Goodbye Alpha, You Can Never Win Me Back

Goodbye Alpha, You Can Never Win Me Back

I was Alpha Asher Voss's invisible wife. He made me his Luna, and I shielded him from the Council's scrutiny, managed his alliances, and ran his pack so smoothly he never had to wonder who was holding it all together. We were bound by a contract with one simple rule: on the third year of our marriage, we end everything and go our separate ways. No mark. No bond. No questions. And I thought I could handle it. I played my role flawlessly. Buried my foolish, growing affection beneath duty and discipline. Stayed within every line he drew. Never asked for more or reached for what wasn't offered. Until she returned. Vivienne, his childhood sweetheart. The woman he once swore to marry. The woman he never stopped searching for, the favourite candidate for his pack; loved and cherished by all. When she came back, I went from invisible to nonexistent. He announced wedding plans with her before our contract was even over, reminded me I had been a placeholder and asked me to prepare her room on the Alpha floor — his floor. The one I was never welcome on. But here's the part no one saw coming. I was pregnant. With thirty days left before the contract ends, I walked out of the pack where I’d been trapped for three years. And now, I can truly live for myself.

Chapter: Chapter 80: I will get Lyra back.
Asher POV"How dare you speak to me like that? Do you know who I am, Elliot?"He didn’t say anything. “ANSWER ME!” I yelled. "You're the Alpha of Ashford Dominion.""That's right. And you work in my pack. You eat my food, sleep under my protection, and treat patients in a clinic that my family built. Every instrument in this room, every vial of medicine in your cabinet, every salary that pays your staff — it comes from this pack. From me. So when I ask you for something, you do it without complaints.”Elliot was quiet for a few seconds, then stepped back, widening the distance between us. “That doesn’t place you above medical law, Alpha. The Werewolf Medical Accords exist for a reason. No Alpha — regardless of rank — has the authority to compel a physician to breach patient confidentiality. That protection exists to ensure that pack members can seek medical care without fear of their personal information being used against them."A muscle ticked in my jaw as my vision blurred with a

Chapter: Chapter 79: The doctor's loyalty.
Asher POVI moved away from the desk and stood by the window.The clinic overlooked the eastern training grounds, where a handful of warriors were running drills in the late afternoon light. From here, I could see the gaps in their formation — two positions unmanned, a third filled by a boy barely old enough to have shifted for the first time. This was what half-capacity looked like. Not dramatic collapse. Just slow erosion, the kind you didn't notice until the wall gave way.Then I heard footsteps in the corridor, the door opening, and then a pause at the door."Alpha."Elliot Crane stepped inside and closed the door behind him. He was wearing his white coat, a stethoscope draped around his neck, a clipboard tucked under his arm. His face was composed, and as always, he wore that annoying professional look he always had around me. I knew he bore animosity towards me because of his friendship with Lyra, and he never bothered to hide it. I didn’t turn from the window or acknowledge hi

Chapter: Chapter 78: Cracks in the foundation.
Asher POV"...and the northern border patrols have been running at half capacity since the Luna's departure. We've had two incursions in the past week alone — minor ones, but they're testing us. They know we're vulnerable."Elder Harmon's voice was a steady drone at the far end of the table, but it reached me like sound through water. I heard the words, but I didn't process them. My body was in the council chamber at Ashford Dominion, sitting at the head of the long oak table where I had sat for every pack meeting since I became Alpha, but my mind was back in that hearing room.The child is not yours, Alpha Voss.Lyra's voice. Flat and controlled. She hadn't flinched when she said it or looked away. She'd stood there in front of the Council and denied me with the same composure she wore when she served dinner to guests who didn't know she existed.And the worst part — the part that had been circling my mind for days like a wolf pacing the walls of a cage — was that I couldn't tell if

Chapter: Chapter 77: Old friends.
Jaxon POVThe healers had left an hour ago.They had cleaned the wounds, applied wolfsbane neutralizers to the welts on my back and chest, and wrapped my wrists in medicated gauze that smelled like calendula and something sharper — an accelerant meant to jump-start the healing that the wolfsbane had shut down. They had been professional and efficient. They hadn't asked questions, and I hadn't offered answers.Now I sat on the edge of the bed in the medical wing's VIP suite — a room nicer than most pack houses I had burned down — and waited for the accelerant to do its work. My wolf was sluggish. Two days of wolfsbane and silver had muzzled him into something barely conscious, and even now, hours after the last dose, he was surfacing slowly, like a man dragging himself out of deep water.The window was open. I had made sure of that before the healers left.A shadow moved across the sill, and Renn dropped into the room without a sound. He landed in a crouch, scanned the room once — door,

