Plot Twists

I was once the beloved daughter of the powerful Alpha and Luna of The Midnight Ridge Pack. I thought I had everything—a loving family, a protective brother, and a perfect fated mate—Steve Dolton, the strongest Beta of The Midnight Ridge Pack and the man I had loved for eighteen years. But when I turned eighteen, my world shattered. I discovered that I had been switched at birth and that Penny was the true heir of the pack. In an instant, I became the most awkward existence within The Midnight Ridge Pack. Though my parents promised I would always be their daughter, when Penny offended The Rogue King, they didn’t hesitate to make me take the blame and threw me into the infamous rogue den. I endured torture from silver chains and wolfsbane, my body covered in scars, becoming the lowest slave in the rogue den. It wasn’t until the fifth year that my brother-Alpha Joe and my former fiancé- Steve, came to the rogue den to take me back to The Midnight Ridge Pack. I overheard the casual chatter of the servants. "Does she seriously think she can come back?" "She made Miss Penny suffer outside for over a decade, stole ten years of happiness from her, and now she has the audacity to return and keep taking what belongs to Miss Penny. Shameless." "I heard that bringing her back this time is to help Miss Penny..." My throat tightened, and my palms grew cold. "Julia, come back home with us. We were wrong about you!" "Steve and I will treat you twice as well. You're still our precious little princess!" Amid their urging and apologies, I loosened my hand grip on the tattered hem of my dress. I had already promised to marry the son of The Rogue King. Our wedding was just around the corner.

Chapter 1

Alpha Joe stood before me, his towering presence as commanding as ever. his jaw clenched in barely suppressed anger.

“Slave?” he barked, his voice echoing through the dilapidated walls of the rogue den.

I flinched, but only a little. “Yes, that’s what I am now. A rogue slave. Isn’t that what everyone’s been calling me?”

His amber eyes flared, his wolf not far from the surface. “Julia, you’re our sister! Who told you to call yourself a slave?”

“You sent me to the Rogue Den to atone for Penny’s sins, didn’t you? Did you really think a sinner would be treated well?”

Joe’s fists curled at his sides, and for a moment, I thought he might punch me.

“You were just about to agree to come home with us—you even got into the car!” he snapped, his frustration finally breaking through. “Why did you suddenly change your mind?”

My lips curved into a bitter smile. “ Perhaps this is where I truly belong.You were the ones who sent me here, remember?"”

Beta Steve, my former fiancé, stepped forward. “Julia, don’t say such things in anger. We’ve investigated what happened five years ago. You didn’t harm Penny on purpose that day.”

I scoffed. “Wow, five years to figure that out? Must’ve been a really tough case for you.”

Steve winced but pressed on. “We wronged you, Julia. And we regret it deeply. That’s why we came all the way from the Midnight Ridge Pack to take you home from this... this rogue den.”

“This place is too desolate,” Alpha Joe cut in, his tone softer now, almost pleading. “Too broken. It’s no place for someone like you—a young lady who was raised in comfort and love for over a decade.”

Comfort and love? I nearly laughed out loud. The only love I’d felt in that house was from my wolf, and even she had grown quiet after years of being suppressed by silver chains and wolfsbane.

Steve’s gaze flicked to my hands, and I caught the flash of pity in his eyes as he saw the rough, misshapen fingers I’d earned from years of hard labor. He spoke gently, as if trying to soothe a pup. “Julia, you don’t belong here. Come back with us, and we’ll make things right.”

My vision blurred for a moment, but I forced the tears back.

Five years. Five years of endless torment, of dreaming about the day my family would come for me. And when they finally did, when I climbed into that car with my heart pounding in hope...

I heard the whispers.

“She’s just a backup for Penny. Don’t know why Alpha Joe is wasting time on her.”

“She should be grateful we’re even bringing her back. After all, rogues don’t get second chances.”

The joy that had bloomed in my chest froze into something cold and brittle. Shock gave way to disappointment, and disappointment twisted into something darker.

My heart ached, but not from longing. No, this was the sting of betrayal.

