Asher Blackwood, Alpha heir to the Frostmoon Pack, had two mate candidates.
One was me. The other was Serena Walsh. We were both orphaned girls adopted by the former Alpha.
The year Asher officially became Alpha of Frostmoon Pack at twenty, Serena died tragically in a landslide. I became his Luna.
After our bond formed, my mate and I always respected each other. Our love seemed genuine.
For him and for Frostmoon Pack, I gave everything I had.
I even helped Asher develop Frostmoon Pack into one of the top five packs in the southern territories. Almost every pack member loved and supported me. I thought I'd live happily like this for the rest of my life.
But when Asher successfully won the Alpha King election, he publicly announced that the dead Serena was his true love. He declared he would only ever recognize Serena as his Luna. With one casual sentence, he handed decades of my devotion to a dead woman. He even wanted her to replace what should have been my position.
I was furious. I protested on the spot. I never expected he had already submitted a mate bond dissolution agreement to the Alpha Council. He wanted to banish me from the territory.
My three Alpha sons and even all my grandchildren agreed with Asher's decision.
The guard wolves forced wolfsbane down my throat. They abandoned me near a rogue wolf den. As the rogue wolves brutally tortured and devoured me, I prayed to the Moon Goddess for another chance.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day Asher chose his mate.
The former Alpha of Frostmoon Pack stood on the raised platform, his expression solemn.
"Asher, you're not young anymore. It's time to make a decision."
"Tell us, who do you want as your mate?"
The former Luna smiled warmly. "I bet our son will choose Aria. He's always liked following her around since childhood. Besides, Asher's wolf chose Aria."
Whether in fighting ability or bloodline, my wolf and I far surpassed Serena Walsh.
All the core members of Frostmoon Pack knew I had long been the designated future Luna candidate.
But in this life, Asher looked at me coldly.
In his eyes, I saw deep disgust and hatred.
I understood immediately. He had been reborn too.
Since your heart belongs to Serena Walsh.
Then I'll make it happen for both of you.
