Blurb：
**I spent a week booking a half-price couples’ train trip for our graduation—only for my boyfriend Chase to give our tickets to his “heartbroken” friend Anna.**
“Buy yourself a single ticket,” Chase said. “It’s only five or six hundred bucks.”
But before his scholarship—funded by my pack—that amount was his entire monthly allowance.
Fed up, I called my Alpha father: “Dad, I want to travel alone. Prepare the private jet.”
As Chase prioritizes Anna over me, I’ll show him what happens when the pack Alpha’s daughter stops hiding her power.

For our college graduation trip, I spent a whole week glued to various travel apps, finally snagging a half-price couples’ train package.
I was just about to share the good news with my boyfriend and call it a night when his message came through.
Anna’s going through a breakup. She needs to get away and clear her head. We’re gonna use those tickets.
“See if you can grab yourself another single ticket. It’s not that much anyway – like five or six hundred bucks.”
For a moment, I was speechless.
Before he received the scholarship my dads pack had specifically established for him, five or six hundred dollars used to be his entire monthly allowance.
After a moment of silence, I picked up my phone:
Dad, prepare a private jet for me. I want to take a trip alone before graduation.
Chapter 1
For our college graduation trip, I spent a whole week glued to various travel apps, finally snagging a half-price couples’ train package.
The payment confirmation popped up on my phone screen, and I let out a long breath of relief.
I was just about to share the good news with my boyfriend and call it a night when his message came through.
“Anna’s going through a breakup. She needs to get away and clear her head. We’re gonna use those tickets.”
“See if you can grab yourself a single ticket. It’s not that much anyway – like five or six hundred bucks.”
I stared at the travel app showing my modified booking order.
For a moment, I was speechless.
Before he received the scholarship my family’s pack had specifically established for him, five or six hundred dollars used to be his entire monthly allowance.
When he first started college, he couldn’t even afford a fifty-dollar pair of shoes.
How could he have the nerve to say something like that?
After a moment of silence, I picked up my phone:
“Dad, does our pack have any tourism businesses?”
My father was so stunned by this question that he didn’t speak for several seconds.
My father was the Alpha of the most powerful pack in the entire Northern Territory.
But except for things related to my boyfriend Chase, I have never spent a penny carelessly and never asked the family for special privileges.
“We do, sweetheart. Dad just opened a travel company.”
My father knew me well. He understood I wasn’t the type to cause trouble without reason.
I knew him just as well. I knew our pack couldn’t care less about the measly profits from tourism – we didn’t have a travel company. But he’d register one the moment I hung up.
For once, I didn’t stop him:
“Before graduation, I want to take a trip.”
“Of course, leave everything to Dad. I’ll arrange the guides, private jets, hotels, activities – everything. I’ll make sure you have the time of your life.”
I hummed in agreement and hung up.
The phone barely had time to rest before it started ringing again, urgent and shrill.
It was Chase.
“Quinn, what’s your deal? Now you’re ignoring my messages too?”
His voice dripped with aggression and accusation, like a lion whose territory had been challenged.
“I ask you to buy one extra ticket and this is how you react? You’re that stingy about a few hundred bucks?”
I gripped the phone, my knuckles white, fingers trembling with rage:
“That was a couples’ package I fought for an entire week to get. Did you even think about how I’d feel?”
“I had my reasons.”
Chase launched into his self-righteous lecture:
“When I was up for that scholarship, Anna helped me out. Without her, I never would’ve gotten it. She’s heartbroken and needs support and comfort.”
“How can you be so insensitive? Don’t you get basic human decency?”
She helped you? What about me?
I pulled three all-nighters organizing your application materials.
I swallowed those words.
“Chase, this is our graduation trip – just the two of us. I saved up for half a month to afford this ticket.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I wanted to create something beautiful and unforgettable in our youth, and you’re dragging a stranger into it. What’s that supposed to mean…”
“What’s that supposed to mean!”
Chase’s voice cut right through mine.
“Money, money, money. That’s all you ever think about.”
