The Placeholder Luna's Multi-Million Dollar Rejection

About this story

Synopsis

When the raging fire devoured my childhood home, I was trapped on the second floor with no way out. Desperate, I used our primal mind-link to beg my Alpha husband, Kaelen, to save me. "I'm busy. Stop this pathetic bid for attention," he replied coldly. As the smoke scorched my lungs, I heard a delicate cough through the link before he severed it completely. It was Seraphina, the woman he truly wanted. Kaelen was too busy soothing her mild fever to care that his legal wife was burning alive. I had to shatter a window and jump from the roof, breaking my ankle on the hard ground just to survive. Lying crippled in the damp grass, I saw Seraphina's new post, leaning against my husband's chest. In the comments, his Beta and the entire pack praised her, mocking me as nothing but a "wolfless placeholder." For two years, I had erased my true self and given up my career to be his perfect, obedient Luna. Yet, my dying scream couldn't even compete with another woman's sneeze. The foolish love I held for him crumbled to ash in that very moment. I didn't cry, and I didn't beg him to come back. Instead, I wired twenty-two million dollars to his account, paying back every single cent he had ever spent on me. Then, I signed a Formal Rejection and had it delivered straight to his elite gala. It was time to resurrect my buried identity as Hollywood's top screenwriter, and live for myself.
