The Alpha's Scorned Bride
Five years. That's how long I survived behind those iron bars for a crime I didn't commit. A crime that my own parents pinned on me to protect my sister, Laura. My mate, Alpha Victor Smith, promised to wait for me. He promised to protect our newborn twins. Promised it would all be okay.
But, he wasn't there when the prison gates opened. I found him at a Valentine's Day celebration instead, standing beside Laura like she belonged there. My son Jasper doesn't recognize me as his mother. He hates me, he sees only the murderer everyone told him I was.
Now my sister wears my life like a stolen coat—my mate, my son, even my legacy. She's taken everything while I rotted in a cell for her crime.
But I'm done being their scapegoat.
I'm petitioning the council for a divorce. I'm going to expose every lie, clear my name, and reclaim everything they stole from me.
They should have killed me instead of just caging me.
Now they'll learn what a betrayed Luna can do.

Chapter: Chapter 297Ava's POVMy wolf immediately rejected the thought, yet the question lingered.That afternoon, I sat cross-legged on the bed, hugging my knees and swinging my feet. The moment Victor entered the room, I deliberately turned my head away.I wasn't interested in looking at him, or at least, that's what my act required. He walked over carrying a glass of water and several pills."Here." His voice was gentle. "Take your medicine."I ignored him. He sat beside me.Moon Goddess, the man was persistent."Come on." His tone softened further. "Be a good girl. This will help you feel better."I immediately glared at him, my eyes turning red. "I'm not taking it! You want to poison me and make me mad..." My voice trembled. "Just like Laura did at that bad place!"Victor blinked, briefly confused by what I had just done. I had clearly given him a clue regarding who the mastermind behind the whole thing was, but of course, he didn't ta

Chapter: Chapter 296Victor's POVSilence filled the room as a terrible realization slowly formed.Reuben continued quietly. "The real culprit."A growl rumbled deep inside my chest, my wolf's eyes flashing red beneath my skin. He had a point. Anyone willing to poison my mate and drive her insane was definitely doing it for a purpose. Could it really be the Stone family?Reuben zipped his bag closed. "They won't stop unless they're exposed."I ran a hand through my hair in frustration but didn't speak.Reuben looked at me calmly. His gaze was sharp, almost knowing. "Seeing you react like this, it means you know I am right. It also proves that Ava was really taking the blame for someone."The room suddenly fell silent, and my heartbeat stumbled. Only then did I realize what I had just revealed without even speaking. "I didn't say anything, Reuben. Don't make baseless conclusions."A look of regret crossed his face. "Anderson tried to tell me several

Chapter: Chapter 295Victor's POVA cold feeling settled in my chest. I lowered my eyes to the pills, then looked back at Ava.My wolf growled beneath my skin.Could it be? Could she truly have been drugged into this state? Who dared do this to my mate?My gaze landed on the trembling nurse. "Under whose instructions are you administering these drugs to my mate?""A-Alpha... it is the dean, Mr. Vincent Sivan.""Bring him here, now!"She nearly stumbled backward. "M-Mr. Vincent Sivan is away on a business trip."A business trip? Right now? What perfect timing.Even without proof, my instincts told me Vincent was avoiding responsibility, and whoever was behind this had likely erased every trail long before I arrived. The scent of fear pouring from the nurse confirmed it.Whoever this Vincent was couldn't have done it without someone's instructions. Could this be Mr. Magnus' doing?I slowly set the tray down. There was no point wa

Chapter: Chapter 294Victor's POVThe moment I arrived at the hospital to see Ava, something felt wrong. My wolf stirred uneasily beneath my skin as I walked through the corridor toward her room.When I reached it, it was empty.Ava's scent lingered faintly in the air, but she wasn't there.I immediately turned to the nearest nurse. "Where is my wife?"The nurse flinched at my tone. "M-Mrs. Smith was discharged earlier today. Her father and brother took her home. They said she would recover better with family."My entire body went rigid. Nobody had informed me, not a single call, not a single message.I immediately pulled out my phone and dialed Magnus Stone.The call connected after a few rings. "Alpha Victor?""Where is my wife?"Silence stretched between us, then Magnus cleared his throat. "I took Ava home."My jaw tightened."You took my mate out of the hospital without informing me?""I apologize. Everything ha

Chapter: Chapter 293Anderson’s POVClaudia stood frozen in the doorway. Her eyes were wide. Her face had gone completely pale.The shattered bowl lay at her feet. For several long seconds, nobody spoke.Then her trembling voice broke the silence."An... Anderson..." Her gaze locked onto me. "What did you just say?"Reuben visibly panicked and immediately spoke."Nothing. You misunderstood." He forced out an awkward laugh. "He was just saying he likes what I brought him to eat...""What are you doing here?" I cut him off, my patience already stretched thin.I pressed the intercom and called my secretary to clean up the mess before looking directly at Claudia."You shouldn't be here." My voice was firm. "Go home."But she wasn't listening. Her eyes remained fixed on me."Anderson." Tears began gathering in them. "Did I hear you correctly?"She crossed the room and grabbed my arm."You said you like that bitch