“Don’t you understand gratitude? She’s all alone here, no family or friends, dumped by some jerk, and she needs a little comfort. You won’t even do this small thing?”
“Gratitude? What are you planning to repay me with for everything I’ve given you?”
My heart turned to ice as I whispered those words, barely audible.
“Hello? Quinn, don’t play dumb with me. Speak up! Is buying one train ticket gonna kill you or what?”
“I skipped dinner for half a month to afford this ticket, and you just casually give away my hard work?”
“It’s just one ticket. You’re being way too dramatic.”
Chase’s tone was completely dismissive.
“Besides, nobody forced you to skip dinner. You chose not to eat dinner – whose fault is that? When did you become such a drama queen?”
Hearing his words, I couldn’t help but laugh.
Me, a drama queen?
After everything I’d sacrificed for him, not even getting a thank you – just being told I’d become “such a drama queen”?
He had no idea that just moments ago, with one sentence from me, this world had gained a new competitor powerful enough to bankrupt countless travel companies.
I used to want to keep this as a surprise, to reveal my true identity before we got officially mated.
Now, I didn’t want to say anything.
I wanted to see just how far he and that attention-seeking “pick-me girl” could push things!
During my silence, Chase seemed to think I was feeling guilty. His tone softened, turning persuasive.
Chapter 2
“Look, maybe I messed up, okay? When we get back from the trip, I’ll take you out for a nice dinner. That should make up for it, right?”
“Just try to snag another ticket. Anna and I will wait for you at the gate.”
His tone was so patronizing, like he was doing me some huge favor by throwing me a bone.
“No need.” The words came out ice-cold.
Chase didn’t get it at first, barely keeping his temper in check.
“No need for what? I’ve explained everything to you – why are you still being such a brat about this?”
“Do I need to tear into you before you’ll listen?”
His anger didn’t spark anything in me. I felt completely numb inside.
“Take the tickets and go. Don’t wait for me. Hope you two have a blast.”
“Quinn, what the hell is your problem?”
Chase’s voice got even sharper.
“This whole trip was your idea, and now you’re bailing? Are you screwing with me? Stop acting like a spoiled princess. You came from nothing – stop being such a pain in the ass!”
Ha!
I couldn’t help but snort inwardly.
If I came from nothing, then there are barely any rich people left in this world.
I pushed down the bitter laugh and tried to keep my voice steady:
“I’m not bailing. I mean I’ll figure out my own way there. Might not be on the same train as you guys. You and Anna just go ahead and have fun – I’ll probably get there later than you.”
Seeing me cave and say exactly what he wanted to hear, Chase was satisfied.
“Now that’s my girl.”
“You know, you’re way too stubborn. Nobody else would put up with your attitude but me.”
“Alright, I gotta help Anna pack. You better get on booking that ticket.”
“Mm.”
I couldn’t bring myself to say another word – just made some emotionless sound through my nose.
After hanging up, I couldn’t help thinking about how things used to be.
He wasn’t always like this.
I first met Chase when I was eight years old.
Back then, Mom and Dad were busy building our pack. Every day they were either dealing with border wars against rogue wolves or expanding our pack’s business ventures in the human world.
My parents thought it was too dangerous for me to stay at the pack compound, so they sent me to live with my grandparents in a remote rural area. I only got to see Mom and Dad once a year, at Christmas.
The other kids said I was some abandoned kid with no parents. They wouldn’t play with me.
Not only that, but they formed their little cliques at school, excluded me, bullied me.
I remember this one time, some older girls cornered me in the bathroom demanding money.
I didn’t have any, so they wouldn’t let me leave.
Chase suddenly showed up, shoved the bullies away, and saved me.
That was the first time we met.
From then on, we became best friends, playing together every day.
He was the one bright spot in my dark childhood, bringing me the only joy and warmth I knew.
Later, Mom and Dad’s pack became the strongest and wealthiest in the entire Northern Territory. The companies they’ve established in the human world span multiple industries.
I moved back to continue school at the pack territory, forcing me and Chase apart.
