I Became The Hero's Rival Novel

My sister, Lily, was torn to pieces by Rogues. I sobbed, begging my Fated Mate, Alpha Ethan, to find her killers. He never did. A year later, on the anniversary of her death. I went to find Ethan, ready to tell him I was pregnant. Instead, I found him holding another omega, Bella, in his arms. “Don’t worry,” he soothed her. “No one will find out you dropped the pack's mental shield and got Lily killed. Once Harper gives up her title as Luna at the ceremony, you will be my one and only.” My heart shattered. So that was it. He never marked me, never rejected me… he wanted me to step down on my own. He was protecting my sister’s murderer. He wanted to make her Luna. I stormed in, screaming, but Bella suddenly coughed up blood and collapsed. Wolfsbane poisoning, she claimed. "She was poisoned saving me! Give me your heart's blood! It's the only thing that can save her!" Ethan looked at me with more disgust than if I were trash. “I’m pregnant! It’ll kill the baby!” I pleaded. But his Alpha Command crashed down. My body was no longer my own. I could only watch as the thick needle pierced my chest, right over my heart. Golden blood flowed out. A sharp, tearing pain ripped through my stomach… He had killed my baby. My wolf shattered inside me. I closed my eyes, reaching for a forbidden connection in the werewolf world. "Lycan King Rogan. Tomorrow, I need you to help me destroy everything in the Blackwood Pack. Including Alpha Ethan."

Bailey Ashwood has loved Liam Black for as long as she can remember. As the youngest daughter of the pack’s Beta, she grew up admiring the future Alpha from afar, praying every night to the Moon Goddess that he would one day become her mate. Her only comfort was her childhood best friend, Jenny — the one person who knew her deepest secret. But on the morning of her eighteenth birthday, Bailey’s world shatters. Drawn by the sudden pull of the mate bond, she follows the intoxicating scent straight to Liam’s room… only to find him in bed with Jenny. Heartbroken and humiliated, Bailey is publicly rejected by the very man she had loved all her life — a rejection fueled by dark secrets, ambition, and betrayal. Unable to bear the pain, she leaves her pack and disappears into the human world, masking her wolf scent with the help of a mysterious witch. For two years, she builds a new life, determined to forget everything about mates, wolves, and destiny. Until the day a powerful and enigmatic CEO walks into her workplace. Xander Draven is feared across the werewolf world as the ruthless Alpha King. The moment he sees Bailey, he knows she is his fated mate — the one he has waited his entire life for. But Bailey no longer believes in fate. And she has no intention of returning to a world that once broke her. As Xander fights to win her trust, old enemies resurface, hidden truths come to light, and a war that could destroy entire packs begins to rise. This time, Bailey must decide: Will she run from destiny again… Or rise from betrayal to claim the throne meant for her?

My husband, Kieran, is the heir to the Thompson family. In the three years of our arranged marriage, he has never once touched me. I told myself he was just cold and guarded, that I could find a way into his heart, little by little.

That was when I knew. All the passion and love he possessed was already spent on another woman. I pushed him away, burned every photo of us, and went to a high-end club in New York full of handsome male models. Nine months later, I walked into the airport with my newborn baby in my arms. Later, Kieran searched the world for me, his eyes bloodshot. He asked in a trembling voice why I never told him I was pregnant, why I wouldn't let him see our baby. I glanced at him and gave a light, breezy smile. "Who said the baby was yours?"

At the factory, my arm is pulled into a machine. After the surgery, the factory supervisor tells me it's my fault. Because of my arm, the machine has to be shut down for repairs, and every day of downtime will cost them millions. "Someone has to take responsibility for this, Zachary," the supervisor tells me. "It wouldn't make sense to demand millions from you, so just compensate us with 300,000—that's all." Under their threats—and my family's desperate begging—I sign the IOU for 300,000. With one arm gone, I can no longer find a job. All I can do is collect trash to repay the debt. While picking up bottles outside a restaurant one day, I hear the factory supervisor laughing and bragging inside. "Actually, that one-armed guy didn't violate any rules. In fact, the HQ gave three million dollars in compensation. My house and car? All bought with that money," he said. "I mean, who'd ever find out? With that debt hanging over him, he's probably already run off somewhere." Shaken by the news, I stagger onto the street. A truck roars out of nowhere, slamming into me and throwing me 16 feet across the road. When I open my eyes again, I had returned to the day I lost my arm.
