I Was Your Dying Omega, Now I'm Your Sovereign Alpha
Every she-wolf in Crescent Ridge knew the Nightwood name. Lola did not.
She grew up in the pack orphanage with no bloodline sponsor, no rich family background, no seat among the pack’s royalties. Some wolves were born into power. Others had to fight for every inch.
Lola fought. She worked day and night, building something out of nothing until the Moon Goddess finally blessed her with a fated mate—Alpha Tristain Herdez. He was Powerful, respected, desired by every she-wolf.
Five years after their wedding, their house was still empty. The pack physician revealed the
truth: Tristain could never father a child.
Lola kept his secret and buried herself in work, building a company that all of Texas admired.
Then she collapsed during a press conference.
Stage four cancer. Less than a year to live.
While she prepared to leave a legacy behind, Tristain returned home one day with a newborn, claiming the baby was abandoned at the pack gate.
But the child had Tristain’s face and her best friend’s eyes.
And Lola was running out of time to uncover the truth.

Chapter: Chapter 16: The VideoLola's Pov "This woman is not the Nightwood heir. She is a fraud and I will prove it in front of everyone today.” He started.I turned the volume up."The woman making this so called inheritance claim has no verified documentation. No council witness. No formal presentation. What she has is a birthmark she conveniently discovered after her life fell apart." He leaned into the mic slightly. "I was married to Lola Nightwood for five years. I know exactly who she is and what she is capable of. This claim is a desperate move from a woman who lost everything and is now trying to use a founding bloodline name to claw her way back. The Nightwood seat deserves better than that. Crescent Ridge deserves better than that. I will be presenting my evidence before the full Council tomorrow and when I am done, every wolf in this territory will know the truth."He stepped back from the podium.The broadcaster came back on screen saying something about a scheduled Council emergency session but I had

Chapter: Chapter 15: Hollow GroundLola's Pov "She filed it this afternoon." Arthur's voice was tight on the other end. "Emergency custody petition."I didn't say anything."Lola.""Say that again.""Sofia filed for emergency custody of the baby. She posted pictures publicly about an hour ago. She's calling herself the mother in the captions. The pack is already sharing it."The kitchen counter was cold under my hands. I pressed my palms flat against it."How is that possible? She has no documentation. She has nothing.""She's arguing consistent parental presence. That you left territory voluntarily during an active family situation and that she has been the child's primary caregiver.""Tristain put her in that house. I didn't leave, I ran for my life.""I know that.""So how is a social media post enough to file an emergency petition?""It's not just the post. She submitted a sworn affidavit. Two witnesses, both connected to Tristain."My mouth went dry. "Arthur.""I know.""She's using my baby to finish what he star

Chapter: Chapter 14: Price of a NameLola's Pov The paper felt thick and cold against my fingertips. Williams sat across from me, his long hair casting a shadow over the contract as the warehouse lights flickered. He didn't move. He didn't even seem to breathe. I pulled the document closer and looked at the black ink, the weight of the Sovereign seal pressing into the table.“Sign it, Lola.""Give me a second.""The Council will most likely meet in two hours. If you aren't under my name by then, they will issue the warrant for the baby."I felt the blood drain from my face. "Two hours?""Two hours."He stood up and walked around the table. He stood right behind me. I could feel the heat coming off his body. He didn't touch me, but he was close enough that I could smell the woods and salt on his skin. My wolf let out a small, contented sigh in my head. I hated her for it."You're cornered," he whispered."I know.""Then do the only thing that makes sense.”I was about to sign it, but another thing came into my thoughts

Chapter: Chapter 13: The Only Way OutLola's PovThe air in the private back room of the warehouse smelled like old dust and cold metal. I stepped inside and the heavy door clicked shut behind me. My heart was thumping against my ribs. I wiped my palms on my jeans and looked across the room.Williams was already there. He was sitting at a scarred wooden table in the center of the space. He looked even taller than I remembered. His dark hair was long, spilling over his shoulders, and he had this look on his face that made me want to turn around and run. It wasn't that he looked angry. He just looked like he was ready to break something if he had to.He stood up when he saw me. He didn't offer a handshake or a smile. "You're late," he said."I had to make sure I wasn't followed," I replied."The betrothal is real." He didn't waste any time. "My father is dying. I need this alliance fulfilled."I stopped a few feet from the table and crossed my arms. "I don’t owe your father anything. Tristain lied to me for five years. He

