My husband, Ryan, poisoned me on our fifth wedding anniversary. I watched him smile as he handed me the champagne glass. "To us, Elara. To forever." I drank every last drop. Twenty minutes later, I was seizing on the kitchen floor, foam bubbling from my lips. Ryan stepped over my convulsing body and made a phone call. "It's done. She's almost gone." The voice on the other end—I'd know it anywhere. It was my sister, Maren. "Good. Make sure you clean up properly this time. I'll be there in an hour. I want to wear her Cartier ring tonight." Ryan laughed softly. "You can wear whatever you want, baby. This house is ours now." As my vision went black, I heard one final thing. The sound of my three-year-old daughter, Nola, crying upstairs. And neither of them went to her. When I opened my eyes again, I was sitting at my own anniversary dinner. The champagne glass was in front of me—full, untouched. Ryan sat across from me, smiling that same smile. "To us, Elara. To forever." My hands were trembling. I was back. The night I died. The exact moment. Every nerve in my body screamed. I looked at the golden liquid in the glass, and I looked at Ryan's handsome, lying face. In my previous life, I had been the perfect wife. I gave up my career for him. I raised Nola alone while he "worked late." I ignored every red flag because I loved him. And he killed me for my money, my house, and my sister. Not this time. I picked up the glass and slowly poured the champagne onto the white tablecloth. Ryan's smile froze. "Elara? What are you—" "I'm not thirsty." His eyes flickered—Loss of control. I saw it. That micro-expression of panic I'd missed a thousand times before. "Don't be silly. I made this special for tonight." He pushed the glass back toward me. "Drink it." "I said no." I stood up, and my chair scraped loudly against the floor. Ryan stood too, blocking my path. His 6'2 frame towered over me. "Sit down, Elara." His voice dropped. The mask slipped, just for a second. "You're embarrassing yourself." In my last life, that tone would have made me sit. I would have apologized. I would have drunk the champagne. I would have died. But I'd already died once. I leaned in close, so close I could smell Maren's perfume still lingering on his collar. "Touch me," I whispered, "and I'll scream so loud every neighbor on this street calls 911." His jaw tightened. I grabbed my phone and my car keys from the counter and headed straight upstairs. Nola was in her crib, wide awake, her big eyes staring up at me. I scooped her into my arms, grabbing her diaper bag. Ryan appeared in the doorway. "Where do you think you're going with my daughter?" "She's MY daughter. And if you take one more step, I'll tell the police exactly what's in that champagne glass downstairs." The color drained from his face. I pushed past him, my heart hammering so hard I thought my ribs would crack. I strapped Nola into her car seat and started the engine. As I pulled out of the driveway, my phone lit up. A text from Maren. "Is it done yet? I'm already trying on her dress. It fits perfectly 😊" My blood turned to ice. Then another text came through. "Oh, and tell Ryan I moved the life insurance documents to the safe. We should file the claim by Monday." I stared at the messages, my grip white-knuckled on the steering wheel. They had planned everything. My death. The insurance. Even what Maren would wear to my funeral. I screenshot both messages. Then I drove into the night, my daughter sleeping peacefully behind me. They thought I was dead. They had no idea I was just getting started.

