MasukKael simply ordered the guards to keep a close watch on Mira and Ronan, not allowing them to leave their quarters.Within two days, the reports came in.Ronan’s hair had already begun falling out in clumps.Mira, on the other hand, deteriorated even faster.The poison Ronan had created was lethal in a single drop.And she had swallowed an entire piece.I walked up to Mira.Her face was shredded by her own nails, torn into blood and flesh.Grotesque, barely human.Yet her eyes were still filled with unwillingness to accept it.“Why!? Why is this happening!?”“How did you know!?”The next second, something seemed to click to her.“I get it… you reborned too, didn’t you!?”I looked at her and smiled faintly.“Mira, you’re only realizing it now?”She lunged at me.But my guards pinned her down instantly.She stared at me, hatred burning in her eyes.“Bitch, you really hid it well!”“You knew Ronan was a monster all along, didn’t you?”“You just watched me walk straight into hell!”“Lyra, h
I opened the door. Ronan was standing there again.“Luna, my compound is ready. I’d like to invite you and the Alpha to try it tonight.”I paused slightly. “When?”As he spoke, his gaze had already fallen on the box on the table behind me.Inside it was the so-called “antidote” Kael and I had bought from the witch.Only Kael and I knew it could only suppress the poison temporarily.But across the entire southern territory, everyone believed it could cure it.Ronan’s eyes slowly turned greedy.I stepped aside. “Come in and talk.”He walked in and sat down.We exchanged a few casual words, then I deliberately knocked over a glass of water.“I’ll go change.”“Of course, Luna.”I stood in the inner room.Through the crack in the door, I watched him take out an identical vial from his coat.With swift movements, he replaced the one in the box.I smiled faintly.Then I walked back out.Ronan had already stood up.“I won’t disturb you. See you tonight.”“Alright.”【Kael, your antidote is in m
From the border, Kael took me to a restaurant.I didn’t expect to run into Mira and Ronan here.Mira had been cutting her steak. When she saw Kael pull out a chair for me and let me sit,her expression flickered, her gaze darkening with barely concealed jealousy.The knife in her hand made me remember the last life—the moment she drove a dagger into my chest.“Lyra, you’re here too.”Ronan’s fingers tightened, pinching her waist.She froze for a second, realizing her mistake, then quickly corrected herself.“Alpha, Luna, you’re dining here as well.”Ronan stood up and walked over to our table.Kael didn’t even look up. He kept reading the menu.“I heard you’ve been staying in the lab lately.”His tone was flat.“Busy?”Ronan smiled, his voice gentle.“Yes. I’m working on a new compound. Trying to finish it soon.”【Highly toxic. Leaves no trace. Perfect for you.】I cut in immediately.“It wouldn’t… be something meant to hurt people, would it?”Ronan paused, then waved his hands quickly
Kael took me to the borderlands.Along the way, I kept trying to hear his thoughts.But there was nothing.Of course. He stood at the very top. How could I possibly reach his mind?Standing at the border, the land stretched out endlessly, barren and vast.I stood beside him, watching the distant wolf packs roam the plains.Suddenly, one of his guards barked a warning.We turned. A cloaked woman was approaching.Kael gave a slight signal.The guards stepped aside.She was a witch, her fingers gripping a slender glass vial.Inside, a pale green liquid shimmered.“I heard Alpha has been searching for a cure to silver poison.”She lowered her voice. “This one vial can neutralize any silver toxin.”Kael tilted his head slightly. A guard immediately brought forward an Omega afflicted with silver poison.His complexion was ashen, breathing ragged, his wolf nature on the verge of collapse.The witch dripped a single drop into his mouth.The next second, he gasped sharply.Color rushed back to
“Worked him all night. Ronan really knows how to spoil me.”“And you, Lyra?”I answered softly, “I slept well.”Mira burst into laughter—then suddenly swayed, almost losing her balance.She caught herself against Ronan.But Ronan didn’t move to support her.Both he and I knew—the poison inside her was spreading faster now.Ronan’s voice cut through my mind, sharp, exhilarated.【Good. The silver toxin works fast.】That alone was enough.This time, I would make sure Kael never fell the way he did before.Last life, Kael’s death had been quiet.Clean & Untraceable.No proof & No culprit.But I knew who did it.This time—I would not let it happen.Mira, however, was still drunk on her own illusion.【Lyra, I took Ronan from you. Kael won’t even look at you. What do you have left to fight me with?】I said nothing.I simply lifted my hand—the one wearing the Luna ring—and casually adjusted my hair.Mira froze.Her expression shifted instantly.I smiled. “Mira, From now on—call me Luna.”He
In full view of the stunned crowd, Kael lowered his head and marked me at the side of my neck.The Alpha’s scent wrapped around me instantly. I felt a faint, numbing shock.Mira snapped.“Lyra! Who gave you permission to be marked by Kael!?”She lunged forward, only to be stopped halfway by several pack guards.She struggled, eyes bloodshot. “Let me go! That position is mine!”In my last life, Kael never marked her.He never even touched her.And now, this scene in front of her shattered her completely.The guests around us began whispering, some already sneering.“Isn’t Mira Ronan’s mate? What is she freaking out for?”Ronan’s gaze snapped toward Mira, fury burning in his eyes.【Stupid bitch. I’ll deal with you when we get back.】I stood still, listening.Night fell.I followed Kael to the Alpha’s residence.I stood quietly in the room and fed the fire in the hearth.Warmth spread through the space almost instantly.After that, I made up a place for myself on the couch, preparing to s
