— 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 25

    — AVERY POV — I stayed in my room all day. The curtains were closed, and the sunlight couldn’t come in. I didn’t want it to. I didn’t want anything bright or warm. I just lay there, curled up on the bed like a child, hugging the pillow so tight as if it could fill the emptiness inside me.My pup…That was all I had now. My little baby. My only family. My reason to keep breathing.I placed my palm over my stomach and whispered, “It’s just you and me now, little one. Only you.” My voice cracked, but I bit down on the sob threatening to escape.The door suddenly opened. I didn’t even look up. “Maya, I wish to be alone,” I said, my voice soft, tired.There was a pause. “It’s me.”The deep voice froze me in place. My heart stopped, then thudded so loudly it felt like he could hear it from where he stood.I turned sharply. Damon.He was back.He stood by the doorframe, his tall figure almost filling the space. His hair was messy, his shirt slightly unbuttoned like he hadn’t cared how he l

  • The Wrong Alpha’s Heir    Chapter 24

    — AVERY POV — The clinic doors clicked shut behind me, the sterile scent of antiseptic still clinging to my clothes. The check-up had gone well—the pup was healthy, growing strong. The healer’s words echoed faintly in my head. “Everything is fine. You need to rest more, Miss Avery. Your pup needs strength.”I gave a small nod, pretending I believed her when she said everything was fine. But deep down, I was exhausted. Tired of pretending I was strong when every part of me just wanted to curl up and disappear.The evening air brushed my face as I stepped outside. The sky was slowly bleeding into shades of orange and purple, the sun dipping low behind the trees. A black Sedan was waiting near the clinic steps. The door swung open and James, the butler, stood there in his crisp suit like always. His face was crinkled as he bowed slightly.“Miss Avery.” His voice was polite.I forced a faint smile, even though I knew he didn’t really see me as the alpha’s woman. None of them did. I was

  • The Wrong Alpha’s Heir    Chapter 23

    — DAMON POV — The cold shower didn’t help. Not one damn bit.I gripped the edge of the marble sink, water dripping down my chest as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. The beast in me wasn’t calm—he was wide awake, prowling, clawing for the little omega who had locked herself in that room all day.Avery. Even saying her name in my head made my chest tighten and my cock twitch with hunger I couldn’t tame.I tried. I truly fucking tried to stay away, to leave her be, to let her process whatever foolish idea had crawled into her stubborn little head. But every second she refused to eat, every minute she shut me out, it burned through my veins like fire.I didn’t want to admit what I did next, but hell… I’m not some saint. I yanked the towel from my hips and slumped onto the chair in my private lounge. My fists clenched, nails digging into my palms as the image of her flashed behind my eyelids—her soft lips trembling when she looked at me earlier, those wide innocent eyes, the defi

  • The Wrong Alpha’s Heir    Chapter 21

    — AVERY POV — Yesterday was the first time I saw her. The woman who didn’t even need to say a word to make me feel small. Her presence alone was enough.Penelope Blackfang. Damon’s stepmother. The former Luna of the Ironcrest Pack.That name sounded powerful, intimidating. And the way her eyes raked over me, like I was a stain on her expensive shoe, told me everything I needed to know—she hated me. Not just disliked me, not just disapproved… but hated me with every elegant bone in her body.I should’ve been terrified. A few weeks ago, I would have been. A few weeks ago, someone like her could’ve crushed me with just a glare, and I would’ve apologized.But now?Now, there was Damon.The man who stood like a wall between me and the rest of the world. The man who silenced that smug head maid, Benita, with a single cold command. The man who stripped her of her title and punished everyone who mocked me. All because they hurt me.That thought… it made me feel safe. Like no one could harm

  • The Wrong Alpha’s Heir    Chapter 20

    — DAMON POV — The door to my office swung open without a knock. A sharp click, then a violent slam that echoed off the walls. I didn’t bother looking up from the territory maps spread across my desk. I already knew who’d barged in unannounced—only one person in Ironcrest was arrogant enough to do so. “You shame this pack,” Penelope hissed, each word slicing through the heavy silence like a blade. “You disgrace our family name by bringing that Red Stone whore here!” Her voice rose, trembling with indignation. “Your father would be disgusted!”My fingers stilled over the map’s edge. Slowly, I lifted his gaze. My stepmother stood framed in the doorway, with an air of arrogance, her silk gown pooling around her majestically. Two omega maids stood behind her, kept their eyes downcast, trembling. "Leave us," I growled. The maids fled. Penelope didn’t move. I leaned back in his chair, the leather creaking under his weight. “Say what you came to say and get out." Three years.
