Alpha’s Five-Year Caged Lie

Ava’s world shatters when she overhears the Alpha she’s loved for five years admit his crippled act was a cruel ruse to punish her. For 98 rain-drenched days, Ethan faked agony with wolfsbane, letting her believe he needed her—all to avenge a childhood illness that “cost” him his Luna.

“99 times, then it ends,” he cold-bloodedly tells his Beta, unaware she’s eavesdropping.

Her heart breaks further as she plays along, forced to watch him flirt with Lila, a fake healer brought in to replace her.
