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: Chapter 0132The ballroom at the Carlton Grand was the kind of place that made you forget where you came from.It was bathed in golden light, with chandeliers dripping crystals that cast soft sparkles on everything they touched. Orchids in white, pale lilac, and blush overflowed from massive glass vases. The centerpiece of the hall was a marble staircase wrapped in silk garlands and fairy lights, descending into a sea of people dressed in their finest. Music from a live string quartet danced softly in the air, setting a dreamy tone to the night.But nothing, not the flowers, the champagne, or the camera flashes, could drown out the pounding of my heart. Is this really necessary? Is there a window I could jump out from?“Ready?” Alaric asked, offering me his arm.I turned to him.He looked like a painting, a classic black tuxedo tailored to perfection, the tiniest hint of cologne that made my pulse skip, and a sapphire pocket square that matched my dress exactly. I had no idea how he always managed

Chapter: Chapter 0131Biological Mother - MotherAdoptive Mother - Mum-----------------The charity ball was only a few days away, and naturally, Mum, Ellie, and Mother declared it a fashion emergency. “We’re going to Lux,” Ellie had said with the kind of gleam in her eye that made me feel like I was about to walk into a makeover montage. “And no, you don’t get a say.”So, here I was, barefoot on a velvet pedestal in the middle of Lux’s elite fitting suite, trying on what had to be my hundredth dress. I was fairly certain I’d tried on every shade of gold known to man and possibly one that hadn't been invented yet.“Nope,” Ellie said for the eighth time in a row, waving her hand like a disapproving judge on a reality show. “Too much sparkle. You look like a sentient disco ball.”I groaned and flopped onto the chaise lounge dramatically. “I’m pretty sure I’ve aged ten years in this fitting room.”Mum chuckled. “Oh hush, you look beautiful in everything.”“Which would be helpful if we were shopping for every

Chapter: Chapter 0130As dessert was served—rich chocolate cake with a generous swirl of whipped cream—I leaned back in my seat, letting the warmth of the evening settle into my chest. The conversation had flowed so easily all night, filled with laughter and sharing memories.It still felt surreal—sitting here with my biological parents, with Damian and Ellie, like it was the most natural thing in the world. A week ago, they were strangers. Now? They were mine. And I was theirs.I was mid-bite when my mum set down her wine glass and tilted her head at me, her eyes shining with something suspiciously close to mischief.“So,” she said casually, though I wasn’t fooled for a second. “What about Alaric?”I blinked. “What about him?”Her grin only widened. “Are you two serious?”I nearly choked on my cake. “Mum!”She raised her hands in mock innocence. “What? I’ve always wanted the son of my best friend to marry into the family. I gave up hope, of course, but now…” She gave me the most satisfied smile I’d ever s

Chapter: Chapter 0129The office was quiet, the usual morning hum of keyboards and clinking mugs a strangely comforting background to the storm of thoughts in her head. She stared at her screen, a spreadsheet open but untouched, and found her eyes drifting to the photo frame next to her monitor. It was a picture of her and Brian at her last birthday, smiling in the kitchen with a cake that had sunk in the middle.They’d laughed so hard that night. That used to be her whole world—her job, Brian, the quiet comfort of routine.Brian had missed the whole thing as he was away on a business trip in Singapore, but the moment he found out, he called her. She’d barely gotten two words in before he started gushing, saying he always knew she was special, that it all somehow made sense now. His voice cracked when he told her how proud he was, how happy he was that she’d found where she belonged. “You’ve always had a big family, Anna,” he said gently. “We were just waiting for the rest of them to find you.”And then th

Chapter: Chapter 0128Mr. and Mrs. Ashford, my biological parents, step forward. I see the uncertainty in their eyes, like they’re holding their breath. I swallow and look at them, still overwhelmed, still unsure."I know this is a lot," Mrs. Ashford begins gently. "And we’re not trying to take anything from you. We’re just… so grateful to have found you again. We lost you once. We don’t want to lose you again."Mr. Ashford clears his throat, his voice gruff but steady. "We never stopped looking. When the adoption records were sealed and the orphanage shut down… we thought—"He doesn’t finish, but I see it in his eyes. They thought I was gone. And somehow, through a mess of fate and timing, I still ended up in their lives."You don’t have to decide anything now," Mrs. Ashford says, stepping closer. "But if you’re okay with it, we’d like to be part of your life again. And… we’d like you to call us Mum and Dad. If you’re ready. When you’re ready."The words settle over me like a warm, heavy blanket. Familiar

Chapter: Chapter 0127After I’ve washed my face and curled up again beside Alaric on his stupidly comfortable couch, I shoot my mum a text with shaking fingers.Me: Hey, I’m staying at Alaric’s tonight. I just need a bit of time. I’ll come back tomorrow.The reply comes almost immediately.Mum: Okay, sweetheart. Take all the time you need. The Ashfords are staying over too—if that’s okay with you?I stare at the message for a second before typing.Me: That’s okay. Tell them goodnight for me.Mum: We love you. Sleep well.I exhale a breath I didn’t realize I was holding and tuck my phone away. Alaric shifts beside me, his arm still around my shoulders like he’s trying to hold the pieces of me together.“Will you stay with me?” I ask quietly, my voice barely more than a whisper.He looks down at me like it’s the easiest question in the world. “Always.”I don’t say anything after that, just press my face into his chest and let his heartbeat lull me into something that feels like peace. Right before I drift of

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 them both 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 silence settle, heavy and uncertain.How the hell am I

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.

Chapter: Chapter 02Ghosts of the PastThe sharp ping of my phone jolts me awake.I blink, disoriented, my body protesting as I sit up. Shit. I must have dozed off waiting for Nova. According to the time, I was only out for a few minutes.Another ping. A message.I grab my phone, expecting some excuse about why she’s late. Instead, my stomach drops.It’s a picture. But it was sent from her phone.Nova—bound, unconscious—her head tilted at an unnatural angle. The background is dark, but I could still make out the background. I know exactly where she is. A place I swore I’d never return to.My hands shake as another message comes through.Come to the Hollow - SilasA curse slips from my lips as I shoot to my feet, shoving my discarded jacket on with frantic movements.

Chapter: Chapter 01ProlougeThe acrid stench of burning wood and blood filled Raine’s lungs as she stumbled through the ruins of her home. Smoke curled in thick tendrils, choking the night sky and her lungs, but she didn’t stop. She couldn’t.Her little sister’s tiny fingers were locked in a death grip around hers, sticky with sweat and soot. Raine barely felt it. Her entire body was numb, running on nothing but adrenaline and the desperate, bone-deep instinct to survive.Her mother had told her to run. So that was what she was going to do.She wasn’t going to think about the sickening crack that had echoed through the backyard when they snapped her father’s neck. She wasn’t going to think about the way her mother had screamed, her voice raw and broken, as they did the same to her other two mates.No. Fuck that.She clenched her jaw and kept moving, ignoring the sting in her eyes, whether from the smoke or the tears, she didn’t know. None of it mattered. Not the fire licking at the shattered remains of
