The Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Declared Dead, Returned Dangerous
Three years ago, Avery Thorne married Julian Sterling for love. Today, she found out she was actually a human blood bank.
While Avery sat in a hospital bed, Julian was busy transferring her patents, her fortune, and her very name to his mistress, Sarah. By the time the divorce papers were signed, the legal system no longer recognized Avery’s face. To the world, she is a delusional stalker named Sarah Vance. To Julian, she is a loose end that needs to be buried.
Arrested and erased from her own life, Avery is left with nothing but fifty dollars and the knowledge of every security flaw in the empire she built. But Julian made one fatal mistake: he left her alive.
From the shadows of the city she once owned, Avery begins a cold and calculated war. She isn't just coming back for her money or her company—she is coming back for her soul. And this time, she won't be the one bleeding.

Chapter: 004_The Mother’s VisitAvery’s POVI didn't sleep as much as Marcus told me to. Every time I closed my eyes I could still feel the phantom pressure of the needle in my arm. So I spent most of the night sitting by the window and watching the city lights flicker while I drank tea that had gone cold hours ago.I was just starting to think about getting into the shower when a loud and frantic knocking started at my door. I knew it wasn't Marcus. He never made that much noise unless he was trying to break something down.I pulled my new silk robe tighter around my waist and walked over to the door. When I opened it I saw Julian’s mother, Beatrice Sterling, standing there with her face twisted into a mask of pure fury and her expensive leather handbag clutched so tight her knuckles were white."How dare you hide away in this penthouse while my son is losing everything he worked for?! And how dare you use your family's dirty money to sabotage a man who gave you the best three years of your life?" Beatrice shouted

Chapter: 003_The Price of a SuiteAvery’s POVStill, as the elevator doors glided shut on Julian’s stunned face, I felt the slight pressure in my stomach as the lift rose toward the top floor. I just stood there watching the gold numbers climb while I tried to keep my hands from shaking.I reached the penthouse level and stepped out into a hallway that smelled like expensive lilies and fresh wax. The was already there waiting for me with a spare robe and a pair of soft slippers that he had clearly scrambled to find in the last two minutes.I couldn't help but wonder how he got here before me.He started apologizing again for the confusion in the lobby and kept talking about how they were going to fire the doorman for his behavior. But It was becoming unbearable, so I told him to stay quiet and leave me to the suite. I didn't have the energy to listen to him grovel while my head was still spinning from the blood loss.The suite was massive with floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out over the entire business district.

Chapter: 002_The Exit and the EntryAvery’s POVI walked through the hospital's lobby with my head held high. I could feel the eyes of the receptionist on me as she whispered something into her headset while looking at my wrinkled clothes and the bandage on my arm.I knew she had probably seen the news leak Julian mentioned, and to her, I was just the "unstable" wife who had finally lost her mind. But I didn't stop to explain myself to a woman who wouldn't be able to afford my shoes in a week.I pushed through the heavy glass doors. The humid city air hit me like a wall, but I didn't look for Julian’s car or wait for a driver that was never coming. I walked straight to the edge of the curb and pulled out the burner phone again. My thumb hovered over the contact list that I hadn't touched in three years.I dialed the number for Leo, my family’s old head of security. It didn't even ring twice before he picked up with a voice that sounded like he had been sitting by the phone for years waiting for this specific call."Miss

Chapter: 001_The Blood DebtAvery’s POVThe fluorescent lights in the recovery room were humming in a way that made my head feel like it was splitting open. I could still feel the cold sting in my vein where the nurse had just finished drawing a pint of my blood.I had been doing this every month for three years because Julian told me his sister was dying of a rare condition, and since I was the only one who matched her blood type, I never said no.I leaned back against the thin pillow trying to reach for the water on the side table; but my hand was shaking so hard I almost knocked the glass over.The door swung open with a bang and Julian walked in, but he didn't have flowers or even a look of concern on his face.He was wearing a custom suit that cost more than most people made in a year, and he looked perfectly composed while I sat there feeling like a ghost. He didn't even say hello; he just pulled a thick envelope out of his jacket and tossed it onto my lap, right on top of the fresh bandage on my arm."Sig

Bound By Love And Prophecy
"Yield Jessica! You know you can't defeat her!"
"This is foolishness, Jess! You have to end it. Your bones are broken, and you are bleeding. If this continues, she will kill you!"
They said to her through the mind-link. With her eyes glaring at her opponent, and a grin playing on her busted lips, she said the word, "Never."
Everyone thought she was insane and stupid, but not him—not the Alpha of the Blackwood pack.
Michael sat in his chair, staring at her. She wasn't a Warrior or a Shifter; she wasn't even an Awakened yet. He couldn't explain what was going on. He was drawn to her, and he didn't know why.
Never in Jessica's life did she think a day like this would come. Being the weakest person in the Redwood Pack, she was always treated badly. From the day she was brought to the pack, she was considered a nobody. But that all changed when Alpha Michael arrived.
As mysteries begin to unfold, and prophecies resurface, will things get better for Jessica, or will it all get worse?

