​I opened the details, my heart racing. Sure, their salary offer wasn't nearly as massive or life-changing as the astronomical paycheck the Stormfang Group was about to give me.

They wanted to build my career, put my art out into the world, and let me do what I actually loved.

  • HE CHEATED, I MATED WITH HIS UNCLE    FIRST DAY AT WORK

    CHAPTER 38: FIRST DAY AT WORK ZARA:I stepped out of the elevator and walked down the polished marble corridor of the twenty-ninth floor, glancing down at my watch. Exactly seven-fifteen in the morning. Perfect timing. I made my way straight to my new desk just outside the double doors of the CEO’s office, ready to tackle my very first day.Since I had spent part of the ten thousand dollars Darius gave me to buy a few emergency clothes, I was wearing a brand-new, extremely formal corporate outfit I had picked up from a local thrift store the night before. It was a modest, dark navy-blue pantsuit that completely covered most of my body. It was buttoned up high and entirely devoid of any flashiness. My hair was pulled back tightly into a severe, neat bun, and I wore zero makeup except for a clear, glossy balm on my lips. I wanted to look as plain and professional as humanly possible. The last thing I needed was for Mrs. Vance or anyone else in this building to accuse me of trying to se

  • HE CHEATED, I MATED WITH HIS UNCLE    SERENA'S ENDLESS DRAMA

    CHAPTER 37: SERENA'S ENDLESS DRAMA ZARA:As soon as Serena heard Rider's heavy footsteps and his voice booming from the doorway, her entire demeanor shifted in a split second. She pulled her hand away from my wrist with a hard, dramatic jerk, acting like I had just burned her or shoved her back. Then, in the most theatrical display I had ever witnessed, she collapsed backward onto the floor, letting out a sharp, breathless cry like she was in agonizing pain."Rider! Oh, Alpha, please help me!" she sobbed, clutching her side and pointing a trembling finger straight at me. "She accused me of stealing her things and pushed me! She just attacked me out of nowhere!"I rolled my eyes so hard it almost hurt, crossing my arms over my chest. "Pathetic. Try something a little more convincing next time, Serena. Because honestly, this acting of yours is becoming too boring."Rider didn't waste a single second listening to me. Panic flashed across his face, and he rushed past the threshold, sprin

  • HE CHEATED, I MATED WITH HIS UNCLE    BEING REPLACED

    CHAPTER 36: BEING REPLACED ZARA:I didn't waste any time after talking to Mia. I grabbed my bag, hailed a cab, and directed the driver straight to the Stormfang Pack house. My heart pounded against my ribs the entire ride, but my mind was made up. I had made it abundantly clear to Rider four days ago that we were officially done, that the bond was shattered. Because of that, I figured I could just walk in, grab my remaining clothes, and walk right back out without any major drama.​Boy, was I wrong.​When the cab dropped me off at the wrought-iron gates of the pack house, the two guards on duty stepped forward. As soon as they recognized me, their stern expressions melted into wide, genuine smiles.​"Zara! Good to see you back, Miss," the older guard greeted, actually looking relieved. "Man, we were hoping you'd return. That other madam, Serena? She's been an absolute nightmare—so mean, loud, and completely overbearing to everyone on the staff."​I just offered a tight, polite smile

  • HE CHEATED, I MATED WITH HIS UNCLE    CANDID ADVICE FROM MIA

    CHAPTER 35: CANDID ADVICE FROM MIAZARA:​I opened the details, my heart racing. Sure, their salary offer wasn't nearly as massive or life-changing as the astronomical paycheck the Stormfang Group was about to give me. But that wasn't what caught my attention. The real kicker was what they were offering: they wanted me as a designer. They wanted to build my career, put my art out into the world, and let me do what I actually loved.​Unlike Stormfang, where I was just going to be a glorified secretary—trapped playing assistant to the billionaire CEO who looked at me like I was nothing more than a charity case he pitied.​Standing there on the busy sidewalk, the phone felt heavy in my hand. I was completely torn. Part of me screamed to just take the Stormfang money, secure my dad's drugs, and shut my mouth. But another part of me—the artist who had spent years sketching dreams on paper—badly wanted to chase her actual passion.I stood there on the busy New York sidewalk, the digital glo

  • HE CHEATED, I MATED WITH HIS UNCLE    ANOTHER OFFER

    CHAPTER 34: ANOTHER OFFER ZARA:I stepped out of the CEO’s grand office and let out a long breath I didn't even realize I’d been holding. My knees felt a little weak, but I didn't care about that now. The most important thing to me now was that I had a job. A real, high-paying job.​I hurried down to the human resources department on the lower floor just like Darius had told me, and that’s where I met his executive assistant. Her name was Mrs. Vance, a sharp-looking, impeccably dressed woman with wire-rimmed glasses perched on her nose, and an aura that screamed she didn't take nonsense from anybody.“Good morning, ma'am,” I greeted as I stepped into her office.She looked up from her laptop and said “Miss Ravencrest?”I nodded, offering her a small smile.​She didn't waste any time as she got up from her seat like she had been expecting me. Without even offering a warm smile, she motioned for me to follow her as she began showing me around the sprawling 29th-floor executive wing, la

  • HE CHEATED, I MATED WITH HIS UNCLE    THE INTERVIEW

    CHAPTER 33:DARIUS:I sat behind my massive mahogany desk, keeping my face locked into a mask of cold, professional indifference as I watched Zara take a seat across from me. A deep, troubled frown was etched onto her face, and I could practically see the wheels turning in her head. She looked stunned, probably trying to figure out why I was acting like a total stranger and treating her with such freezing corporate formality after the raw, intimate night we had just shared in my suite last night.Well, she needed to know that this was the corporate world, and here, I was the boss. The Stormfang Group wasn't some mom-and-pop shop where you could mix personal drama with professional duties, and it certainly wasn't a place where a man showed weakness, hesitation, or emotional favoritism. I had single-handedly built this multi-billion-dollar empire through years of relentless hard work, cold strategy, and absolute determination. Every single employee under my roof knew the golden rule: I