Chapter: Chapter 292Anderson's POVThe pain in my chest kept growing.It felt as though invisible claws were digging into my heart, twisting deeper with every passing second.My wolf was restless, pacing endlessly beneath my skin. The agitation rolling through our bond was so intense that I could barely breathe.Eventually, the ache became unbearable.I turned my head away from Reuben's phone.I couldn't look at the picture anymore. I couldn't bear seeing Ava curled up alone in that psychiatric facility.The image had branded itself into my mind.Her soaked clothes, her frightened eyes, and the defeated look on her face.Reuben finally put his phone away.His expression was grim. "Who would've thought Laura could be this cold?" His voice carried both disbelief and disappointment. "We've known her for over a decade."He shook his head. "I never saw this side of her." His eyes darkened. "Do you think she's always been this good

Chapter: Chapter 458Nathan's POVThe five-star hotel suite was silent. My wolf disliked silence like this.It prowled beneath my skin, restless and uneasy, as though it could sense Aria somewhere beyond the maze of Veridale, just out of reach.A knock sounded against the door. "Come in."Collins stepped inside, his scent carrying the chill of the night air. His posture was as careful as ever, shoulders straight, his head slightly lowered."Alpha." He approached and handed me a tablet."Ms. Darvin has arrived safely at the Osborne estate."My fingers settled against the edge of the screen.The first thing I saw was Aria.The photograph captured her stepping out of the Osborne family car beneath the estate lights, Lana cradled securely in her arms.My thumb stopped over her image. I didn't move.The room became unbearably quiet.My wolf stared at her through my eyes.She looks... different.She looked like s

Chapter: Chapter 457Aria's POVEvery direction I looked, I was met with a smiling elderly face.One of them was studying me like I was a long-lost granddaughter. I couldn't help feeling unexpectedly self-conscious.Kathy rubbed her forehead. "I completely forgot..." she muttered."What are you studying?" One of the elders leaned over my notebook. "Kathy, if you're making the girl study, at least teach her something worthwhile."He reached for my wrist. "Come on, child. Sit with us for a while."He gave my arm an encouraging tug. Nothing happened. I stayed exactly where I was.He blinked, straightened proudly, then tried again.I smiled and gently stopped him. "I really should begin with the basics."SMACK!His palm landed dramatically on the desk."What basics?" he demanded. "The things you actually need can't be learned from textbooks!"His wolf's aura expanded slightly with excitement rather than intimidation.

Chapter: Chapter 456Aria's POVRuth's tone when she spoke was flawless, concerned and supportive.Anyone who didn't know better might have believed she was speaking entirely for the Osborne family's benefit.I slowly set my teacup down."So that's your concern, Ms. Garfield." I turned toward her with an easy smile. "What an interesting perspective."I rose to my feet."You just pointed out that the Osborne family rarely appears before the public."I tilted my head slightly."If my family has chosen to step into the spotlight after years of silence by introducing me..." I smiled. "Who am I to refuse such an honor?""Ms. Darvin..." Eleanor Garfield spoke this time, her expression considerably more composed than Ruth's.As an older woman, she concealed her emotions far better. Her aura remained controlled, though I could smell the faint edge of protectiveness beneath it."With the greatest respect," she continued evenly, "and I s

Chapter: Chapter 455Aria's POVThe conference was open to the media.The doors remained wide open, cameras positioned throughout the room.The representatives of the Garfield family were already seated, including Rowland.Judging by the expressions around the table, they'd heard every word I'd spoken outside.I simply took my seat.Across the room, however, several reporters quietly shifted their cameras toward Rowland.Everyone in Veridale knew Rowland Garfield.A brilliant, powerful Alpha heir.The sort of dominant wolf who followed his own instincts regardless of tradition.Surely hearing his family casually dismissed would provoke some sort of reaction.The cameras waited, but nothing happened.Rowland looked completely unconcerned, as though my comments hadn't involved his family at all.Instead, he stood. "Aria."His scent drifted across the table as he picked up the teapot."Your tea."

She appeared from farther down the hallway, walking toward me with her usual calm elegance.She smiled and gently patted my shoulder when she reached me."Did you sleep well?"I nodded. "I did.""Good. We're heading to the company today.""Oh." I almost forgot. Before I could say anything else, Kathy lightly guided the waiting staff member forward.

Chapter: Chapter 453Aria's POVKathy raised one elegant eyebrow, neither agreeing nor denying it."The announcement naming you as the Osborne family's heir hasn't fully reached Veridale yet. The Garfield family clearly didn't investigate. They assumed you followed Rowland here."A small smile tugged at her lips. "Although... you handled Ruth rather well."I lowered my eyes. Ruth Garfield. For one uncomfortable moment, I'd seen a reflection of myself in her.She was like a girl growing up inside a house where someone else was always more important, where she always expected to settle for whatever affection remained.We'd walked through similar forests. We'd simply chosen different trails out."You're feeling sorry for her?" Kathy asked quietly, having noticed my silence.I slowly shook my head.

