LOGINWhat stings the most—betrayal from others or betrayal from your loved ones, especially your own family? The answer is clear to everyone. One takes a long time to recover from the hurt that he gets from his family and loved ones. But what if this betrayal leads to your death, and by the sheer stroke of luck, you get the second chance to change your fate? Surely, you will want to avenge your past self and build a new life without those traitors. This is what Xyla Thorne, an alpha she-wolf, did after she was reborn. She planned meticulously without alerting her enemies, who were unfortunately her own family and her own mate, and struck them when they were happy to celebrate their victory. This is the story of a wounded soul who wanted nothing but to see her enemies cry blood until they die in a worse way than her. But her new life took a shocking twist too when the person who she thought never paid attention to her in the past life turned out to be the one who loved her the most. What would she do now? Would she continue her path of revenge, or should she start a new life filled with his love and the pampering that he showered on her?

"Why?" I asked Naomi, once my baby sister, and standing in front of me like a sworn enemy, my eyes were still dry as I refused to cry in front of her. After everything that I did for her, this is what I got in return.
Betrayal?????
Torture????
"Why? Are you really asking me, Xyla?" She asked me angrily, mocking me in the process.
I was already on the verge of death. So, I just stayed silent, breathing shallowly, fire around me burning my skin at a very slow pace, but I refused to give her the satisfaction of hearing my screams.
I should have seen this coming to me. Now, I realized that there were hints of her hatred towards me all the time.
It was me who was ignorant, and now, I was paying the price with my life.
If she had killed me directly, I wouldn't have resented her so much, but no, she decided to torture me in every inhumane manner that she could think of.
She put my drugged and naked body on a thick slab of ice and then lit candles all around my body, covering every inch of my body except my back. My hair had already burned completely, destroying the scalp in the end.
My skin was now dripping drop by drop everywhere, but she wanted to see me scream.
"Ever since I started understanding things, you are the one who has been outstanding in every aspect. Everyone praised you for your achievements, for being reasonable, for being intelligent, and for being strong and skilled. You are the one who is beautiful between us, but what about me?" She screamed at me, and the next second, she raised her claw and slashed my chest deeply.
My whole body trembled hard, but she had given me a high concentration of wolfsbane mixed with some other sedatives and aphrodisiacs.
Yes, she used all the illegal drugs known to the world on me so that I couldn't fight her.
She feared me, but her fear gave birth to her jealousy and hatred towards me.
"I was just your shadow, inferior to you in every aspect," she continued screaming and slashing my upper body like a maniac with a set of sharp knives instead of her fingers.
"Everything that you have belonged to me, but you stole it from me. I got the alpha title, but everyone wants to see you in me." She continued screaming while slashing me.
I felt pain, immense pain, but I couldn't even flinch a little.
My heartbeat was now fading fast, but I felt something crawling on my body from everywhere.
I wanted to laugh at my luck, but tears dropped from the corners of my eyes.
Leeches were now crawling over my body, trying to suck as much blood as they could.
"That husband of yours was supposed to kill you on your first night after marriage, but he decided to mark you and made you the most powerful Luna. Why? Why?" She continued screaming while recalling every big and small incident of my life.
She forgot that it was she who refused to marry him.
She forgot that I never wanted to be the most powerful Luna because this title was not a blessing but a curse.
"Why, you have everything that I desired. I snatched your mate, but that b*stard cheated on me too. I threw you in front of that monster, but he became your puppet. I wanted you to rot and beg for mercy, but you ruled the world. Why? Why?" Her screams burst my eardrums, but I closed my eyes.
She wanted to kill me because of her resentment and jealousy?
I understand, but she shouldn't have touched my pup.
She shouldn't have let me witness her dying.
This was her grave mistake.
If I could change that single day of my life, I would make you pay for what you did to me and my pup, Naomi.
Just one chance.
Just one more chance to live.
One chance to avenge myself and my pup.
I slowly opened my eyes when the shrill sound of my alarm started hurting my eardrums.
I sighed and closed my eyes again after shutting off the alarm.
Another nightmare, but it still feels so real.
Because this wasn't the nightmare but the brutal reality that I suffered in my past life.
Naomi, my younger sister, for whom I endured all the hardship all my life and even sacrificed all my happiness by marrying a monster and then rejecting my fated mate. What I got in the end, though.
She burned me alive but at a very slow rate, letting leeches suck my blood flowing through those slashes on my chest and abdomen. Every torture bestowed on me by her was unforgivable, but what she did to my pup was a sin.
Before putting me inside the fire circle on those ice slabs, she made me watch my pup dying in front of me. I couldn't even see if my baby was alive or dead when Naomi threw her in that tank filled with leeches and so many other insects. I didn't hear her crying but felt her bond with me breaking bit by bit, intensifying the pain with every passing second.
I could forgive Naomi for what she did to me, but not what she did to my pup.
For two years.
For two long years, I lived every single day just like in my past life, without making any major changes, but I did change a few things.
Yes, I was given a chance to avenge myself and my pup two years ago on my eighteenth birthday.
I am twenty now, and today is the day when my parents and my beloved sister with my mate will try to manipulate me into taking Naomi's place in the marriage alliance with the most cruel alpha of present time.
I slowly opened my eyes and took a deep breath.
The day had arrived.
The day that should have been a happy day turned into a nightmare after they made me reject my mate.
The day when my love and protectiveness towards my baby sister would make me take the worst decision of my life.
I closed the alarm and slowly stood up from the bed.
