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.
Xander’s P.O.V.“How did this happen?” Alpha Nolan mumbled in disbelief while staring at the bodies of the two unconscious women inside the cell that was specially prepared for them.“This isn’t the question that you should have asked, Alpha Nolan,” I said to him coldly, clenching my jaw so that I almost ground my molars in the process.“What do you mean?” Alpha Nolan asked me in a confused tone.“They look exactly like Luna Elara and Beta Grace. How can you say that they are not the original ones?” I asked him and slowly moved my gaze in his direction.He sucked in a breath and looked back at the women in the cell. The question startled them, and I could see doubts Carl was also standing behind him with an expressionless face.“This is getting out of hand. They….. they can replace anyone at any time.” He mumbled, and I agreed with him on this.“What should we do now?” Mack asked with a serious expression.“It’s easy to find if they are the real ones or the ones who were sleeping pea
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Now you are worried for Ethan, Grace?” I asked her sarcastically, slowly standing up from the chair.I couldn’t pinpoint who among them was using magic on me right now, but it was intense.The gems were now burning my skin under them.“Watch your tone, Xyla. She is still your elder,” Mom scolded me, and I scoffed aloud, taking a step away from them.“Go home, Mom. Everything is fine here.” I instructed her calmly, flipping my back in their direction.“Stop now, Xyla.” Mom used her Luna command over me, forgetting that this command never worked on me.I slowly moved in their direction, looking a bit annoyed.“I am tired and hungry, Mom. I need to rest. Those witches can attack us at any time. So, I need a good rest, too so that I can fight them,” I stated flatly without masking my annoyance and anger in my tone.“I don’t care what you need, Xyla. I need answers, and you will not go away without providing them to me.” Mom replied angrily.I felt a sharp prick
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)I walked to the garden at a steady pace as if I had all the time in the world.They looked at me as soon as they sensed my presence. It was good that Xander still masked his presence.So, the only strong presence here was mine.“Are they here to murder us?” Honey asked me with a short snort.I also felt that murderous gaze coming from them and it surprised me.Because both of them were looking at me with the same gaze.“Mom, Grace….. what happened?” I asked them in a concerned tone as soon as I reached them.“What is this, Xyla? I understand that you have your reasons to keep outsiders away from your space, but I am your mother.” Mom spoke to me in an angry tone, sounding as if she were being wronged.“It’s not only you, Mom. Dad also has to take permission before entering my space.” I replied to them calmly, but she became angrier.“What? Are you hiding a lover inside?” she spat, already on the verge of attacking me at any time.I sat down on one of the chai
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)My whole existence melted down in his embrace, and I wrapped my hands around his torso tightly.The sparks and jolts of electricity made me feel alive once again.He buried his face inside my hair and inhaled sharply.“What took you so long?” he asked me in a hoarse and throaty voice.The pleasuring shiver that shot through my whole body made me tremble a little.“You know what happened tonight,” I replied while snuggling onto his shoulder.He hummed in response and pulled me up in his embrace.Without thinking, I wrapped my legs around his waist, still holding him tightly by his torso.He took me to bed and threw himself there.His back hit the mattress while I bounced over his body.He didn’t move his face away from my hair, and I had no desire to move either.We both stayed in the same position for, I don’t know, how much time, but the peace was comfortable.His steady heartbeat brought calmness to both my mind and heart.His hold on me was still tight, gi
Naomi’s P.O.V.“Good morning, Dad. How was the meeting?” I asked my father cheerfully while taking a seat beside the dining table.“Good morning, honey. The meeting went well.” He answered with a faint smile while serving food on my mother’s plate.I envied their love sometimes, but they were fated
Xyla’s P.O.V.I could feel their eyes on me, but I didn’t look in their direction, not even once. They had something to discuss with me, and I knew what that was.But I wasn't in a mood to have an argument with them again.My goal was to finish my breakfast and then go away from them for the rest o
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)My jaw clenched hard as those words felt like a taunt, her declaration that I didn’t matter to my parents.I still kept my face calm, waiting for my parents to say something.“Can anyone speak so brazenly in front of the alpha family and their guests, Alpha Nolan?” Xander
