Chapter 1

In my previous life, To help my sterile Alpha mate Marcus Blackwood conceive an heir, I had used many hormone injections and finally gave birth to a weak pup Connor.

But Marcus considered Connor and me a shame. He even locked my son alone in the drafty woodshed until he starved to death.

Later, he held his mistress Scarlett's pup and rewarded Scarlett with a new Porsche.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back at our engagement party.

Marcus publicly took Scarlett's hand in front of everyone. "I’m breaking off my engagement with Hazel Whitmore! She is just a foolish she-wolf who can only birth idiots! Scarlett is the one I love!"

"Marcus Blackwood, have you lost your mind?!"

Marcus’s grandfather William's furious rebuke instantly pulled my consciousness back to reality.

I suddenly opened my eyes, my back already drenched in cold sweat.

The brilliantly lit banquet hall before me made my entire body freeze.

I was still alive.

"Hazel is your future Luna! She's the one our Blackwood pack has chosen!"

"She is just a bookworm who only knows healing research! What use is she to our pack?" Marcus retorted.

I looked toward the sound. Marcus was staring at me with undisguised disgust on his face.

He then turned to his grandfather beside him, his tone resolute.

"Grandfather, I love Scarlett. I want to mark her!"

My body didn't move an inch, but the memory fragments in my mind had already pieced together completely.

He would never know that he was born sterile.

In my previous life, I had spent all my time studying the genetic healing technology to give him a pup.

That pup he personally starved to death was his only bloodline in his lifetime.

Marcus Blackwood, this time, you can hold your Scarlett and remain childless forever.

That suffocating feeling of being shrouded in constant psychological violence surged up again.

I watched his smug expression, feeling unprecedented calm in my heart.

I didn't want to participate in this farce anymore.

"Hazel..." William looked at me in embarrassment.

I lowered my eyes. "Elder William, since Marcus has someone he loves, let’s cancel the engagement."

After all, in this lifetime, he was destined to remain childless.

Marcus let out a cold snort, the disdain in his eyes for me completely unconcealed.

"Good, at least you know your place!"

Scarlett beside him had undisguised triumph on her face, looking at me like a victor.

I only found it ridiculous.

Whether this was a stairway to heaven or the beginning of a fall into hell, she would soon find out.

Since Marcus chose Scarlett, William arranged for me to be mated to his eldest grandson, Garrett Blackwood.

In my memories, he was a very powerful Alpha who built his own pack independently from scratch.

However, he never found his destined mate and was willing to accept the family's arrangements.

After the party ended, William transferred part of the pack's territory directly under my name to compensate me.
