The first strike came without warning. A brutal blow from his father slammed into my chest, forcing me to my knees. Pain shot through my body, sharp and unforgiving—but I refused to cry out.“Know your place,” he growled. Before I could recover, my head snapped to the side as my mother’s hand struck my face.“You’ve always been a disappointment.”A laugh followed. His sister. She stepped forward and shoved me down, her heel pressing into my back.“Look at you,” she mocked. “Still clinging to your pride. You were never his choice.”My hands trembled against the floor. Not from weakness. From rage.“She attacked the Alpha’s chosen,” one elder declared coldly.“ She dared to harm the future of this pack.” Elder speak disguised yone. "Alpha, she tried to kill our baby…” came her soft, trembling voice. I didn’t need to look. I knew she was standing behind him—safe, protected, untouchable. Her hand resting on her stomach. Her eyes full of fake tears.Her lips hiding a smile.And him?He stood there.Cold. Unmoved.The man I loved for six years.“You touched my bloodline,” he said calmly.“You deserve to die.”Just like that.Six years reduced to nothing.A bitter laugh escaped me as I lifted my head, meeting his eyes.“So that’s it?” I whispered. “That’s all I am to you?”For a moment, he looked at me.And what I saw…Was worse than hatred.Nothing.“You were never enough.”That broke something inside me completely.I took a slow breath, forcing myself to look at all of them—every face that watched me fall.“You chose her…” I said, my voice low but steady.Silence filled the room.Because something in me had changed.“I will come back,” I whispered.My gaze locked with his.“And when I do…”I looked at his father.“You will beg, old wolf.”My mother.“You will regret calling me weak. I’ll show you what it truly means.”His sister.“You won’t be laughing when I break the leg you used to step on me.”Then I turned to the two elders standing beside him—the ones meant to protect their Luna.“I will tear down everything you stand for. Your title. Your power. Everything that gave you the right to judge me.”And finally—her.His mistress.A slow, dangerous smile touched my lips.“You want him? You can have everything—his title, his power, his heart…”My voice dropped.“But when I return, I will take it all back… and leave you in the streets where you belong.”“Luca… she’s evil… I’m scared,” she whispered, hiding behind him.“Enough,” he said coldly. “I’ve already decided your punishment.”The air turned heavy.He stepped forward.Silver blade in hand.“What is my punishment?” I asked.“Death.”The blade pierced straight through my heart.Pain exploded, stealing my breath.My body trembled—but I didn’t fall.Instead, I stepped closer.Grabbing his shirt.Pulling him near.“You were worried about her baby…” I whispered, my voice breaking.“…while killing your rightful children.”His expression shifted.Confusion.Fear.“What are you talking about?”“I’m five months pregnant,” I breathed.“Before you touched that woman… your children were already growing inside me.”Everything stopped.His body froze.“What…?”I smiled, blood filling my mouth.“Twins…”My voice dropped to a whisper.“…but you were never worthy of being their father.”For the first time—I saw it.Shock.Fear.Regret.Too late.My body collapsed—But he caught me.“My child…! Call the doctor! NOW!” he shouted.Not for me.For his heir.Even in death…I smiled.This was his first loss.And I won.But this is only the beginning.Because when I return…I won’t just take revenge.I will destroy them all. **** This book contains violence, abuse, strong language, bloddy scenes and steamy, intense scenes.

She placed the file in front of him, her fingers trembling—but her voice didn’t.“What is this?”He didn’t answer immediately. His eyes skimmed the document before lifting to hers, cold and unreadable.“Did you read the contract?”Her jaw tightened. “You said you’d give me a divorce. Then why add this condition?”He slid a pen toward her.“You want freedom. I want something in return. Sign it.”Her grip on the file tightened. “And if I refuse?”His lips curved slightly. “Then you stay married to me.”The words hit harder than they should have.Before she could step back, he moved closer—slow, deliberate, suffocating.“You already have a daughter,” he said quietly. “It won’t be difficult for you to give me one.”Her heart clenched. “You want me to give birth to your child… just to satisfy your grandfather? That’s not logical.”“It is,” he replied, his gaze locking onto hers. “He forced this marriage for a reason—he wants an heir. You want out. I want out. We give him what he wants… and we both walk free.”A bargain. Cold. Calculated. Cruel.“Fine,” she said, swallowing the storm inside her. “How do you want to do this?”His voice dropped, dark and controlled.“Not artificially. The natural way.”Her breath hitched.“But first,” he added, “you’ll undergo a medical check-up.”Her eyes flashed with anger. “You think I’m dirty?”“You’re a divorced woman,” he said bluntly. “I don’t take risks.”Silence.Then she smiled—sharp and fearless.“Then you’ll do the same,” she shot back. “I was loyal to my husband. Can you say the same about yourself?”For the first time, he was caught off guard.Without waiting for his answer, she signed the contract.“When you’re ready for the check-up, let me know,” she said, turning away. “Now, if you’ll excuse me… I have to pick up my daughter.”And just like that, she walked out—leaving behind a man who wasn’t used to being challenged……and a deal that would change both their lives forever.***Content Warning:This story contains dark romance elements, including toxic and controlling relationship dynamics, strong power imbalance, and dominant behavior.
