Ava gave up everything for love—her wealth, her family, and even her identity—just to be with Richard, the man she thought would cherish her. But after years of neglect, betrayal, and heartbreak, she finds herself alone, abandoned, and on the brink of despair. On the night she goes into labor, Richard ignores her cries for help, and tragedy strikes. Waking up to the devastating loss of her children, Ava realizes it’s time to reclaim her life. She returns to her family, agreeing to marry the man her father had chosen for her. But she never expected that this man was more than human—he was a powerful werewolf, leader of a secretive and deadly cult… and her destined mate. Now, caught between vengeance and a fate she never imagined, Ava must navigate a world of supernatural power, dark secrets, and a love stronger than she ever thought possible. But will her past let her go, or will Richard’s sins come back to haunt her?
View MoreChapter Six…Ava’s POV…A month passed quickly, yet every single day had felt like a test. A test of patience, of strength, of the will to start again.This morning, I stood in front of the towering glass building that housed Blackmist Company—my family’s company. The empire my father had built from the ground up. It should’ve felt empowering, stepping into what would soon be mine. But instead, my heartbeat was calm and cold, my face expressionless.No one in this building knew who I was.And that was exactly how my father wanted it. That's how he wanted it to be until the big day comes.Before handing over the reins to me, he insisted I start at the bottom, just like any ordinary employee. “To understand the business, you must feel what it’s like to build it,” he’d said. And I agreed. Because I wasn’t here to wave my name around. I was here to take what was mine and prove I didn’t need a title to do it.I adjusted the strap of my black bag and walked into the lobby. The chatter, the
Chapter FiveKieran’s POVI had waited years for her.I never wanted to force her into this—I wanted her to come to me willingly. But after so long, after searching endlessly for my mate, she was finally within reach.And now, here she was, standing so close that I could hear the soft hitch in her breath.I watched as she pulled away from me, straightening her dress, her eyes flickering with uncertainty. "Sorry," she muttered, avoiding my gaze.I didn’t move. I just stood there, staring at her, memorizing every detail. Her scent, her presence—it was unlike anything I had ever known. My wolf stirred within me, restless, recognizing her as ours. She was perfect just like I have pictured her.Then, after a long silence, she finally spoke."Do you really want to marry me?" Her voice was steady, but there was something else hidden beneath it. "I just lost my children, you know. I was married before. And I don't think you would want to be with someone like me."I already knew.I had known e
Chapter FourAva’s POVI watched as the man stepped out of the sleek black car, his movements slow and deliberate. His presence alone demanded attention. Behind him, two bodyguards stood at full alert, their sharp gazes scanning the surroundings.My breath hitched.He was tall, his posture exuding power and confidence. He wore a perfectly tailored black suit, the crisp fabric emphasizing his broad shoulders. A pair of dark-tinted glasses hid his eyes, but even without seeing them, I could feel the weight of his gaze.I swallowed hard as my father stepped forward, his expression unreadable. Then, to my utter shock, he did something I had never seen him do before.He bowed his head slightly as he extended his hand toward the man.I froze.My father never bowed to anyone. Never.I had seen him interact with some of the most powerful men in the country, men of wealth and status, and he always carried himself with unwavering authority. Yet now, in front of this man, there was a shift—a res
Chapter ThreeAva’s POVI stared at the woman standing in front of me, my grip on my suitcase tightening. I had every intention of walking past her, of leaving without a single word, but then she spoke."How rude," she said with a smirk. "Ignoring a visitor like this? That’s no way to welcome a guest."For a moment My breath caught in my throat.That voice.It was the same voice I had heard over the phone—the woman Richard had been with the night I lost everything. The woman he had abandoned me with.Slowly, I turned to face her, my expression carefully neutral. My eyes flickered from her to Richard, who stood just behind her, watching us with an uneasy expression.But I didn’t bring it up.I forced a smile. "Welcome," I said simply.The woman’s smirk widened as she took a few steps forward. Her gaze was sharp, assessing me, as if waiting for a reaction.Richard cleared his throat and moved to stand beside her. "Ava," he said, gesturing toward the woman, "this is Miss Lydia. She’s the
Chapter TwoAva’s POVThe house was eerily quiet, except for the soft rustling of my hands as I packed away the last remnants of my past.I stood in Lily’s bedroom, my fingers tracing over the framed picture of my little girl. Her bright smile was frozen in time, her eyes full of the happiness she had always carried. My chest ached, but I couldn’t cry anymore—there were no tears left. No more pain to wipe on.Slowly, I removed the picture from the wall, placing it gently inside the bag I had set aside. The bag was meant for burning. I didn't want to see anymore of it that will bring pain towards me.Every memory, every trace of the life I had built with Richard—I wanted it gone.I took a deep breath and walked to my room, grabbing my suitcase. My hands shook as I folded my clothes and placed them inside. This was it. I was leaving. I am no longer staying with a man who sees me as nothing.No more pain. No more suffering. No more Richard.With a final deep breath, I pulled out my phone
Chapter OneAva’s POVPain tore through my body, sharp and relentless. I clutched my belly, beads of sweat rolling down my forehead as another contraction hit. My breaths came in ragged gasps, my entire body trembling.I reached toward the nightstand, where my phone lay just out of reach. My fingers stretched desperately, but the pain was too much for me to bear."Mommy?"A small, frightened voice called out, and I turned my head to see my daughter, Lily, standing in the doorway. Her big brown eyes were wide with worry as she rushed toward me."Baby… get the phone," I managed to gasp.Lily wasted no time. She grabbed the phone and placed it in my unsteady hands. My fingers trembled as I unlocked the screen and dialed the one person who should have been here—Richard my husband.The phone rang a few times before he answered."What?" His tone was cold, impatient.A sharp stab of pain shot through my body, but I forced myself to speak. "Richard… I’m in labor. Please come home. Please come
