Substitute

Have you ever been in a situation where you made a decision not for yourself but for your loved ones? Like you were obliged to do something not because you were forced but because of goodwill. And when you start to embrace what was happening, suddenly you have to leave because, in the first place, it was not supposed to be you in that position. Will you just leave or will you fight for your rights? But the question is, do you have the right to fight?

There are two dogs who will forever revolve around Leonardo Zeller. The first one is his pet dog. The second one is me, his devoted lapdog. But I've successfully risen to the ranks as his fiancee. On the day before our wedding, Leonardo gets into an accident from car racing for the sake of his first love, Renee White. I rush over to the hospital immediately, but I don't see the scar that's supposed to adorn his chest. My complexion goes insanely pale out of panic. "Where did the scar from his heart surgery go?" "Hey! Don't you dare jinx my son! Since when did he go through such a cursed surgery?" Suddenly, I realize that I've gotten the wrong person this whole time for three years. On the day Leonardo gets discharged, he tells me that he regrets proposing to me and that he wants to call off the wedding just to be with Renee. Everyone wants to see me break down and humiliate myself by showing my hysterical side. But I merely reply, "Okay." What they don't know is that I've never loved Leonardo before. After all, the man I love is already dead a few years ago.

On my wedding night, I joyfully lift the veil, only to discover that my bride has been replaced with the dim-witted daughter of my girlfriend's helper. The laughter surrounding me grows louder. My girlfriend's male best friend gloatingly says, "According to tradition, you must spend a night with her, Mr. Leeds! "I'll take one for the team and keep Carol company tonight instead." Just then, my girlfriend strolls in leisurely. "It's just a joke. Don't be a sore loser. Besides, she's a complete ignoramus. Spending the night with her won't hurt you." Seeing her sarcastic expression, I laugh. "Now that I've lifted the veil, how can one night be enough? Since I did it, I'll take responsibility for life."

In the fifth year of my mating to Alpha Tom, his childhood sweetheart, Becky Bell, was splashed across every tabloid in the territory. Pregnant. Unmated. And accused of shattering another couple’s bond. The rumors hit like a rogue’s ambush. But it was his reaction that truly gutted me. “Becky’s father once saved me, she has no pack, no family left. Everything she’s accomplished… she clawed her way to it. Alone.” My fingers clenched tighter around the pregnancy test tucked away in my purse. “And the only way to protect her now,” he continued, not even looking me in the eye, “is for me to marry her. To claim the pup as mine.” “And what about me?” I asked, barely more than a whisper. My voice cracked. The Sunfire Pack and the Golden Fang Pack—my pack—had been allies for over a century. “How do I explain this sudScott rejection to my parents? To my pack? To the elders? They know we're mate bond.” Alpha Tom inhaled sharply. “Just tell them it was always a business arrangement. That there was no real love between us.” My wolf bared her teeth at that. He had the audacity to look away. “Once the media frenzy dies down, I’ll come for you. I’ll bring you back to Sunfire Pack and give you the grand wedding you deserve.” I stared at him. This Alpha—was seriously telling me he was going to marry another she-wolf, claim her pup, let me get torn apart by pack gossip and speculation, and then what? he's offering me his marriage like it’s some kind of charity? My fingers twitched, aching to throw the pregnancy test at him. But I didn’t. I laughed. For three years, I had been the one he discarded—over and over. And now, even my marriage was to be sacrificed for her sake. It hit me then, sharp and cold: It's time for me to leave him

“Daddy… something is only forbidden when you make it so.” It was never supposed to be real. When Cierra Monroe steps into her mother’s veil, it’s meant to be a temporary lie...a desperate cover-up while her mother is trapped in a courtroom miles away. Just a signature. Just a few hours. Just a favor. But vows spoken in a church don’t disappear when the truth returns. By the time her mother comes back...victorious, free, ready to claim her husband, the damage is already done. Dominic Vance remembers the girl who wore the veil. The touch that lingered too long. The look that crossed a line that should never have been seen. And Cierra? She can’t forget him either. As secrets fester, desire ignites. Love fractures. Violence erupts. A night soaked in blood leaves bodies on the floor, police closing in, and every choice more dangerous than the last. And then there are the men. Her loyal boyfriend. The one-night mistake she never meant to survive. Her stepdad...the forbidden temptation she can’t deny. In a world ruled by power, lust, and unrelenting men, every glance is a battlefield. Every kiss is a war. And Cierra is learning one devastating truth: Not all that glitters is gold… sometimes it's the devil and that devil is her stepdad.
