Introduction
"I don't know why the bond is still there. I accepted his rejection, I don't want him, I want you. Whatever yearnings you saw between us, is not by choice. You are my mate. I choose you."
"Then why is the bind still present?" he snaps as he turns from me.
"I don't know! And frankly, I don't care! I haven't cared or thought about Dominic in nearly a decade. How can I prove that you are the one I love?" I ask as I take hold of his hands, hoping that he sees my sincerity.
"Have the ceremony with me."
"What?!"
"The mating ceremony, where we bind ourselves to each other. Let's do it. That is the only way I can relax. Be mine. Truly, mine."
Rowan Blaze, abused and maltreated in her former pack and after being rejected and left to die by her Alpha finds a second chance as a rogue. Now known as the Winter Wolf, and leader of the largest rogue coalition, with a renowned dislike for packs, fate offers her another chance at love in the form of Alpha Viktor Thorn, a renowned man known for his wicked intelligence and stubborn persona. How do these two stubborn individuals react to this opportunity? Are they capable of letting their walls down and giving life one more chance? And what of Dominic Valor? Is he capable of letting go of his rejected mate or would he do anything to right the wrong he made years ago?
Chapter 1
LOUISA.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Dominic snarls as I stand at the entrance, frozen in terrified shock.
This is a nightmare.
I knew that whoever my mate would be wouldn't be happy about it but I didn't think it would be Dominic, the Alpha.
"How in the goddess's name does this make sense?!" he continues. "You can't even shift into your wolf? How are you my mate?!"
"I am so- sorry," I stuttered, head bowed to avoid his gaze. "I didn't- I am-"
"Enough! Goddess, you are pathetic. What was the goddess thinking? Pairing me up with you?" he mutters as he runs his hands through his hair.
I stay silent, unable to answer.
Honestly, I am wondering the same too. Why would I be paired with Dominic? The man hates me with a passion.
"Why are you still here?" he snaps at me.
"I am sorry!" I exclaim as I quickly look up, only to see the look of pure unadulterated loathing on his face. "You… you called for me… I don't-"
"Ugh," he groans as he walks towards me pushing me out of the way and heading out the door. "Weak and disgusting."
I stare at his back until he vanishes before I let out a sigh of breath.
"What now?" I mutter to myself.
Dominic Valor, Alpha of the Obsidian pack has always hated my guts. Ever since I came to live with his family.
My parents had died in battle, defending the pack from an enemy attack and the previous Alpha had taken me in as a means to honour them.
Dominic never liked that.
He didn't see the reason for doing that as it was every wolf's duty to defend the pack and if they died doing so, even more honourable.
The fact that I was the weakest person in the pack and who still didn't have a wolf didn't help matters.
He resents me.
Resented the fact that I was weak and yet still had a good life.
Something he made sure to destroy once his father passed away.
From living a sheltered but comfortable life to one filled with misery and insults.
From a protected orphan to an overworked slave.
Everyone's dumping ground.
A waste of space.
And now…
Now, I am mated to him?
Where is the logic in that?
What am I going to do now?
"He is going to kill me."
I stand there, still at the entrance of his office, unsure of what to do.
If he comes back and finds that I left without his orders, there will be hell to pay.
If he comes back and finds me here, still being pathetic and useless when there is a whole lot of work to do in the pack, there will still be hell to pay.
There is no good choice here.
I stand there for a few minutes, debating and running through different scenarios in my head before deciding to leave.
It's not like my staying would make any difference.
He will still find a way to make himself miserable.
And besides, finishing the rest of the chores will keep my mind off the devastating knowledge that Alpha Dominic is my mate.
And also, to prepare myself.
After all, he is going to reject me.
Right?
†
It is dark when I hear the front door opening.
Past two and I am still awake, waiting for Dominic to arrive.
I can't go to bed until he does.
Alpha's orders.
I hurry to the front door, fear in my veins but with no little choice, and come to a sudden halt.
He is drunk.
Alpha Dominic is drunk.
I have never, in all the years I have lived with him, ever seen him get drunk.
At the back of my mind, alarm bells go off, telling me to turn around, leave and damn whatever the consequences will be.
But I don't.
"Al- Alpha?" I call out quietly, standing a little distance from him. "Are you okay?"
I watch as he searches through the dark for my voice, head turning almost sluggishly before he sees me.
"Ah… if it isn't my mate. My weak, pathetic, wolfless mate."
He stalks toward me, an odd glint in his eyes that makes me take several steps back before turning to flee.
I don't get very far.
His hand snakes around my wrist drawing me to him before slamming against a wall. He leans his body onto mine, sweaty and stinking of alcohol.
"Where are you going, mate?" he slurs at me. "Aren't you happy to see me?"
The alarm bells grow louder in my head, so loud I can barely hear my own breath.
"Alpha? Alpha, please… you are hurting me," I plead, wincing as his hands tighten on my wrist.
"I am hurting you? I. Am. Hurting. YOU?!" he roars into my face. "What about me? Do you know how hurt and disappointed I am right now? Typical of a spoiled brat like you, only thinking about yourself."
"No… please," I beg as I fight back the tears caused by his tight grip on my hands.
My tears would only enrage him more.
And that is something that can't happen.
Not now.
"You must be elated now, aren't you?" he continues into my ear, his weight suffocating me. "You have the Alpha as your mate. You must think your life is settled right?"
