Alpha Didn’t Know My Bloodline

In most stories, the rejected mate fades away in heartbreak while the Alpha pursues his "fated" destiny. I chose a different ending. For five years, I played the submissive Beta wife, building Dominic Kane’s empire from the shadows—training his enforcers, balancing his ledgers, and mending his wounds while he obsessed over a mistress who wasn't mine to compete with. He thought I was his greatest convenience; he didn’t realize I was actually the architect of his throne. When the time came, I didn't beg for his love. I waited for him to be too distracted by his "destiny" to read the fine print, tricked him into signing my freedom, and vanished into the night. Now, his pack is crumbling without its true Alpha, his fated bond has turned to ash, and I’m thriving in the elite art world of Europe, finally embracing the power I spent a lifetime hiding. Dominic is hunting for the wife he threw away, but he’s about to realize I wasn't the girl he left behind—I’m the woman who allowed him to exist, and I have no intention of letting him back in.
