding on... or finally letting go.

I was living as a ghost in a run-down trailer park, trying to outrun a past that would kill me if it ever caught up. Then the storm hit, and a dying monster collapsed through my door, bringing the smell of copper and the promise of a very different kind of death. I tried to defend myself with a cheap butcher knife, but Darius didn't just disarm me—he acquired me. Before the rain even stopped, I was drugged and whisked away on a private jet, waking up in a luxury penthouse that was nothing more than a high-tech cage overlooking the city skyline. He didn't just want my silence; he wanted total control. When I begged to check on my sick grandmother, he threw a manila envelope on the table filled with surveillance photos of her at her nursing home. "I own the board of that facility," he said, his voice cold as ice. "One call from me, and she dies alone on the street." He vetted my life in that trailer park down to my medical records and childhood diaries, convinced he had every lever of power needed to keep me obedient. He forced me into silk dresses and expected me to be his domestic pet, a quiet girl waiting for him to return from his world of shadows and blood. I played the part, letting him pull me into his lap and bury his face in my neck, pretending to be the broken girl he thought he’d bought. I watched his security cameras, calculated his blind spots, and waited for the moment his exhaustion outweighed his instinct. Darius thinks he knows me because he saw where I lived, but he’s never been more wrong. His investigators found the pauper, but they completely missed the princess with an Ivy League degree and a family name that carries more weight than his illegal empire. He thinks he’s the one holding the leash, but he has no idea who he’s actually brought into his home. The game has just begun, and this time, the "asset" is going to be the one who burns the house down.

My father raised seven brilliant orphans to be my potential husbands. For years, I only had eyes for one of them, the cold and distant Caspian Vance, believing his distance was a wall I just had to break through. That belief shattered last night when I found him in the garden, kissing his foster sister, Lyra—the fragile girl my family took in at his request, the one I had treated like my own sister.
