Chapter 4

Penulis: Snail
At dusk, I arrived alone at the observatory and found the best spot to watch the meteor shower, feeling a hint of anticipation in my heart. I didn't know how long I'd been waiting when my phone rang.

I answered happily, only to be met with Raven's furious accusations.

"What did you say to my parents? Why did Lyra run out of the pack crying after taking their call? You're truly evil, just like Lyra said you were! Now she's missing—are you happy now?"

If Raven had been merely dissatisfied with me before, speaking with a sharp edge, now I could feel it—he truly hated me.

I was shocked. After all, this didn't happen until a month later.

Back then, Lyra had also run away from the pack and encountered Rogues at the forest's edge. By the time Raven found her, she was already under attack and being dragged away.

Without hesitation, I rushed to the place where the incident had happened in my previous life. I had been wondering how to fulfill Raven's third regret, and now I finally had the chance.

As soon as I reached the forest's edge, I spotted Lyra standing alone. However, she didn't even look surprised to see me, and this set me on edge.

She looked at me and suddenly smiled. "The day after tomorrow is Raven's marking ceremony. His parents chose me to be his partner. Does that hurt, Allie?"

Suddenly, she moved, appearing right in front of me in a flash, and plunged a silver dagger deep into my abdomen. I groaned, grabbing her hand as my eyes locked onto hers.

Lyra hissed, "Do you know how hard I worked to make Raven fall for me? And those two old fools still tried to ruin everything! I told Raven his parents were manipulating him, pushing you into his life to control him. If it weren't for that, he would've been mine already. I won't let that happen!"

She twisted the blade inside me, slow and cruel. "I told him you were evil. If he sees you hurting me with his own eyes, do you think he'll ever forgive you?"

Then, she yanked the knife out and shoved it into my hand before slashing herself across the side with it. She screamed, "Allie, don't kill me!"

Lyra collapsed to the ground just as Raven appeared. He rushed over and kicked me hard in my chest. Then he scooped her into his arms, glaring at me with bloodshot eyes.

He shouted, "Allie! You really are the monster she said you were! If anything happens to Lyra, I swear I'll never forgive you!"

He left me there without another word, vanishing with Lyra in his arms. I crumpled to the ground, writhing in agony. The silver was poisoning my wolf, leaving me completely powerless.

In the quiet forest, I suddenly heard a rustling sound. I struggled to lift my head and saw a pack of vicious Rogues surrounding me, watching with predatory eyes.

Meanwhile, Raven had carried Lyra to the healer's lodge, personally staying while her wounds were cleaned and wrapped. Only after she drifted off to sleep did he finally think of me.

Feeling a bit guilty that his kick had been too hard, Raven wondered if I was hurt. So, he texted me,

Raven: "I was a bit rough earlier, but you shouldn't have hurt Lyra. She has nothing to do with our issues."

Raven: "I didn't keep my promise to watch the meteor shower with you last night. After the marking ceremony, I'll make time to travel with you."

But for an entire day, he did not receive a response from me. He felt somewhat uneasy, but the thought of seeing me at tomorrow's marking ceremony helped calm him down.

The next day, at the marking ceremony, Raven was stunned to see Lyra standing on the stage in a wedding dress. She walked down smiling and took his hand.

She said sweetly, "Your parents have accepted me. They agreed to let me be your mate. Are you happy?"

However, Raven's uneasiness grew stronger. He asked softly, "Where's Allie?"

Feeling irritated, he pulled his hand away from Lyra's and took out his phone to call me. Just then, his subordinate, Darren Meyer, rushed in.

He reported, "Raven, something terrible happened! There was a big fire in the forest last night, and Allie was burned to death inside!"

