The Alpha's Barren Luna: Erasing The Mate Bond

I was the Weaver, the only wolf capable of knitting the spiritual wards that protected our billion-dollar empire. But to my husband, the Alpha, I was just a piece of malfunctioning tech. Ten years ago, I crushed my spine and destroyed my womb pulling him from a burning car. Now, because I couldn't give him an heir, he treated me like a ghost in his own home. The breaking point wasn't the affair. It was seeing Brendan, the man who once told me "Alphas do not kneel," drop to one knee on a public sidewalk to tie his pregnant mistress's sneaker. He touched her stomach with a reverence he had never shown me. That night, his mistress sent me a video of them together, captioning it: He's painting the sky for our son. What did he paint for you? Nothing. Because you're barren. I realized then that a divorce wouldn't free me. He would never release his most valuable asset. The Mate Bond was a chain, and as long as my wolf lived, I was his prisoner. I didn't want his money. I didn't want an apology. I wanted total erasure. So, I bought a forbidden potion called Tabula Rasa. It doesn't just wipe your memory; it dissolves the wolf spirit with acid and severs the soul-tie. I rigged the estate's defense wards to self-destruct, melted my Luna ring into a lump of slag, and drank the poison. When Brendan finally rushed home, terrified by the collapsing wards, he found me standing over the shattered vial. He screamed my name, trying to use the Alpha Command to make me submit. But I just looked at this weeping stranger with calm, human eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

Ellery POV:

Queens was a sensory overload of noise and grime. Perfect cover.

I pulled my hoodie up. I wasn't wearing silk today. I was in thrift store jeans and boots two sizes too big. To a human, I was invisible. To a wolf, I still reeked of high-status Pack-moonflowers and ozone.

That's why I'd arranged the courier months ago.

I ducked into an alleyway. A man waited by a dumpster, shivering in a heavy coat despite the July heat.

"Payment?" he asked, not looking up.

I handed him the envelope. Fifty thousand in untraceable cash, skimmed from Brendan's petty cash over six months.

He handed me a manila folder and a spray bottle.

"June Bennett," he said. "Ohio birth certificate. Clean history. The spray is skunk musk and sulfur. It'll hide your scent from God himself for six hours."

"Thanks."

I doused myself in the foul spray and headed for the clinic.

It looked abandoned, windows boarded up. I pushed inside.

Evans stood behind a metal table. Milky eyes, scarred skin.

On the table sat the vial. Electric blue, swirling with a light that looked radioactive.

"I placed the order six months ago," I said, stepping forward. "It took you long enough."

"Ingredients for soul-poison aren't easy to come by, Weaver," Evans rasped. "Remember: once you drink it, there is no antidote. You will bleed from your eyes. Your wolf will die screaming. And the Bond will snap like a dry twig."

"Good."

I reached for the vial. My phone buzzed. The special ringtone for Brendan.

"Answer it," Evans warned. "If he suspects, we're both dead."

I answered, pitching my voice high and soft.

"Where the hell are you?" Brendan barked. "Tracker says Queens. Why are you in the slums?"

I touched the platinum choker-my leash.

"I'm sorry, Brendan. I... I heard about an antique shop here. They have a rare Moonstone. For your birthday."

Silence.

Moonstones. His weakness.

"You're shopping for me?" His voice softened, the arrogance returning.

"Yes. A surprise."

"Don't take too long. Gala tomorrow. You need to look presentable. Not like a stray."

"Yes, Alpha."

Click.

I looked at Evans. He grinned, showing yellow teeth. "You lie well."

"Survival mechanism," I said.

I put the vial in my bag next to the June Bennett ID.

"I can't take it yet," I said. "I have to prep the house. If I'm leaving, I'm making sure the door hits him on the way out."

He Chose The Nanny, I Chose Revenge

7.3

Clara came home from a fourteen-hour board meeting to the sound of a piercing scream in the playroom. When she rushed in, she found her husband, Chadwick, kneeling on the floor in a panic. But he wasn't looking at their five-year-old son, Leo, who had a massive bleeding welt on his forehead. Instead, Chadwick was trembling as he held the nanny's daughter, Autumn, who barely had a microscopic scratch. "She needs ice. And antibacterial ointment," Chadwick snapped, carrying the nanny's daughter away and leaving his bleeding son behind. From that moment, the nightmare only escalated. Chadwick ordered Clara to cook a three-hour meal for the nanny's kid, threw away Leo's favorite toys because Autumn sneezed, and even secretly took the nanny and her daughter on Leo's promised Disney trip. The final humiliation came at the Met Gala. Right before their sponsor speech, Chadwick received a frantic call from the nanny claiming Autumn was having a panic attack. He abandoned Clara in front of hundreds of flashing cameras, sprinting out of the ballroom. Clara stood completely alone, the humiliation eating through her veins like acid. She couldn't understand how a father could call the nanny's kid his "little princess" while watching his own son cry. Why was he treating his own flesh and blood like garbage just to play savior to another woman's child? Suddenly, the blinding camera flashes were blocked by a massive shadow. Erasmo Chase, the heir to New York's largest financial dynasty, stepped out of the darkness and shielded her. "A man like that is unworthy of your grief, Ms. Best," he whispered, pressing a silk handkerchief into her trembling hand. Looking at the sharp profile of the powerful man beside her, Clara's shock hardened into a lethal, cold fury. She was going to dump her family's shares, crash the board, and make Chadwick lose absolutely everything.