But I never forgot about Chase.
I kept asking my parents to secretly help his family, to help him.
With our family’s hidden support, Chase went from elementary school in the countryside, to middle school in town, to high school in the city.
When he finally transferred to the big city where I was, I excitedly asked Dad for my first real favor – to transfer to Chase’s school and class.
When I got my wish and tried to greet him, barely containing my excitement, he acted like he didn’t know me.
He’d forgotten me.
I didn’t give up.
If he’d forgotten, then we’d start over.
A few months later, I confessed to him first, and we naturally became a couple.
We’ve been stumbling along together ever since.
But what I never expected was this:
Chase hadn’t just forgotten me – he’d changed completely.
These past few years, I’ve been hiding my identity, wanting to struggle alongside him, to grow together.
Dad couldn’t talk me out of it. When he couldn’t stand watching anymore, he donated fifty million to the school.
He specifically created a scholarship program for the two of us, hoping our lives would improve.
But still.
Chase changed.
Completely and utterly changed.
He was no longer the light that brought me warmth and joy.
He hurt me over and over again, bringing me nothing but pain.
The more I loved him, the less he valued me.
It wasn’t until now that I finally woke up completely and saw everything clearly.
Chapter 3
With Dad handling all the travel arrangements, I didn’t need to worry about anything.
I’d just laid down to get some rest when my phone started buzzing again.
Chase.
Looking at his name on the screen, I raised an eyebrow, hit accept, and put the phone to my ear.
I didn’t say a word.
“Quinn.”
His voice had none of the irritation and arrogance from before.
“Did you get the ticket?”
“You just hung up. I haven’t even finished reading the travel package details and you’re already calling back.”
I threw that little jab at him without much feeling.
“Oh, right, no worries, no rush.” He laughed it off and kept talking.
“I mean, it’s peak travel season. Tickets are hard to come by. Just keep looking and don’t stress yourself out.”
Chase never comforted me without an ulterior motive.
I knew he was about to hit me with some outrageous request.
In the past, I would’ve gotten angry at demands like this, argued with him, and eventually given in under his pressure.
But now I felt absolutely nothing.
I stayed quiet, waiting for what came next.
“Actually, there’s one more thing.”
“I remember you snagged a discount voucher for that photography studio, right?”
“After we get back from the trip, Anna wants to do a photo shoot. Could you let her use it and just grab another one for yourself?”
“Getting one ticket or two – it’s all the same, right? Besides, you’ve got nothing else going on. Think of it as keeping yourself busy.”
I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
That voucher was for a wedding photography session.
I’d been planning to use it with Chase after graduation – stepping from college straight into marriage.
He’d been so righteous about it back then.
“We’re still young. We should focus on our careers. Once we have money, we can have the good life. No point wasting cash on superficial stuff like that.”
I’d been stupid enough to believe him.
Turns out he was saving it for Anna, that manipulative little snake.
Anna wasn’t just stealing my tickets – she was stealing my man.
Though honestly, who’d even want a guy like that anymore?
Now that I was thinking straight, I felt completely calm.
A man like this wasn’t worth my love – hell, he wasn’t worth anyone’s love.
My brief silence made Chase think I was upset and unwilling.
“You spend all day cooped up in your dorm anyway, not studying, just scrolling on your phone. You’re turning into a total waste of space. Getting tickets would be good mental and physical exercise for you.”
“Anna’s going through a rough time and needs looking after. This would help her feel better faster. Don’t you think?”
Disgusting.
Every word out of Chase’s mouth made me sick.
How could anyone be so shameless?
I agreed coldly:
“Fine. I’ll send you the voucher.”
In Chase’s mind, I’d caved and submitted once again. His tone got cheerful.
“Now that’s more like it. Admitting when you’re wrong – that’s my good girlfriend.”
“Check if there are any paid add-ons with that voucher. Don’t want them hitting us with extra charges when we get there. That’d be a real buzzkill.”
“If you can snag another one, I’ll do a shoot with you sometime.”