Claimed by My Ex's Alpha King Uncle
On the very day Aurelia was meant to become the Luna of her pack, she discovered the gut-wrenching truth: her mate was cheating. To Axel, Aurelia was never a destined mate; she was just a tool to help him secure the title of Alpha. Driven by betrayal and a decade of lies, Aurelia rips off her veil and rejects him in front of everyone. She chooses a path of revenge, vowing never to be a submissive property to the Davenport heir again. But in her most desperate moments—from rainy nights to dangerous traps set by her own father—she finds herself rescued by a wolf who radiates pure, suffocating power. Dane Davenport.
The cold, legendary Alpha King. Axel’s own uncle. Dane is a man who was supposed to stay in the shadows of her past, yet he becomes her only sanctuary. As they move from careful distance to an irresistible, soul-searing attraction, a forbidden secret surfaces: the King knew all along. They aren't just allies. They are Fated Mates. Now, Aurelia must decide: will she cower before the traditions that once chained her, or will she embrace her true wolf and rule the nation by the side of the King?

Chapter: Chapter 188THE ENDAurelia'S POV"It's a girl!" Daneroared. “The heir to the throne!”The sound of it filled the entire room — pure, unguarded joy from a man who had never once in all the time I'd known him been unguarded about anything. The midwives startled. One of them actually laughed in surprise.He wrapped his arms around me, gentle despite the trembling in them, passionate despite the careful way he minded the baby pressed to my chest, and his heart was racing so fast I could feel it against my skin like it was trying to get out."Dane—" I started."A girl." He pulled back just enough to look at her, and whatever he'd been about to say next dissolved completely. His mouth opened. Closed. The Alpha King, the man who had stared down Rowan without flinching, who had spoken in full sentences while bleeding out on his own floor, had absolutely nothing.She chose t

Chapter: Chapter 187I walked out of the building, breath ragged.Blood covered me head to toe, claw marks buried in various parts of my body. Healing, but slowly.With Rowan’s now lifeless body over my shoulder, I gathered the attention of everyone who had gathered outside the estate.Many of whom had thought the revolt would work against me.They stood outside in shock, gaze following Rowan’s body as I threw it aside, chest heaving with adrenaline pumping through me.“It’s over,” I announced. The stench of fear pierced through the air.My eyes shifted across every one of them. The ones who immediately scurried at the sight before them, scared that they would be next in line.The ones who instantly fell to their knees, baring their necks in submission, and the rest who chanted my name in victory.“The Alpha King is back!” they chanted in praise.“Listen!” The crowd fell into grave silenc

Chapter: Chapter 186Dane'S POVHe didn't see it coming. An advantage I couldn’t forfeit.The moment my beast’s claws connected with his face, Rowan staggered back. A hiss tore from his throat — surprise more than pain.Blood welled from the four lines carved across his cheek, dripping onto the collar of his shirt. He touched the wounds with two fingers. Looked at the blood on his hand.Then looked at me.I didn't give him time to process it.I launched.We crashed through the wall like it was paper. Plaster and wood exploded around us, raining debris as we rolled across the corridor floor in a tangle of claws and snarling fury.His beast was massive, ancient in ways I couldn't fully comprehend, something older than any wolf I'd ever encountered.But mine was hungry.Rowan recovered faster than I expected.His elbow connected with my ribs as a crack echoed through the entire w

It was only natural for him to come anytime soon to end things... any time from now.Through the darkness, I could hear footsteps approaching, heavy.And in a second, the stench struck.The stench of a rotten, timeworn odour travelling faster than his footsteps.Ancient Order.They’ve been around for centuries, way before my father became king, but we’d all overlooked them.They never proved to be any threat.They were just a group of people, standing in the shadows.I’d thought they were nothing worthy enough to look into, having them slip through my grasp a hundred times until they finally decided to show themselves.“You must’ve known I was coming.” The voice echoed, closer than before as a figure appeared before me.One that I recogni

My throat tightened with grief and fear.I’d almost lost him.Almost let myself be taken away by death while thinking he’d survive, but Danewas far from surviving.“Dane!” I gathered my strength, bringing his worn-out face to view but the moment I saw those darkened greys, the tears continued like a stream.Refusing to come to an end.“I thought I’d lose you.” He whispered, his breath hot against my neck as my thumb grazed the moisture on his face.Caressing.The doors barged open with Tyson and Koralie both rushing into the room. The minute their eyes fell on me, I could see the relief on both their faces.Koralie broke down on her knees, crashing against the cold floor with tears streaming down her face.“I’m sorry.” She mouthed, her palms pressed agai

Screams ripped from my chest as I turned to see the monster, bringing me closer to its face growing larger by the second.“No!” I yelled, cried.Tears to no avail, its mouth opened wide, swallowing me whole.Then darkness.Panic flooded my veins.
