— AVERY POV —

I stayed in my room all day.

I didn’t eat. I didn’t drink. I didn’t even open the curtains. The room was dark, and I loved it that way because it matched what I felt inside. Empty, heavy, broken.

My mind kept replaying everything I overheard at the store.

Jessica.

The name wouldn’t leave my head. Damon had a fiancée. A woman who was elegant, beautiful, and loved by everyone in this pack.

So that was why they all hated me…

That was why Penelope looked at me like I was trash bin. That was why those maids mocked me. That was why the pack didnt welcome me. They already had their Luna… and it wasn’t me.

My chest hurt like someone had taken a blade and carved a hole through my heart. I should have known. Why would someone like Damon, an Alpha, a man with so much power, ever choose someone like me? A wolfless omega. A mistake of fate.

He never promised me anything. He never said he loved me. So why… why does it hurt so much?

A soft knock came at the door.

“Miss Avery?” Maya

  • The Wrong Alpha’s Heir    Chapter 115

    —•AVERY•— The air in the golf course shifted like a tide that had suddenly gone still. Damon’s presence was like a heavy storm cloud — dark, suffocating, and impossible to ignore.He stood there with that same commanding aura I’d seen the night I snuck into his mansion — the night I nearly got caught. Just the memory made my stomach twist. Would he recognize me? I was wearing a mask, my hair covered, my eyes almost unseen…but Damon wasn’t like other men. He was the Alpha. If anyone could sense me —truly sense me— it was him.I swallowed hard, forcing myself to breathe normally. I sat straight, trying to appear calm even though my pulse was running wild. If Damon remembered— if he somehow connected me to that night —then everything I’d built as Alice White could crumble in seconds.All around, I heard chairs scrape against marble as people hurried to rise.“Alpha Damon,” voices echoed in perfect unison.Everyone stood to bow — everyone except Taylor and me.Taylor sat coolly beside m

    —•AVERY•—Taylor’s car smelled faintly of leather and mint—clean, masculine, and strangely comforting. I sat beside him, my eyes fixed on the blur of the road as the city passed by in slow rhythm. The silence between us wasn’t uncomfortable, but it was heavy–filled with things unsaid.Then, out of nowhere, Taylor spoke. “You hate car rides, don’t you?”The question came out of nowhere, so sudden that I blinked and turned to him, startled. “What?”He looked at me briefly, a small amused smile forming on his lips. “You hate them,” he said again, like it wasn’t a question this time but something he knew for sure.My eyebrows furrowed. “How–how did you know?”Taylor chuckled under his breath, shaking his head slightly as his hand gripped the steering wheel. “It’s written all over you,” he said with that calm tone of his. “You keep fidgeting with your hands. You stare out the window but never really look at anything. You’re just waiting for the ride to end.”A small, embarrassed laugh esc

  • The Wrong Alpha’s Heir    Chapter 113

    ***IRENE ***That was when I saw her.Jess —curled up in a corner, her shoulders trembling, eyes red and wet with tears.My heart dropped. “Jess!” I rushed forward, crouching in front of her. “What happened? Who did this?”Jess quickly looked up, her teary eyes darting to the others standing behind me. She didn’t say anything. Her lips trembled slightly, but she just shook her head.I turned my glare on the other women. “Out. All of you. Now.”They didn’t hesitate—within seconds, the hallway was empty.I turned back to Jess, my voice gentler now. “Jess, talk to me. What happened?”She sniffed, wiping her nose with the back of her hand. Her voice came out small and broken. “Ryan… he threatened me.”I blinked. “What?” The word came out sharper than I intended.Jess clenched her hands tightly together. “He… he cornered me in the parking lot. He said if I don’t convince you to revoke your order, he’ll make Justin’s life in the pack miserable.”My chest tightened. Justin. Her mate.I fel

  • The Wrong Alpha’s Heir    Chapter 112

    —•AVERY•— I watched Ryan, silent and unreadable, though inside, something bitter stirred.If only he knew.If only he knew the woman standing before him was the same “weak omega” he had once thrown away without a second thought.If only he knew Avery—the one he mocked, spat on, rejected—was the one now looking down on him.I didn’t say another word. I just stared at him, the corner of my lips barely curving, not into a smile, but into something sharper.He didn’t know that the woman he had destroyed once was now the one holding all the power.Strictly speaking, Ryan Waters had no idea who he was really shaking hands with.And I had no intention of telling him.Ryan was still smiling when I met his gaze, confident and cocky, like he already assumed the meeting would go his way.“I’m afraid you came for nothing, Mr Waters,” I said flatly.His brows furrowed. “Excuse me?”“I said,” I repeated slowly, letting each word fall sharp like glass, “We have no business to discuss.”He blinked,

  • The Wrong Alpha’s Heir    Chapter 111

    —•AVERY•— When I finally reached the mansion gates, my stomach churned. The guards bowed as I drove in, but I barely noticed. My whole body felt numb.I parked the car and sat there for a moment, staring out the windshield. The world outside looked calm—too calm. Like the world didn’t know something terrible was about to happen.When I finally stepped out of the car, Mrs. Brianne came rushing to meet me. “Dear, you’re back. You look pale—are you alright?”I forced a small smile. “I’m fine. Just… a little tired.”She frowned, clearly unconvinced, but didn’t push further. I walked past her and entered the mansion, each step feeling heavier than the last. When I got inside, the house was quiet except for the faint sound of plates clinking from the dining area. Jess was sitting at the table, halfway through dinner, her phone beside her. The air smelled like roasted chicken and rice.The moment she saw me, she froze mid-bite, her eyes wide. “Avery!” she exclaimed, quickly wiping her mout

  • The Wrong Alpha’s Heir    Chapter 110

    —•AVERY•— The drive back home felt longer than it actually was. My hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. Every time I blinked, the seer’s words echoed in my head like a haunting melody I couldn’t escape.‘Never acknowledge him as your son.Your wolf must never awaken.He will die.’ Those words spun around in my mind until I thought I’d go mad. I pressed harder on the accelerator, trying to drown my thoughts with the sound of the engine, but nothing helped. My chest felt tight, my throat burned, and my eyes stung with unshed tears.I could still see the seer’s face in my mind—the strange calm in her eyes, the way she said my name like she had known me forever. And that power… that cold, mysterious aura that clung to her. She didn’t lie. I could feel it. Whatever she was, she wasn’t ordinary.The thought of my mother made my heart twist painfully. ‘She sacrificed her life to protect you.’ Was that true? Did she really die because of me?My fingers trem
