My Alpha Rejected Me Then Discovered I was Billionaire Luna
BLURB
He asked for a divorce before I could tell him I was carrying his child.
"Sign the papers tomorrow, Nora."
I did. Without a single tear.
What he never knew was that behind the quiet, obedient Luna he threw away stood a woman who owned half the empires powerful Alphas begged for help.
"Whoever he is," Kade's voice was low, rough, patient, "he's a fool."
Kade Parker found me broken on the outside. He never once flinched. He looked at me like I was something rare instead of something used up.
"I don't want the woman you think I need to be," I told him.
He stepped closer, close enough that I forgot how to breathe. "I don't want her either. I want you. All of you."
Then Damien started noticing what he threw away.
"You're mine, Nora." His hand found my jaw, desperate, undone. "I was blind. Give me one more chance."
Two Alphas. One woman done begging for love.
"You had three years," I whispered. "Now you'll watch me choose."
The war for me was only beginning, and I intended to win it on my own terms.

Chapter: CHAPTER Ninety twoNora's POVI had stalled for three hours and twenty-six minutes.I'd argued with Venn over the clause of a contract that didn't exist. I'd demanded water for my mother, a blanket for my mother, a chair for my mother. I'd asked him, politely and repeatedly, to explain the old law of the seat, until even he began checking his watch. Every minute I bought was a minute for Cassian's convoy to cross the hills. Every minute also dragged the rising water higher behind that steel door.At eleven fifteen I heard the front door open, and I knew without turning who had walked in.I knew by the particular way the air changed. By the quiet, careful rhythm of his footsteps. By the small, answering click of the key in my own hand, because some part of me had been waiting for him all night.I turned the key.The lock gave with a deep, soft thunk, like a heart beginning to beat. The steel door swung inward, slow and heavy, and white light flooded the foyer, so bright that everyone flinched. When my ey

Chapter: CHAPTER Ninety oneKade's POVThe courtyard had gone silent. Nine alphas stood motionless beside their cars, and none of them looked at me. It was the sort of politeness you show a man who has just been struck."Say it again," I told my father."Not here, Kade.""Say it *here.*"He stopped three paces away, Helena's blanket still crushed in his fist. For the first time in my life, my father didn't look like an Alpha. He looked like an old man who had carried something heavy up too many stairs."Forty years ago," he began, "I was a young Beta with a bad temper and a worse reputation. Blackridge was nearly bankrupt. Half the council wanted to sell our southern ridge to the Ashworths, and I had no way to stop them." He swallowed. "A woman came to see me. Slim, dark-eyed, barely thirty. She said she represented a family who preferred not to be named. She offered to pay every debt Blackridge owed, in exchange for one promise.""Helena Voss," I said."Yes." His voice cracked on it. "She asked that Blackridge

Chapter: CHAPTER NinetyNora's POVNothing happened.I had expected thunder, or a surge of power, or a bell tolling somewhere deep in the earth. Instead the room stayed exactly as it was: the lamp, the wheelchair, the dark red wax on the document. A thin, lined woman crying silently into her cardigan."Mama." I took her face in both hands. "Look at me. It's not your fault.""I should have known." She shook her head. "Forty years I guarded those words, and he tricked me out of them in one breath.""He tricked us both." I wiped her cheeks with my thumbs. "Is it true? Is the seat really mine now?""It's yours." She drew a breath, and her whole body seemed to straighten. "It was always going to be yours, Nora. I just wanted you to have a few more ordinary years first."Behind us, Venn had settled into the armchair by the window and crossed one leg over the other, like a man at a lecture he'd given many times. The guard stood at the door with his arms folded. Neither of them looked worried.That should have frigh

Chapter: CHAPTER Eighty NineKade's POVI called the number back eleven times.Eleven rings, eleven stretches of silence, and on the twelfth a recorded voice informed me that the subscriber was unavailable. I stood in the corridor with my daughter on my shoulder and my phone crushed in my fist, and for the length of one full breath I couldn't remember how to move."Alpha." Torres's hand landed on my arm. "We have the route. Forty minutes north of the Whitlock farm, east entrance, Odette's guard rotations. We can be at Hollowgate before midnight.""Then we go now.""Kade, who keeps Helena?"I looked down at her. She had woken at some point during the call and was watching me with huge, solemn eyes, one damp fist wound into the collar of my shirt. She didn't cry. She never cried when she sensed something was wrong. She simply watched, absorbing everything, a trait she'd inherited from her mother."Margaret," I said. "And my father. They don't leave her side. Nobody enters that wing without both of them present.""D

