"God, I've missed this," Lincoln's voice was rough with desire, nothing like the gentle tone he used with me. "Seven years, and you still drive me crazy." Seven years.

Chapter 1 of Honeymoon Haunted by Ex

The champagne flute slipped from my fingers, crystal shattering against marble as I stood frozen in the doorway of what should have been my bridal suite. The sound echoed through the opulent room, but it was nothing compared to the crash of my world collapsing.

Lincoln's hands were tangled in Teresa's dark hair, her legs wrapped around his waist as he pressed her against the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city. The late afternoon sun cast them in golden light, creating a scene that would have been beautiful if it hadn't been destroying everything I believed in.

"God, I've missed this," Lincoln's voice was rough with desire, nothing like the gentle tone he used with me. "Seven years, and you still drive me crazy."

Seven years. The number hit me like a physical blow. Seven years meant this had started before our engagement, continued through every milestone we'd celebrated together, every 'I love you' he'd whispered in my ear.

Teresa's laugh was breathless, wicked. "Remember our first time in your office? You couldn't keep your hands off me during the board meeting the next day."

"How could I forget?" His mouth moved to her throat, and she arched against him. "You wore that red dress, the one that drove me insane. I knew then I was lost."

My legs felt like water. The red dress. I remembered that day—Teresa had come to Lincoln's office to discuss some charity event for the family foundation. I'd been so proud of how well my sister-in-law and fiancé got along, how seamlessly she'd integrated into our social circle after marrying my brother Marcus.

What a fool I'd been.

"Tomorrow she'll be Mrs. Sanders," Teresa murmured, her voice carrying a strange mix of sadness and possession. "But tonight, you're still mine."

"Don't." Lincoln's voice turned fierce. "Don't talk about tomorrow. Tonight is ours, like it's always been ours."

The raw intimacy in his voice, the way he spoke to her like she was precious, irreplaceable—it was everything I'd thought we shared, everything I'd believed was real. But this, this passion, this desperate need—this was what real love looked like. And it had never been mine.

I should have left. Should have backed away quietly and processed this privately. Instead, I stepped into the room, my heels clicking against the marble with deliberate precision.

They sprang apart like guilty teenagers, Lincoln's face draining of color as Teresa scrambled to straighten her dress. The silence stretched between us, heavy with years of deception finally exposed.

"Ivory." Lincoln's voice cracked on my name. "This isn't—we weren't—"

"Seven years." My voice sounded strange to my own ears, too calm, too controlled. "You said seven years."

His mouth opened and closed uselessly. Teresa had gone completely still, her dark eyes wide with something that might have been fear or defiance.

"It doesn't mean anything," Lincoln said desperately, taking a step toward me. "It's just—physical. You're the one I'm marrying. You're the one I love."

The laugh that escaped me was sharp enough to cut glass. "Physical? For seven years? Through our entire engagement?"

"Ivory, please—" He reached for me, but I stepped back, my hand instinctively going to the engagement ring that suddenly felt like a shackle.

"Tell me," I said, looking directly at Teresa. "Tell me about the seven years."

Teresa's composure cracked, tears spilling down her cheeks. "I never meant for you to find out. Never meant to hurt you."

"But you did it anyway." The words came out flat, matter-of-fact. "In my brother's bed, I assume? Or did you prefer hotel rooms?"

"Ivory—" Lincoln's voice was pleading now.

"Both," Teresa whispered, and the honesty of it was somehow worse than any lie could have been. "We tried to stop so many times, but we couldn't. I love him, Ivory. I've loved him since the moment we met."

The engagement ring came off my finger with surprising ease, as if it had been waiting for this moment. The diamond caught the dying sunlight as I held it up, studying the way the light fractured through the stone—beautiful, brilliant, and ultimately just an illusion.

"Then you should have had him," I said quietly, setting the ring on the nearest table with a soft click. "Because I won't marry a man who's been living a lie for seven years."

Lincoln's face went white. "Ivory, no. We can work through this. I'll end it with Teresa, I swear. It's you I want to marry."

"No," I said, pulling out my phone with steady hands. "You want to marry the Hill family fortune and connections. You want the security of a proper wife while keeping your passion as a dirty secret."

My fingers found Walker Reed's number—Walker, who had been my friend since childhood, who had always been honest, always been there. The phone rang once before his familiar voice answered.

"Walker," I said, my voice finally beginning to shake. "I need you."

Betrayed by My Alpha Mate
The bass from the karaoke bar pulsed through my chest like a second heartbeat, each thump making my temples throb. I watched Lucca laughing with his pack brothers, his arm slung casually over Delta Marcus's shoulder as they belted out some terrible rendition of an old pack anthem. The crowd was a sea of familiar faces from Silvermoon, all here to celebrate our territory's founding anniversary. I'd been smiling for two hours straight, playing the perfect Luna-to-be, but the noise was finally winning. 'I need some air,' I murmured to Mira, who nodded with understanding before turning back to her own conversation. The cool night air hit my face like a blessing as I slipped through the bar's side door. Silvermoon territory at night was beautiful—the trees rustled gently, and moonlight painted everything in silver and shadow. I took a deep breath, letting Selene, my wolf, stretch contentedly within me. For just a moment, I could pretend I was alone with the night sky. Then I heard Lucca's voice.