Chapter: Chapter 12: Paper Shield Lola’s Pov The penthouse was too quiet. Without the baby’s crying or the constant hum of the nanny moving around, the space felt like a museum. I stood in the middle of the kitchen, looking at the box that had been delivered to the service entrance. I didn't have anyone to talk to and nowhere to go. I just had this marble island and the package. I grabbed a steak knife and cut the tape. I pulled the cardboard flaps back and looked inside. There was a stack of photos on top. I picked them up, my fingers brushing over the glossy paper. It was my parents. They were standing on the porch of the old house, looking young and happy. I hadn't seen these in years. I didn't even know they existed. Under the photos was a heavy, cream-colored envelope. I pulled it out and felt the weight of it. The wax seal was dark red and thick. I broke it with my thumb and pulled out a piece of parchment that felt like it belonged in a different century. "Sovereign Betrothal Decree," I said to t

Chapter: Chapter 11: The BountyWilliam’s Pov There was an auction a few weeks later. For some reason, I knew Lola would be there, so I decided to attend. The air in the auction house was thick with the scent of old money and overpriced perfume. I stood by a marble pillar, adjusting my silver cuffs and watching her move through the crowd. Lola. She didn't look like the dying woman the news reports were talking about. She moved with a straight back and her eyes scanned the room like a hawk. Every time a waiter passed her with a tray, she shifted her weight, ready to move. She was on edge, but she was hiding it well. I waited until she was standing alone near the velvet rope of the main exhibit. I stepped into her space, not too close, but enough to let her feel the shift in the air. "You feel the bond, don’t you?" I asked. She stiffened. She didn't turn around immediately. She took a slow breath, then shifted her head just enough to catch my reflection in the display glass. "Stay the hell away from me," sh

Alpha's Regret: His Rejected Hybrid Mate
For three years, I loved Kyril Grant with everything I had. I endured the whispers, the humiliation, and the cold bed while he spent his nights with her…his chosen mate, the perfect she-wolf his pack adored.
When I finally discovered I was pregnant with his heir, I thought maybe, just maybe things would change.
Instead, he shoved divorce papers into my hands and told me to sign.
"You were only ever a placeholder, Aria. A hybrid like you could never be my Luna."
So I left. I signed those papers, walked away from the Grant Pack, and disappeared into the night with his secret growing inside me.
Five years later, I'm no longer the broken girl he discarded. I'm a successful businesswoman, a devoted mother to our twins, and I've built a life he knows nothing about.
But Kyril Grant doesn't accept defeat.
When he discovers the children, he'll burn down everything I've built to claim what he thinks is his.
Too bad I'm not the same woman anymore.
And this time, he'll be the one begging.

Chapter: Epilogue Aria’s POVSix months had passed since the day the pack council fell to their knees. The chaos of the transition had settled, and for the first time in years, everyone lived in peace. Kyril had ascended back to his position as Alpha, but he was a different leader now. He ruled with a quiet strength, but his focus never shifted from where it truly belonged. Despite his return to power, he still stayed with me in our small house. We were living like parents, sharing the responsibilities of Liam and Luna.It was a strange, delicate balance. We shared meals, we shared laughs, and we shared the heavy lifting of raising two energetic children. But at night, we went to our separate rooms. No matter how hard I wanted to give in sometimes, no matter how much I missed the warmth of his touch, I held back. I needed to be sure. I needed to know that this life we were building was made of stone, not sand.One evening, after the house had gone quiet, I finally put the kids to sleep. I tucked the

