Chapter 2

Author: Myosotis
“They will understand it. No wolf will dare challenge the blood alliance.”

My lips curved into a thin, sharp smile.

Selene’s expression turned taut.

But she had no choice.

Elias finally allowed himself a satisfied smile.

He turned to me and grabbed my wrist.

“Thank you,” he said, his tone condescending. “Don’t worry, I won’t throw you out. Elara will stay by my side, but the Luna’s place will always be yours. I will grant you status, honor, and respect. Only do not bully Elara.”

I wrenched my hand free of his grasp. “No need.”

“You don’t want to mate me anymore?” he asked, genuine disbelief coloring his tone.

I nodded.

He let out a harsh, disbelieving laugh. “Then you won’t be my Luna when I claim the Alpha title.”

I looked him straight in the eye.

He had already known that we were both reborn. He was too sharp not to.

But even after all we’d been through, even after I’d single-handedly laid the foundation for his rise to power, he still put Elara above everyone else in his heart, offering her a place by his side while merely leaving the empty title of Luna for me.

“Don’t worry about me,” I said, turning to leave.

“You have two months to come to your senses,” he called after me.

I didn’t need two months. I had made my choice the moment I was thrown off the cliff.

This time, Elias wouldn’t be the Alpha.

Whoever I bound myself to would become Alpha. The Silverclaw pack’s support was enough to tip the scales.

I arrived at Kael’s northern border camp as the sun began to set. He hadn’t returned from his first patrol.

The camp master dipped his chin, not quite meeting my eyes.

“Captain Kael’s still patrolling the border, Lady. He won’t be in till dawn. Shall I have him summoned the moment he crosses the line?”

I shook my head.

If my pack knew, they would have disowned me for even considering mating Kael.

Everyone knew that of all the Alpha’s sons, Kael was the least likely to claim the Alpha title.

He cared for nothing but fighting and guarding the border, and he had never once spoken a flattering word to his father.

But in my past life, he had been the only rival I had ever truly feared.

I could see he possessed every quality a great Alpha needed.

Fortunately, he had fallen on the battlefield before he could emerge as my greatest threat.

I ran my fingers over the worn wolf pendant in my hand and sighed.

If Elias hadn’t pulled me from that lake when we were children, I would have bet everything on Kael from the start.

Dawn was painting the sky pale pink when the heavy thud of leather boots echoed through the courtyard.

When I laid out my proposal, he raised a single eyebrow, his golden wolf eyes glinting coldly in the soft morning light.

“You want to mate me?”

I nodded.

“And you want to help me claim the Alpha title?”

I nodded again.

He hung his bloodstained blade casually on the wall peg.

“I’m just a warrior,” he said flatly. “I have no desire to rule. You’re the sharpest mind in the entire pack. Why would you waste your talents on me?”

“You’re not unfit to rule. You just don’t want the burden, and no one has ever given you the means to succeed. But if I hand you the full might of the Silverclaw pack… do you really want Elias, the coward who left your brother to be torn apart by rogues, to lead this pack?”

Kael’s hand froze mid-pour, and a tidal wave of killing intent crashed over me.

“Speak of my brother again, and I will kill you.”

I pouted and murmured softly, “Even if you spare me now, Elias will kill me once he takes the Alpha position.”

After a long silence, I stared into his eyes.

“Are you brave enough to take what’s yours?”

He leaned down, his golden eyes burning with a dangerous fire.

“You’re not afraid to burn with me, why should I be afraid?”

I nodded, pulling out Selene’s signed decree from my cloak.

His breath caught.

He stared at the decree that would bind us, his brow furrowing deeply.

He hated power struggles with every fiber of his being.

But he hated being manipulated even more.

Especially by the one who was renowned across the packs for her cold, calculating cunning.

He said, “You calculate everything.”

“You will never regret binding yourself to me,” I said.

He gave me a cold look and turned away.

The gust from his turning cloak knocked the pendant from my grasp.

It clattered on the stone floor.

Before I could bend down to pick it up, he grabbed it first.

