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 348Ava's POVI watched Magnus' face turn pale.Everyone knew how much Lucas had sacrificed for the Stone family. For years, he had held Stone Group together through sheer determination.He had carried the entire family on his shoulders, and now he was discovering that Magnus intended to replace him with some unborn pup from his mistress.Magnus visibly trembled. "Lucas, don't listen to Ava," he said hurriedly. "She's lying. She's the one who killed your mother...""Enough."Lucas's voice wasn't loud. It didn't need to be.Magnus's face turned ghostly white. "Lucas," he pleaded, "it's all fabricated. I'd never betray your mother."Lucas didn't even look at him. His gaze shifted to me. "Continue."I blinked. For a moment, I was genuinely surprised. Then I nodded.Before I could speak, Laura rushed forward. "Lucas!" Tears streamed down her face. "Are you really going to let her destroy Mom's funeral?" Laura cried.She clung to Lucas's

Chapter: Chapter 347Ava's POVLaura froze. Then her eyes dropped to my emerald earrings. Immediately, her face twisted."Why are you wearing those? Did you steal them from me?"The sheer audacity nearly made me laugh. Those earrings belonged to me. She had stolen them first.Nora wrinkled her nose dramatically. "Your scent reeks of lies. You stole those from Ava. She's simply taking back what's hers.""Bullshit!" Laura lunged. Her hand partially extended as she reached for my earrings.The scuffle immediately drew Magnus' attention. The moment he saw Laura's reaction, his protective instincts activated.Without asking a single question, he charged forward, his fist rising. I wasn't surprised. Magnus had always chosen Laura.Before the blow could land, Anderson's hand intercepted him. His grip clamped around Magnus's wrist like forged steel.His Alpha aura instantly flooded the area, and several wolves nearby lowered their eyes instinctively."Mr. Smith,

Chapter: Chapter 346Ava's POVI was stunned. Those earrings had always been with Laura and Kate. There was no way she would willingly part with them.I immediately looked up. "Did you negotiate with Laura?" My expression darkened. "Did she make things difficult for you?"The concern in my voice made Anderson laugh. He reached forward and lightly pinched my nose. "No."I glared at him. Anderson only smiled wider. "It wasn't Laura. It was Kate.""Kate?" I frowned.Immediately, Anderson's palm settled against my forehead again, smoothing away the wrinkle. His touch was annoyingly effective."I think she needed money." His expression turned thoughtful. "Maybe Beatrice's death finally made her realize the Smith family wasn't as stable as she believed."He shrugged. "So she took the earrings and tried to sell them."My eyes widened. "And you bought them back?"Anderson nodded. "That's all."I lowered my gaze to the earrings. "How much did you pay?"

Chapter: Chapter 345Ava's POVWood splintered across the floor. A pack of masked wolves stormed inside. Each one carried a heavy club. Their aggressive scents filled the room.My wolf instantly bared her fangs. It was obvious they weren't here to talk. They were here for blood.I frowned, and before I could say a word, the leader looked us over and barked at the men behind him."Those are the targets. Ava Smith and Kingsley Smith. Teach them a lesson!"My eyes narrowed. So that was it. The pieces clicked together instantly. Kingsley had publicly refused to support Laura at the hospital.She must have flown into one of her usual fits of rage and sent wolves after us. My wolf growled beneath my skin.Without wasting another second, I rushed back toward the couch and grabbed Kingsley's arm. "Kingsley!" I shook him hard. "Wake up!"His head lolled forward. "Laura sent people to kill us. Get up!"Unfortunately, despite how coherent he'd seemed during our conversa

Chapter: Chapter 344Ava's POVKingsley slowly dragged himself upright. His eyes were bloodshot and half-lidded from exhaustion and drinking."Ava," he said quietly. "I understand you now."I frowned. He laughed bitterly."I spent my whole life trying to be a good son." His gaze drifted somewhere far away. "But the moment I stopped standing on their side, everything disappeared."His jaw tightened. "Twenty years of loyalty meant nothing."The pain in his scent grew stronger."Even the sister I spoiled for over twenty years turned against me."His fingers curled into fists. "She mocked me, sneered at me, and called me weak. Said I was too soft whenever women were involved."His laugh sounded almost broken. "After everything I did for her, after all the times I protected her, the moment I refused to speak for her..." He shook his head. "She acted like I'd never been her brother."I stayed silent.Kingsley continued. "And Dad..." The word was filled wi

Chapter: Chapter 343Ava's POVAnderson didn't even blink. He remained perfectly calm."No." His answer was immediate. "I think allowing yourself to be used as someone's tool is what truly disgraces a family."Laura's face stiffened. "Anderson, have you been bewitched too?"My shoulders finally relaxed. The moment Anderson appeared, I knew the situation wouldn't spiral out of control.I walked to stand beside him. I turned to the officers and said calmly, "When Beatrice Stone died, neither Reuben nor I was at the hospital."I crossed my arms. "I didn't even know she was dead until Kingsley and Magnus called me." I locked gazes with the lead officer. "You can verify that easily."Before they could answer, Laura cut in. "What are you denying now?" Her voice became shrill. "You could have poisoned her beforehand."She pointed at me dramatically. "You could have easily put something in her food or in her medicine." Her eyes glittered maliciously. "You poisoned Mom. Yo

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."

Chapter: Chapter 454Aria's POVThe next morning, when I opened my bedroom door, I found a young lady already standing in the hallway.Judging by the slight stiffness in her posture, she'd been waiting for quite a while.I blinked in surprise."Why didn't you knock?"I asked softly after closing the bedroom door behind me to avoid waking Lana.The young woman immediately lowered her head respectfully."You arrived very late last night, Ms. Darvin."I didn't want to disturb your rest."Before I could answer, another familiar scent approached.It was Kathy. 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. "Eleanor Garfield's opinion of me didn't appear from nowhere. Ruth must have helped shape it."I leaned back into the leather seat. "I haven't become

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

Chapter: Chapter 185Dane’S POVI sat in the darkness, waiting.The chaos outside had worsened day after day. 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

Chapter: Chapter 184“Dane!” The tears wouldn’t stop flowing, no matter how much I tried. It was helpless. 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

Its face masked with something else... a cold, eerie monster.“Please.” I begged, struggling to run.To run as fast as I could.I bolted, my feet dragging against the wet sand beneath my bare feet but no matter how much I ran, the towering figure loomed over me.Watching.It raised its hands, picking me up by the collar of my silk dress.My feet kicked in the air, sweat turning into blood. 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. My knees buckled as my body crashed onto the floor.Am I dead?I looked around, screaming