"No… Dominic-"
THWACK!!
It takes me a few seconds to realise what has just happened.
My face is stinging with the slap he had landed on me.
"Dominic?" he spits. "How bold you have gotten. Very well, since you are so excited to be my mate, let's go finalise it," he says before taking me by the arm and pulling me towards his room.
No.
"No," I beg, trying to get out of his hands. The tears fall freely now, terror about what is about to happen filling my already strung out veins. "Please, I am sorry."
"Oh, I don't know about that, but I promise you, before the sun comes up, you will be," he says before throwing me onto his bed.

I Loved You in Silence, You Betrayed Me in French
At my birthday party, my husband whispered to his mistress in French that he missed her. His voice was low, but I heard it all—the black lingerie, the bit about how pregnancy makes you more sensitive. His French clients around us were laughing. He turned and put his arm around me, claiming he was just helping his clients come up with sweet nothings.
He doesn't know I understand every single word. Just like he doesn't know that inside my body, I'm carrying his other surprise. And his mistress—she's pregnant too. Two wombs, one secret.
Confrontation would be too cheap. Tears are worthless. I quietly started cataloging the hidden networks my father left behind, activating the Swiss accounts.
In seven days, Zoey Smith will cease to exist. And what will my husband's reaction be?
When I Disappeared, He Regretted It
The moment the screen lit up, my entire world came crashing down.
The woman on the bed was Calista - that girl who grew up with us since we were kids. And that hand caressing her skin was wearing the wedding ring I had personally put on Matteo's finger.
"I've missed you so much..."
"You drive me crazy, baby..."
Those sweet words I knew so well completely destroyed me.
Everyone said we were the perfect couple, but who knew this marriage was built on nothing but lies?
Since he's so good at acting, I guess it's time I gave him a show of my own. I'm going to make sure everyone sees what this "perfect husband" really is...
The Family Sacrifice
I simply said one word: "Okay."
My parents and Gilbert were stunned. They rushed to have me sign the voluntary donation form, afraid I’d change my mind.
Some days later, they sent me to the operating room.
Dad said, "Yvonne will finally be saved. We're so proud of you."
Mom said, "After the surgery, we'll make it up to you."
Gilbert looked tenderly at Yvonne and said, "When you're better, where should we travel?"
What they didn't know was that the day I agreed, I'd just received my diagnosis, stage four cancer. Three months to live.
As I lay on the cold operating table, as the anesthesia began to take effect, I only wanted to know one thing:
If I die on this operating table, will they regret it?
He Never Loved Me, Until I Left
I put away the divorce agreement with a wry smile.
When he and my son completely disappeared, he finally panicked.
Three months later .
He knelt down on the streets of Chicago in despair, begging me to remarry him.
My six-year-old son looked coldly at his biological father and said, "Get lost, you bad uncle! You don't deserve to be my dad!"
He Thought I'd Never Leave
When he said he was being bullied, I believed him. When he kissed me on that rooftop, I thought he felt the same. When he asked me to transfer schools with him, I said yes without hesitation.
Then I heard him bragging to his friends: "She'd save her first time for me. Hell, she'd still be thinking of me on her wedding night."
The bullying was staged. The kiss meant nothing. He just wanted me gone—so his new girl could feel more comfortable.
He thought I'd beg. He thought I'd cry. He thought I'd never actually leave.
I left the country.
And ran straight into his stepbrother.
I Died While They Threw Her a Party
Their real daughter came home. She'd only been back two years. That's all it took to erase twenty-four.
When kidnappers grabbed us, I used my body as a shield. They beat me until something inside me ruptured. I was dying from internal bleeding, but no one could tell.
My parents wouldn't even look at me. "This is your fault! None of this would've happened if it weren't for you!"
"Get downstairs and apologize to your sister. If you can't, pack your things and get out."
They threw her a party at a downtown hotel while I died alone in my room.
I thought they'd be relieved. Maybe even glad. I thought they'd just move on like I never existed.
But when they finally learned the truth, they fell apart.
Bury Me in His Regret
The kidnapper pressed the gun to my temple and asked, "Choose your wife or your sister-in-law?"
Zachary didn't hesitate. "Let Valerie go," he said.
He actually chose to save his sister-in-law! In that moment, even the baby in my belly seemed to stop kicking.
Later, they locked me in the basement. Drugs to delay labor were pumped into my veins over and over. Zachary wanted to save the "firstborn son" status for his sister-in-law's child.
When warm blood finally soaked through my skirt, I dialed the number I knew by heart with shaking hands.
"Zachary," I whispered into the phone, "our child... can't wait any longer."
The Kidney That Killed Me
A few months ago, my sister was hospitalized with kidney failure. The doctor said she needed a transplant. My family's first thought was me—the backup daughter they'd kept around all these years.
When my husband Allen took my hand with tears in his eyes and said, "Only you can save her," I agreed without hesitation.
When the doctor explained the surgical risks and potential complications, I smiled and nodded my understanding.
My parents said I'd finally learned what sisterly love meant.
Even Allen, who'd always been cold to me, held my hand gently and said, "The surgery's safe. You're so healthy, nothing will go wrong. When you recover, I'll take you to Hawaii."
But they don't know that no matter how the surgery goes, I won't be around to celebrate.
Because I just got my own test results—I have terminal brain cancer. I'm going to die anyway.
After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
