For a whole year, I drained my own blood and life force to heal Alpha Grayson, my fated mate. But the moment he finally woke up from his deathbed, he looked at me with pure disgust. "I will never accept a conniving Omega like you as my Luna," he growled, violently throwing me to the floor. He didn't know I was the one who had kept him alive. His mother, who knew the truth, instantly turned on me and called me a curse. She let the guards drag my weakened body to the main hall. In front of the entire pack, Grayson tossed a silver rejection coin at my feet, stripping me of my dignity while the elders and his sister mocked me. To make matters worse, I soon discovered my own stepfather had sold me to them. He used me as a disposable blood bag, stealing my healing research to build his own fame while I suffered. They all thought I would just cry, pick up the coin, and accept my tragic fate as a worthless, abandoned she-wolf. Instead, I picked up the heavy silver coin and hurled it right back at Grayson's face. It struck his cheekbone with a sharp crack, drawing his blood and triggering a brutal reverse rejection that sent him collapsing to the floor in agony. "I, Alethea Nolan, reject you," I declared coldly to the horrified crowd. Ignoring his mother's desperate pleas to save him again, I turned my back on the pack and walked out into the night to collect my debts.

The Omega Who Rejected Her Alpha Chapter 1
Alethea POV:
The silver knife felt cold against my skin.
I stood beside the massive oak bed, the blade's edge pressed to the pale, thin skin of my wrist. A sharp, stinging pain followed as I drew it across, and a line of dark red blood welled up instantly.
My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic bird trapped in a cage of bone.
One drop. Then another. The blood fell into the ceramic bowl, hissing as it hit the green paste of ground herbs. I quickly stirred the mixture with a wooden spoon, my movements precise despite the tremor in my hand. The paste turned a muddy, dark red.
The metallic scent of my own blood mixed with the sharp, earthy smell of the herbs, filling the stuffy room. It was the smell of my life for the past year. It was the smell of my sacrifice.
Taking a deep, shuddering breath, I carried the bowl to the bed where he lay. Alpha Grayson Benson. My supposed mate. Unconscious. Dying.
His chest was bare, revealing the jagged, blackened wound left by a silver dagger. It pulsed with a dark energy that fought against every healing art I knew. Until now.
I dipped my fingers into the bloody paste. It was still warm. I pressed my hand against his chest, centering it over the wound.
The moment the poultice touched his skin, the magic ignited. The blackened edges of the gash began to shrink, the raw flesh knitting itself together at a speed that defied nature. I could feel my life force draining out of me, flowing through my fingertips and into him, a river of energy feeding his recovery.
A wave of dizziness washed over me, so strong my vision swam with black spots. My knees buckled. I threw out a hand, my palm slapping against the hard wood of the bedside table to keep myself from collapsing. The room tilted violently.
Just as I steadied myself, his fingers twitched.
Grayson's eyes snapped open.
They were the color of wild honey, amber and fierce, but now they were clouded with confusion. His gaze darted around the room before landing on my face, hovering over him.
Recognition dawned.
And with it, a look of pure, undiluted loathing. The confusion vanished, replaced by a snarl that twisted his handsome features into something ugly. He had no idea what I had just done for him-no one had ever explained the true nature of my treatments. To him, I was merely the Omega who had been forced upon him, an unwanted presence beside his sickbed.
"You," he rasped, his voice a raw growl.
Before I could react, he swung his arm. The force of the blow was staggering. It caught me square in the shoulder, the impact echoing through my bones. I was thrown backward, my weakened body nothing against an Alpha's strength.
I hit the cold marble floor with a sickening thud. My head cracked against the leg of the heavy wooden wardrobe, and for a moment, the world went white with pain.
A low groan escaped my lips.
Grayson was already sitting up, ripping the IV needle from his arm with a savage tug. Blood trickled from the puncture wound, but he didn't seem to notice or care. He loomed over me, his shadow falling across my crumpled form.
He glared down at me, his eyes burning with a hatred so intense it felt like a physical blow. His chest heaved as he fought to steady his breathing. When he spoke again, his voice was lower, but each word carried the weight of an Alpha's decree.
"I, Grayson Benson, will reject you," he said. "I will never accept a conniving Omega like you as my Luna. I will have the ceremony prepared at once."
As if summoned by his rage, the heavy double doors to the bedroom burst open.
Lillian, his mother, rushed in. Her face, etched with worry, lit up with ecstatic relief when she saw her son sitting up, alive. "Grayson! Oh, thank the Goddess!"
But her joy evaporated the instant she heard his final words. Her head snapped toward me, her eyes narrowing into slits of pure malice. She saw me on the floor, a discarded piece of trash, and her expression hardened into one of cold fury.
"You," she hissed, her voice dripping with venom. "You brought this curse upon my son."
She marched toward me, her silk gown swishing around her ankles. Her hand rose, poised to strike. I saw the flash of her rings under the lamplight.
Instinct took over. I threw up my arm to block the blow. My bleeding wrist, wrapped in a now-soaked bandage, took the brunt of the impact. A fresh wave of pain shot up my arm.
Lillian didn't stop. She began to scream, her words a torrent of abuse. I was a jinx, a bad omen, a parasite who had brought nothing but disaster to their pack.
Grayson turned his head away, his profile cold and unforgiving. "Guards," he commanded, his voice ringing with the absolute authority of an Alpha. "Take her away. Prepare the hall for the rejection."
Two guards appeared in the doorway, their faces grim. They stormed into the room, each grabbing one of my arms. Their fingers dug into my flesh like talons, hauling me to my feet.
My legs were too weak to hold me. They dragged me from the room, my worn boots scraping against the polished marble, leaving the man I had just saved from death's door behind me.