Chapter: CHAPTER Eighty EightNora's POVI don't know how long I stood in that doorway.The woman in the wheelchair watched me with polite curiosity, the same look she gave to strangers on the street. My mother had never once looked at me like that. Not in the kitchen, not at the bus stop, not on the night she'd hugged me too tightly and told me to be brave."She doesn't know you," Venn said, almost kindly. "I'm sorry for that. It was necessary.""What did you do to her?""Kept her alive." He set the crystal glass on the bedside table. "Do you know how many people wanted Helena Voss dead? Vivian Ashworth wanted it most of all, and Vivian was patient. She waited until your mother had spent twenty years hiding. Then she set the fire." His pen tapped once against the table. "I was the one who pulled her from it, Luna. Not out of loyalty. Out of curiosity. A true Patron is worth more breathing than burned.""You kept her prisoner for years.""I kept her *medicated.* There's a distinction." He lifted a small paper cup

Chapter: CHAPTER Eighty SevenKade's POVI closed the door.Every instinct I owned screamed at me to cross the room and tear my daughter out of that woman's arm, but the rifle lay across Odette's knees with the safety off, and Helena's small head rested a handspan from its barrel. So I did the hardest thing I have ever done. I stood still."Good," Odette said. "Sit, Alpha.""I'll stand.""As you like." She resumed rocking. The chair creaked softly against the floorboards, a sound I had heard a thousand times and would hear in my nightmares for the rest of my life. "You've been quick. I expected another hour, at least. Damien must have been faster than Venn promised.""He's a clever one." She sighed. "It's a pity. I always liked clever children.""Odette." I kept my voice level. "Put the rifle down.""I'm not going to shoot her, Kade." She looked almost offended. "I've held that child since the night she was born. I taught her to say 'biscuit.' Do you honestly believe I would harm her?""You let a stranger into her

The Wife They Tried To Replace
BLURB
Three years.
Three years of making his oatmeal every morning. Three years of waiting for texts he never
sent. Three years of smiling at people who looked at me like I didn't belong.
And the whole time, I was just a replacement for my own twin sister.
"You guys know why I went after her in the first place."
"Because she looked like Serena."
"They're twins. What did you expect?"
I heard every word through the noise of that bar. Every single one. Marco never loved me. He
loved my face because it looked like hers. And the moment Serena came back to the city, I
became nothing.
"I'm Serena. Serena Ricci. Though I'm sure people can tell us apart easily enough. There's
always a prettier version, right?"
My sister smiled at me like she hadn't just stolen my whole life from under me. And Marco stood
right there beside her, holding her hand, in front of everyone.
So I made a call I never thought I would make.
"Dad. I'm ready to come home."
I had run away from my family, my name, and the man they chose for me three years ago. An
arranged engagement to someone I once saw as nothing more than my cold, strict tutor. I swore
I would never go back.
But the night I watched Marco catch Serena in his arms while a room full of people cheered, I
realized something. The man I ran from never once made me feel like a substitute. The man I
ran to never once made me feel like enough.
"Is there something you want to say to me?"
Marco stood in our bedroom doorway, smiling, waiting for me to hand him an expensive gift.

Chapter: chapter One Hundred FourteenDante’s POVValentina wouldn’t take my hand.I stood there with my fingers outstretched, watching her hold the little girl against her chest. She wasn’t crying. Somehow, that was worse.“Valentina, please.”She looked at the screen.“Did you choose me or the baby?”“I don’t remember.”“Look at me and answer.”“I can’t answer something I don’t remember doing.”She finally turned toward me.“Then help me remember.”I wanted to tell her I would. I wanted to promise that we would find the truth together, that whatever Helena had done could be undone.But the footage had shown me standing beside her hospital bed, covered in blood, while Helena offered me a choice.Save my wife.Or save a child.I couldn’t imagine a world in which I would willingly choose between them.Yet someone had recorded me doing exactly that.“I need to see the rest of the footage,” I said.Helena gave a quiet laugh.“There’s no rest.”I turned on her.“Then what was the point of showing it?”“To remind you that you

