Chapter 1

After my twin sister Harper died, my Alpha mate hated me for ten years.

For a whole decade, I was his Luna, and I tried every possible way to be good to him.

One day, he said, “If you really want to please me so much, then just die.”

So when a truck was coming at me, I didn’t even move, but I had never expected that Noah would push me out of the way to save me. He was badly injured.

Before he died, he looked at me and whispered, “Charlotte, if only I had never met you, everything would have been better.”

At Noah’s funeral, all the elders and members of the pack came.

“I should have let Noah choose Harper as his Luna. I regret forcing him to choose you back then. You killed him!” Noah’s mother was overcome with grief.

Noah’s father also said, “You know? Noah saved your life three times! He was such a kind-hearted Alpha. Why didn’t you die instead?”

Everyone at the funeral stared at me with blame.

Finally, I was thrown out of the funeral, lost and devastated.

Three years later, with the help of a witch, I returned to the past through her spell.

This time, I have made a decision. No matter what, I will never be Noah’s Luna again.

---

The witch slit my palm with a dagger.

I watched the blood flowing from my hand. The witch told me to let the blood drip into a silver cup. She began to cast her spell.

The cup glowed with a golden light, and everything around me seemed to be rewinding. Suddenly, I heard Noah’s voice again.

Noah said, “Charlotte, are you happy now? I have never thought you would bewitch my parents like this.”

I suddenly felt the urge to cry. Noah was here.

Noah grabbed my chin, “My parents wanted me to choose you as my Luna because you are a fertile Omega. There will only be a mate bond, never real feelings.”

Noah was alive and standing in front of me, wearing his favorite gray silk shirt.

I remembered that shirt. It had been a birthday gift from my twin sister Harper. For many years after that, Noah had kept wearing it.

At this moment, I realized I hadn’t returned to three years ago. Instead, I had gone back ten years.

This day was when we were to go to the Werewolf Council to register our mate bond.

This time, I still had a chance to change the future.

“Noah, you don’t want me as your Luna. The mate you truly want is Harper, isn’t it?”

Noah stared at me in shock.

He had no idea how I knew about his true feelings for my twin sister, Harper.

“You are right. But why does it matter? Do you think we can back out now?”

“We can.”

Noah let out a laugh. “Stop messing with me. Go change. I will wait for you outside.”

In fact, I had loved him for so long.

Harper was my twin sister. Our parents died in a battle, and Noah’s parents took us in. They raised us as if we were their own daughters, and it was also an obligation of the Alpha family.

I had fallen for Noah the first time I saw him. At first, Noah would wait for me after my training and bring me some of his prey.

As the Omega, I was not very good at running. Harper was nothing like me, she was a born hunter. Even though, we were twin sisters, I was the only one called the Omega.

Noah never called me that back then.

He would hang out with me. I could tell he noticed me in a way no one in the pack ever had.

When Harper realized I had fallen for Noah, she started showing up wherever he was, just like the way she had done with everything else of mine.

When we were little, she would take my dresses and snacks. She stole Noah from me, too.

I had always thought he liked me back. Even his parents had said, “Noah doesn’t know how to put his feelings into words. If he truly felt nothing for you, would he have nearly died for you twice?”

With his parents’ help, I had become his Luna. The third time he saved me, he didn’t survive.

With his last breath, he had said, “Charlotte, I have never loved you. If only I had never met you, everything would have been better.”

That was when I learned the truth. Noah had never loved me.

It was a decade of deep love for me and torment for him. I was the she-wolf who had come between him and his beloved Harper, the real Luna he had never got the chance to be with.

Before the witch helped me go back in time, she had warned me about the terms coming with this spell.

“You can change your path, but fate always demand a price.”

Once I returned, I would have to fulfill three of Noah’s wishes.

This time, we would no longer be trapped in this mate bond anymore.

At the Werewolf Council, due to Noah’s special position as the Alpha, we had a lot of documents to sign.

On the form’s last page, we needed to sign our names.

I watched Noah sign his quickly, then he walked away.

I hesitated for a moment.

Instead of signing my own name, I wrote Harper’s name.

Noah, this would be my gift to you. It was also the first wish of yours.
