ADRIAN'S POVThe headache started on my way home.At first, it was a dull ache behind my eyes. I blamed the long hours at the hospital and the pressure of reviewing the unusual respiratory cases. By the time I reached my apartment, however, the pain had sharpened enough to make me stop in the hallway.I shut the door and loosened my collar."Brilliant. Just what I need."I hadn't slept properly in days, and the hospital's growing workload wasn't helping. Still, something about this headache felt different.It wasn't simply pain.It came with flashes of images I couldn't explain.A woman's voice calling my name from a hospital bed. I pressed my fingers against my temples, trying to make sense of it.The images disappeared as quickly as they came.I stood still for a moment before dismissing them as the product of exhaustion. Then I headed for the bathroom, hoping a cold shower would help.The moment I looked into the mirror, another wave of pain struck.I gripped the edge of the sink.

EVELYN'S POV Dr. Bennett was standing beside his desk when I entered.He gestured toward the chair opposite him."Please sit, Dr. Evelyn."I sat.He turned his computer screen toward me.The video was paused on a frame showing Vanessa pointing accusingly in my direction."I assume you've seen this.""Yes, sir.""She claims you stole her research. You've also made public statements about a potential preventive treatment for an emerging respiratory illness. Now people are questioning whether your work is legitimate."I kept my expression neutral."My research is documented, and I've made it clear that our findings are preliminary. I haven't claimed to possess a proven treatment.""That isn't the issue I'm asking about."I waited.Dr. Bennett folded his arms."Has Dr. Cole ever had access to your research?"The question caught me off guard, although I quickly recovered."She had access to some preliminary discussions about my work in the past. However, the research records establish the

EVELYN'S POVThe emergency department was unusually crowded when Adrian and I arrived.Nurses moved between beds, doctors reviewed patient charts, and the sound of monitors filled the air. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary afternoon in a busy hospital.Then I noticed the patients gathered behind a temporary partition.Four people. Different ages, different backgrounds, but all presenting with similar respiratory symptoms.My heart began to race."Where are their records?" I asked a nurse hurrying past us."On the station, Doctor. Dr. Hayes has already been informed."Adrian stepped forward. "I'm here. Tell me what's happened."The nurse led us toward the nearest bed."The first patient arrived about three hours ago with a high fever and persistent cough. Two more came in shortly afterward. The fourth arrived less than an hour ago.""Are they connected?" I asked."Not that we've established. One patient recently returned from overseas, but the others haven't reported any comm

EVELYN'S POV "Doctor Evelyn, you stole my formula!"Vanessa's accusation rang through the parking lot.I turned sharply, finding her standing several feet away, her face twisted with indignation. Before I could respond, reporters emerged from every direction, cameras flashing as they crowded around us.What the hell was this?"Dr. Evelyn, is it true you stole Vanessa Cole's research?""Are you claiming to have discovered a preventive treatment using her formula?""Why did you announce your findings after Vanessa's breakthrough?"Questions came so quickly that I could barely distinguish one from another.Beside me, Adrian stepped forward."Everyone, please calm down. You're making accusations without—""Let them ask their questions," I interrupted.He glanced at me, surprised.I wasn't going to run from this.Vanessa had clearly planned this confrontation. She had waited until my interview attracted attention, then chosen a public place where her accusation would spread before I could

EVELYN’S POV“You believe this virus could become a global emergency within two months?”Dr. Adrian Hayes stared at me across the conference table, concern and disbelief written across his face.“I believe the risk is significant enough that we shouldn’t wait until it’s too late to prepare,” I replied. “If we’re wrong, we’ll have spent time investigating an emerging illness. If we’re right and do nothing, thousands of lives could be lost.”Adrian leaned back in his chair. “That’s a fair argument, but we still need evidence before the hospital will commit resources.”“I know. That’s why I want to present our preliminary findings to the research committee. We don’t need to claim we’ve solved anything. We need to show them why this deserves further investigation.”“And if they refuse?”“Then we find another way.”He studied me for a moment before smiling faintly.“You’ve changed, Evelyn. You used to worry so much about whether people would take your ideas seriously.”“I’ve realised that

EVELYN'S POVAfter messaging the lawyer I had contacted the previous night, I spent the morning organising my research notes and reviewing the information Adrian and I had discussed. There was still much to investigate, and the Medical Evolution System had made it clear that time was not on my side.There was one last thing I needed, and it was back at the apartment. I stood up, grabbed my keys and I left. By the time I arrived, I noticed the place was empty and Daniel wasn't home. I've never been more grateful, ever. I dropped my bag onto the sofa and glanced around the living room. I had once imagined building a future here with Daniel, but those dreams meant nothing to me anymore.I was about to undress when I heard voices approaching from the hallway.“She actually wants a divorce?” Vanessa asked, amusement evident in her voice.“Apparently. She's been acting strangely since yesterday.”“Maybe she's finally realised you deserve better.”I looked toward the doorway just as they w