Chapter: Chapter 76: My mother's wish.
Lyra POVI turned around.The woman standing behind me was tall, with dark hair swept back from her face and streaked with grey at the temples. She had my mother’s jaw and my mother’s cheekbones. But her eyes were darker, and the lines around them were deeper, carved by a different kind of grief.A thought flashed through my mind: This is how my mother would have looked had she been alive. The woman closed the distance between us before I could speak, and her hands came up to my face, cupping my cheeks. Her palms were warm against my cheeks, and the tears running down her face fell onto my wrists. "My world," she whispered, trying to smile through her tears, as she stared at me like I was a ghost. "You look so much like her. For a moment, I thought — " Her voice broke. She pressed her lips together, swallowed, and tried again. "I thought you were Eva."I didn't know this woman. I had never seen her face, never heard her voice, never been told her name. But something inside me went s

Chapter: Chapter 75: The night your mother died.
Lyra POV“Everything.” Eva’s eyes sparked with annoyance. “You take connections and friendships for granted. You are so conceited and bent on following this rigid set of rules when you and I know that there are holes in it.”“Eva,” my father scoffed. “Don’t tell me you’re still hung up about Veyron’s ruling. Is that why you’ve sent half the Council elders to me, this week alone?”"He is innocent, Aldric." Her voice cracked on the word, but she didn't lower it. "You know him. You know this man. He has stood beside you for fifteen years. He has bled for you. He has bled for our world. And you are going to throw him in a dungeon based on — what? Circumstantial evidence? Testimony from men who have every reason to lie?""The evidence is not circumstantial." My father's voice was quieter than hers, but harder. "Every trail leads back to him. Every document. Every witness.""Then someone built those trails!" Eva took a step toward him. "Someone wanted you to find exactly what you found. Can

Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.

Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.

On my wedding day, my husband abandoned me to marry his childhood sweetheart, while I was tortured to death. *** Yeah. That was how my first life ended, pathetic. Wasn't it? I was the perfect fiancée: quiet, obedient, hopelessly in love with a man who never loved me back. For three years, I erased myself to become Adrian Whitmore's first love, Isabella Clarke, the woman he truly loved. I cooked for him, fought for him, and even gave up my father's company for him. And what did I get in return? Betrayal. Humiliation. Death. But heaven gave me another chance. I wake up three years earlier, at our engagement party. The same party where Adrian threw our rings into the pool and I—desperate and pathetic—dove in to retrieve them. Not this time. This time, I throw the rings back in his face. I expose his secrets, reclaim my father's empire, and walk away from the man who never deserved me. But Adrian isn't ready to let go. The obedient woman who worshipped him is gone, replaced by someone he can't control or predict. For the first time in his arrogant life, he wants what he can't have—me. Too bad I'm done being anyone's second choice. With a sweet billionaire offering genuine devotion and a dangerous mafia boss promising absolute protection, I finally have options. Meanwhile, Adrian watches helplessly as I become everything he never let me be. In my first life, I died for love. In my second life, everyone who hurt me will pay.

Chapter: Chapter 295: Epilogue
Evelyn The hotel suite door hadn't fully closed before Vincent's mouth was on mine.He kissed me the way he'd wanted to kiss me at the altar; I knew that now. The ceremony kiss had been restrained, appropriate, a firm press of lips followed by the polite applause of three hundred guests. This was the real one. The one he'd been holding for hours, through the vows and the toasts and the first dance and the endless parade of well-wishers who shook his hand and kissed my cheek while his fingers dug into my waist beneath the tablecloth.He walked me backwards into the suite without breaking the kiss, his hands tangled in my hair, pulling the pins free one by one, letting the curls tumble down my back. The updo that had taken two hours to construct came apart in seconds beneath his fingers, and I felt the weight of my hair fall around my shoulders and his groan of satisfaction against my mouth."I've been thinking about doing that since the first look," he said, his voice low and rough,