    It took a long while before Raven finally spoke again, his face pale and defeated as he let out a bitter laugh. "All this time, I thought you were the one who stabbed Lyra. Turns out, she was the one who harmed you terribly and made me blame you, hurt you, and leave you in that dangerous forest. Allie, I was such an idiot."He reached out and clutched the hem of my sweater, his grip tight and trembling. "Allie, I was wrong—really, truly wrong. I deserve everything that's happened, but I love you. Please... just give me a chance to make it up to you. I swear, I'll spend the rest of my life treating you right. Please believe me."Raven said he would protect me, and I believed that. In my memory, he had protected me twice. He had always been a good brother to me. I looked at him and gently shook my head. "Raven, I've already forgiven you. You are a good person, but... I don't love you. I only see you as a brother, and I'm already in love with someone else."Raven stared at me in disb

    Two years later, Mom insisted that I come home to celebrate her birthday. As it happened, I had just wrapped up a major project, so I happily agreed to her request. Returning to the Silvermoon pack stirred up a sense of familiarity in me—warm and welcoming, yet tinged with a subtle ache. Nonetheless, that ache disappeared the moment I saw Dad and Mom again.At the mansion, they had already prepared a full table of food. The second she saw me, Mom's eyes filled with tears as she pulled me into a tight hug. "Allie, you finally came back to see us! Do you have any idea how much we've missed you?" Even Dad's stern face softened into a smile.I handed them some local specialties from the Northern Plains, and they gave me several pieces of jewelry in return. As Mom handed me more clothes, she said, "A girl should always look her best. Don't be stingy with yourself. If your clothes get old, I'll sew you new ones."As I tried on the outfits, Mom shared plenty of gossip. She told me Lyr

    The day Raven abandoned me in the forest, I pushed through the pain and ran for my life, barely escaping the Rogues surrounding me. In the end, I had no choice but to set the forest on fire just to drive them away.I recognized those Rogues as those who had taken Lyra in my previous life, but I never expected they actually knew her. It turned out that the entire tragedy that happened in my past life had been orchestrated by Lyra herself, just to make Raven regret marrying me and live in guilt for the rest of his life.While Raven was tormented by remorse, Lyra seized the chance to leave the Silvermoon pack and continue her life as someone else's mistress in another pack. After learning the truth, I didn't plan to change anything. I simply made a call to my mentor, Oscar Walsman, and asked him to send someone to pick me up.There was less than a day left before I'd be pulled back by the time machine, taking with me all the memories from ten years in the future. But once the course of

    Raven felt his heart tighten as he realized Delilah was right—all of these accusations had come from Lyra. Still, he stubbornly insisted, "But I saw Allie hurt Lyra with my own eyes, more than once. Once, at the mansion, I personally witnessed her pushing Lyra down the stairs from the second floor!"Delilah smirked. "Have you ever checked the security footage to see what actually happened?"She waved her hand, directing someone to bring up the surveillance video from that day. The footage clearly showed Lyra blocking my path at the top of the second-floor stairs, her face showing a malice Raven had never seen before.Lyra sneered. "So what if Raven's parents like you? I tell Raven every day how those old fools pressure him, and how shameless you are, trying to be his mate at any cost!"She continued, "Raven only loves me and believes every word I say. I'll tell him you're evil and make sure he sees it with his own eyes. Do you really think he'll still mark you after that?"As soon

    "What did you just say?" Raven roared in disbelief. His heart felt like it had been struck by a sledgehammer, sending sharp pain through his chest.He forced himself to stay calm and headed straight to the doors. But just two steps in, his legs gave out beneath him, and he nearly collapsed. Darren rushed forward to hold him up. "Where is she now? I need to see her," Raven demanded. "Raven, wait! Our ceremony is about to begin!" Lyra called out, lifting the hem of her gown as she hurried after him, her face filled with panic."I'm cancelling the marking ceremony!" Raven coldly, without so much as a glance back. And with that, he followed Darren out of the hall. Darren hurriedly led Raven to the healer's lodge, and the latter violently pushed open the cabin door."Wait, Raven, you can't go in yet." Several female healers tried to block him, but he pushed them aside.With trembling hands, he lifted the white cloth covering the face of the body, then froze. He mumbled, "This...
