The Unwanted Omega's Rise From Ashes

As an Omega, finding out the powerful Alpha Ryker was my fated mate should have been a blessing. But he only loved my stepsister, Nora.

To protect her, he treated me like dirt. Yet, pressured by the pack Elders, he violently claimed me during my first heat, calling Nora's name the entire time.

When he saw the virgin blood on the sheets, he threw cash at my face and accused me of faking it with a cheap trick.

His mother forced me to drink wolfsbane tea and poured the burning poison over my skin just for breathing the same air as her son.

I gave up on the bond and traded my Luna title for a lowly archivist job just to survive. But Nora wouldn't even let me have that.

She cornered me in the basement, slashed her own arm to the bone with a silver blade, and screamed for help.

Ryker burst in, his eyes blazing with murderous rage as he held her bleeding body.

"I will hate you until the day I die."

He swore the Alpha vow, the psychic curse tearing my soul apart. He didn't ask for the truth. He just condemned me.

My heart shattered under the weight of his absolute, venomous disgust, but the tears wouldn't come.

I calmly picked up my employment paper from the blood-stained floor.

I didn't want his love anymore. This time, I was going to live for myself.