The doctor said my daughter had seventy-two hours. Seventy-two hours to find a matching bone marrow donor, or Lily would die. I called my husband, Ethan, forty-seven times. Forty-seven. He declined every single one. So I did what any desperate mother would do—I drove to his office at midnight, barefoot, still wearing the hospital gown they'd given me when I collapsed in the ICU hallway. His secretary tried to stop me. "Mrs. Cross, he's in a meeting—" I shoved past her and threw open the door. There was Ethan. Not in a meeting. Not busy. Not saving the world. He was feeding my twin sister, Serena, strawberries dipped in chocolate. She sat on his desk, legs crossed, wearing a dress that cost more than Lily's last surgery. They both looked up at me like I was a stray dog who'd wandered into a five-star restaurant. "Blair, what the hell?" Ethan wiped his fingers on a napkin, annoyed. "I told Linda no interruptions." "Our daughter is dying." I said it plainly. No tears. No drama. I was past that. Ethan sighed—actually sighed—and leaned back in his chair. "What is it this time? Another fever? Another stomach ache you want to turn into a crisis?" "Bone marrow failure. She needs a transplant within seventy-two hours or she's gone, Ethan. Gone. Do you understand that word?" Serena slid off the desk and looped her arm through Ethan's. "Sis, you always do this. Remember last month when you said she needed emergency surgery, and it turned out to be just a cold?" That was a lie. Lily had pneumonia. She was hospitalized for two weeks. But Ethan believed Serena. He always believed Serena. "I called you forty-seven times," I whispered. "And I declined forty-seven times because I knew it was another one of your stunts, Blair." He didn't even look guilty. "You use that kid like a weapon." A weapon. My five-year-old daughter, who could barely keep her eyes open, whose tiny body was more bruise than skin from all the needles—a weapon. "As her father, you're the most likely donor match. I need you to get tested." Ethan laughed. Not a chuckle. A full laugh, like I'd told a joke at a dinner party. "We've been over this. I'm not convinced she's even mine." The room spun. I grabbed the doorframe. "She has your eyes, Ethan. Your dimple. Your blood type." "Lots of people have brown eyes, Blair. That doesn't prove anything." Serena tilted her head, pouting with fake sympathy. "Sis, if you need a donor, why not ask the real father? I'm sure Trevor would help." Trevor. My childhood best friend. The man Ethan had been convinced I'd slept with since the day we got married. I hadn't. Not once. Not ever. But Serena had planted that seed years ago, and Ethan watered it every single day. I looked at my husband—this man I'd sacrificed everything for—and I felt something crack inside me. Not my heart. That broke a long time ago. This was something deeper. Something structural. "If Lily dies," I said slowly, "I will make sure the whole world knows you let it happen." Ethan's smirk vanished. For a split second, I saw fear flash in his eyes. But Serena squeezed his arm, and just like that, the wall went back up. "Don't threaten me, Blair. It's not attractive." I turned and walked out. Forty-seven calls. Not one answered. My daughter had seventy-two hours to live, and her father couldn't be bothered to pick up the phone. But someone else did. When I got back to the hospital, Trevor was already there, rolling up his sleeve for the blood test. "How did you know?" I whispered. He looked at me like the answer was obvious. "You called me once, Blair. Once is all it takes."

In my previous life, I donated a kidney to my husband's mistress. I didn't know she was his mistress. I thought she was his dying sister. My husband, Ethan Crawford, held my hands in the hospital and sobbed like a broken man. "Harper, she's the only family I have left. If she dies, I'll have nothing. Please. You're the only match." I loved him so much that I let them cut me open without a second thought. Three weeks after surgery, still bleeding through my stitches, I found them fucking in our bed. The woman wearing my kidney inside her body was riding my husband and moaning his name. I stood in the doorway, still holding the grocery bags, and my surgical wound split open. Blood soaked through my dress and dripped onto the hardwood floor. Neither of them noticed. I collapsed in the hallway. By the time the ambulance came, I'd lost too much blood. I died on the stretcher. The last thing I heard was Ethan telling the paramedic, "She's not my wife. I don't know her." He denied me while I was dying. At my funeral — which my parents paid for because Ethan refused — he showed up with her. Vivian Moore. His "sister." My kidney recipient. She wore white. She gave a speech about how I was "such a generous soul" and how she would "honor my sacrifice by living fully." She moved into my house that same week. Three months later, they were married. Vivian used my story to launch a charity foundation called "Harper's Gift." She became a social media darling — the brave transplant survivor who turned tragedy into purpose. She made millions off my kidney and my death. Ethan never spent a single day feeling guilty. In an interview, he said, "Harper was a good woman, but she was never my soulmate. Some people are meant to be stepping stones." I was his stepping stone. I was carved open, bled out, and erased so two monsters could build their fairy tale on my corpse. If I ever got a second chance, I would never give them a single drop of my blood. God heard me. I opened my eyes and found myself back in the hospital consultation room, three days before the surgery. The doctor was explaining the transplant risks. Ethan sat beside me, squeezing my hand with those lying eyes full of manufactured tears. "Harper, you don't have to do this if you're scared." In my previous life, I said, "I'm not scared. I'd do anything for your family." This time, I looked at him and smiled. "You're right. I don't have to do this." Ethan's face froze. "What?" "I said no. I'm not donating my kidney." The room went dead silent. Ethan's grip on my hand tightened to the point of pain. Behind his gentle eyes, I saw it — that flash of cold, calculating rage I'd been too blind to recognize before. "Harper, she'll die without it." "Then find another donor. I hear there's a waitlist." His jaw clenched so hard I could hear his teeth grinding. I pulled my hand free and stood up. The doctor looked between us awkwardly. "Mrs. Crawford, are you certain? The recipient's condition is—" "I'm certain. My body, my choice." I walked out of that room feeling something I hadn't felt in years. My own heartbeat. Strong. Mine. Behind me, I heard Ethan's phone buzz. I knew exactly who was calling. Vivian. The woman who would wear my organ like a trophy. Let's see how their little love story survives without my sacrifice. In my previous life, I gave everything and got a body bag. In this life, I would keep every piece of myself — and watch them destroy each other.

