Introduction
"That idiot still thinks I'm the helpless little wolf pup from the orphanage who needed her protection... She has no idea I now prefer cunning women like you."
Hearing those words from their own mouths, my heart shattered completely. In my rage, I decided to fight fire with fire, rescuing the mysterious werewolf Eric from a dangerous containment facility just before his execution. I thought I'd found my weapon for revenge, never knowing this "dangerous" wolf harbored an even greater secret.
Chapter 1
Zoey's POV
I'll never forget what I heard the night I got engaged.
"Once she becomes my legal wife, I can take all her assets."
But let me start from the beginning.
After tonight, I would become Asher Williams' fiancée.
I looked around the brilliantly lit ballroom, unable to suppress a smile.
In this society where humans and werewolves coexisted, our love story had been dubbed by the media as "the perfect cross-species fairy tale." Seven years of waiting was finally about to pay off.
"Ladies and gentlemen," I gripped the microphone, excitement bubbling in my voice, "I want to share the story of Asher and me..."
We met at St. Mary's Orphanage when I was twelve. As the true heir of the Anderson family, I should have grown up in luxury, but due to an accident, I ended up at the orphanage. It was that skinny werewolf boy who gave me warmth, and we promised to stay together forever.
"Back then we had nothing but each other," I gazed lovingly at Asher beside me, "Even after I returned to my family, I never forgot our promise."
Asher gently took my hand: "Zoey, you were the one who saved me from the darkness."
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience:
"From orphanage to wealth - so inspiring!"
"This is TRUE love!"
I saw my parents Margaret and Robert Anderson sitting in the front row, smiling. Three years ago when they found me, they had cut off all contact for a full year because I brought Asher home.
To regain my family's acceptance while being with the man I love - this is pure happiness.
Halfway through the ceremony, Asher leaned close to my ear: "Baby, your makeup is smudged."
"I'll go touch up real quick."
"Hurry back, my little princess." He kissed my cheek softly.
After fixing my makeup, I was heading back to the ballroom when I heard strange panting sounds coming from the storage room.
How could anyone be in there?
I carefully pushed the door open a crack and peered through the gap—
Asher had my sister Janet pinned against the wall, kissing her frantically. His hands were roughly tearing at her dress, sliding directly into her panties. Janet had her legs wrapped around his waist, letting out obscene moans.
This can't be real!
"Fuck, I'm so sick of playing the innocent act," Janet panted, "Every time I see you being gentle with that idiot, I want to puke."
My heart nearly stopped beating.
"Soon, baby," Asher's voice made my blood run cold, "Once she becomes my legal wife, I can legitimately take all her assets."
WHAT? I bit my lip so hard I drew blood.
"Your acting is SO damn good," Janet laughed breathlessly, "You've been putting on this show for three years since she brought you home - even I almost believed it."
"That fool thinks I'm still the little wolf cub from the orphanage who needed her protection," Asher sneered, "She has no idea I prefer cunning women like you."
No... impossible... My vision started going dark.
"Once we control the company, we'll dump that waste of space," Janet's voice became even more brazen, "Anderson Corporation should have been mine anyway. I've been in this family for over ten years - why should some orphanage brat who just came back steal it all?"
"She thought she was doing me a favor, but really gave me the chance to get close to you," Asher continued caressing her while agreeing, "Janet, you're so much more interesting than her."
"That saint bitch thinks she's some kind of savior," Janet laughed smugly, "She'll never imagine that the man she loves most and the sister she trusts most are joining forces to destroy her."
I forced down the urge to scream and stumbled out of the storage room, rushing into the bathroom. The woman in the mirror was deathly pale, blood trickling from her lips.
SHIT! Get it together!
I splashed ice water on my face - the sting helped me focus.
Since they want to act, I'll play along to the very end.
"Sweetheart, are you okay? You look so pale," Asher approached with fake concern.
Looking at his phony worry, I fought the urge to slap him across the face.
"Just a little nervous - this is the most important moment of my life, after all." I forced out a sweet smile.
He gently caressed my face, the gesture making my stomach churn. "My little princess is always so adorable."
Go to hell, you traitor.
"Now, will the couple please exchange rings!" the officiant's voice echoed throughout the venue.
Spotlights hit us as Asher knelt on one knee, producing the diamond ring I had personally selected and paid for.
"Zoey Anderson, will you marry me?"
The crowd erupted in applause. I saw Janet standing in the crowd with a smile, her eyes gleaming with triumph.
These two pieces of shit.
"I do."
My firm voice carried throughout the entire hall. But only I knew the true meaning behind those words:
I DO want to make your lives a living hell.

“There are no limits between us,” he chuckled, the mirth sparkling in his gorgeous eyes. “And all of this stems from the night you gave me both pain and pleasure. I’m simply returning the favor.”

The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.

Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
