Married My Ex's Uncle In My Second Time
"Lisa?" I croaked, barely able to form words, my voice hoarse and weak. My heart had leapt at the sight of her, a moment of hope flickering through the haze of fear. "What's going on? Why... why are you here?"
But the look in her eyes, the cold amusement that twisted her lips into a smirk, had stopped me short. It wasn’t concern.
“Why am I here?” she had repeated, laughing softly, as if the very question was absurd. “Oh, Anna, sweet, naive Anna. You still don’t get it, do you?”
I had stared, my mind unable to keep up, still too clouded with hunger and exhaustion. “What... what are you talking about?”
And then, her voice had changed, hardened.
“I’m the reason for all of this. The reason your father’s company collapsed, the reason your family is dead, the reason Josh betrayed you. Me.”
After discovering that her best friend, Lisa, isn't the person she thought she was and is the reason for most of the disasters in her life, Anna dies, only to wake up five years in the past. With a second chance, Anna is determined to protect her loved ones and take revenge for the pain Lisa caused.

Chapter: EpilogueFive Years Later – Anna’s POVThe sun dipped low on the horizon, spilling warm gold across the ocean as the waves lazily kissed the shore. The breeze was soft, salty, and carried the sound of distant laughter, the kind that comes only from those who know joy down to their bones.I sat on a beach lounger under a white linen canopy, my toes buried in the sand, a fruity drink melting beside me. My eyes drifted over the scene before me, my heart so full it could’ve burst.Alaric stood waist-deep in the water, strong arms outstretched as he hoisted a squealing little boy into the air, only to lower him gently back into the sea. Beside them, a tiny girl clung to Tristan’s neck like a koala, giggling as he spun her in the shallows.“Be gentle, Lyra!” Celeste called from the blanket where she sat, sunhat tilted to one side, her ever-present sass now softened by love. “Your uncle has a bad back, remember?”Tristan turned and narrowed his eyes at her dramatically. “I’m not that old, woman.”Cel

Chapter: Chapter 0138Lisa's screams echoed off the walls like the rantings of a woman already half-dead. Her eyes glinted with unhinged fury as she stormed around the abandoned warehouse. Then, in a move that made my blood run cold, she picked up what looked like part of a broken windshield from the floor."No!" I gasped.Without hesitation, she slammed it against the ground beside me.Glass exploded outward. Tiny shards tore into my exposed skin, my legs, my arms, hot lines of pain blooming everywhere. I flinched, heart hammering against my ribs. But I didn’t scream. I didn’t move too fast. Because in the chaos, a small, sharp shard had landed just within reach of my bound hands.I felt the breath catch in my throat.Carefully. Quietly. I twisted my body to the side and inched my fingers toward it, ignoring the sting of fresh cuts on my skin. My hand trembled as I gripped the jagged piece, then began to saw at the thick rope binding my wrists. One strand. Then another.Almost there.Then… silence.I froz

Chapter: Chapter 0137Anna – POVThe cold hit me first.A cold, damp chill that bit into my skin and wrapped itself around my bones. Then the pain came.My head throbbed, rhythmic like someone hammering from the inside. My wrists burned as it was bound too tightly behind me, and the rope scraped my skin with every panicked breath I took.The scent was next. Mold. Dust. Faintly familiar.No… no. No no no.I opened my eyes slowly, praying to see Alaric’s ceiling. Praying to wake up to the sound of his low voice calling me a sleepyhead as he kissed my forehead.But instead, I saw it.The same walls. The same cracked concrete floor. That same rusted water pipe dripping steadily from the corner.My heart stopped.I knew this place.It was the place.The place I had woken up in before my first death. Before everything reset. The place where my life had ended in pain.Terror curled in my stomach like ice water.Was it all a dream?Alaric?My family?The charity ball, the proposal, the wedding dress fitting just y