  • Reborn to Crown the Alpha He Feared   Chapter 8

    The next morning, Kael left with most of his warriors. He left twenty of his best warriors behind to guard me, with strict orders not to let me leave the camp under any circumstances.But the guards didn’t listen.They’d seen what I’d done. They’d seen me win battles, save lives, and lead them to victory. They knew Kael would be dead without me. So as soon as Kael was out of sight, the head guard came to my building and opened the door.“Let’s go, Lady Lyra,” he said. “Let’s bring our Alpha home.”I nodded, too grateful for words. We shifted into our wolf forms and took off after Kael, following the trail his army had left through the snow.We chased them for two days, running nonstop through the frozen wasteland. On the third day, I heard the sound of battle in the distance. I ran faster, my paws pounding against the ice and snow.When I crested the hill, I saw them. Kael’s army was surrounded by hundreds of Ironfang warriors and a group of black-clad soldiers I recognized immediat

    I woke up in my building, Kael sitting beside me.“You’ve been asleep for twelve hours,” he said, his voice soft. “You haven’t slept more than three hours a night in two weeks. Why are you pushing yourself so hard?”I looked up at him, my eyes stinging with tears. “Because you died here, Kael. In my last life, you died in these mountains, and no one even cared. Elias called you a failure. He said you got yourself killed because you were reckless. But I know the truth. And I’m not going to let that happen again. I’m not going to lose you.”He stared at me, his golden eyes filled with an emotion I couldn’t name. He reached out and brushed a strand of hair away from my face, his fingers lingering on my cheek. Before I could say anything, he stood up. “Get some rest,” he said, turning toward the door. “The final battle is in two days.” I stood in front of him, blocking his path. “Don’t go,” I said. “It’s a trap. You will die.”“I have to go,” he said, his voice gentle but firm. “If w

    We arrived at the northern border camp three days later, just as the first snow began to fall. Kael immediately threw himself into his work. He wouldn’t let me go on patrol. He wouldn’t let me attend the strategy meetings. And every time he left the camp, he posted two armed guards outside my building with strict orders not to let me leave for any reason.I tolerated it for exactly seven days.On the eighth morning, I waited by the entrance until Kael returned from a dawn patrol. Before he could step inside, I stepped in front of him, blocking his path.“Why won’t you let me fight?” I demanded.He sighed, rubbing a hand over his tired eyes. “It’s too dangerous.”I crossed my arms, saying, “Don’t treat me like a helpless child.”“You’re the Silverclaw heir,” he said, his voice firm. “If something happens to you, the blood alliance between our packs breaks. The entire territory will fall into chaos.”“I’m not just the Silverclaw heir,” I shot back. “I’m your mate. And I’m not going t

    Kael spent the rest of the day preparing his warriors for deployment. That evening, he showed up at my door, his pack slung over his shoulder. “We’re going to see Selene.” He said, his voice flat.I frowned. “Why?”“We’re canceling the mating bond.”The words hit me like a physical blow. I stared at him, stunned. “What?”“You heard me,” he said, turning to walk down the hallway. I hurried to catch up with him. “You chose the wrong person, Lyra. All I know is how to hold a blade and guard a border. Elias may be cruel, but he’s better at ruling than I am. You could ally with him first, bide your time, and take him down when the moment is right. You deserve someone who can give you the throne you’ve earned, not a soldier who’ll die on some frozen battlefield.”He dragged me toward Selene’s private suite, his grip firm on my wrist. I didn’t resist. I just stared at his broad back. And suddenly, I stopped dead in my tracks. Kael turned to look at me, confused. I pulled my wrist free

  • Reborn to Crown the Alpha He Feared   Chapter 4

    The cold darkness of the lake did not swallow me whole as I’d expected.Strong, calloused arms cut through the icy water, lifting my limp body from the freezing depths before my consciousness faded entirely. I was too weak to open my eyes, too drained to struggle, only able to feel the rough texture of scarred palms against my frostbitten skin. A cold, carved weight was pressed firmly into my trembling palm.It was the worn wolf pendant I’d dropped earlier. The fingers that closed my hand around it lingered for a heartbeat, then pulled away. By the time I forced my heavy eyelids open, the moonlit shore was empty. My chest tightened with unshakable doubt.This scene mirrored the memory I’d clung to for fifteen years down to the smallest detail. As a seven-year-old, I’d slipped through the cracked ice of this exact lake and nearly drowned. I’d always believed Elias had pulled me to safety; the last figure I’d glimpsed through blurry eyes had been his dark silhouette standing over

    “What is this?”He stared at the faded wolf engraving on the pendant, then lifted his gaze to mine. “You’ve kept this all these years?”I snatched it back and tucked it safely inside my tunic. “It’s nothing. Just something that matters to me.”For some reason, he raised an eyebrow, and the sharp edge of his anger softened slightly.This pendant had once belonged to Elias. He had dropped it the night he pulled me from the freezing lake when we were seven.I had been foolish enough to fall in love with him over that single act of kindness, and I had carried this pendant with me for fifteen years.“Guards,” he said, his voice losing its icy edge. “Escort Lyra back to Silverclaw territory.”His personal warrior nodded sharply and stepped forward.Kael was always occupied with border duties. He also kept a low profile and disliked making a big scene.So I didn’t announce our mating publicly.So no one in the pack had any idea I was going to bond with Kael when the monthly Full Moon Rite a