The pregnancy test was still warm in my hand when I heard them through the bedroom door. "She's just a surrogate, Marlee." My husband's voice—low, tender, the way he used to speak to me before our wedding became a transaction. "Once she delivers the heir, I'll file the annulment. You and I can finally stop pretending." "But she's so clingy, Dominic." A woman's laugh, soft and poisonous. "She actually thinks you love her." My fingers closed around the plastic stick so hard it cracked. Two pink lines. Positive. I'd been trying to tell him for three days. The door was slightly ajar. Through the gap, I could see them on our bed—our bed—Dominic's hand tangled in Marlee Ashford's copper hair, his lips brushing her temple with a gentleness that made my stomach heave. Not because of the morning sickness. Because he'd never once touched me like that. My wolf stirred inside me—weak, suppressed, barely a whisper. She'd been fading since the day I married Dominic Cross, Alpha of the Ironveil Pack, in a contract ceremony that smelled like old paper and obligation. No mating mark. No bond. Just a signature and a promise that I'd carry his bloodline heir in exchange for my dying mother's medical treatment. The treatment had been paid for. My mother had died anyway, three months ago. And now I was pregnant with his child, standing outside his bedroom, listening to him plan my disposal. I should have walked away. Should have gone downstairs, packed my bag, disappeared into the night like the nobody he'd always treated me as. That's what the old Ivy would have done—the orphan, the packless wolf, the girl who'd learned to survive by making herself small. Instead, I pushed the door open. Dominic's head snapped toward me. For one fraction of a second, something flickered across his face—guilt, maybe, or just annoyance at being caught. Then his expression hardened into the cold, aristocratic mask I knew so well. "Ivy." He didn't move away from Marlee. Didn't even have the decency to pretend. "How long have you been standing there?" "Long enough." My voice came out steadier than I expected. I held up the pregnancy test. "I came to tell you something." His eyes dropped to the test. I watched his pupils dilate—wolf instinct, recognizing his offspring before his human brain could process the information. "Is that—" "Positive." I set it on the dresser with a click. "Congratulations, Alpha Cross. Your contract is fulfilled." Marlee sat up in the bed, the sheet pooling around her waist, and I noticed she wasn't even trying to cover herself. She looked at me with an expression of such calculated pity that my wolf—dormant, dying, barely there—growled for the first time in months. "Oh, Ivy," Marlee sighed. "This must be so hard for you." "Get out," Dominic said to me. Not to her. To me. "We'll discuss this in the morning." "No." The word surprised all three of us. "We'll discuss it now. Specifically, we'll discuss paragraph fourteen of our contract—the clause that guarantees me full custody rights and a settlement upon confirmed pregnancy." Dominic's jaw tightened. "You're not in a position to make demands." "I'm in exactly that position." I pressed two fingers to my wrist—an old habit, counting my own pulse to stay grounded. "I'm carrying your heir. And according to Lycan contract law, that makes me the most powerful person in this room." The silence that followed was delicious. Then Marlee whispered something in Dominic's ear, and the look on his face changed to something that made my blood run cold. "Actually," he said slowly, "there's been an amendment to the contract." "What amendment?" He reached into the nightstand drawer and pulled out a document I'd never seen before. "The one," he said, "that removes your custody rights entirely."