Just like the evening breeze leaves no trace
Just like the evening breeze leaves no trace
Chapter 1 It was their seventh wedding anniversary. Carolyn found the divorce agreement in Roger’s nightstand. The pages were covered in scribbles and corrections, as if he’d agonized over them for years. *"If, during the marriage, I fall in love with another person, I voluntarily relinquish all assets and leave with nothing. Asset details as follows…"* His first impulse had been to walk away empty-handed. But the asset section told a different story—a mess of revisions. First, he’d crossed out the property he intended to give her. Then, the fifty million earmarked for her was scratched out and replaced with five hundred thousand. Finally, as if in penance, he had written a single line. *"Better to have Carolyn leave with nothing. No choice, Catherine is pregnant."* … Carolyn sank onto the bed, disbelief washing over her. On the agreement, Roger’s signature was clean and decisive, without a hint of hesitation. And the document had been drafted seven years ago—the very year they married. That year, Roger had been willing to give up everything for her. Yet every year after, he had crossed out another piece of their shared life. Now, seven years later, the one leaving with nothing would be her. Her phone buzzed abruptly. A message from Roger. *"Urgent business. Won't be back."* She called, only to find his phone already switched off. Another notification flashed—a screenshot from a friend. Catherine, the student she sponsored, had posted on social media. *"Wow, got praised! To commemorate my first period without a leak, the big boss said we should celebrate properly!"* In a nine-photo collage, Roger gazed at her, eyes crinkling with affection as he fastened a dazzling gemstone necklace around her neck. The post was tagged at a couples-themed hotel. Carolyn’s breath caught. He couldn’t remember seven years of marriage, of weathering storms together—but he could find the energy to celebrate Catherine’s… leak-free period. And that pendant… she’d seen it at an auction just last week. It was her mother’s lost heirloom. She’d been ready to bid when her bank card was frozen. She’d asked Roger why. A long time later, he finally texted back, telling her not to waste money on such impractical things. Clutching her bidding paddle, she’d sat helplessly in the auction hall. In the end, she resolved to sell one of her own designs to raise the funds. But someone on the phone swooped in with an unbeatable offer and took it. For weeks afterward, Carolyn hated herself—hated that she couldn’t protect her mother’s last keepsake. She never imagined the one who snatched it away was Roger. He knew exactly how much that pendant meant to her. Yet he gave it to Catherine. Even on their seventh anniversary, Roger had lied about being busy with work, while wining and dining the girl she’d sponsored. The anniversary gift he left her was a divorce agreement demanding she leave with nothing. Seven years of marriage. Seven years of infidelity. And Carolyn had known nothing. She’d even introduced the other woman to him herself. Catherine was the impoverished student Carolyn sponsored. The first time Catherine came to their home to give thanks, Roger found her intrusive and disliked her on sight. *"That girl has no manners. Tracked mud all over my cashmere rug."* *"If her grades aren’t up to par, cut the sponsorship."* Back then, Carolyn had teased him, saying not to be jealous—it was good the girl had a grateful heart. She never once suspected Roger and Catherine. For seven years, everyone in their circle believed Roger never played around. That he loved only Carolyn. But by their next meeting, Catherine had become Roger’s personal assistant. Roger explained, *"The girl’s had it tough. You’ve sponsored her for years. Giving her a job is just helping you out."* Carolyn had laughed it off. Now, hands trembling, she opened Catherine’s social media feed. Catherine had always hidden her posts from Carolyn. Now, she seemed desperate to flaunt everything. While Carolyn drank until her stomach bled to secure a deal for Roger, Catherine was using Roger’s card to buy her first Louis Vuitton. While Carolyn changed bedpans for Roger’s bedridden grandmother, Roger was taking Catherine to a perfume atelier for a blending class—calling it a business trip. Catherine had even complained online. *"Your wife is such a pampered princess. Can't handle the tiniest thing without you running back. Can she not live without a man?"* And Roger had replied beneath it. *"If she were half as independent as you, I’d have an easier life."* But that day… Carolyn’s mother had lost her battle with cancer. She’d cried until her heart felt shredded, scrambling to handle the arrangements. All the while, Roger kept checking his phone impatiently, eager to leave. Not for work, she realized now—but because he was desperate to get back to Catherine.

My Husband Used Me as a Shield for His Mistress
The lingerie felt like a mistake the moment I slipped it on. I stood in our penthouse bathroom—all marble and chrome, cold as a morgue—staring at my reflection. Black lace. Nothing too obvious. The saleswoman at La Perla had promised it was elegant, sophisticated. I'd nodded like I knew what I was doing, like I hadn't spent the last five years sleeping alone in a king-sized bed while my husband worked through the night in his study. Five years. Our anniversary. I twisted my wedding ring. The platinum band caught the light, throwing fractured rainbows across the mirror.
