Unwanted Vessel: The Secret of the White Wolf

"You were just the incubator, Alex. Iliana is their real mother."

With those words, Alpha Gavyn erased six years of my life.

I had raised his twins, sat up with them through fevers, and loved them as my own while he waited for his "true mate" to return.

But the moment Iliana came back, I became nothing more than a nuisance.

The betrayal didn't stop there.

My children, the ones who used to cling to my leg, looked at me with pure disgust.

"Ew," my daughter sneered. "Daddy says you're just a hairless weakling. Don't touch me!"

She shoved me down the stairs.

Gavyn didn't help me up. He stepped over my bleeding body to comfort Iliana because the smell of my blood "bothered" her.

He forced me to dive into a poisoned lake to retrieve a necklace Iliana threw away, just to humiliate me.

And when kidnappers held us both at gunpoint on a cliff, asking him to save one, he didn't hesitate.

"I choose Iliana," he said, turning his back on me. "You were just a substitute."

As I fell into the abyss, waiting for death, I felt a snap inside my chest.

Gavyn thought he was killing a latent human.

He had no idea that the fall would shatter the seal on my soul.

Mid-air, my bones didn't break—they reshaped.

A blinding white light exploded from my skin.

The Alpha didn't just discard a nanny.

He just unleashed the legendary White Wolf.

Chapter 1

Alex POV:

The air inside the Blood Moon Pack's Archives wasn't just cold; it was a physical weight, pressing against my lungs.

I stood before the high counter, clutching the application form for the twins' Coming of Age Fund. My hands wouldn't stop shaking.

"I'm sorry, Alex," the clerk said. She didn't look sorry. She was a Beta, and her eyes were glued to her screen, dismissing me before I'd even finished speaking. "You can't access these funds. Bylaws are strict. Only the biological mother or the Alpha can authorize withdrawals."

"But I am their mother," I whispered, the words scraping my throat. "I raised them. I fed them. I sat up with them every night when the fever took them."

The clerk finally looked up. Her lip curled. "Raising them makes you a glorified babysitter, Alex. Not a mother. The genetic markers are undeniable. The eggs were Iliana's. You were just... the incubator."

The incubator.

The word hung there, sucking the oxygen out of the room. I turned and walked away, my legs feeling like they didn't belong to me. I knew the truth—I always had—but hearing it weaponized by a stranger made it bleed.

I needed Gavyn. He was the Alpha. If he validated me, the Archives would fall in line.

I headed for the Alpha's office. My hearing was sharper than a normal human's, a secret I kept close, letting everyone believe I was just a Latent Wolf—a dud with no spirit.

As I neared the heavy oak door, voices
