The Vanished Luna: Returning to Reject the Alpha

"Not guilty." With those two words, my husband, the Alpha, acquitted his mistress of poisoning my mother. I had the toxicology reports. I had the receipts. But Garrison didn't care. He looked me in the eye, his hand resting possessively on Keyla's back, and told me to stop making a scene. That was just the beginning of my hell. He moved Keyla into our master suite and forced me into the servant's quarters. "Since you can't give me strong pups," he sneered, "you can serve those who do." I became the maid in my own home, washing Keyla's silk lingerie while she wore my Luna robes. When I tried to fight back, he used the Alpha Command to silence me and locked me in a room filled with silver dust that burned my skin like acid. He even drugged me and offered me to a rival Alpha just to secure a timber deal. He thought he had broken me. He thought I was just a weak Omega who would eventually fade away. But he forgot that my mother taught me everything about poisons. On the night of the yacht party, I didn't just jump into the dark ocean to escape. I jumped to be reborn. I flushed my wedding ring, severed the bond, and let the icy water swallow Janette the victim. Garrison thought I was dead. He didn't know that the ocean wouldn't kill me. It would awaken my true bloodline. And when I came back, I wasn't his wife anymore. I was a White Wolf, and I was going to burn his pack to the ground.

Janette POV:

The Ritz-Carlton ballroom dripped with gold.

I stood in the shadows in my fraying blue dress. Garrison and Keyla were center stage.

"Item 45. The 'Tears of the Moon' Sapphire Necklace," the auctioneer announced.

"Oh, Garrison! It matches my eyes!" Keyla squealed.

"Seventy thousand!" Sterling shouted. An obese Alpha from a rival pack, known for collecting young Omegas.

Garrison stiffened. "Eighty."

"One hundred," Sterling countered, grinning gold teeth. He waddled over.

"I'll drop the bid, Garrison," Sterling whispered, loud enough for my ears. "And I'll sign that timber deal. But I want her."

He pointed a sausage finger at me.

"Just for tonight. My heat cycle is starting."

My blood ran cold.

Garrison looked at me, then at Keyla, who was pouting over the necklace.

"I can't sell my wife, Sterling," Garrison muttered, though his voice lacked conviction. He looked glassy-eyed. Keyla had been feeding him drinks all night.

"It's just dinner, babe," Keyla whispered in Garrison's ear. "Sterling just wants company. Don't blow the deal."

Garrison blinked, swaying slightly. The drugs Keyla was using to keep him compliant were working.

"Just... just dinner," Garrison slurred. "Bring her back in the morning."

Sterling grinned. "Deal."

The gavel slammed.

I turned to run, but Garrison caught my arm.

"It's for the pack, Janette," he said, his eyes unfocused. "Do your duty."

A waiter appeared. Garrison grabbed a glass and forced it to my lips.

"Drink." The Command hit me.

I swallowed. Fire raced through my veins. Lust Dust.

My knees buckled. Sterling grabbed me.

"Don't worry," Garrison whispered as they dragged me to the elevator. "It'll be over soon."

As the doors closed, watching my husband turn back to his mistress, the last thread of love snapped.

I didn't just want to leave. I wanted him to bleed.

Flashbulbs popped. Blinding white light.

I woke up on a velvet chaise, naked.

"Chin up, sweetheart. Look devastated," Leo, the pack's fixer, said.

I scrambled for a pillow. "Where is Sterling?"

"Gone," Leo said, checking his camera. "He got his timber deal. He didn't touch you. Garrison just needed the leverage."

I froze.

"Leverage?"

"Proof of infidelity," Leo said. "Compromising photos. If you try to go to the Council about the poisoning, these leak. 'Disgraced Luna Seduces Rival Alpha for Cash.'"

Garrison hadn't sold my body. He'd sold my dignity for insurance.

"Get dressed," Leo tossed my dress on the floor.

I stumbled out into the humid night. Thunder rumbled.

Across the street, at the park, Keyla's birthday party was in full swing.

I watched from the shadows. Garrison was on stage, putting the sapphire necklace around Keyla's neck.

"To the woman who brings light to the Silver Moon Pack," he boomed.

They kissed. Passionate. Deep.

I vomited into the gutter.

My phone buzzed. Don't wait up, Garrison's voice echoed in the Mind-Link.

I imagined a pair of shears.

Block.

I slammed a mental wall down. The static silenced.

The rain started. Heavy and cleansing.

I started walking. I wasn't Janette the victim anymore. I was a ghost. And ghosts don't feel pain.

Jacqueline Blackburn, a desperate Ivy League tutor, walked into the sleazy Veridian VIP club just to save her job. But her billionaire client, the ruthless Christian Montgomery, mistook her for a cheap escort, blowing cigar smoke in her face and treating her like trash. When she furiously turned to leave, a drunk former client attacked her in the hallway, tearing her white dress open and pinning her by the throat. She fought back, stabbing the man's hand with a pen, only for Christian to emerge from the shadows and brutally crush the attacker's bleeding hand under his heel. Instead of letting her go, Christian draped his heavy suit jacket over her exposed skin, trapped her in his dark suite, and forced her to sign a suffocating contract. "You have exactly ninety days, or I will personally ensure you cease to exist in my city." She thought she could just keep her head down, teach his nephew, and survive. But she didn't understand why this terrifying underground tyrant was suddenly so fixated on her.

Escaping The Ruthless Don's Golden Cage

I stood at the gala, draped in diamonds worth millions, playing the role of the perfect Mafia wife. But the illusion shattered when his mistress walked in wearing a necklace identical to mine—a cattle brand dipped in gold. When I confronted them, Liam didn't defend me. He shoved me aside to protect her. I hit the floor, and as my blood soaked into the white stage, I realized he had killed our unborn child. But the nightmare didn't end there. I woke up to find that Liam had ordered me sedated to "manage my hysteria." The complications from his control and the trauma had forced an emergency hysterectomy. He hadn't just killed his heir; he had stolen my future. Yet, he still tried to lock me in his estate, convinced he could force me to love him again if he just kept me hidden long enough. He thought I was broken. He thought I was his property. He was wrong. With the help of a doctor who had loved me from the shadows for years, I faked my death and vanished. Six months later, the great Don found me in a small-town bookstore, falling to his knees to beg for a second chance. I looked at the man who destroyed me and handed him a single dollar bill. "Loyalty is the only currency, Liam," I said, quoting his own vow back to him. "And you are bankrupt."