Chapter: Chapter 233: The Final AscentAria’s POVThe moment the news fully reached me—the gravity of what Kyril had done at the pack square—I felt like the floor had been pulled from beneath my feet. I almost died from shock as the realization set in. I had spent the previous night in a dark hole of despair, convinced that his secret return to the pack meant he was reclaiming his old life and discarding ours. I had been so wrong. He hadn't secretly gone back to leave me or the kids. He had gone back to leave everything else for us.He stepped forward and held me tight, his arms wrapping around me like a shield. I could feel the steady thrum of his heart against my own. He had no doubt. He had no second thought. He had chosen us with his everything, casting aside power, wealth, and the respect of his peers as if they were nothing compared to the warmth of our small house."I’m here, Aria," he whispered into my hair. "I’m not going anywhere. I am yours. Only yours."I sobbed into his chest, clutching at his shirt. I had s

Chapter: Chapter 232: The Ultimate SacrificeAria’s POVKyril had planned a special outing for us, a day away from the house and the lingering shadows of the past. I spent the early hours getting the kids ready, pulling small sweaters over their heads and making sure their shoes were tied tight. As I was brushing Liam’s hair, he looked up at me with wide, honest eyes. "Mommy, I really love Daddy," he said. There was no hesitation in his voice, just a simple statement of fact. "He makes the best pancakes and he tells the best stories about the big mountains."I felt a small tug at my heart. It was the kind of love I had always wanted them to have, yet hearing it out loud still felt like a major shift in our world. I smiled at him, leaning down to boop his nose. "And what about me? Do you still have room for your Mommy?""We love you most!" Luna screamed from across the room, running over to tackle my waist. Liam joined in, both of them shouting their love until the small bedroom was filled with their laughter.I held them both t

Chapter: Chapter 231: The Breaking of the DamKyril’s POVWeeks passed, and on the surface, things were getting better. The house had a rhythm now. I knew where the spare blankets were kept, which cereal Liam liked on Tuesday mornings, and how Luna preferred her sandwiches cut into triangles. We were living like a family, but the more I settled into this life, the more I found myself hating the man I used to be. Every time I completed a simple task, like scrubbing a pot or folding a basket of laundry, a heavy weight of guilt settled in my chest.I sat at the kitchen table late one evening, watching Aria lean against the counter. She looked exhausted. Even though she was healing, the years of carrying everything alone had left a mark on her that a few weeks of rest couldn't fix. I started thinking about the sheer scale of what she had done. I imagined how much she must have suffered every single day. She had spent years waking up at dawn, cooking every meal, getting the kids ready for school, and then going to work to provide

Chapter: Chapter 230: The Softening of the HeartAria’s POVThe morning light was soft as it passed through the bedroom window. I woke up without the pounding pressure of the migraine, though my head still felt a bit heavy. I sat up and saw that the cool washcloth from the night before had fallen onto the pillow. Kyril wasn't in the room, but the scent of him remained.I walked down to the kitchen, moving carefully. Kyril was already there, leaning against the counter with a cup of coffee. He looked up the moment I entered, his eyes scanning my face with intense focus."How are you feeling this morning?" he asked.His voice was low and filled with a concern that was so genuine it made my chest tighten. I could see the sincerity in the way his brow furrowed and the way he stayed still, waiting for my answer. Instead of feeling comforted, I felt a sudden, sharp surge of anger. It was easier to be angry than to deal with the fact that he was actually taking care of me."I'm fine," I said, my voice harsher than I intended. I walked pa

Chapter: Chapter 229: The Crack in the ArmorAria’s POVI spent the rest of the morning thinking about the words Kyril had spoken on the porch. He talked about castles and futures as if they were things he could just whistle into existence. He was always good with sugar-coating his intentions when he wanted something. I had seen him do it with the pack council, and I had seen him do it with me years ago. It was a talent he possessed—making the impossible sound like a simple task.I found him in the kitchen later, cleaning up after our talk. I walked straight up to him, crossing my arms over my chest."You need to stop, Kyril," I said. My voice was steady, but I wanted him to feel the weight of my frustration. "You can’t go around saying things you can’t do. You’re talking about taking us back to a pack that hated me. You’re talking about a castle that was never truly my home. It’s un-alpha-like to make promises that have no foundation in reality."Kyril turned off the faucet and dried his hands on a towel, looking at me with a