The family I had waited so long to see again wasn’t truly remorseful. They didn’t want me back because they loved me or missed me. They wanted me because Penny had screwed up—again.

Chapter 2
I jumped out of the Bugatti’s back seat, the cold air biting through the thin fabric of my dress. My voice, no longer trembling with emotion, had settled into a dead calm. “Alpha Joe, Beta Steve, you must have had a hard time traveling all this way.” My gaze dropped to the filthy hem of my dress, stained with the dirt of this rogue den. “Five years is a long time. I’ve gotten used to it.” “This place suits me just fine. I don’t miss home anymore.” Joe’s lips pressed into a thin line, his wolf’s energy crackling faintly in the air. “And besides,” I continued, glancing at the sleek, spotless car beside us, “I’m covered in dirt and filth. Wouldn’t want to stain your precious Bugatti.” Alpha Joe’s chest rose and fell as he took a deep breath, trying to leash his growing anger. “Julia Barrett,” he growled, his voice low and threatening, “what exactly are you trying to say?” “I think I’m saying it pretty clearly,” I replied, crossing my arms. Joe’s composure finally snapped

Chapter 3
When I returned to my drafty little shack, it felt even emptier than usual—probably because all my belongings were gone. The rogue overseeing my work leaned against the doorframe with a grin wide enough to show off his crooked fangs. “Miss Julia, no more mucking stalls for you. Fancy servants from Midnight Ridge Pack came by and cleared out your things. They’ve sent it all to the Allison Hotel.” “You should go stay there.”I glanced around the tiny shack one last time, taking in the broken window patched with cloth, the battered cot, and the faint stench of damp hay. This place had been my home for five long years. I whispered under my breath, “Good riddance.” As I walked through the cold, snow-covered streets of Rogue Den, memories of my life here replayed in my mind. For five years, I had woken up before dawn, shackled with silver chains like the lowest slave, braving the knife-sharp winter wind to cut grass and feed the Rogue King’s livestock. After an entire day of herding,

I still remember the day Penny decided to become the poster child for ridiculous bravery. She stood before the Rogue King, her chin tilted in that defiant way that could only mean one thing—she was about to make a colossal mistake. And boy, did she deliver.She called him a "barbaric mongrel," publicly scorning him in front of his own rogues. I swear, even the wolves watching from the shadows flinched at her audacity.The Rogue King’s golden eyes glowed with fury. "If Penny isn’t sent to Rogue Den to answer for her insolence, Midnight Ridge Pack will face my wrath. My wolves will raze your lands until nothing remains but ashes and regrets."That was the first time I saw Penny lose her composure. Her face went pale, and her eyes glistened with unshed tears. "I don’t afraid going," she whispered, her voice trembling in just the right way to tug at heartstrings. "But… I can’t bear to leave my brother, my father, and my mother."Cue the dramatic silence as everyone looked at me like I was

Chapter 5
Penny descended the staircase , her mink-trimmed shawl bouncing with each step. Her feet were tucked into plush slippers, and the scent of something outrageously expensive perfume wafted toward me before she even reached the bottom step. When her gaze landed on me, her doe-like eyes widened in startled fear, the corners of her mouth trembling. “Big sister…” she said softly. I said nothing, my eyes trailing over her perfectly polished appearance—manicured nails, flawless skin, and the kind of Jewelrys that screamed privilege.Meanwhile, my own cracked, frostbitten fingers curled into fists at my sides. The bitter cold of Rogue Den hadn’t just bitten at my skin; it had left marks that no amount of Skin care products could cover. Penny’s eyes glistened, her nose reddening . A single crystalline tear rolled down her cheek. “Sister,” she whispered, her voice shaking just enough to sound vulnerable, “are you still angry with me? You haven’t forgiven me?” I raised an eyebrow but s

