Introduction
She cheerfully told my father the news, deciding they should celebrate with a nice dinner.
Of course.
After all, they could finally be rid of the burden I’d become—no more tormenting me, no more keeping me locked away.
They could go back to being the respectable parents everyone thought they were.
But—
Someone was bound to see the truth.
Chapter 1
I died, but my consciousness lingered, trapped in a haze that wouldn't lift.
My mother, Sheila, stood outside the sunroom, staring at my body.
There was no grief on her face, no panic.
Only calm.
As if she was just watching something she'd waited for finally happen.
She looked at me for five minutes, then turned and walked away.
It was another forty minutes before she finally called 911.
"911. What's your emergency?"
"My daughter—she's not breathing! You have to hurry, please!" Sheila cried, her voice shaking with panic.
"Ma'am, please stay calm. The ambulance is on its way. Are you performing CPR?"
"I—I can't touch her, I'm afraid I might hurt her."
No.
You're not afraid of hurting me.
You waited forty minutes just to make sure I'd never wake up again, didn't you?
I heard Sheila whisper to my father, Clay, "They're coming. Remember what we agreed on."
Clay replied, "She has autism. She never wanted to leave that room, so we brought her meals every day."
"Yes, we respected her wishes."
"We're good parents."
"We're good parents."
Good parents?
Would good parents let their daughter become part of the furniture?
I drifted into the living room and saw my father. There was no grief on his face, just a tightness, like he was bracing for an inspection.
The same look he wore every Sunday before church.
Devout, proper, flawless.
They were rehearsing their lines, and I was just the insignificant dead girl in their script.
Fifteen minutes later, sirens shattered the quiet of this upscale neighborhood.
Two EMTs rushed into the house. Sheila, sobbing, pointed toward the sunroom. "Please, help her!"
I floated back to the sunroom, hovering above my own body.
Let's see what faces they make when they see me.
The older EMT slid open the glass door and froze in his tracks.
"Oh my God…"
He stumbled back, covering his mouth and nose, his face draining of color.
His partner stepped forward, took one look, and immediately turned away, gagging.
That smell—
Waste, rotting skin, moldy walls, and the stench of death itself—hit them like a solid wall.
Yes, that's the smell.
That's the air I breathed every single day I was alive.
Welcome to my world.
"What is this? What the hell is this?"
The EMT forced himself to step inside.
He saw my body.
My skin had fused with the sofa beneath me, like I'd grown into it.
My hair was so thin I was almost bald. My nails were dug deep into the flesh of my palms. My lips were cracked, with something black at the corners.
The sofa's fabric had rotted away, exposing the foam, and my body was wedged into it—impossible to tell where I ended and the furniture began.
He crouched down, his fingers trembling as he reached for my carotid artery.
Don't bother.
I wanted to tell him I was long gone.
He stood up, his voice sharp and urgent over the radio. "We need police backup. Repeat, we need police backup. This is not a natural death."
I drifted back to the living room, curious to see Sheila's face.
Just as I expected, when she heard them call for police, her face went stiff for a split second—then she started sobbing even louder.
"She's autistic. She's refused to leave that room since she was fourteen. We took care of her, brought her food every day and talked to her."
Every day?
I drifted closer, staring at her face.
The last time you brought me food was three, or four days ago? I can't even remember anymore.
"We respected her choices," Clay said, his eyes red. "She needed her own space because of her illness. We gave her that."
Her own space?
I turned to my father.
You mean that sunroom, the one boarded up from the inside? So that's what you call "her own space."
Detective Lisa stood in the middle of the living room, slowly scanning the scene.
The crystal chandelier cast soft light. The leather sofa was spotless. The walls were covered with carefully framed family photos.
Clay and Sheila smiling before church, raising glasses at charity galas, hugging at the beach...
Not a single photo of me.
Not one.
See that, Detective?
I drifted to Lisa's side.
She couldn't see me, but I wanted to say it anyway.
See these photos? In this house, I was no different than the air.
Lisa walked to the sunroom door and started her inspection.
The windows were sealed shut from the inside. The walls were black with mold. The floor was covered in filth you couldn't even identify. And my body—dumped on the rotting sofa like yesterday's trash.
She turned, looking at Sheila, who was still sobbing.
"You're sure you brought her food every day?"
"Yes," Sheila choked out, "We never gave up on her."
"Then why is she so small?"
I wanted to give Lisa a standing ovation.
Clay cleared his throat. "She… she never liked to eat. You have to understand, people with autism sometimes do things you can't imagine. We just couldn't understand her."
"But autism doesn't make your skin fuse with a sofa," Lisa cut him off. "And neither does loving care. This... This is murder."
I saw Sheila's pupils tighten just a bit. Clay's fingers were trembling.
The medical examiner, Iver Beckham, arrived on scene.
He pulled back the blanket covering my body and examined me.
Bedsores everywhere. Muscles in my legs wasted away. Nails warped and broken. Something foreign lodged in my mouth.
His eyes landed on my right hand—my index finger was stretched out, pointing toward the corner of the room.
Beckham walked over and took a closer look.
The wall caught the light strangely, like it had been painted over again and again.
He took out his phone, snapped a photo, and marked the spot.
"There's something off here," he murmured to Lisa. "Let's have the parents step outside. We need to hit this wall with a UV light."
I hovered near the ceiling, watching it all unfold.
Yes, Dr. Beckham.
That corner holds twelve years of my silent screams.
I pointed with my finger to show you...
The truth is written on that wall.
My voice is there, too.

After surviving betrayal, loss, and the lies that nearly destroyed everything they loved, they dedicated themselves to building a future. What began as a training facility for dragons soon grew into something far greater—a place where dragons and other species from around the world could learn, train, and thrive together.
Now the facility is flourishing. Their children have grown, many finding their own mates among dragons, shifters, and other species from distant lands. The family Ria fought so hard to protect has expanded beyond anything she once dreamed possible, bringing new friendships, new adventures, and a growing legacy of grandchildren.
As old secrets continue to surface, long-held beliefs about dragons and mixed-species bloodlines are being challenged. Truths buried for generations are finally coming to light, reshaping everything they thought they knew about their world.
Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
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?
The First Female Alpha
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...
and became the First Female Alpha.
