Chapter 1

My husband Leon is the Alpha heir of Stonehowl Pack.

While I was in labor, he was on a private island with his mistress Aisling.

On the third day, he finally came home to see the baby.

"The kid's pretty tough. By the way, I heard you were in so much pain during delivery you almost had a miscarriage?"

"That's because Aisling and I specifically chose the time you were giving birth to have sex."

I stared at him in disbelief as he continued.

"Don't be mad. The baby was born healthy, wasn't he? Aisling won't change the fact that you're my wife."

Watching his retreating figure, I didn't cry or make a scene.

I'd already received fifty-two million dollars in compensation.

I could divorce him with peace of mind now.

Leon pushed his phone toward me with a restrained smile.

The photo on the screen captured my shocked expression from moments ago when I'd heard how he nearly caused my miscarriage during delivery.

My swollen eyes and sallow face were magnified countless times in the landscape orientation.

I instinctively reached to grab his phone and delete the photo.

He easily dodged away.

"I finally got that candid shot. I told her I'd capture your expression when you heard this news."

"She's been sulking for three days since you gave birth to a son and won't let me touch her. No choice but to use you to cheer her up."

His smug expression was like a knife slowly stripping away my dignity.

He talked about his affair so casually, like he was planning what to eat tomorrow. Like he'd never loved me at all.

Leon and I were fated mates. We fell for each other at first sight and quickly fell in love.

On our wedding day, he told all the guests he would only love me for the rest of his life.

Until Aisling became his new secretary. Then he became madly infatuated with her and began betraying me again and again.

The man who said he'd only love me for life ultimately broke his vows.

A chime sounded. His special notification tone.

Aisling saw me and looked horrified.

"Why does Clara look so awful? Women really do get ugly after having babies. I never want to have children!"

"I'm ordering you to always use protection with me from now on! I refuse to let my body go to hell and look all haggard!"

His eyes crinkled with amusement. Gone was the anger he'd shown the first time he heard Aisling taunt that I was too plain to deserve him.

"Of course. Clara's job is having babies. As my mistress, you just need to keep me satisfied."

"Not mad anymore, right? Practice that position from last time more. In a bit, wash up and put on that transparent lingerie and wait for me!"

The voice message ended.

He turned off his phone, savoring the moment.

Seeing my reddening eyes, he chuckled and pinched my cheek.

"It is a bit loose. All right, it's not the first time you've heard me flirt with her. Why be upset? She's just a diversion. Once the novelty wears off, I'll replace her. We have a child now. No one can shake your position. Look on the bright side."

With that, he put his hands in his pockets and left casually.

He made it sound easy, but over these two years, his "novelty" never seemed to run out.

The position no one could shake was an identity anyone could provoke.

Ten minutes later, my phone showed a charge notification from the pharmacy.

The purchased items were three boxes of strawberry-flavored ultra-thin condoms.

Immediately after, he sent me a message.

"The pharmacy account is almost empty. We've been using a lot of condoms lately. Remember to add more funds."

Looking at this nearly provocative message.

I no longer felt the anger and impulse that made me storm his affair scene with righteous fury the first time I received a contraceptive purchase notification.

I simply ordered five more boxes to Aisling's address.

Half an hour later, my account received two million dollars as a "reward."

The total was now exactly fifty-two million.

I calmly took a screenshot of the transfer records and sent it to Leon's father, Alpha James.

"That's enough money. Please process my divorce and find a witch to break the mate bond between Leon and me."