Chapter: Chapter 294: Our vows...
Evelyn POVWe had written our own vows. Vincent had argued against this for weeks, claiming he was not the kind of man who could stand in front of a crowd and say what he felt, which was absurd coming from a man who had sat in front of a camera and dismantled his entire hidden life to save my company. I had told him that if he could do that, he could do this. He had looked at me for a long time and then said Fine, but I'm going to be terrible at it, and I had said I know; that's why I want you to do it.He went first."Evelyn." He cleared his throat. "From the first day I set my eyes on you, I knew I wanted to marry you. Before you, marriage and relationships were topics that weren't too pleasant in the ears because the idea of spending the rest of your life with one person worried me much more than anything, but now I can see it."His voice was shaking, so he had to pause."I don't have poetry for what you mean to me," Vincent said. "I don't have the right words, and I probably nev

Chapter: Chapter 293: Six months later.
Evelyn POVSix months later...My wedding dress was so beautiful that it felt like a sin to even wear it.I stared at my reflection in the mirror, trying my best not to cry; I didn't want to ruin my makeup. A lot has changed since that time. For the first time, I've experienced love in the brightest, sweetest ways ever. Vincent had showered me with love that overwhelmed me so much that occasionally, I'd find myself wondering if it was real. Did I deserve so much of this love?Vincent had proposed to me on a rainy night. He'd been jittery the entire day, occassionally I'll catch him staring at me and when I look towards him, he'd turn away. Well, by evening on the same day, in the quiet of Crescent Harbour beach, he'd asked me to be his wife, stumbling over the words repeatedly before he got it right. And here I was, finally getting married. Margaret Whitmore was in a maximum holding facility that allowed Adrian to visit her twice a month. Isabella was sentenced to fifteen years, al

Chapter: Chapter 292: Just Vincent...
Evelyn POVGabriel left with the children at eight.Nadia hugged Vincent for so long that Elijah had to physically peel her off, and then Elijah hugged him too, quickly, the way boys do when they're trying not to show how much something means. Vincent crouched down and said something to each of them that I couldn't hear, and Nadia whispered something back, and Vincent laughed, and then they were gone.The house was very quiet after that.Vincent stood in the hallway with his hands in his pockets, looking at the door the children had walked through. He didn't move for a long time. I watched his face and saw the thing he wasn't saying, that the house felt emptier than it should, that two children he'd known for a month had carved a space in his life that would take much longer than a month to fill."She left Mr Buttons," he said."What?""Nadia's stuffed rabbit. She left it on purpose. She told me she was leaving him here so I wouldn't be lonely." He cleared his throat. "I'm fine.""You

Chapter: Chapter 291: He had always been one.
Evelyn POVI opened my mouth."Don't," he said gently. "Let me finish. I love you. I have loved you since the day you sat on a bus in Bangria and held a stranger with a gun because you were too afraid to say no and too brave to scream. I'd love you every single second, Evelyn." He paused."And I know you love me, maybe not in the way I love you and not the way I wanted you to love me. You love me the way you love a person who showed up at the right time, held you when you needed holding, and made you feel safe when nothing else did. That's real, Evelyn. I'm not dismissing it. But it's not the kind of love that builds a life."My eyes burned. "Gabriel—""But Vincent loves you better and in the right way that you deserve, more than Adrian or me.""I wiped my eyes. "You asked him to take the children? That's why they're here?""I transferred legal guardianship to him the night before I left. Vincent was the safest person I knew, and I was going into something I might not have come back f

Chapter: Chapter 290: I love you.
Evelyn POV"Sorry?" I shoved him again. This time his back hit the wall of the house. "Sorry is what you say when you're late to dinner. Sorry is what you say when you forget to return a call. You let me grieve you, Gabriel. You let me think the last time I would ever hear your voice was a voicemail recording, and all you have is sorry?"The tears came then, even though I didn't want them. I had spent weeks training myself not to cry for Gabriel Ross, not because the grief wasn't real but because I knew that if I started, I would not be able to stop, and I had a company to run and a launch to save and a life to keep moving forward. But he was here. He was standing in front of me, warm and breathing and real.I pressed my forehead against his chest and cried.Gabriel's arms came around me. He held me the way he had always held me, completely, as if the act of holding was something he had practised his entire life and only ever perfected with one person. His chin rested on top of my head