Chapter: Chapter 0136Only three more days.Three more days and I’d be Anna Sinclair, Mrs Alaric Sinclair. Even just thinking about it sent a shiver of disbelief through me. How had we come so far?Wedding planning was… a beast. A beast dressed in silk and glitter and back-to-back meetings. But with Ellie, Mom, and a surprisingly enthusiastic Alaric’s mother on my team, it hadn’t been too overwhelming. Besides, I was marrying the love of my life. Every stress melted under the weight of that simple fact.Tonight was just for us.No stylists. No photographers. No planners. Just me and Alaric, sharing a quiet dinner like we used to while we were still fake dating.I smiled to myself as I slowed to a red light. The memory of my final wedding dress fitting still floated in my mind like a dream.It was perfect.The way the fabric hugged my figure, the way the veil shimmered softly behind me… The look on Ellie’s face when she saw me in it said everything. I couldn’t wait for Alaric to see me in it. To see the way

Chapter: Chapter 0135I woke up to the soft kiss of morning light on my face and the warm weight of blankets cocooning me in comfort. But none of that compared to the real warmth beside me.Alaric.His face was turned toward me, lips parted just slightly in sleep, chest rising and falling in a slow, peaceful rhythm. Even disheveled from sleep, he looked like something pulled from a fever dream, hair tousled, stubble along his jaw, and that damn infuriatingly perfect bone structure.How did I get so lucky?And then everything I’d said last night hit me.My throat tightened.What had I done?I had basically confessed to being a reincarnated time traveller that die in another life. And instead of just easing him into it, like a sane person would, I dumped the entire tragic, supernatural mess in his lap… in bed… after an emotional night.God. What was wrong with me?What if he thought I was unstable? Or worse… pitied me?I suddenly needed space. Just a little air. A few minutes alone to breathe, to think, to f

Chapter: Chapter 0134Alaric The party was over, but the warmth lingered. The city passed by in a blur outside the tinted windows of the car, all glittering lights and distant noise. But inside, everything was quiet, peaceful. Anna was curled up beside me, her head resting gently against my chest, her breath soft and even. I held her close. Her head was tucked against my chest like she belonged there, like she'd always been meant to fit into my life, into me. And she did belong there. The diamonds on her wrist caught the light now and then, but they were nothing compared to the spark she brings to my life just by being near. I looked down at her. Her lashes fluttered with each breath, her lips slightly parted in sleep. She looked so content, so safe. And all I could think was how close I had come to missing this. if I hadn't been attacked in the alley and been incapacitated, I wouldn't have been in this position right now. I remember thinking about how cute she looked, like a dear caught in h

Chapter: Chapter 08 The clothes fit perfectly. I tugged at the hem of the black, off-the-shoulder top and ran my hands down the dark jeans that hugged my hips like they were stitched with my measurements in mind. The fabric was soft but snug, sleek without being suffocating. I hated how good it looked. Across the room, Nova twirled in front of the mirror, her burgundy blouse catching the light with each spin, paired with slim-fit pants and ankle boots that gave her just enough edge to give anyone stupid a reminder not to mess with her. I tilted my head, reluctantly impressed they were casual while still giving the air of being fancy. "Okay," I muttered, inspecting my reflection, "I hate that they got the sizes right." Nova beamed. “Speak for yourself. I look hot.” I smirked, but my mind was already drifting. Because we didn’t look like prisoners anymore. Or fugitives. We looked… like two girls about to attend a fancy dinner. With three absurdly attractive alphas. I narrowed my eyes and

Chapter: Chapter 07It had been hours since we were locked in the room.We’d checked immediately, of course. Pushed on the windows, tested the hinges. Nothing worked. The windows didn’t budge, and the walls, smooth, thick, and pulsing faintly with magic, were definitely werewolf-proof.So yeah. We were stuck. No way out. No choice but to wait.And in that time, we’d tried to make use of what we had. A nap, first. Our bodies had practically demanded it, collapsing into the plush mattress like it was a gift from the Moon Goddess herself. I don’t even remember falling asleep, just the deep, aching pull of exhaustion and the sharp relief of real warmth for the first time in hours.The bathroom was next, gleaming, pristine, with a waterfall shower that poured hot water in endless supply. I must’ve stood under that stream for an hour, maybe longer, letting it wash away the blood, the dirt, the fear. Nova had hummed the entire time she was in there, and I didn’t even complain. I got it. This was the most peace

