ancestral wealth inheritance system

After years of living abroad without children, I decided to return home to handle my inheritance matters. However, before I could step into my house, I was stopped by a group of people at the entrance. The woman leading the group pointed at me and started screaming. "I can't believe someone as young as you is seducing a man old enough to be your father! How disgusting can you be?" I watched her, noticing how much she resembled my older brother, and I was shaking with rage. They pulled out my fingernails, broke my ribs, and slashed my face, dragging me around the neighborhood as I begged for mercy. Yet, they remained indifferent to my pleas. Just as I was on the verge of losing hope, my brother, Edward Grange rushed over.  Through a mouthful of blood, I managed to choke out, "Ed, I’d rather die than let her inherit my inheritance…”

In a world where loyalty and lineage dictate worth, Luna Poppy Hopkins faces an unimaginable betrayal. After losing her home, her title, and the love of her mate for failing to produce a male heir, she escapes into the shadows, determined to protect her unborn daughter. Five years of pain and humiliation haunt her, especially as her ex-mate, Alpha Seamus, keeps their bond alive through torment. Driven by a desperate thirst for revenge and the encouragement of her cunning ex-Gamma, Poppy steps into the fold of Luna's Law—a powerful directive that grants her the chance to confront Seamus and challenge him before the council for his transgressions. But the law demands more than mere justice; it calls for a duel, a fierce battle where Poppy must reclaim her title, respect, and inheritance rights against the very man who shattered her world. To tip the scales in her favor, Poppy trains rigorously under the watchful gaze of the alluring and enigmatic Lycan Prince Logan. As their bond deepens, so do the complexities of desire and loyalty, intertwining their fates in ways she never expected. Amidst a tumultuous landscape of action, deception, and emotions, Poppy discovers her true strength. As she rises from the ashes of her past, with fierce determination and a formidable ally by her side, she prepares to reclaim not only her rightful place but also her freedom. Can she conquer her past and enforce Luna's Law, or will the chains of betrayal bind her forever?

Her name was Cathedra. Leave her last name blank, if you will. Where normal people would read, "And they lived happily ever after," at the end of every fairy tale story, she could see something else. Three different things. Three words: Lies, lies, lies. A picture that moves. And a plea: Please tell them the truth. All her life she dedicated herself to becoming a writer and telling the world what was being shown in that moving picture. To expose the lies in the fairy tales everyone in the world has come to know. No one believed her. No one ever did. She was branded as a liar, a freak with too much imagination, and an orphan who only told tall tales to get attention. She was shunned away by society. Loveless. Friendless. As she wrote "The End" to her novels that contained all she knew about the truth inside the fairy tale novels she wrote, she also decided to end her pathetic life and be free from all the burdens she had to bear alone. Instead of dying, she found herself blessed with a second life inside the fairy tale novels she wrote, and living the life she wished she had with the characters she considered as the only friends she had in the world she left behind. Cathedra was happy until she realized that an ominous presence lurks within her stories. One that wanted to kill her to silence the only one who knew the truth.

"I'll build you thousands of empires and mansions, adore you with precious pieces of jewelry, you will be the only known queen of this ruthless man," Azrael Thorn Execroz whispered words that marked Andromeda's heart. His minty breath lingers in her senses, particularly in her nose. She wanted to be consumed by the fire of his heart, deep until they can no longer grasp for air. His shoulder shuddered in the darkness, while his body remains to cage the woman who captivated his iron heart. "Azrael..." she said softly with her heart beating erratically. "I...I don't desire your wealth nor your heart," she replied, slightly shivering. She was lying to the young man but mostly to herself. "Then what do you want?" he replied with his eyes beginning to shine as the tears warn to fall. He is breaking. "Let me leave," Andromeda spoke, each word like an arrow piercing through his heart. Sliding her right arm to his chest, she tiptoed momentarily to whisper what ended them. "Free me." And with that, the mighty and dignified Azrael Execroz felt his world crumble into small shards of glass. She tamed him. She was his escape. His solace. And now, she's gone.