I let the silk sheet slide down my half-naked body, as I wore only shorts made up of silk when I slept, a habit I developed after I was reborn.
Because I still felt my skin burning in my nightmares, making it impossible for me to sleep with a piece of cloth on my body. The smoothness of silk somehow gave me some ease.
I took the silk robe from the foot of the bed and put it on while walking towards the window.
I opened the window after fastening the belt loosely around my waist.
I leaned forward and closed my eyes while taking a long and deep breath, filling my lungs with the fresh morning air.
"Finally the day has come. She loves snatching my things, right? Let's see what she will do now," I mumbled to myself with a faint smile dancing on my lips.
I put my hands on the sill of the window and leaned forward more, putting my whole weight on my hands, breathing deeply so that I could have enough fresh air in my lungs for later.
"Ready for the day, honey?" I asked my wolf, who also grinned wickedly.
Xyla’s P.O.V.I spat the soup that I was drinking and looked at Ruben in astonishment and disbelief.Not only me, but even Xander also gasped in shock.I coughed hard because I also choked on the soup that I was drinking.Xander immediately patted my back to soothe me, but I continued staring at Ruben without changing my expression.“Are you drunk, Ruben?” I asked her in disbelief after I stopped coughing hard.He frowned and started pouting like a spoiled brat.“I never touched alcohol, and you are saying that I am drunk? This is not fair.” He yelled, throwing a tantrum like a child.“Goddess!!!! How do you tolerate this childish behavior? He is a grown-up man, for goddess’ sake.” Xander groaned impatiently through the mind-link.“I know that you two are mind-linking, okay?” Ruben yelled again, glaring at us.Xander immediately snapped his head in my direction, clearly asking me to explain.“He can mind-link anyone like us.” I told him briefly.“I am serious, Xyla. Naomi is actually
Carl’s P.O.V.I couldn’t describe the satisfaction I felt while listening to King Napoleon’s jab at Naomi.Lucian had always been ambitious.I knew that. As his father, I know him better than anyone else.When we learned that Xyla was his mate, I thought that everything would be okay.Xyla is the most understanding person that I have ever known.Her understanding, ways of tackling serious issues, and people….Everything about her is perfect.Lucian was way out of her league, but we accepted it because it was the goddess who paired them.But Naomi took advantage of Lucian’s ambitious nature and ruined him.I was so ashamed to even face Xyla after we found Lucian half-naked in Naomi's room.Naomi ruined herself, too, but she was still unhinged, riding on her parents’ indulgence towards her.And now with Xyla’s absence, she thought that she would take over the alpha’s position.King Napoleon called us half an hour ago and announced that I would take over Alpha's work after they leave the
Xander’s P.O.V. (Continued)"You are right, Xander, but she stated that the marriage alliance between you and Xyla's family is for her as your future wife, not Xyla. Nolan Thorne is also unconscious and unable to confirm whether he agrees to change the bride from Naomi to Xyla.” Napoleon paused for two seconds, but I was already pissed with what he said.“So, in the absence of Nolan, Elara, and Xyla, Naomi, as the youngest alpha's daughter, has taken over the alpha position temporarily, and the first thing that she did is to demand Xyla's safe return." He explained, and I laughed coldly.“Does she really think that she is capable of making demands from me?” I asked him coldly and heard him chuckling.“Xyla isn’t going back, not until she gets her strength back. Beta Carl will take over the alpha’s duty on behalf of Nolan and Xyla. If Naomi protested, tell her that I will be the first one to challenge her for the alpha position.” I instructed Napoleon angrily.“I am still wondering why
Xander’s P.O.V.“How is it?” I asked Henry with an expressionless face, holding Xyla tightly into my embrace.She fell asleep during the examination. She was still weak, but her sudden dizziness made me worried for her.“She is healing fine, Alpha Xander, but both her wolf and her body are still too weak to take any kind of physical exhaustion. It will be best if she stays away from all the work and her pack for a few more days. At least a week.” Henry replied to me truthfully with a serious gaze.My eyes widened in surprise, but I groaned in frustration when I heard a shocked gasp coming from behind me.“She can’t stay here longer. The pack needs her, and with Luna Elara in coma.”“Shut up, Ruben. Xyla is also a human. She almost lost her life this time.” I growled at Ruben, cutting him off mid-sentence.I didn’t’ look in his direction as I was cradling Xyla on my chest, but I could feel his fear.“Alpha Xander is right, Ruben. In her present physical state, she can’t stay awake for
Xyla’s P.O.V.I concentrated on my breakfast under the tense gaze of my parents and Naomi.Well, my parents were tense and worried while Naomi was shooting daggers at me through her eyes.Xander left right after the dinner, but the way he left showed that he was pissed, and now my parents were worr
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Enough, Xyla. I believe in you.” Dad spoke when I was about to continue scolding and accusing Naomi.“Dad?” Naomi’s voice was filled with disbelief, but his statement was surprising to me.“Call the whole kitchen staff who prepared last night’s dinner, Carl. Interrogate t
Xyla’s P.O.V.For a few seconds, the whole world around me vanished when their gazes met.His dark black eyes were still as cold as I remembered them, but I was sure that I had tears in my amber eyes.Honey snarled in delight and tried to take over the control, but I pushed her back and blocked her
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)The silence and the tension in the room…Both are thick to the extent of suffocation…What the f**k was wrong with this man?My eyes almost popped out of their sockets in shock. Honey was delighted, but she was also shocked by what he asked.Among all of us, only he was th
