On the eve of my mating ceremony, I caught my parents and the entire pack holding a secret Luna ceremony for my Alpha fiancé, Caden, and my adopted sister, Lydia. Lydia's biological parents had died saving mine. Now terminal wolfsbane poisoning had left her with three months to live, and her final wish was to be buried as the Luna of Blackridge Pack. Caden stood with his back to me, promising to give Lydia everything a Luna deserved—the ceremony, the title, and the place at his side. My father placed her hand in Caden's. My mother draped my Luna mantle over her shoulders, while my brother struck my name from the Luna registry. Caden exchanged rings and vows with Lydia, then named her Blackridge's first Luna. They all believed that because I was healthy, I had years ahead of me and should give this one chance to Lydia. I watched the ceremony to the end and deleted the message announcing my pregnancy. Later, I left with my unborn pup to become Frost River Pack's chief investigator, reclaiming the future I had surrendered for Caden. I left only my pregnancy report, mate-contract dissolution, and bloodline severance declaration. By the time Caden learned the truth, I had already crossed the northern border.

I was reborn one month before the forensic certification exam. This time, I spent my days drinking and clubbing instead of slaving away studying, for the class belle had bound me to an Achievement Transfer System in my previous life. We had prepared for the forensic certification together, and I'd burned the midnight oil while she slacked off and partied. Yet, I scored a zero and failed, while she got exactly what she wanted and passed when the results were out. The entire class praised the class belle for her talent and mocked me, saying a nobody like me could never rise above my station. Unwilling to accept it, I demanded a review of the exam. The results showed that every single one of my answers was wrong, while hers were all correct. I searched through everything from my past experiments, only to find that every certificate bore the class belle's name. The class belle then accused me of misconduct and got me expelled from the academy. In the end, unable to bear the blow, I jumped to my death.

All of New York knew that Caspian Solis, the Don of the Solis family, worshipped the ground I walked on. Then an ambush left him with amnesia. Not only did he forget me and our twenty years together, but he also mistook his secretary, Ivy, for the love of his life. He tossed our matching bracelets and stared at me with dead eyes. "You are not my type. Ivy is the woman I love." My heart shattered. I tried everything to help him remember. Until I overheard a conversation between him and his right-hand man: "Don, how long are you going to keep this up? What if your wife finds out you are faking the amnesia?" Caspian exhaled a cloud of cigar smoke, completely unbothered. "She won't." "I just want to have some fun while I am young. Eating the same meal every day gets stale, doesn't it?" "When I have had my fill, I will tell her my memory came back. After all, Lorelai is the one I truly love." Standing outside the door, I felt violently sick. A thought sparked in my mind: If Caspian could fake amnesia to play me, why couldn't I? So, I accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. When I woke up, I locked eyes with Caspian's ally and biggest rival—Zane, the most feared Don in New York. I smiled and threw myself into his arms. "There you are, darling."

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.

Read nowBy 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.

When I was nine, my little sister Lily fell off the training wall and broke her arm. My parents decided it was my fault. I hadn't been watching her closely enough. After that, they made a new family rule: the one who was weak, the one who needed help, always came first. But when my state first-aid competition fell on the same day as Lily's promotional photo shoot, she was the one who needed help. When I was burning with a 104-degree fever that happened to overlap with Lily's fan meet-and-greet, she was still the one who needed help. My father always said I was stronger than my sister and should learn to handle things on my own. Until nine years later, when a snapped steel cable slashed my leg open in a rainstorm—leaving me bleeding, hypothermic, and trapped on the North Ridge in Colorado. I called for rescue over the radio. My father, holding the keys to the company's only support vehicle, downgraded my emergency himself. Because Lily had a mild case of altitude sickness, and she was in the middle of a sponsored livestream that couldn't be interrupted. Through my headset, I heard my mother's voice, soft and soothing, telling Lily not to be afraid. Then my father cut my channel. Forty-seven minutes later, a park ranger found me in the rain, barely conscious. At the hospital, I opened the confirmation email for the full scholarship from the University of Edinburgh—the one I had planned to decline. If every cry for help I made in that family was going to be downgraded—then I was done with their channel.
