I posted the digital invitation on Instagram. My ex responded by putting a photo of a baby on his Story. He tagged me. “Done with the silent treatment? Pepper had the baby. Time to get over it. Come see how cute the kid is.” The comments flooded in immediately. Mutual friends. Every single one of them taking his side. “Rowan, look at that little face. Camden chose you. He wants you to be this baby's mother. That means something. Can't you give him a chance?” “Think about all those years. Don't throw everything away over one mistake.” I glanced at my fiancé cooking in the kitchen. Then I posted a photo of our marriage license next to a positive pregnancy test. My reply went up right under it. “I have my own man. My own child. And you—you're ancient history. I don't recycle trash.” The comment section went dead silent. Camden blew up my phone. I didn't answer a single call. We were supposed to get married. Have a baby. Everything was set. Then three months before the wedding, Camden posted a marriage license on Instagram. His name. My stepsister's name. Next to her maternity photos. The caption read: Legally welcoming our little one into the world. My stepsister commented with a shy-face emoji. My mother liked the post. She wrote, “Once the baby's here, I'll take care of everything. You two just enjoy each other.” I couldn't stop myself. I dropped a question mark. Camden's rage hit me like a wall. “She just needed my help to have the baby. That's all.” “Don't be so petty. My mom said you need to produce an heir before the wedding too. This works out fine.” I made a soft sound. No words. Then I deleted every post connected to Camden. Every single one. I put up something new. “Groom wanted. Who's applying?”

On the day Sebastian officially inherited the Silver Moon Pack as its Alpha, he took only two people with him when he left. One was our son, Leo. The other was Elena, the woman who had saved his life. Leo, who had inherited his pure Alpha bloodline, was a gift Sebastian refused to let languish in a human town. And Elena had saved his life. He owed her a debt, a promise he had to keep. To me, he only said, “Faye, wait for me. Once I’ve stabilized things in the territory, I’ll come back for you.” In my last life, I clung to that promise, waiting for him in that shabby rental house, year after year. In the end, I died alone in that room, and he never returned. But the Moon Goddess gave me a second chance. I drew my last breath on that cold mattress. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Sebastian’s bloodline awakened. I was back three years in the past. Back when I still had time. This time, I wouldn’t wait. I picked up my backpack and walked toward the highway without a single look back. From now on, he could be the Alpha, and I would live my own life. Our paths no longer needed to cross.
My best friend, Pilar, was notorious. She'd slept with her share of men. The talk all over Manhattan was that any man Pilar set her sights on, she had. My husband, Reed Ferraro, always dismissed the rumors. "Just wait," he'd say. "One day, a man is going to break her heart." And then, one day, something did happen. Pilar had nine abortions, all for the same mysterious man. By the tenth pregnancy, her doctor told her that her body wouldn't survive another. "My relationship with him... it's complicated," she told me. "Just focus on being the baby's godmother," she'd added with a weak smile. She had just given birth and looked utterly drained. My heart ached for her, and I slipped into the hospital bathroom to hide my tears. That's when I heard their voices through the door-Pilar and Reed. "We have to keep this from Fernanda." "Her parents just died," Reed said, his voice low. "If she finds out about us now, it'll destroy her." I stood frozen behind the door, my mind a complete blank. "And she can never know," Pilar added, "that we were sleeping together before you and she even met." "I did her father wrong," Reed murmured. "That day, he was so angry after our argument that his heart condition flared up." "That's why he lost control of the car..." "And then at the funeral home... you were like a madman, insisting we..." I clamped a hand over my mouth, terrified of making a sound. Reed's voice was a low warning. "Keep your mouth shut, and Fernanda will never have to know." I stood there for a long time before I finally pushed the door open. A champagne cork popped. The room was filled with people, all here to celebrate. Friends and family smiled, congratulating me on becoming the baby's godmother. And then I understood. They all knew. I was the only one who had been kept in the dark. Reed smiled at me. "Fernanda, congratulations. You have a godson now." I clutched the ultrasound photo in my pocket, my knuckles white, as tears streamed down my face. The two most important people in my life had betrayed me. And it started long before today.