Chapter: 90_Using The Powers Within Again Jessica's POV“Jessica!” Someone screamed.Eric was beside me in an instant, his sword glowing with a faint silver light.He swung at the wraith, the blade passing through it — not solid enough to kill it, but enough to make it recoil with a shriek."What the..." My voice faded.I was stunned.This was bad. The sword didn't cause much damage to it like before.Jake and Chris fought back-to-back, Chris’s blade cutting through the air while Jake hurled daggers made of pure silver. They didn’t kill the wraiths, but they slowed them down, making them dissolve into mist before reforming again.“They don’t die!” Jake shouted. “Why?”“Because these are souls bound by blood magic!” Evelyn yelled, her hands glowing even brighter. “We have to break the magic holding them here — or they’ll just keep coming!”My eyes shut to her.That was new information.How did she know?One wraith darted toward her, but before it could reach her, Evelyn threw out a bolt of blue light.It struck the creature, m

Chapter: 089_On Werewolf Soil?Jessica's POVWe headed on our way again, through the forest.This was the second day, and hopefully, we were closer to the Redwood Pack.Crossing a line of weirdly shaped trees, my stomach twisted.That smell hit me again. But I didn't say anything about it.There was no need to spark a flame of fear in others.But the more went deeper, the more the smell grew stronger.The scent of blood thickened with every step — sharp, metallic, and cold. It clung to the air, heavy and suffocating, but there was something else beneath it — a sickly undertone — just like the one back at the Pack that led me into the woods.The smell of death.No one said a word, but from the looks of things — this time — I wasn't the only one who caught the scent.Jake, usually the first to crack a joke, was silent, his hand resting on the hilt of his blade. Chris moved like a shadow beside him, his sharp gaze flickering between the trees, every muscle in his body coiled like a spring. Evelyn's fingers glowed f

Chapter: 88_Everyone Has A Sad StoryJessica's POVI didn’t speak. I didn’t know what to say.Her voice cracked — slightly. "We didn’t know why they attacked. They came at dusk — an entire pack. We tried to fight back, but our magic…" She swallowed hard. "It was gone. Spells fizzled out of our fingertips like smoke. The elders — the same ones who could bend fire and summon storms — were left defenseless."My heart pounded. "What happened?"Evelyn's eyes darkened. "They killed everyone. Tore through the village like it was nothing. I was a child — I didn’t understand why the magic wasn’t working. I hid under a cart while the wolves ripped through the elders like they were made of paper. The trees — the same ones that once shielded us — did nothing. The rivers stopped glowing. It was like Mother Nature herself had abandoned us."The hair on my arms rose.Eric’s jaw was tight, his silence heavier than the night closing in around us.And suddenly, the air felt colder.I couldn’t shake the image from my mind — a land so conne

Chapter: 087_A Witch's Side Of The StoryJessica's POVThe silence grew wider, spreading like a fog around us.“What?” I blurted, my face instantly heating.Evelyn bit back a laugh, and Chris’s stoic expression cracked — the corner of his mouth twitching into a smirk.Jake leaned forward, clearly reveling in my discomfort. “You heard me.”I looked at Eric. He didn’t move, didn’t blink — just stared at me across the fire with an unreadable expression.My stomach flipped. “No.”Jake clutched his chest dramatically. “Aw, come on. It’s just a kiss.”I shook my head, heat creeping up my neck. “I’m not kissing him.”Jake's grin only grew. “Then you know what that means.”I blinked. “What?”Evelyn sighed. “If you refuse a dare, you get a punishment.”Jake tapped his chin in mock thought. “Let’s see… I dare you to walk to that tree.” He pointed to a tall, gnarled tree at the edge of the clearing, its trunk twisted and dark. “With your eyes closed.”I frowned. “That’s it?”Jake smirked. “Oh, you’ll love it. Just you, the dark, and wh

Chapter: 086_A Human Game Jessica's POV"Jake!" Eric Groaned."What?" Jake grinned. "I’m just saying — it's better for her to stick with us than wander off alone."Despite myself, I felt a flicker of amusement. They weren’t exactly welcoming, but they weren’t as stiff and cold as I first thought.Evelyn adjusted her bag again. "We’re here to help, Jessica. Like it or not."I met her gaze for a long moment before finally — reluctantly — uncrossing my arms."Fine," I muttered. "Let’s just get moving."Eric’s smirk was back, but he didn’t say anything this time.The forest seemed darker than I remembered.The trees loomed high above us, their gnarled branches reaching out like skeletal fingers.Shadows stretched long and thin across the narrow path, twisting with every flicker of wind.Somewhere in the distance, a raven cawed, its echo slicing through the silence.I walked near the back of the group, keeping a deliberate distance from Eric and his companions.My thoughts were a tangled mess — Scarlet, the prophec

Chapter: 085_New Sides Of The ProphecyJessica's POVI bit my lower lip, the sharp sting a cruel reminder of just how close I was to drawing blood.Eric's words hung in the air like a storm cloud.None of it made sense.Every scattered piece of information I'd tried so hard to fit together now lay shattered at my feet, a broken puzzle with too many missing pieces.And it was starting to get under my skin."So…" My voice came out steadier than I felt. "What do you suggest I — I mean we — do now?"Eric's hands slid into his pockets, his shoulders stiffening slightly. His usual careless charm was nowhere to be found."Now?" he said, his voice calm, yet firm. "I’m taking you back to your Pack."I blinked, my heart skipping a beat. "The Redwood Pack? Why?"Eric's jaw clenched for a brief moment. "That’s the only way I can think of keeping you safe." His gaze flickered to the trees behind me before meeting my eyes again. "I would’ve preferred to train you myself — to have my people help you control your powers — but—""Wait," I
