The William Group of Companies was nothing like I imagined. The building rose into the sky like a fortress of glass and steel, cold and intimidating. As the car slowed in front of the entrance, my heart pounded painfully against my ribs. This wasn’t fear—it was awareness. My wolf was restless, alert, reacting to the powerful Alpha presence that filled the place. William. I stepped out of the car, my fingers tightening around my bag. Employees moved briskly past me, their faces filled with determination and quiet anxiety. This place breathed power, ambition, and dominance, everything my Alpha husband embodied. Inside, whispers followed me. “That’s her…” “The Alpha’s wife…” “She doesn’t look like much.” “Why is she here?” I kept my head high, even as their words cut deep. I had survived worse. Years of cruelty from my stepmother and stepsister had taught me how to endure pain without breaking. At the reception desk, the secretary froze when she saw me. “Mrs… Mrs. Miller?” she st

Morning arrived quietly, slipping into the room on soft feet. Sunlight filtered through the curtains, pale and hesitant, as if afraid to disturb the fragile calm. I opened my eyes and lay still for a moment, staring at the ceiling above me. My wedding night. Again. Even after waking up safely in my bed, my heart still raced when fragments of my previous life crept into my thoughts, Selena’s cold eyes, the staircase, the pain, the darkness. I pressed my palm against my chest, grounding myself. I was alive. And this time, I would live differently. I got dressed neatly, choosing a simple but elegant outfit professional, calm, controlled. The woman in the mirror no longer looked like someone desperate for affection. She looked like someone who had survived death. By the time I arrived at William Group of Companies, it was already eight past eight. Morning at the office was as busy as ever employees walking briskly, heels clicking, voices murmuring about meetings and deadlines. Not

The morning air at William Group was crisp, sharp, and unforgiving just like the people inside. I arrived early, dressed in calm confidence, my steps steady as I entered the towering building. Working here was no longer just about duty. It was about survival. About reclaiming what had once been taken from me my voice, my dignity, my truth. I had barely settled at my desk when whispers began. Soft at first. Then louder. “She’s bold for someone who just married into power.” “I heard she left work early yesterday… with another man.” “Isn’t Selena the one William trusts?” I ignored them. I should have known better. By mid-morning, my assistant approached me nervously. “Luna… Mr. Miller wants to see you. Now.” The way she avoided my eyes told me everything. I walked toward William’s office, my heart steady but alert. My wolf stirred uneasily. The door was already open. Selena was there. She stood beside William’s desk, her eyes red, tears clinging delicately to her lashes. She

I showered, dressed, and went to work like nothing had happened. Like my world hadn’t quietly tilted overnight.The office buzzed with its usual rhythm phones ringing, keyboards clicking, footsteps echoing down the hall. I had barely settled at my desk when the atmosphere shifted.Selena arrived.She walked in like she owned the place, heels sharp against the floor, confidence dripping from every step. But when her eyes met mine, something flickered.Not triumph.Unease.She approached slowly, placing her bag down with deliberate care. “Good morning, Annie,” she said sweetly. Too sweet. “I hope you had a… pleasant birthday.”I looked up calmly. “I did.”Her smile tightened. “I saw your Instagram story.”“I’m sure you did.”Silence stretched between us, heavy and charged.“So,” she continued lightly, “Damian’s back in the picture?”I stood, meeting her gaze without flinching. “My personal life isn’t your concern.”She laughed, but there was no humor in it. “Everything involving William

The morning light felt too bright, almost cruel. I woke slowly, the warmth of the bed still clinging to me. My body ached in all the places William had touched, and yet… my mind refused to fully process it. I was still trembling, still in shock. I blinked, taking in the scene: the sheets tangled around me, the faint scent of him lingering in the air. My fingers traced the edge of the mattress, trying to ground myself. I couldn’t believe it. I had let William… William, my husband, my Alpha crossed a line I never thought I would. I was still a virgin before last night, and now… now it has all changed. Panic rose. I bolted upright and grabbed a robe, wrapping it tightly around myself. I needed distance. Clarity. Space. The shower became my refuge, the hot water washing away more than just sleep. It helped me pretend I could go on as if nothing had happened. By the time I left the mansion for the office, my composure had returned. My hair was neat, my makeup minimal but professional,