In our family, there's a tradition. Every newborn gets a baby blanket, hand-knitted by one of the older women. My sister Willow and I got pregnant at the same time. Mom spent three months picking out the softest cashmere yarn. She even asked me—fawn pattern, or clouds. I was naive enough to think that this time, I was finally the favorite. Then my due date got close. Mom showed up at the hospital holding the finished blanket. Willow threw herself into Mom's arms, glowing. Our brother unfolded the corner of the blanket, grinning. One blanket. Right in the center, embroidered with the initials of Willow's baby. My hand went to my belly. My voice came out quiet. "Mom. Where's mine?" Mom looked away. "I wanted to give Willow's child a double blessing. So I used the money you'd set aside for yours too." Our brother cut me off with a scowl. "Can you lay off Willow for one damn second?" Dad walked in. He picked up the private-room card from my nightstand. Slipped it into his pocket. "You don't need this. Willow does. She's having a C-section. She's suffering." So they did know childbirth hurts. They knew being a mother was dangerous. They just decided Willow's fear was worth the whole family camping out at the hospital. My fear? I could choke on it alone. Willow held the blanket close. The blanket stitched with two blessings. Her voice was barely a whisper. "Vanessa. You're not going to fight me over a baby blessing, are you?" I stared at the dense, tight stitches on the blanket. And suddenly, I wasn't sad anymore. That blanket could be a foot thick. It still wouldn't keep someone warm. Not someone they'd shoved out the door a long time ago.

By the time I called off the wedding, my fiancé had no idea I'd just read three years of his smart lock's access logs. We'd been engaged for four years, yet he had never let me stay over or given me a key. He always claimed it was because his daughter needed boundaries after losing her mother. I believed him—until a pre-wedding renovation gave me temporary access to his smart lock app. My status was “Temporary Guest.” But his late wife's college roommate and his daughter's godmother, Sloane, was listed as “Resident.” Her access logs revealed three years of overnight visits during his custody weeks. Suddenly, his carefully crafted rules made sense. He wasn't protecting his daughter from a new woman. He was protecting the place he had already reserved for another one. As I uncover how deeply Sloane is woven into their lives, I realize I was never treated like a future wife. I was treated like a convenient outsider expected to wait quietly until the wedding. So I cancel everything, remove my fiancé from my legal documents, and walk away before he even realizes I'm gone. But leaving is only the beginning. When the truth behind their carefully hidden arrangement starts coming to light, the family that never made room for me is forced to face what they lost.

My fiancé was moving to Boston with my best friend, and he had kindly arranged for me to spend the rest of my life in Iowa, taking care of his father. At their moving party, I discovered two boxes—one containing my belongings, destined for his father's house, and another holding their things, headed to Boston.
Grant called it a practical arrangement. Tessa called it family. But when I found a spreadsheet detailing my care schedule, living expenses, and even how often I was allowed to visit him, I finally understood the truth: they hadn't planned a future with me. They had assigned me a role in theirs.
So while they celebrated their new life together, I enrolled in a school in another city, secured my finances, and disappeared from the future they had designed for me. They thought I was going to Iowa.

On the night of her wedding rehearsal, Elena is lured to the exclusive Cuckoo Bay Club by her fiancé, Miles Carrington, under the pretense of finalizing their marriage license. Instead, she discovers that Miles and Audrey Winthrop have turned her humiliation into entertainment. Her handmade wedding dress, private love letters, and treasured family brooch are displayed for auction while wealthy guests bet on how long it will take her to break down and beg for mercy.
But Miles has badly underestimated the woman he planned to humiliate. The club's own livestream records everything—the locked exits, the destroyed heirloom, the torn wedding gown, and Miles standing by while Elena is publicly degraded. What they dismiss as a harmless farewell prank quickly becomes evidence.
Elena doesn't beg. She saves the footage, calls the police, cuts Miles off from their shared life, and withdraws the personal guarantee protecting the financially troubled Carrington estate. What Miles never understood was that the quiet schoolteacher he looked down on carried a legacy, resources, and influence he knew nothing about.
The Carringtons enjoyed putting a price on Elena's dignity. Now, when their treasured estate and family assets begin heading toward the auction block, Elena intends to be sitting in the front row. This time, Miles won't be auctioning her future. He'll be watching his own crown sold piece by piece.
