Cara’s POV 

Cara! You get back-” 

I didn’t wait for Arthur to finish. I ended the call with a resolute tap and dropped my phone onto the couch with more force than necessary

Across the room in her cityview apartment, my best friend Cathy exploded into laughter

doubling over and nearly spilling the mimosa she had been nursing all morning

HAHAHA! That was epic! You totally roasted him! Alpha Arthur probably just blew

gasketbet his fancy wolf tail is standing on end like a bottlebrush!” 

I couldn’t help but crack a tired smile. He probably broke something expensive. Again.” 

You should’ve seen your faceso cool, so done! I love it. Finally, you’re waking up, babe.” 

She twirled dramatically in her silk robe, like a proud stage mom. He deserved that and 

more.” 

I sighed, sinking deeper into her plush lavender couch, my fingers twisting in the soft knit 

throw. Three years ago, Lucy ran off to the human world the minute Arthur fell into

coma. Not a word. And now? He wakes up and suddenly she’s back, purring and clinging to him like nothing happened.” 

Cathy rolled her eyes and flopped beside me. Oh please. Don’t even get me started on Lucy

I heard she tried seducing some human billionaire while she was abroad. He wasn’t 

interestedguess even billionaires can spot a gold digger from a mile away.” 

I let out a soft chuckle, but it quickly faded. And Arthurhe didn’t even hesitate. The moment he opened his eyes, he asked for her. Not me. Not the person who sat beside him every single day for three years, who fed him, bathed him, talked to him even when he 

couldn’t answer.” 

He’s an idiot,Cathy said flatly, her hand tightening around mine. A beautiful, emotionally stunted idiot.”

He’s her mate,I said softly. She’s in his blood. No matter what I do, that bond will always pull him back to her.” 

Cathy scowled. Yeah, well, screw fate.” 

I gave a bitter smile. He never loved me. Not really. I was justconvenient. The loyal, selfless little fool who stayed behind.” 

But you two had history,she said, her voice rising. He looked for you when you were 

kids. You even-” 

He forgot.My voice cracked, and I forced myself to swallow it down. I don’t think I ever existed in his heart. It was always Lucy. I was just a placeholder.” 

Silence hung heavy in the room for a moment

Enough of this,Cathy suddenly declared, standing up with dramatic flair and yanking me to my feet, Cara, the goddess doesn’t take without giving back. She closed one window? So what? She’s throwing open a gilded double door. And tonight, you are walking through it in heels and glitter!” 

I blinked. What are you talking about-?” 

I’m throwing you a singleladiesblowout party. And not just any partyeight male strippers, themed cocktails, glowinthedark body paint-” 

I groaned, laughing despite myself as I rubbed my temples. Please tell me you’re joking.” 

Do I look like I’m joking?Cathy grinned, then leaned in and plucked the blackrimmed glasses from my nose before I could stop her. She turned andwith shocking speedtossed 

them into the trash can near the kitchen

My glasses!I cried, taking a step toward the bin

Nope,she said, holding out a hand like a traffic officer. You’ve had those things since freshman year. You hide behind them. Time to stop. It’s a new era.” 

But I need them to seé.”

You need to be seen. You’re stunning, Cara. You’ve just been stuck playing the wrong rolefrumpy academic when you could be leadinglady knockout. Think Lucy, but smarter and actually kind. No more black clothes either. You’re single now. Time to glow.” 

Her words stirred something in mesomething raw and long buried. My parents used to call Lucy the swan, and me the ugly duckling. I had laughed it off, but the label stuck. Maybe even Arthur saw me that way: small, quiet, plain

Cathy tugged me toward the door with new fire in her eyes. We’re going shopping. Hair, nails, clothesspa day, full transformation. I want Arthur and every other wolf in this city to see what he let go.” 

She paused as we reached the threshold. WaitCara. About the divorceyou’re really not taking any of Arthur’s money?” 

I hesitated. I don’t want anything from him.” 

But he gave you that card, right?” 

Arthur had always been extravagant when it came to gifts. During one of his more lucid 

moments, he’d handed me a black card embossed in gold foil and told me to get something 

nice.I never used it. Never even touched it

I pulled it out of my purse and stared at it for a second. Then I smiled, a little wickedly. Well, today? He can pay for my revenge glowup.” 

ThirdPerson POV 

Night fell

The Moonlit Forest Bar came alive under a canopy of starlight and artificial moonbeams. Hidden deep within the werewolf territories, it was the most exclusive den of indulgence in the packsworld. Each booth was velvet and shadow, every glass filled with liquid starlight

The music throbbed like a heartbeatwild and relentless

In the most coveted private booth, Arthur sat at the center, his presence radiating command. He wore a black buttondown shirt, sleeves casually rolled to his elbows, revealing tanned forearms marked by years of training and a diamondstudded watch worth more than a city. Every inch of him screamed alphamagnetic, cold, beautiful

Chapter

Female wolves in the crowd couldn’t stop glancing toward him, whispering behind perfectly 

manicured claws

Beside him, AndyAlpha of Blizzard Packleaned back with a drink in hand, laughing like he didn’t have a care in the world. The other seats were filled by Alphas, beta nobles, and a few royal heirs, all soaking in the luxury like they’d been born into it. Because they had

Wait, waithold up,Andy said, his voice rising over the music. You’re telling me Cara wants a divorce?” 

Arthur didn’t reply

Andy’s laugh boomed. You’re kidding! Everyone knows that girl’s obsessed with you. She was practically your shadow for three years. You were in a coma and she still married you.” 

Another alpha snorted. Bet she can’t go a day without checking your messages. What’s the overunder? Two days before she begs to come back?” 

I’m betting she doesn’t even last tonight,one of the princes said, tossing back a shot. Ten minutes from now she’ll be sending you weepy texts.” 

Arthur’s jaw was tight, his drink untouched. His eyes glinted, unreadable

He took out his phone and opened Cara’s chat

Last night’s message greeted him: a picture of calcium supplements, a reminder to take them, a gentle wish for him to come home early

Every message above ithers

Every single one

He had never replied

Not once

Tonight, the chat was empty

His chest ached in a way he didn’t understand

Ding

A message

Andy whooped. Told you! She cracked!” 

Ding. Ding. Ding

Several more followed, each rapid chime like a drumbeat of victory for the surrounding wolves

They cackled. Knew it. She’s desperate. Come on, open itlet’s see her grovel.” 

Arthur didn’t move at first

But thenhe tapped the screen

And froze

Author’s Words: let’s guess what Arthur saw? It couldn’t be a video of Cara getting intimate with 8 male strippers, could it? Get to the next chapter and find out what happens