Chapter: Chapter 06GreysonI can’t believe this is happening. After years, literal, agonisingly soul-crushing years of searching for our mate, she just… waltzes into our home. Not for sanctuary, not with an offering or a message. No. She came to steal from us.And gods, she was beautiful.I can still see her wild green eyes, narrowed in defiance even while tied to a chair. That mane of flaming hair I already want to bury my hands in, twist it, tug it, feel her melt against me, while I......Fuck. I need to focus.She broke into our home, easily I might add, and almost ended Asher’s bloodline. Okay… that part was kind of funny. The way he doubled over when she kneed him? Priceless.But still, she was dangerous. Smart. And a threat to everything we’ve built.I draw boththe guys into my office; thankfully, it is on the other side of the house, far away from the soul-consuming scent that was still messing with my head. I shut the door behind us and let the heavy and uncertain silence settle.How the hell am

Chapter: Chapter 05The Price of SurvivalThe door slams shut behind them, and I hear their footsteps fade down the hall.My wolf howls in my mind, wild and desperate, mates, mates, mates—like she’s ready to tear through steel just to get to them. I grit my teeth and push her back, cutting off our connection. I need to think, actually think, without her primal urges screaming over every other emotion.For a moment, there’s silence.Then Nova turns to me slowly, eyebrows nearly climbing off her forehead. “What the fuck just happened?” she says, voice pitched high like she’s glitching. “Did you just say…? Did they just…? Whaaaat?”If it weren’t for how serious our situation was, I’d have laughed at the look on her face—eyes wide, mouth slightly open, like she’d just watched a unicorn in spandex twerk before us.“They’re my mates,” I croak, voice thin and dry.And just like that, my thoughts explode.Oh my goddess, what are we going to do? We can’t stay here. My mates are so hot. It’s dangerous. So. Fucking

Chapter: Chapter 04Mate!!I didn’t have an answer to her question, but we didn’t have to wait long to find out.A loud slam echoes through the cells as the main door swings open, and four fierce-looking wolves step inside. Their expressions are unreadable, their movements efficient as they surround our cages.Before I can think to fight, the locks click open, and rough hands grab us, dragging us out of the cells and up the stairs.The shift from dark, damp confinement to the brightness of the main house is almost blinding; I must have been out for hours if it was this bright already.Now that I can fully see the house, I realize just how massive and elegant this place is. Polished floors gleam under the warm lighting, intricate carvings and heavy wooden accents adding a sense of old money.This wasn’t just a house. It was the home of someone obviously powerful.My stomach churns. What the hell have we gotten ourselves into?They lead us straight into the office. The same one I had stolen the papers from

Chapter: Chapter 03One Last Job"Are we really going to do this?" Nova asks, her voice low as we both stare at the monstrous house looming before us.I grind my teeth. This was supposed to be in and out. That absolute fucker. Silas made it sound so simple, but the kind of people who lived in a place like this? They weren’t just anyone.This job is bad. I know it in my gut.But I don’t have a choice.Tomorrow morning, we’re out of here. I’ll miss Deja Brew, miss the semi-normal life I managed to carve out, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.I glance down at the video feed on Nova’s laptop. She had hacked into their security system with ease, her fingers flying over the keyboard like it was child’s play."Looks like there are guards at every entrance," she mutters. "And cameras in every hallway. Whoever lives here is paranoid as hell."I exhale sharply.Silas knew exactly what he was throwing me into.And now, I have to figure out how to make it out alive.“I can avoid the guards just fine. You got