One hundred thirteenValentina’s POVThe gunshot was followed by a heavy thud.“Dante!”I couldn’t see anything. The room had plunged into complete darkness, and people were shouting from every direction.I reached for the nearest person, but my fingers caught only empty air.“Dante, answer me!”“I’m here!”His voice came from my left.I stumbled toward it, knocking into a chair. Someone grabbed my wrist.I screamed and tried to pull free.“It’s me!” Serena gasped. “It’s Serena!”I stopped fighting.“Where is Dante?”“I don’t know. Stay down!”Another shot rang out.A small hand slipped into mine.The little girl.I knew it was her before she spoke.“Mommy, I’m scared.”I pulled her against me.“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ve got you.”I didn’t know whether that was true, but I couldn’t let her hear the fear in my voice.Emergency lights flickered on.The room appeared in fragments: Helena beside the wall, Elena crouched behind the cot, Serena on the floor, and Adrian leaning against the doorway.Dante was n

Chapter: CHAPTER One Hundred TwelveDante’s POVValentina looked at me as though she no longer knew who I was.I couldn’t blame her.The photograph in Helena’s hand showed me holding a newborn outside a hospital. Valentina lay unconscious in the bed behind us, and the note on the back carried her signature.I AGREED TO GIVE HER AWAY.I had never seen that photograph before.But I remembered the hospital.I remembered the blood on my hands, the doctors refusing to answer my questions, and a nurse telling me that Valentina needed rest. I remembered being taken into a separate room and shown a baby I was told hadn’t survived.Most of all, I remembered the woman who had approached me afterward.My mother.She had looked me in the eyes and told me there was nothing left to save.I had believed her.That was the mistake I had spent years trying to correct.“Valentina, listen to me.”She shook her head.“Did you know about the photograph?”“No.”“Did you know about the baby?”I hesitated.Her face changed.“Dante.”“I knew you

Chapter: CHAPTER One Hundred elevenValentina’s POVThe Ferraro estate had been abandoned for twenty years, but someone had recently been there.I noticed the lights first.Three floors of the old mansion stood in darkness, except for a single window on the upper level. A faint yellow glow spilled through the curtains, making the place look less abandoned than forgotten.The iron gates hung open.Dante parked several metres from the entrance and switched off the engine.Neither of us spoke immediately.I stared at the house, remembering what Adrian had told us.Don’t trust the woman who looks like Valentina. Both of them.I had no idea what that meant.One woman with my face was already enough to make me question everything I knew about myself. Now there were apparently two.Dante reached across the console and took my hand.“Whatever happens inside, stay close to me.”I looked at him.“You know I can’t promise that.”His jaw tightened.“Valentina.”“If one of our children is in danger, I’m going to help them.

Chapter: CHAPTER
One Hundred NineValentina’s POV“Which Valentina are you taking home?”Helena’s question kept playing in my head.I barely heard the children crying around me. All I could see was the woman lying on the floor, blood spreading beneath her white coat.She had my face.My name.And a birth certificate claiming she had been born six years before me.I looked at Dante.He was kneeling beside Adrian, pressing a hand against the wound in his father’s chest. Serena was shouting for someone to find a medical kit, while Emilia tried to gather the frightened children away from the open chambers.Nobody was looking at me.Nobody seemed to know what to do.I turned toward the woman.“Can you hear me?”Her eyelids fluttered.I dropped beside her and pressed my hands against the wound.“Stay with me. Please.”She caught my wrist.Her grip was surprisingly strong.“Don’t let them close the doors.”“Who shot you?”Her eyes moved toward the ceiling.“Helena.”A burst of static came from the speakers.Then Helena laugh

One Hundred EightDante’s POVFor several seconds, nobody moved.Seven children stood behind the glass chambers, each wearing the same silver bracelet. Some looked frightened. Others stared at us with the strange stillness of children who had been taught not to ask questions.Then the little girl who looked like Valentina pressed both palms against the glass.“Mommy?”Valentina made a sound beside me.I caught her arm before she could rush forward.“Wait.”She turned on me, tears filling her eyes. “Dante, look at her.”“I see her.”“No, you don’t understand. She has my face.”I understood more than I wanted to.The girl’s dark hair fell across her forehead exactly as Valentina’s did when she woke up. Even the small birthmark beneath her left ear matched the one my wife had carried since childhood.But there was something else.The boy standing two chambers away had my eyes.Not similar eyes. Mine.He studied me without blinking, his little fingers curled around the edge of his blanket.I had spent year
