LOGINI am Alpha Bruce’s fated mate. But for eight years, I’ve been his dirty little secret, hiding in plain sight as his Beta. When I saw him preparing the grounds for the Luna ceremony, I thought he was finally going to announce me. But on our eighth anniversary, I saw a video posted by Seraphina, the daughter of the Silvermoon Pack’s Alpha. In it, she was coyly showing off the mating mark on her neck. The caption read: [Eight years apart, eight years you waited. I'm finally going to be yours!] And the hand holding her—I knew it instantly. It was Bruce’s. Only the spot on his wrist where my name had been tattooed now read ‘Seraphina.’ I ran out, desperate to confront them, but I was attacked by rogues on the way. I called for Bruce through our mind-link, over and over. The last time, I heard his voice, low and thick with desire: “Isadora? She was just a placeholder for you. A worthless, parentless she-wolf. She wouldn’t dare make a scene even if she knew.” Lost in despair, the fragile life I carried inside me flickered and died. But they didn’t know that a month ago, my birth parents—the Alpha and Luna of the Silvermoon Pack—had found me. I am the true Alpha’s daughter of the Silvermoon Pack. Seraphina is just an impostor. After the sterile cold of the surgery, the first thing I did was call my mother. “Mom, I’ve made up my mind. I’m coming home to take my place. I agree to the alliance you mentioned, but I want Seraphina exiled from the Silvermoon Pack!”

Why did she get to have everything, while I had nothing?""And so you switched the two infants?" the judge asked grimly."Yes!" Lisa wailed. "While the Luna was weak from childbirth, I secretly swapped them. I wanted my daughter to live the life of a princess, and I wanted that high-and-mighty woman to know the pain of losing a child!"My mother, sitting beside me, trembled with a rage that had been buried for two decades.Such a petty, baseless jealousy had cost her and her daughter so many years.I gently put my arm around her, swallowing the tears that threatened to fall.No matter what, I had survived those lonely years.The truth, hidden for two decades, was finally out."I've told you everything! Please, let me go see my daughter!" Lisa begged from the floor. "I just want to see her one last time!"The judge gra
The next day, Seraphina—who was supposed to be awaiting her trial before the pack tribunal—disappeared from her confinement.I wasn't particularly worried when the news reached me. Seraphina was no threat to me now.So I was surprised when she called me."Isadora, you want me dead, don't you? Fine!" Seraphina's voice was hoarse and crazed. "But I'm taking someone with me!"I frowned."I'm at the top of Moonlight Cliff," she said, her voice dropping to a sinister whisper. "And I have your precious Bruce right here with me. Get over here right now, or I'll kill him!"I could hear Bruce groan in pain over the phone. He was clearly being restrained.I was silent for a moment, then let out a small laugh. "Seraphina, I think you've made a mistake.""What do you mean?" she asked, a hint of panic in her voice."Why would you think I'd let you threaten me with Bruce?" I asked, my voice as cold as ice. "He means nothing to me."Then I hung up.On the other end of the line, the dial tone echoed i
The taste of power was addicting, but my real revenge was just getting started.As a warm-up, I set my sights on Bruce's pack.My mother had already quietly pulled all of her investments, but that was just the appetizer.The main course was about to be served."Isadora, the social media analytics are in," my personal assistant, Iris, reported excitedly. "Riding the wave of public opinion, your personal accounts have gained fifteen million followers in three days. Your total is now over thirty million!"I nodded, satisfied. This was exactly as I had planned.The power of public opinion was a formidable weapon.While the entire internet was condemning Bruce as a "Scum Alpha," I cultivated the image of an "Independent Female Alpha Heir," earning the support and admiration of millions.As for Bruce's "heartfelt" public apology, I replied with a single, brutal sentence:"I don't know you. Stay away."My cool, clean break only made the werewolf community admire me more.Bruce's move had been
(Isadora's Perspective)At that moment, I was on my first official date with Julian.To my surprise, he hadn't taken me to a bustling city center or a fancy restaurant. Instead, he drove me to a quiet valley on the outskirts of the city."Where are we?" I asked, looking around. The place felt vaguely familiar.The valley was bathed in moonlight, serene and beautiful. A small lake shimmered in the distance, surrounded by ancient, towering trees. The air was filled with the faint, sweet scent of sweet olive, putting my mind at ease."Moonlight Lake," Julian said, his voice gentle in the night air. "This is where I saw you for the first time."I froze. "The first time you saw me?"Julian nodded, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes. "Eight years ago. You were still in university.""You used to come here alone," he continued. "Whenever someone mocked your background or bullied you, you would come to this lake and cry by yourself."The memories rushed back.It was true. As an orphan in
