Introduction

Every July, my husband left for a business trip to France—so for seven full years of marriage, we never once got to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
This time, I flew all the way to France to surprise him, and mid-flight, I stumbled across a social media post.
My dream girl finally agreed to be with me. How do I make the frumpy, worn-out wife back home file for divorce on her own?
The OP poured out his grievances in the comment section:
When my dream girl suddenly moved abroad, I married her former best friend to keep me company through the hard times, just so I wouldn’t lose touch with her completely.
Now she’s finally said yes to being with me, and I’ve made enough to give her the lavish, privileged life she deserves.
I want my wife to find out about my affair herself so I can get a clean divorce without a fight, but she’s so painfully oblivious. I’ve come home reeking of my dream girl’s perfume on purpose, and every single July I fly here to France for our private time together, watching the lavender bloom in Provence with her. She never noticed a thing.
Perfume. July. France.
Those matching details made my fingers go numb. A deafening buzz exploded in my skull. A bone-deep chill washed over me, and I prayed with everything I had that it was all just a terrible coincidence.
Until I read the final line.
Just got a spending alert from her supplementary credit card—she bought a flight to France. I’m heading to pick up my dream girl now, might as well keep an eye out for her, just in case.
The plane touched down. When I stepped into the arrivals hall, I lifted my head almost instinctively.
There stood Shen Sinian, the man I hadn’t seen in two weeks, in a crisp, tailored suit, a bouquet of roses in his hand, locked in a passionate kiss with a woman with a stunning, willowy figure, her back to me.
He opened his eyes by chance, and through the crowd of travelers, his gaze locked directly with mine.

Chapter 1

My husband Robert Fitzgerald has to go on business trips to Asteria every July, which means we haven't celebrated our wedding anniversary once in our seven years of marriage.

This time I specially flew to Asteria to surprise him, and while scrolling on my phone during the trip, I came across a post.

[My dream girl finally agreed to be with me. How can I get my wife to divorce me on her own?]

The poster was complaining in the comments section.

"My dream girl suddenly went abroad. To keep in touch with her, I married her former best friend who stayed with me through hard times."

"Now my dream girl has agreed to be with me, and I can afford to give her a good life."

"I hope my wife discovers my affair on her own so we can divorce naturally, but she's too slow to catch on. I deliberately come home with my dream girl's perfume on me, and I even come to Asteria every July to watch the lavender in Emerald Valley with her, spending time together as a couple, but she still hasn't noticed."

Perfume, July, Asteria.

These coincidences made my fingers go numb.

My mind went blank.

I felt cold all over, hoping it was all just a coincidence.

Until I saw the last line.

"Just got a text about a charge on the supplementary card - she bought a plane ticket to Asteria. Perfect timing to pick up my dream girl. Let's see what happens."

The plane landed. As I reached the departure hall, I instinctively looked up.

Robert, whom I hadn't seen in half a month, stood there in a sharp suit, holding roses and kissing a woman with a stunning figure.

He opened his eyes by chance, and across the crowd, our eyes met.

Chapter 1

A flash of panic crossed Robert's eyes, mixed with a hint of excitement, but he quickly regained his composure.

The woman in his arms took off her mask - it was Lily Cross, a rising new model.

She was also the daughter of the woman who seduced my father and drove my mother to a mental breakdown.

The crowd rushed forward, cameras pointed at the two of them.

Lily nestled into Robert's arms and said sweetly,

"Since everyone's seen us, I won't hide it anymore. This is my boyfriend Robert. I'm pregnant with our baby. I hope everyone will give us their blessing."

Those words hit me like thunder. I trembled with anger and stepped forward, but was knocked down hard by the chaotic crowd. A sharp pain shot through my ankle.

Robert instinctively reached out to help me, but seeing Lily in his arms, he immediately pulled back and turned to shield her from the crowd with his body.

I sat on the cold floor, watching how carefully he protected Lily, my heart sinking bit by bit.

I don't know how long passed before a shadow fell over me and Robert's voice sounded,

"Sarah, where are you hurt?"

He bent down to check my ankle, his movements as gentle as always, but I only felt disgusted.

"Why? Why her?"

My voice was hoarse beyond recognition.

His grip suddenly tightened, his tone cold and hard,

"What happened with the previous generation has nothing to do with Lily. Don't make her out to be the other woman."

"Isn't she though?"

I glared up at him.

He silently picked me up and put me in the car, then slowly began to talk about what happened in his senior year.

He was robbed and beaten by some thugs, and it was Lily who carried him to the nurse's office and left money for him. Later Lily went abroad, and he'd remembered that kindness for over ten years.

"I only pursued you and married you because I knew you were her best friend. I wanted to learn more about her through you."

"If we're really being honest, you're the third party. I only got close to you because of her."

He turned to look at me, without a trace of guilt in his eyes,

"Sarah, you haven't exactly lost out. I've been good enough to you all these years we've been together."

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have the life you have now. So what if you know everything now? You need me."

"Without me, you're nothing."

Robert sneered and handed me a plane ticket,

"Tonight's flight back home. Lily is pregnant, and I don't want you here affecting her mood. As for us, I'll bring her back home after the lavender season ends, and we'll talk then."

My heart felt like it was being cut with a dull knife. Eyes red, I watched him skillfully write down the dosage and timing of medication on a sticky note, his fingers brushing through my messy hair, but his tone was threatening,

"Go back and take care of yourself. Don't make a scene in front of Lily, or I'll immediately stop paying for your mother's hospital bills. You know how expensive that place is."

All my pent-up emotions exploded at once. I grabbed the vase from the table and threw it at him,

"Get out, you bastard!"

He dodged slightly, called his assistant Mark Rodriguez to take me to the airport, then suddenly asked before turning away,

"Why did you suddenly come here this time?"

I looked at him calmly, saying nothing.

He would never know that I came to tell him I was pregnant with his child, wanting to celebrate our first wedding anniversary as a family of three.

On the way to the airport with Mark, I took out my phone and blocked Robert.

Then I replied to the email from that key military functional fragrance research lab on the other side of the ocean, who had wanted to invite me to join them for a long time:

[I'm willing to participate in the research project. My only requirement is ensuring my mother's safety.]

They replied surprisingly fast.

[The project will take at least ten years, possibly thirty. Does your spouse agree?]

I replied through tears:

[Very soon, there won't be a spouse anymore.]

This trip to Asteria - the surprise had become a joke.

And it was time to settle my accounts with Robert, slowly.

I caught him.

The man I was meant to marry—the rising Alpha, the pride of the Pack—thrusting into another girl like I didn't exist.

But I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I didn't even flinch.

Because the pain had carved me hollow long before he ever touched her.

He thinks I'm weak. That I'll stand by his side in two days, smile for the ceremony, and hand him my loyalty with the Alpha title.

But he's wrong.

I'm not the broken little Luna they think I am. I'm the storm they never saw coming.

The Pack worships him, but only I know the truth buried beneath his perfect lies. So I'll take everything he wants most—the throne, the title, the crown he was born to wear—and win it out from under him, in front of everyone who ever called me unworthy.

Screw the Pack. Screw the respect. Screw being tame.

I'm fury dressed in skin, madness wearing heels, and heartbreak turned into a goddamn weapon.

They wanted a loyal Luna??

Instead...

They created a monster.

And when the throne is finally mine...

The Pack won't remember the name of the Alpha who betrayed me.

They'll remember the woman who took his crown...

I woke up three years into a marriage I barely remembered—pregnant with twins that weren't my husband's.

Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.

Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
