Vivia's POV
The morning sun streamed through my window.
My wedding day.
I should have been happy. Excited. Grateful.
Instead, I felt hollow.
Because Lucien wasn't who I wanted.
Jax was.
And he'd chosen her.
Again.
I watched them last night. The way he kissed her. Claimed her. Looked at her like she was his entire world.
It should have been me.
I was the Alpha's true daughter. The one with bloodline. With status.
She was nothing. A mistake. A girl who didn't belong.
Yet she had everything I wanted.
I knocked on her door. Early. Before Jax could stop me.
"Come in," her voice called.
I stepped inside.
She stood by the window. Dressed in a simple robe. Hair loose around her shoulders.
The morning light made her glow.
Beautiful. Confide
