My life has been a tempest of shattered dreams. Once, I dared to imagine a perfect world: Alpha Sean's hands tangled in my hair, our daughter Ellie's laughter a melody, sunlight spilling through our cabin like liquid gold. But reality struck like a lightning bolt. Sean's indifference turned to ice; Claire's scheming slithered into our lives like a venomous snake. Then came the unthinkable—Ellie's light snuffed out by Claire's cruelty, her last breath a whisper I'll hear until I die. That day, the naive she-wolf died with her dream to see her father. Through it all, Ellie's smile haunts me, to burn the world down if I must, to make them pay. For her. Always for her.