Kelvin “Get that fucking investigated!” I yelled, banging my fist on my desk. For the second time this week, our warehouse had been attacked, many of our wolves were injured and my goods lost. I grabbed Jay by his collar and pulled him close. “I do not like your incompetence these days, Jay! You're lacking out” I reminded him. “Alpha, we've lost power these days. Most of our elders who are our supporters have withdrawn their help, some even threatened to crown a new Alpha” he explained to me. I let go of him immediately. I knew where all of this was leading. I didn't have Luna yet. As a lycan, after an Alpha, a Luna is next then an heir. But I had none. Two years ago after I was crowned, Faye was nominated as the chosen lycan Luna of the pack but I never accepted her. She wasn't my mate and I wasn't attracted to her. We were childhood friends and she understands me better. I wasn't going to make her my Luna, but she stands in for now till I find my mate. I stood there in my of

LilyAfter yelling at me just to tell me he was my mate, I watch Kelvin grab my face in his palm, slowly caressing it. I didn't realize he'd care this much about me, or was it just because of the fact that I was his mate.“You do not know how long I've waited for this moment, for the moment I'd find my mate!” He said.I stared at his once cold eyes which now turned calm. He really was into me. But I couldn't understand, he was my nemesis, he hated me and wanted to kill me.“We can't accept this bond, Kelvin. You're the lycan King. My clan doesn't relate with yours. We do not go together, this is forbidden!” I declared but his grip on my chin tightened and his glare intensified.I didn't expect him to lean closer and kiss me. Kelvin wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me closer as he kissed me. My body turned cold asap and I felt the need to pee. It was more like I wanted him to bend me over and fuck me, which is weird because we aren't supposed to be doing this.The kissing didn't

LILY Kelvin and I locked eyes with each other, I can tell he felt the bond, or maybe not. He gazed away from me and continued with the wine in his hands. Soon, a blonde haired woman walked out of the blue, she hugged him tightly and clinged to him.“Kelvin, I've missed you” she said, the romantic moment went on and I just stared, pissed off and hurt. We were mates, this never should've happened. Now he's here, kissing some random woman and my chest hurts from seeing it.This was nothing but an obstruction to my plans. I needed an alliance not a lover. Kelvin gave me one last glance before he left with Blondie. They seemed close, I guess they were lovers.In my last life I can recall Kelvin having a childhood friend who was very close to him. I heard she committed suicide on the same day I had him executed. I feel sorry for doing that, if I wasn't deceived by Darius, I guess they both would've ended with a good fate. It's been a few minutes since they both left and I just stay there

Lily's POV.The feeling to kill him now grew stronger than ever as I paced my room while Kelvin made himself comfortable on my bed but I was way too pissed to even care. "You can't kill me yet." I told Kelvin who was still pointing the dagger at me again."And why not? I don't care about your revenge, I am here to get mine." He smirked and I sighed."How about we work together then?" I suggested and he looked like he was thinking it through."How?" "Help me crush your brother and my half-sister and I promise to let you kill me without a second thought afterwards." I answered and he got up from the bed, moving closer to me."Nice but what benefits do I gain?" He asked and I frowned, lost."Benefits?""Yes. You see, you are telling me to postpone my revenge plan for your sake so there has to be some benefits for my waiting." He explained."What do you want?" I went straight to the point and the side of his lips curled."You and this pack." He responded and my heart skipped a beat."Wh

Lily's pov.I turned to see Alpha Kelvin, the Lycan king of Howl pack walking towards my mum and I, with his hands folded behind his back.Unconsciously, I shifted closer to my mum as my heart raced heavily against my chest. The familiar smirk that had always irritated me because I felt he was mocking me, was dancing on his lips."It has been such a long time, hasn't it?" He commented and I froze.Long time? What long time? According to my previous life, we still saw yesterday night unless.....I stifffened as the thought ran through my mind.Could he have also been reborn for revenge? But that was impossible right?"Oh Alpha Kelvin, I am so sorry I wasn't around to welcome you, yesterday." My mum said as she smiled at him.Wait! Was he referring to her?I would have felt relieved if I didn't miss the deadly glint I caught in his icy, blue eyes. He seemed to be discussing with my mom, but his gaze was all over me.The guilt pinged my heart harder as my palms grew sweaty so I hurriedl

Lily's pov.I collapsed on the floor, my head pounding as blood gushed out of it, soiling the white rug."Oh, moongoddess! What have you done?" Darius half-yelled, and as my eyes struggled to close, I saw Lila covering his mouth with her hands."Shush! It was either this or we are doomed." Lila whispered, and I dug my nails into the rug, trying to get up, but the pain that shot through me was beyond what words could explain."W-what do we do with the b-body?" Darius stuttered, surprising me. I had hope he would help, but he just left me lying there."Burn it, of course, or do you want to get charged as an accessory to murder?" Lila asked and I could feel my heart skipping a beat in fear.'Burn what? Oh no!'."Then let's do it fast. I can still hear her slight breathing. Finish the job." My husband's words to my step-sister sliced through me like a blade. Hot tears stung my eyes but I was too weak to blink them back. I let them roll as Lila came towards me, grabbed my head, and smashe
