He stood in front of two hundred witnesses and called me weak. Said my hands shook too much to hold a blade. Said I wasn’t fit to stand beside him. He was right about one thing — I was never fit to stand beside the man he was that night. I’m something else now. Two years since Roan rejected me in front of his entire pack, I’ve built something he can’t touch — a pack of my own, a name that doesn’t flinch when his does, and a power born from the very bond he tore out of my chest like it cost him nothing. Turns out it cost him everything. Now he’s dying, slowly, from the inside out, and he doesn’t even know it’s my door he’s begging at. He thinks he’s asking a stranger for help. He has no idea the Alpha who holds his survival in her hands is the woman he humiliated to save his own pride. And there’s a truth buried in that rejection he still doesn’t know — one that changes everything about why he really let me go. He wants me back. He needs me to live. I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to save him, ruin him, or do both, slowly, the way he taught me pain could be delivered — in front of everyone who ever doubted me. This time, I hold the bond. This time, I choose.

I once believed Adrian DeLuca was the most dependable man in a dangerous world. We had been engaged for years. Before family dinners, major investments, or decisions that could affect the balance between powerful families, I usually asked for his opinion. I believed that was what two people building a life together were supposed to do. I believed he would always stand beside me. Eventually, Adrian grew tired of being needed. He wanted me to trust my own judgment, stop asking about his schedule, and stop bringing every concern to him. At the same time, he gave his patience and protection to Mia Caruso, a newly graduated intern at the family hospital. She wore his coat, used things that belonged to me, answered his phone from a hotel room, then smiled and reminded me that Adrian only saw her as someone he needed to protect. So I became exactly as independent as he wanted. I stopped reporting my plans. I stopped waiting for him to come home. I stopped needing his protection. That was when Adrian finally became afraid.

I was a streamer famous for doing random, unhinged stuff online. And now the richest woman in Bayford wanted me to seduce her son. "Make my son fall for you. I'll give you ten properties. Houses, apartments, condos." For a second, even I thought, 'Okay, this is insane.' Marianne Jensen looked at me like I was her last hope. "Please. I'm out of options. Ever since he was little, I kept pretty girls around him. When he got older, I introduced him to every type of girl possible. But he's thirty now and has never dated anyone." Then she lowered her voice. "I think something's wrong with him. Like those billionaire guys in drama shorts. Maybe he only likes weird girls from the bad side of town." I just stared at her. Wow. Appreciate that. 'Did I just meet a crazy person?' I was about to say no when she shoved ten property deeds and a photo across the table. "Go seduce my son. If you pull it off, the ten properties are yours." I looked at the deeds, then the photo, and instantly decided to help this desperate but incredible mother. Forget something being wrong with him. Even if he liked men, I'd still make him fall for me. Thanks to Marianne pulling strings behind the scenes, I became the personal assistant to Jace Jensen, Bayford's golden boy. And the first thing he said when he saw me was, "How much did my mom pay you? I'll double it. Now get out." Two months later, the job was over, but Jace stood there with red eyes, crying. "How could you use me and throw me away? I don't care. You're taking responsibility for this."
