The familiar hum of JFK Airport washed over me as I stepped off my Delta flight, my heart pounding with a curious mixture of dread and serenity. One year ago, I had fled this city with nothing but shattered dreams and humiliation. Now I returned as Victoria Sterling—though in my heart, I was still Sarah Mitchell, just a stronger version of her. I adjusted the simple cashmere scarf around my neck, a gift from Alexander. "Comfort over appearance," he'd said with that tender smile that still made my heart skip. The memory of his voice steadied me as I made my way toward baggage claim. "You'll be fine," I whispered to myself, gently touching the delicate platinum band on my finger—a habit I'd developed whenever I needed reassurance. The weight of it grounded me, a constant reminder that I was no longer alone, no longer the woman who had been discarded like yesterday's newspaper. I spotted my navy blue suitcase on the carousel and reached for it, opting for the simple wool coat I'd packed rather than the designer labels that filled my closet at home. Alexander understood my need to blend in during this trip, to move through New York like a ghost before making my appearance at tonight's charity gala.

Chapter 1 of Revenge on Ex - Rivals

The familiar hum of JFK Airport washed over me as I stepped off my Delta flight, my heart pounding with a curious mixture of dread and serenity. One year ago, I had fled this city with nothing but shattered dreams and humiliation. Now I returned as Victoria Sterling—though in my heart, I was still Sarah Mitchell, just a stronger version of her.

I adjusted the simple cashmere scarf around my neck, a gift from Alexander. "Comfort over appearance," he'd said with that tender smile that still made my heart skip. The memory of his voice steadied me as I made my way toward baggage claim.

"You'll be fine," I whispered to myself, gently touching the delicate platinum band on my finger—a habit I'd developed whenever I needed reassurance. The weight of it grounded me, a constant reminder that I was no longer alone, no longer the woman who had been discarded like yesterday's newspaper.

I spotted my navy blue suitcase on the carousel and reached for it, opting for the simple wool coat I'd packed rather than the designer labels that filled my closet at home. Alexander understood my need to blend in during this trip, to move through New York like a ghost before making my appearance at tonight's charity gala.

As I wheeled my luggage toward passport control, the crowd parted momentarily, and my breath caught in my throat. There, not twenty feet away, stood Ryan Blackwood and Amanda Chen.

Time seemed to slow as I took in the sight of them. Ryan looked exactly as I remembered—tall, with that carefully cultivated stubble and the Rolex watch he checked compulsively. Amanda clung to his arm, her fingers digging into his sleeve like talons, her eyes darting around the terminal as if searching for threats to her position.

I had imagined this moment countless times over the past year—what I would say, how I would feel. Yet now that it was happening, all I felt was a strange detachment, as if I were watching a movie of someone else's life.

I could have turned away, avoided them entirely. But something in me—perhaps the new Sarah, or perhaps the old one with a score to settle—kept walking forward.

Ryan's eyes slid over me, then returned with a flicker of confusion. I saw the moment he thought he recognized something familiar, followed immediately by dismissal. To him, I was just another face in the crowd, certainly not the woman he had left standing alone in a wedding dress.

"Excuse me," I said quietly as I moved past them in the narrow corridor.

Amanda's head snapped toward me, her eyes narrowing with the instinctive hostility of a woman who perceived all females as potential threats. "Do we know you?" she demanded, her voice sharp enough to draw glances from nearby travelers.

I paused, meeting her gaze with a calmness that would have been impossible for the old Sarah. "I don't believe we've been properly introduced."

Ryan studied me more carefully now, a smirk forming on his lips. "Wait, aren't you—" He snapped his fingers as if trying to place me. "You're that Mitchell girl's friend, right? The one who was at the wedding?"

The wedding. My wedding. The one where he had removed my veil and placed it on Amanda's head, declaring to our two hundred guests that he had chosen his pregnant secretary over his bride.

"You've got some nerve showing your face," Amanda hissed, her free hand moving protectively to her rounded stomach. "Trying to look like Victoria Sterling? Please. As if someone like you could pull that off."

I blinked, momentarily thrown. They thought I was impersonating myself—or rather, my new identity.

Ryan's smirk widened into something cruel. "Looking for a job? I heard you've been struggling since...well, you know." He glanced at Amanda with conspiratorial amusement. "We actually need a nanny for the baby. Someone with your...limited qualifications might fit the bill."

The old Sarah would have crumbled under the weight of this humiliation. She would have fled, tears streaming down her face. But I was no longer that woman.

Instead, I tilted my head slightly, a serene smile touching my lips. I thought of Alexander waiting for me at our penthouse, of the tiny life growing inside me that neither Ryan nor Amanda knew about, of the power that now flowed through my veins by virtue of my husband's name and my own reborn confidence.

"No, thank you," I said softly. "I'm quite content with my current position."

I turned away, leaving them staring after me in baffled humiliation, completely unaware of the storm that would soon engulf them.

I woke up with that familiar churning in my stomach, the third morning in a row. My inner wolf, Lily, stirred restlessly as I bolted to the bathroom, barely making it before emptying what little remained in my stomach from last night's dinner. '*This has to be it*,' I thought, pressing my palm against my still-flat abdomen. After three years as Ryan's Luna, the Moon Goddess had finally blessed us. I splashed cold water on my face and brushed my teeth, studying my reflection. My skin glowed despite the nausea, and my wolf seemed unusually protective, urging me to rest more, eat better. All the signs were there. "We need to be sure before we tell him," I whispered to Lily, who hummed in agreement. I padded back to our bedroom, noticing Ryan had left his laptop open on his desk. He'd rushed out before dawn for an emergency meeting with neighboring packs—at least that's what he'd said.

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.
Luna Walking Away: Defying the Alpha’s Cruelty
Luna Walking Away: Defying the Alpha’s Cruelty
"A toast," Eden declared as servants began distributing crystal glasses filled with deep red wine. "To new beginnings." My stomach clenched as a server approached me with a tray. I started to shake my head—everyone in the pack knew of my severe allergy to alcohol. It had been documented since I became Luna; Eden himself had always ensured non-alcoholic alternatives were available at every gathering. But before I could decline, Eden was suddenly before me, taking a glass from the tray himself. His eyes, once warm amber pools I could drown in, were now cold and distant as he extended the wine toward me. "Surely our former Luna will join us in celebrating this momentous occasion," he said, loud enough for nearby pack members to hear. His emphasis on "former" cut through me like a blade. "Eden," I whispered, my voice barely audible even to werewolf ears. "You know I can't—" "Drink," he commanded, his Alpha tone washing over me like a physical force. "Honor our new Luna. Your new Luna."
