Five years. I spent five years in hell for a crime I didn't commit. The man who framed me sent a car. My ex-boyfriend, Lucas. He and my ex-best friend murdered my parents and stole my father's throne. Now he's a voice on a burner phone, dripping with pity. "You've done your penance," he says. "Just lay low." He thinks I'm a broken princess. A charity case. He thinks he's the new Don. He's about to learn a Queen has come home to burn his empire to the ground.
My engagement dinner. For the twelfth time, Julian abandoned me for Chloe. Ten long years. His voice was a panicked rush as he grabbed my hand. "Bella, it's Chloe... she overdosed. She's in the ER. I have to go. We'll do this another time, I promise." The same excuse. Again. As I gazed at his panicked face, a chilling calm washed over me. For ten years, I had played the fool, the perfect supporting actress in his charade of devotion. I'd had enough. I wrenched my hand free and, under his stunned gaze, strode deliberately toward the corner. There sat the undisputed king of New York's underworld, Don Lorenzo of the Moretti family. "Don Lorenzo," I raised my glass, my smile dazzling and reckless. "It seems my fiancé has just dumped me." "So, are you interested in taking me off his hands?"
My Mate Forced Me to Raise His Bastard Cub? I Went on a Killing Spree with My New Mate I am the daughter of the Alpha of the Silver Moon Clan. At the bonding ceremony, my mate demanded I wait until other she-wolves had borne his cubs before proceeding. He declared the cubs would be raised by me, for I remained the future Luna of the Moonstone Clan. I turned to refuse, colliding into the embrace of a stronger Alpha—my destined mate. He declared, "Since you cannot cherish the gift bestowed by the Moon Goddess, Selena shall be protected by me!"
I was bound to Christopher Hale, a senior healer, for six years, but we never had the closeness most mates share—he hated touch. On our fifth anniversary, I flew to Elthenia to surprise him, only to see him gently care for his ex-mate Brittany in the rain. Heartbroken, I learned he’d long prioritized Brittany: his phone wallpaper was her, he’d fought for her, and he planned to settle in Elthenia for her. After we broke our bond, I focused on my teaching, then met Daniel Hartman. Christopher later regretted it, tried to win me back, and even attempted to end his life, but I’d moved on.
After losing our wolf cub, I rejected the self-righteous Alpha. When I lost our cub, Alpha Marcus chose to remain with his destined mate, Evelyn. "Alpha Marcus, our cub is gone—can't you stay?" I pleaded, stifling the pain within. Alpha Marcus pushed me away coldly: "Selena, the cub is gone. But Evelyn needs me more now. I must go." My heart clenched in agony. Watching Alpha Marcus depart, I swore silently within myself. Alpha Marcus, I will make you regret today's choice...

"Evelyn has waited for you all these years, and you’re severed the mate bond, pretending to be a Beta avoiding her while pairing up with other women.Don't you think that's a bit unfair to her?"

Every night, my boyfriend, Jack, would always whisper in my ear, his voice laced with a sickening sort of suggestion as he described his escapades with other women in bed, spewing such vulgarities it made me sick to my stomach. I was born with a hearing impairment. Six years ago, at my high school graduation ceremony, some jerk of a classmate maliciously tossed my hearing aid aside. It was Jack who suddenly appeared and came to my rescue, gently wiping the dust off its surface, then leaned close to my ear and whispered softly. "From now on, I'll be here, and no one will be able to mess with you." That day, my years of secret crushing finally paid off. My world, once filled with the buzz of static, welcomed an angel's voice, meant just for me. Wearing a hearing aid for long periods often caused headaches and tinnitus. Jack couldn't bear to see me suffer like that, so he even secretly learned sign language, just so I could understand him even when I wasn't wearing my hearing aid. A week ago, I finally had an invisible cochlear implant, custom-made for me by an American medical team. I could finally take off my hearing aid and live like a normal person. I excitedly rushed back to our apartment, wanting to tell Jack the good news, only to overhear Jack talking with a bunch of his friends. "Dude, you've been with Emma, that deaf chick, for like, almost six years now, right?""Weren't you the one saying you'd never dated a deaf girl, and that you were only with her to 'collect unique experiences'? So how come you've been seeing her for so long? Don't tell me you've actually caught feelings for that deaf girl, have you?" Jack scoffed, the contempt in his eyes blatant. "Deaf girls have their upsides, you know. Every night, I hold her and whisper in her ear just how incredible other women are, and she hasn't got a damn clue. She actually thinks I'm holding her every night because I'm so in love with her! That kind of thrill? You guys will never get to experience that in your entire lives, hahaha." I choked back the burn in my eyes, my nails digging deep into my palms. A moment later, I sent my father a text. "Dad, those ten wealthy guys from Boston you lined up? I'll meet them."

I came home to find him in our bed with another she-wolf. His new Beta, Brielle. She looked me up and down. "So you're the Luna. I expected more." "I'm who he wants now." "Break the bond," she smirked. "Take your little mutt and get out." I looked at my mate. My Alpha. He was silent. But the new mark on his neck—bruised and ugly next to mine—was all the answer I needed. "Eight years, Kaelen." "I just have one question." "This bond..." "Do you have the guts to sever it?"

I was the canary in a gilded cage, a possession of the Don, Dante Moretti. In the seventh year of my captivity, he finally tired of me. He turned his affections to a younger, more alluring dancer. I suggested we part ways, but he just smirked. "Elara, I've owned you for seven years. You wouldn't last a day out there," he sneered. "Leave me? Go where? Besides, your father... without my medical equipment, how much longer do you think he has?" Staring at the man before me, I was transported back to that rainy night seven years ago. Back then, to force me into submission, he had framed my father, ruining him and leaving our family with a mountain of debt. The shock put my father in a coma. Buried under exorbitant medical bills, I had no choice but to accept Dante's obsessive control. Dante took my bowed head and silence as surrender. He stood, announcing he was off to pick up his "little dancer" and ordering me to clear my things out of the master suite immediately. I gave a silent nod. The moment the door clicked shut behind him, I dialed the number for the underworld's "cleaner." "Silas, I'll sell you our family's ledger for fifty million. But I need more than just money. I need you to make my father and me disappear."
I was withering, poisoned by the "Silver-Shadow Wolfsbane." The only antidote, the "Moon-Tear Potion," was bought by my mate, Caden, for my adopted sister, Sera. He did it because he believed—just like everyone else—that I was faking my illness for sympathy. I'd given up on a cure, so I drank a vial of "Shadow-Fade Potion," a concoction that would make my soul dissipate completely within three days. In those three days, I gave up everything. I handed over the architectural design firm I built from the ground up to Sera, and my parents praised me for finally being sensible. I willingly agreed to sever the mate bond with Caden, and he praised me for finally coming to my senses. When I told my son, Rowan, that he could call Sera "Mom," he was overjoyed. I transferred all my asset management rights to Sera, and no one thought anything of it. They were just happy I had become "agreeable." "Elara's not so bad anymore." I wondered—when my soul finally fades to nothing, will they feel even a flicker of regret?
