Se connecterCelestine Sterling thought she had everything—a loving family, a respected position as the heiress of the Sterling Pack, and a husband she had adored since childhood. Until she caught him in bed with her stepsister. Tyler Stone and Vanessa Ludwig had been carrying on a secret affair behind their spouses’ backs, believing no one would ever discover the truth. When Celestine threatens to expose them to the entire pack, the two people she trusted most choose the unthinkable. They kill her. But death is not the end. Celestine wakes up on the day of the Marriage Selection, six months before her murder. Armed with the memories of betrayal, heartbreak, and the blood they spilled, she refuses to die in their hands again. Instead of choosing the man she once loved, she shocks the entire pack by marrying the one person everyone fears—the mysterious half-blood who lives deep within the forbidden woods.

I simply stood there in silence, staring blankly into his warm amber eyes.There wasn't even the faintest trace of happiness on his face after learning I was his mate.How could I have missed something so obvious?Then again, I had been too busy rushing into his embrace, too consumed by my own excitement to notice the emptiness in his expression back then.“Wow,” Tyler said with a small chuckle, tilting his head as he caught me staring. “You weren't even sur
Celestine SterlingFrom what I remembered, the Montero Pack had always offered greater support to the Sterling Pack than the Stone Pack ever did.Back then, Dad only wanted to give me the greatest gift he believed a father could offer his daughter—the freedom to choose and marry the man I loved.However, if I looked at it from a political standpoint, the Montero Pack was undeniably the most influential among all the neighboring packs. Perhaps that was why, in my previous life, Dad had thought Vanessa would eventually find happiness in marrying Aeizor Montero.Unfortunately, that never happened.Aeizor Montero was known for being cold, distant, and completely indifferent toward other wolves. His overwhelming strength had earned him a terrifying reputation, and fear naturally followed wherever his name was spoken. Most wolves avoided him, and he seemed perfectly content with that isolation.It was one of the many reasons why he and Vanessa had never truly connected.If I wanted to sur
Celestine SterlingA shiver ran through my entire body. With growing disbelief, I slowly lifted my gaze and looked around the room.Everything was exactly the same as I remembered.The massive mahogany desk stood near the window, polished to perfection and illuminated by the soft afternoon light spilling through the curtains. Towering bookshelves lined the walls from floor to ceiling, packed with countless volumes my father had spent years collecting. The familiar scent of aged parchment, ink, and cedarwood lingered in the air, wrapping around me like a forgotten memory.The room felt so familiar that it made my chest ache.For a moment, I simply sat there in silence, staring at the surroundings I had once known so well, unable to tear my eyes away. Every object seemed frozen in time, untouched by the horrors I remembered.And somehow, that frightened me more than anything else.Because if this was truly my father's study, and if I was truly alive, then there was only one question le
Celestine SterlingIt’s his birthday today.I told Tyler that I had to spend the day handling matters between the Stone and Sterling Packs, making up excuse after excuse until he finally believed me. Every word that left my mouth was a lie, but it was a lie I gladly told because I wanted to surprise him.A quiet giggle escaped my lips as I carefully carried the cake box toward our house, my heart fluttering with excitement at the thought of seeing the look on his face.The real reason I had come up with that excuse was so I could secretly bake his birthday cake in the kitchen of Sterling's main house. Dad helped me from beginning to end, and the two of us laughed, teased one another, and reminisced so much that it felt as though we had been separated for years instead of only a few days. While we baked together, Dad casually mentioned that Vanessa still wasn't getting along with her husband. According to him, after their wedding, the two of them barely saw each other anymore.He sa