He talked about taking photos with me like he was doing me some huge favor.
“Sure.” My voice was ice-cold.
“Gotta go. Anna’s calling me.”
He hung up in a rush, like he had something incredibly urgent to attend to.
Chapter 4
Over the next few days, Chase called me one more time.
Under the guise of checking if I’d managed to snag a ticket, he wanted me to help him and Anna buy discounted movie tickets.
I really wanted to ask him – what am I, some kind of desperate bargain hunter glued to discount apps all day?
But I held back.
I turned him down, saying I was broke.
Meanwhile, Anna posted something on Facebook.
The photo showed her in a sparkly white wedding dress, holding a bouquet, looking up at the sky – exactly the kind of shot I’d once wanted to take with Chase.
The caption read: “Craving love like a starving person craves bread; longing to be loved like someone freezing longs to be wrapped in warmth.”
Chase’s comment below practically burned my eyes: “I’ll always love you like a starving man loves bread.”
I clicked on his profile with zero expression and blocked both of them.
Those cheesy lines were things I’d once said to Chase.
The day before the trip, someone knocked on my dorm door.
I opened it to find the two people I least wanted to see – Chase and Anna.
Anna flashed the most fake, over-the-top smile.
“Quinn! Chase and I came to check on you.”
Chase just pushed past me and barged into my room.
His eyes swept every corner of the dorm, and his expression darkened.
“What do you want?”
I regretted staying up too late last night. I’d been groggy when I woke up and didn’t react fast enough to stop him.
“We’re leaving tomorrow. You’re always forgetting things, so Anna was worried. We came to check on you.”
Chase examined every inch of my dorm room.
“Did you get a ticket? Plane or train?”
“Yeah, yeah!”
Anna sidled up to me with fake concern, trying to link arms with me. I stepped aside to avoid her.
She didn’t seem embarrassed at all:
“Did you get a plane ticket or train ticket? What time? If we’re leaving around the same time, we could share a ride to the station.”
Watching their phony act, I lost all desire to keep playing along.
I didn’t say a word, just shook my head coldly.
“Oh no!” Anna looked concerned but was clearly enjoying this.
“You didn’t get one? What are we gonna do? You won’t be able to come with us.”
Chase’s face turned ugly as he snapped at me:
“Quinn, I told you to get a damn ticket! What the hell have you been doing? Throwing another one of your little princess tantrums?”
Anna quickly stepped in to restrain Chase.
“Chase, don’t talk to Quinn like that. I’m sure she has her reasons. It’s just too bad she won’t be able to make this trip.”
I watched their little performance, laughing bitterly inside.
“Don’t worry about me. I’ll get there. I have my own way.”
“You? What way could you possibly have?”
Chapter 5
Chase was getting seriously impatient, glaring at me with pure venom.
“Every time shit hits the fan, this is what you do. You throw your little princess fit, ignore the actual problem, then dump all the blame on me.”
“Well guess what? I’m done babying you. That’s not my job anymore.”
“Do whatever the hell you want!”
“Chase, don’t say that. Quinn’s a girl, you know.”
Anna grabbed Chase’s arm and pulled out her phone, tapping a few times.
My phone pinged with a notification.
Anna put on this sickeningly sweet voice:
“Quinn, honey, this is a ticket I bought. I was gonna go there by myself, but Chase insisted I come with him instead.”
“If you really wanna get out and have nowhere else to go, maybe check this place out.”
I glanced at my phone.
It was some tourist spot in New York state.
Calling it a tourist spot was generous – more like a glorified park with a couple small hills and a man-made waterfall.
Admission was a only three bucks.
“No thanks.”
I turned them both down coldly, with just a hint of a smile.
“I’m going on this trip, and I’m gonna have a blast. Probably better than whatever you two end up with.”
Chase let out this bitter laugh.
“Stubborn as hell.”
He grabbed Anna’s hand and headed for the door.
“Do whatever you want. Live or die, that’s on you. Don’t come crying to me about it.”