Chapter 6
That night, Beta Steve came looking for me, carrying a small bottle of medicine in his hand . I smelled him before I saw him—the mint and pine of his musk still clinging to my memories from years ago. It used to make my heart race. Now, it just made my wolf growl low and annoyed. When he finally stood before me, his brows knit, he sighed. “Julia, must you always be so stubborn? A simple apology would have ended all of this. Why make things so difficult?” “You’re acting like a slave on purpose, aren’t you? Just to stab Joe and Penny in the heart?” I curved my lips into the faintest hint of a smile. Did they even have a heart when it came to me? Back in Midnight Ridge Pack, I used to love listening to Beta Steve’s patient guidance. I had trusted him completely, relied on him. I had called him “Steve” with warmth and sincerity. Until the day he held a bloodied Penny in his arms, his expression filled with frantic worry, while his gaze toward me was as cold and sharp as a

Beta Steve’s face twisted . His eyes locked onto mine, wide and disbelieving. “Julia, what are you saying?” “Married? We have an engagement. We are fated mates. Where in this desolate Rogue Den could you possibly find someone better than me?” His composure crumbled further as his hand shot out, reaching for my wrist—scarred and far from the delicate thing he probably remembered. I pulled back, tucking my hands into my sleeves, keeping them firmly out of reach. “Don’t touch me,” I said coolly. They were no longer my family. I owed them nothing. Steve’s sharp gaze swept over my face, my hands. I knew exactly what he was looking at without him saying a word. Five years in Rogue Den had left its mark. My skin, once smooth, now bore the roughness of sanded wood. My once-pristine hands were calloused and cracked, unrecognizable from the pampered girl I’d been in Midnight Ridge Pack. Pity flickered in his gaze. “Julia,” he said softly, his voice dipped in forced tenderness. “Yo

Chapter 8
People live for themselves, don’t they? From the moment I first laid eyes on Xavier, I knew—he was my one chance to shed the stink of sheep and the chains of slavery. Two winters ago. The wind that day was like shards of glass, biting into my skin as I herded the sheep to find the last scraps of winter grass. Most of it was dead, buried under snow, but I didn’t have the luxury of returning empty-handed. That’s when they came. Panthera tigris. Not ordinary beasts, but sleek, razor-toothed monsters bred by Rogue Den’s royal family. Their fur shimmered under the weak sun, their low growls sending shivers down my spine. Even the most battle-hardened werewolves gave these predators a wide berth. The sheep scattered, bleating in terror. And before I knew it, one of the Panthera tigris lunged at them. Instinct took over—I threw myself between the beast and the flock. I barely registered the pain as its claws raked my ankle, shredding through skin and sinew like parchment. It’s

He froze for a moment, his cold amber eyes flickering with a strange glint. "Interesting," Xavier slipped off his black leather gloves with deliberate precision, his well-defined fingers brushing against my icy cheek. The warmth of his touch sent an unexpected shiver down my spine. "Remember, from now on, you belong to me." The words felt like a brand, searing into me. "You’ve lived in the rogue den long enough to know what happens to a disloyal Panthera tigris," he added, his eyes narrowing. He cast a quick glance at the guards standing silently behind him. "I don’t need a cripple. Take her to get her leg treated." From that day, everything changed. I didn’t just walk into Xavier’s world—I clawed my way in, holding on with a desperation only the forsaken could understand. The rogues who once lorded over me suddenly tread lightly in my presence. I no longer endured beatings that left me bloodied and broken or went hungry, scavenging scraps to survive. My bruises fa

Chapter 10
Early the next morning, I retrieved my identification card from the slave manager. The rogues, who usually found great joy in making my life miserable, handed it over without a fight. Suspiciously easy. I half-expected a trap, but instead of questioning it, I clutched the card to my chest. Five years. Five long, miserable years of being less than dirt, and now I was finally free. I would live for myself this time. Back in my hotel room, my newfound optimism was swiftly crushed. My suitcase lay open on the floor, my belongings scattered. A quick check revealed the worst—at the very bottom of the suitcase, Xavier’s medicine was missing. Over the years in the rogue den, my body had been wrecked—overworked, poisoned by wolfsbane, chained in silver. My wolf, weakened by prolonged suffering, could no longer shift. Every flare-up nearly cost me my life. If not for Xavier secretly providing me with medicine and care, I wouldn’t have lasted long enough for them to regret abandoning
