About this story
Four years ago, Clara Vance was stripped of her inheritance and chased out of the country when her manipulative step-sister, Serena, framed her for corporate sabotage. Her fiancé, Julian, didn't just abandon her—he handed Serena the evidence. Now, Clara is back for the annual Global Hospitality Summit. Julian arrogantly thinks she's a desperate failure begging for a second chance, offering her a degrading position. But they don't know Clara is secretly married to Arthur Sterling, the apex predator of the business world. As Serena tries to launch a smear campaign targeting Clara's daughter, she is about to realize Clara didn't come back to clear her name. She came back to take everything.
Chapter 1
The crystal chandeliers of the Grand Elysium Hotel cast a fractured, brilliant light across the polished marble floors. It was the opening evening of the Global Hospitality Summit, the absolute zenith of the corporate calendar, and the air hummed with the quiet, predatory energy of the world’s most ruthless executives. Clara Vance stood near the towering indoor waterfall, her posture impeccable. She wore a tailored crimson pantsuit that clung to her sharp silhouette, the deep color contrasting starkly with the icy indifference in her dark eyes. Four years ago, she had been chased out of this city, stripped of her inheritance, and branded a corporate saboteur. Tonight, she was back. She checked her phone, noting the time. She was early. "Clara? Is that actually you?" The voice was like nails on a chalkboard, instantly dragging the ghosts of four years past into the present. Clara didn’t flinch. She slowly turned, her expression meticulously blank, to face the man who had once promised her the world before happily handing her over to the wolves. Julian Croft stood a few feet away, his chest puffed out beneath a bespoke navy suit that screamed new money. His hair was styled with the same arrogant sweep she remembered, but there was a new smugness in his eyes—the look of a man who believed he had conquered his universe. Clinging to his arm like a decorative parasite was Serena Vance. Clara’s step-sister. The current darling of the Vance Hotel Group, wearing a glittering silver gown that was entirely too loud for a business summit. "Julian," Clara said, her voice smooth and painfully bored. "Serena. I see the years haven't done much for your taste in evening wear."Serena’s fake, sickly-sweet smile faltered for a fraction of a second before she recovered, her eyes darting over Clara’s attire. "Clara! Oh my god, I can't believe it. The security here is usually so strict. How on earth did you get past the lobby guards? Did you sneak in through the service entrance?""I walked through the front doors, Serena," Clara replied, her tone completely deadpan. "It’s amazing what a little confidence and a lack of a criminal record will do for you."Julian stepped forward, puffing his chest out further, adopting a look of profound, condescending pity. "There's no need to be defensive, Clara. We’re just… surprised. After the embezzlement scandal with your father's company, we assumed you were still hiding out in Europe. Or wherever it was you ran off to.""I didn't run, Julian. I relocated," Clara corrected, her dark eyes locking onto his. "And as for the embezzlement, we both know who actually forged those ledgers." She allowed her gaze to drift lazily toward Serena. Serena gasped, clutching Julian’s arm tighter. "You’re still clinging to that ridiculous lie? Clara, Daddy forgave you. Well, he didn't forgive you, but he stopped talking about it. You broke his heart, you know. And now you show up here, crashing the most exclusive summit of the year? It's pathetic.""The only thing pathetic here is the fact that Croft Holdings’ stock has plummeted twelve percent this quarter, yet you’re still wasting money on thousand-dollar ties," Clara retorted, looking Julian up and down. "Tell me, Julian, does the board know you’re spending summit hours harassing your ex-fiancée instead of begging for investors?"

Absolute Possession
In the cutthroat business jungle of the city, Alexander reigns as a wild wolf—arrogant, untouchable, and feared by all. When Chloe first crosses his path, he casually shatters a champagne glass over a predatory producer’s head; when she offers a polite thank-you, he fixes her with dark, lazy eyes and murmurs, “You don’t recognize me?” Rumors ignite overnight: the invincible media tycoon is keeping an obscure, scandal-tainted actress at his side—a woman the public loves to hate for supposedly destroying a marriage. Netizens sneer at her “luck,” certain she’s nothing more than a cheap stand-in for his legendary lost love. Chloe doesn’t care. To her, it’s strictly business: take the money, count the days, and walk away clean. That is, until she stumbles into the locked art studio on his estate. Every wall is covered in hundreds of portraits—smiling, frowning, glowing—all of her, drawn when she was just a girl. Before she can process the shock, familiar, heavy footsteps echo behind her. Chloe turns—and slaps the powerful man across the face. Alexander doesn’t rage. He only lets out a low, dark chuckle, his gaze locking onto the obsession he’s never truly let go.

After My Mate Abandoned Me, I Escaped
The late afternoon sun cast long shadows through the human town's market square as I wandered between the stalls, breathing in the mingled scents of fresh bread and blooming flowers. Here, among humans who knew nothing of pack hierarchies or mate bonds, I could pretend to be just another woman selecting roses for her dining table. My fingers traced the velvet petals of a deep crimson rose, and for a moment, I allowed myself to imagine Ethan's face when he saw them on our table tonight. Three years together, and I still hoped for those rare moments when his cold facade would crack, revealing glimpses of the mate bond I believed lay dormant beneath. "Beautiful choice," the elderly vendor said, her weathered hands wrapping the stems in brown paper. "Someone special?" "My mate," I replied softly, the word still sending a flutter through my chest despite everything. The woman's knowing smile faltered as a chill swept through the warm evening air. The market sounds—haggling voices, children's laughter, the clink of coins—seemed to dim as four figures materialized from the crowd. Victoria Taylor stood at their center, her blonde hair catching the dying light like spun gold. Three Delta wolves flanked her, their presence turning the peaceful market into a hunting ground.

To save her sister, Clara must surrender to a man who demands absolute control. As she enters his gilded cage, Clara realizes the true danger isn't his cruelty, but her own dark desire.

His Mistress Bound Me While He Rejected Our Bond

And the woman Adrian discarded turns out to carry Lycan royal blood—blood his Alpha command can no longer control. Now every lie, every dose, every order has a record, and Tessa is done begging to be chosen. This time, Adrian and his mistress are the ones trapped by what they did.