The next day was gorgeous – clear skies, perfect weather.
I didn’t pack much, just threw a small bag over my shoulder with makeup, sunscreen, and my phone.
My luggage and clothes had already been packed by the omega servants and shipped ahead to the five-star luxury hotel Dad had booked for me.
If I forgot anything, I could always buy it when I got there.
Walking toward the campus gate, I ran smack into those two.
“Quinn, you’re actually going somewhere?”
Anna sidled up to me, looking me up and down:
“You didn’t bring any luggage. How are you planning to travel?”
“Wait…” She gasped dramatically, covering her mouth. “You’re not planning to shift and run there yourself, are you?”
“You’re not exactly built like a warrior. How could you possibly run that far? It’d take like fifteen hours. You’d never make it.”
Chase crossed his arms and turned away in disgust.
“Even warriors don’t run that far. Fifteen hours of running – you’d be covered in sweat and stink. Absolutely gross.”
“Quinn, if you’re planning to shift and run there, don’t tell anyone you know me. That’s embarrassing as hell.”
That bitter smile crept back onto my face.
When Chase first came to New York for school, his parents couldn’t afford train tickets. They had to shift and run the whole way.
Twenty hours on the road, completely exhausted.
Finally some convenience store clerk took pity on them, gave them free food and a place to crash for the night.
In just a few years, he’d turned into this kind of person.
I swallowed the sarcastic comment that was about to spill out.
I knew Chase was a hypocritical, arrogant guy with an incredibly fragile ego.
If I called him out in public like this, he’d fly into a rage and probably get physical with me.
I couldn’t put myself in that position.
Anna kept going:
“You know what, Quinn? Maybe you should just skip it. Go to that place I told you about instead.”
“There’s hardly anyone there, and it’s close by. You could walk there in two hours.”
“No need. I can get there just fine on my own.” I let out a cold laugh.
“Quit being ridiculous.” Chase’s tone was patronizing, like he was doing me a favor.
“Get there how? What’s your brilliant plan?”
“What, you gonna charter a private jet or something?”
His voice was dripping with contempt and condescension.
But I surprised him by nodding seriously.
“Yep. Private jet.”
Both of them froze.
It took several seconds for it to sink in.
Chase exploded:
“Quinn, you think we’re idiots or something?”
“If you’re gonna take the train, just take the damn train. Why say stupid shit that only a three-year-old would come up with?”
“You’ve probably never even been in first class on a train, let alone a plane. What’s next, gonna tell us your family owns an airline?”
As far as I knew, our pack’s business empire in the human world did include aviation.
I looked calmly at Chase’s twisted, furious face, feeling completely satisfied.
Even if I told them the truth, they’d never believe it.
I couldn’t wait to see their faces when they found out.
Anna grabbed Chase’s arm with that soft, sweet voice, perfectly playing the manipulative innocent:
“Chase, don’t get so worked up. Quinn’s only saying this because we pushed her too far. If it wasn’t for me, she wouldn’t have to embarrass herself like this in public.”
Chase was disgusted:
“Embarrassing herself? That’s her own damn fault!”
“Acting like a princess when she’s got nothing. Talking about private jets – what other ridiculous shit won’t she say?”
Their angry and gleeful faces danced in front of me.
I checked the time. Dad’s car would be here soon. I didn’t want to waste any more time explaining to these two.
“Truth is truth and lies are lies. You’ll see for yourselves soon enough.”
I walked straight toward the campus gate.
A sleek black stretch Rolls-Royce had just pulled up.
Before it even stopped, a young man in a sharp suit, glasses, and tie jumped out of the passenger seat.
He hurried over, looking flustered.
“Your Highness, I’m Alpha’s new assistant. Just call me Jason.”
Assistant Jason bowed as he followed behind me.
“I’m handling your entire itinerary. There’s also a female assistant who went ahead to set up your hotel suite.”
“The jet’s ready to go whenever you are.”
“Sorry this was so last minute – we couldn’t prepare everything perfectly. Please forgive us, Your Highness.”
