Just because his first love's younger brother accidentally fell into Shadow River, my Alpha mate, Ethan Horn, forced me, the only Spirit Soother of our pack, to go and rescue him. When I sank to the bottom of the river, I chose not to save him. When the man was pulled out of the river, the healer lamented, "If it were a few minutes earlier, Leo might have been saved. What a pity." Ethan's first love, Serafina Pike, had her wolf soul shut off and soon passed away because she missed her younger brother, Leo Pike. From that moment on, Ethan, who had once loved me, hated me to the core. Without giving me a chance to explain, he slit my throat with a silver blade and ruthlessly sealed my wolf soul. Later, he believed the heresy of the witch about soul sacrifice and nailed me and our young daughter in coffins before burying us alive by Shadow River as sacrifices to resurrect his beloved Serafina. In the end, the woman he deeply loved did not come back to life, and my daughter and I died with endless resentment. When I reopened my eyes, I had returned to the night when Ethan forced me to jump into the river to save Leo. I tied up the specially made rope and asked him for the last time, "Are you really sure that you can bear the consequences after I rescue him?"
View MoreIt was recorded in the ancient scroll that there was only one way to crack this life-exchange formation. That was to swap the identities of the caster and the victim and restart the formation. Only in this way could the formation be completely broken. However, the price was that both participants had to die.In other words, even if Ethan had not killed Leo, he would not survive tonight.Ethan looked at me in terror and asked in disbelief, "So, you knew from the very beginning that I would die?"I shrugged my shoulders. "Yeah. You've hurt me for so long. Why should I still save you?"Ethan laughed out of extreme agony. "Then, why did you still agree to marry me?"I picked up the mate bond agreement and shook it. "For this, of course. Only when I'm your legitimate Luna again can everything the Glory Pack owns belong to me and Lily."Ethan knew he was dying, so he stopped being furious. Instead, he calmly asked, "Clara, I know you're not someone who craves wealth and power. Why are
This time, the Moon Goddess probably took pity on my misfortune and did not make things difficult for me again. She might also be disgusted with Ethan's current state, so she refused to take him in.In short, I pulled him out smoothly.…The next day, Serafina came to the door with the pack's warriors.Ethan had regained his youth overnight, which made her understand everything at once.She wanted to stop us before Leo's and Ethan's identities were completely reversed. Fortunately, I was well-prepared.The elders in the village rushed forward immediately, subduing them and imprisoning them in the cellar. They cried for help, but no one responded.Ethan regained his appearance and identity, taking control of the Glory Pack again. However, he was smarter this time. The first thing he did was to beat Leo and Serafina to death with a wooden stick soaked in wolf venom.Even so, he was still not at ease. He invited another dark wizard to dismember their corpses into eight pieces, pla
Three days later, I left with Lily and Alva while Ethan was kicked out of the manor.The world knew nothing about this. All that they knew was that the Alpha of the Glory Pack had argued with the Luna, and she had gone back to her hometown.Ethan became Leo, a loser whom everyone detested. The debt collectors chased him and even broke his legs.However, I still went to see him for the last time and gave him some money.His dim eyes suddenly lit up again as he gripped my leg, refusing to let go. “Clara, you remember me, don't you?”Without hiding anything from him, I nodded and answered, "Yes. Apart from Leo and Serafina, who performed the formation, perhaps only I still remember you."Ethan smiled. "I knew you wouldn't forget me. My mother used to say that true love could overcome all magic. It's true!"I sneered, "Don't get me wrong. This has nothing to do with love."I waved my injured left hand and explained, "I remember you because my blood seeped into the formation that da
Early the next morning, the commotion outside woke up Lily and me.I asked Alva, who had just come in with water, what had happened.She snorted disdainfully. "Luna, Leo has lost his mind. He's telling everyone he meets that he's the Alpha. The Alpha is handsome and powerful. How could an ugly bastard like him pretend to be him?I immediately realized what had happened. I told Alva to take good care of Lily and went out alone.A disheveled Ethan saw me and rushed in front of me as if he had grasped a lifeline. He shook my shoulders nonstop. "Clara, has everyone in the manor been bribed by Leo? Why do they call him Alpha but call me Mr. Leo?"I pushed him away and calmly explained, "This is the reality I said you'd have to face. Leo has swapped fates with you. From now on, he's Alpha Ethan of the Glory Pack. Whether it's pack members, outsiders, or even Lily, they won't recognize you anymore. You're Leo to them."Ethan did not believe me and eagerly grabbed a passing servant, tryi
I smiled and asked Serafina, "I promised you that I would never interfere in your affairs. But I'm indeed a bit curious. If you don't mind, can I have a look?"Serafina nodded. "Once this formation is activated, there's no turning back. Even if Ethan knows the truth, it'll still be too late to change the situation. Besides, as a woman, I actually feel sorry for you. You should explain to him and let him know what's going on."I arrived at the room he was in.Ethan lay on the cold ground. No servant dared to approach him.After I approached, Serafina dismissed everyone and gave us some space to be alone.Although I had heard of dark magic like life exchange, this was the first time I had witnessed it with my own eyes. I thought that I could remain calm in the face of anything after seeing so much about life and death. I never expected Ethan's current appearance to make me shiver involuntarily.He lay on his side on the ground, his body curled up into a ball. His jet-black hair had
Serafina was a little hesitant. "How do I know you won't play tricks behind my back?"I chuckled bitterly. "You saw with your own eyes how Ethan treats me and Lily. Serafina, would you stay by his side if you were me?"Serafina recalled Ethan's indifference and nodded. "Alright, I'll trust you this time. As long as you don't sabotage our plan, I promise to let you and your daughter go without stopping you."In fact, Leo was not Serafina's younger brother at all. He was the new mate she found after she left Ethan. Leo's fall into the river was not an accident either. Instead, it was a carefully planned transaction with the Moon Goddess.Ancient scrolls recorded that Shadow River was the only communication channel between werewolves and the Moon Goddess. The river water was the medium that could convey the werewolves' sacrifices to the Moon Goddess, so the ritual had to be carried out in the water. In my previous life, I found a sacrificial altar set up at the bottom of the river w