ModernFor three years, I was the ghost wife to tech billionaire Julian Petersen.

When he finally saw Blair's true, venomous nature, his obsession didn't end-it just shifted to me. He hunted me down across the globe, offering billions not as an apology, but as a new set of golden chains. He thought he could buy me back after everything he'd done. He cornered me in my new life, his presence a suffocating shadow. His voice was a low command, "Get in the car, Arlene. We're going to talk." "And you will listen."

The Neglected Wife Is A Hidden Genius
ModernI woke up in the ICU, my lungs still burning from the freezing river water. Just outside the cracked door, I heard my adoptive family talking. That’s when the horrifying realization hit me: my drowning wasn't an accident. My adoptive mother had deliberately pried my fingers off the slippery rocks and pushed me in. "When is she going to wake up? This Rust Belt trash always finds a way to ruin our important moments." "If she's mentally unstable, we should just send her to that facility in the Hamptons and have her sign the inheritance waiver." My father and brothers coldly plotted my removal, while my fiancé, Eric, laughed flirtatiously with my younger sister. He had his arm around her waist, completely unbothered by the fact that I was fighting for my life after he had just scammed me out of half a million dollars. For ten years, I had smiled, obeyed, and shrunk myself to fit into their gilded cage, desperate for a sliver of their love. I couldn't understand how a decade of absolute devotion was met with calculated murder and such casual, cruel betrayal. But the pathetic, desperate Iona died in that icy water. As the suppressed memories of my true identity—"Silas", a master art restorer possessing centuries of dangerous, hidden knowledge—flooded my mind, my tears stopped. I picked up the phone, secured a marriage of convenience with the most powerful man in New York, and began my counterattack.

Not His Mate, But A Queen
WerewolfKaelen was supposed to be my destiny. The future Alpha of our pack, my childhood love, and my fated mate. But one night, I smelled another woman on him—a sickly sweet Omega scent I knew all too well. I followed him and found them under the great oak, locked in a lover's kiss. His betrayal was a slow and deliberate poison. When his precious Omega, Lyra, staged a fall, he cradled her like she was made of glass. But when he sabotaged my saddle during a dangerous jump, causing my horse to throw me and break my leg, he called it a "warning" not to touch her. His care for me afterward was just damage control to avoid my father's suspicion. At a public auction, he used my family's money to buy her a priceless diamond, leaving me humiliated and unable to pay. I finally understood what I’d overheard on the pack’s mind-link days before. To him and his brothers-in-arms, I was just a "pampered princess," a prize to be won for power. Lyra was the one they truly desired. He thought he could break me, force me to accept being second best. He was wrong. On the night of my 20th birthday, the night I was supposed to be bonded to him, I stood before two packs and made a different choice. I rejected him and announced my union with a rival Alpha, a man who sees me as a queen, not a consolation prize.

The Timid Wife Is A Ruthless Boss
BillionairesI married Curtiss Coffey under a strict business contract, playing the role of a pathetic, timid orphan to survive my greedy uncle’s family. They treated me like dirt, mocking my cheap clothes and forcing me to beg for their scraps while I lived in the shadow of their Manhattan penthouse. But my life as a doormat ended the night Curtiss discovered who I really was. During a high-stakes meeting at an exclusive SOHO club, a door cracked open for a split second. Inside, I wasn't the trembling assistant they all despised; I was Freya, the ruthless, cold-blooded founder of Verve, dominating powerful executives and dismantling their pathetic offers with surgical precision. Curtiss stood in the hallway, frozen in the shadows, his eyes locked on the woman he thought he knew. He watched me command the room with a lethal, calculated grace that shattered every lie I had ever told him. The timid girl he had pitied and protected didn't exist. He had been playing a game with a predator, and he had been her biggest fool all along. As the door clicked shut, he didn't storm in to confront me. He simply loosened his tie, a dark, terrifying smile spreading across his face. He looked like a wolf that had finally cornered his prey. He turned to his assistant and gave the only order that mattered: "Lock down the club. Nobody leaves."
