Synopsis

Reborn

Mate

Fake Death

On the night of the full moon, I take my mate, Kyle Fenwolf, back to my pack for the full moon ceremony. Before the start of the ceremony, I head over to the sacred spring to wash my hands. Upon returning to the venue, I find out that Kyle has gone missing. I quickly looked for the guards, only to be told that I came to the pack on my own. When I asked my packmates, who were here to attend the ceremony, they told me that they never saw anyone by my side. But the thing is, I came back with Kyle! He had just given me the bone flute that he had personally carved! He even told me that he'd teach me how to play it once the ceremony was over! How could he be gone all of a sudden? As I stared at the flute, which was still warm from Kyle's body heat, in my hands, I strongly requested the guards to search around the forest and the pack territory. Thanks to my strong demands, the ceremony was forcibly interrupted. The pack's enforcers searched the entire territory for Kyle, and yet they never found him. They couldn't even pick up on a trace of his scent. They asked my father, who was the pack's Alpha, for answers. But Dad claimed that I was mentally ill, and that I dreamed up a mate on my own. In the end, I was thrown into the dungeon. There, I got ripped into shreds by the other insane wolves. When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day when I'm meant to bring Kyle home.

Chapter 1

Kyle Fenwolf's fingertips brushed against my cheek. They were slightly cool. "What's wrong, Nora? You've been staring at the moon for ten minutes."

The touch pulled me out of my panic. When I looked into his amber eyes, memories came crashing back.

Kyle and I had been together for three years. Ever since he was betrayed and driven out by his own pack, Dad had never decided whether to accept him.

That was why we came back this time for the full moon ceremony. We wanted his approval… but Kyle vanished.

Everything began the moment we returned home for this very ceremony. The memories from my previous life were still painfully clear.

I just couldn't understand.

Why did Kyle suddenly vanish without a trace? Why did the pack members who saw us arrive together swear they had never seen him before? Why did Dad insist that I had never had a mate, even though Kyle and I had been together for three years?

Kyle frowned slightly, his voice gentle. "Nora, you're shaking. Are you okay?"

For the past three years, he had always taken such good care of me.

He knew nightmares regularly haunted me, so he would shift into his wolf and curl up beside me every night, using his presence to chase them away. More than a thousand nights had passed, and he had never once lost patience with me.

In my previous life, I lost my mind trying to find him after he disappeared. As much as I still couldn't comprehend what had happened, I knew I couldn't let it happen again.

Carefully, I told Kyle, "Why don't we skip the ceremony tonight and wait for the next full moon?"

He looked confused. "What, why? The pack only holds the ceremony once each season. If we miss this one, we'll have to wait another three months. Your dad already agreed to acknowledge our bond tonight. Leaving now would be disrespectful."

Kyle was right. Skipping the ceremony wasn't a good choice. Still, as soon as the memories of my previous life haunted me, a chill ran down my spine. There had to be another way.

Previously, I was thrown into the stone cell because no one could prove I ever had a mate. So, this time, I would prove that he existed.

I quickly pulled out my phone, held Kyle's hand, and began documenting. Later, I posted more than a dozen photos of us on social media, with a caption celebrating the occasion.

"On our way to the ceremony with my mate. Tonight is going to be special."

Comments began popping up almost instantly.

"Finally! Congratulations to you both!"

"Safe travels! We have to celebrate together after the ceremony!"

To be extra safe, I snapped another picture of Kyle holding his bone flute. Then, I sent it to the clan group chat. "Dad, Elder Marcus, we just entered pack territory. We'll arrive at the sacred grounds in about an hour."

Dad's response was prompt. "We're all waiting right there. The whole pack is ready to witness the bonding."

Dad's reply, as well as the stream of congratulations lighting up my phone screen, made me exhale in relief. Now, no one could deny that I had a mate, right?As dusk deepened, Helena the Priestess asked everyone to turn off their phones for the duration of the ceremony. Then, she began handing out the ceremonial wine.When it was my turn, the same thing happened as in my previous life. Another werewolf bumped into her, and the dark red wine sloshed over the rim and spilled onto my dress.Kyle reacted instantly. He took the cloth from Helena's hands and gently wiped the wine from my dress."Moon Goddess, please forgive me. It was an honest mistake," Helena said in a fluster.I patted her arm. "It's alright. He can handle it."She visibly relaxed and even remarked with a hint of envy, "Your mate is really attentive."I stared at Helena, who had spoken the exact words in my previous life. However, when Kyle had disappeared and I had asked her about it, she had looked at me in compl

Kyle's fingers slipped through my hair, his thumb gently rubbing my head. "I'm bound to you. How could I ever leave you?"To reassure me, he reached into his backpack and took out a bone flute. It was my favorite gift. He placed it in my hands. "Don't worry too much. Keep this. The moon won't reach its peak for at least another hour."I stared at the flute in my palm, hesitating. In my previous life, this was the exact moment I went to the sacred spring to wash my hands. When I returned, Kyle had been gone, leaving behind only the flute.I felt the familiar urge to rinse the wine stains from my fingers once again, but I dared not leave his side. I grabbed his wrist tightly. "From now on, you're not leaving my sight. Not even for a second."Kyle laughed and promised he wouldn't go anywhere. The moment his words fell, the ground beneath our feet suddenly trembled."Stay calm, everyone! It'll pass in a moment!" said an elder, but the shaking only grew stronger.The torches circling

It was simply impossible. Every detail of tonight was still fresh in my memory, so how could Kyle have just… vanished?"Kyle, where are you?" I cried, my voice breaking.Dad immediately ordered the ceremony paused. Several guards hurried over, and Helena explained the situation to Garrett Wildclaw, the lead guard.I struggled to keep my voice steady, petrified of ending up in the stone cell again."Dad, I'm not causing any trouble. I'm looking for my mate. He came here with me tonight, but now he's gone! He must still be somewhere in our territory. Please, help me find him!"At last, Dad agreed to help search for Kyle. No matter how thoroughly they combed the territory, though, there was no trace of him.Garrett's expression was grim. "We've searched every corner of the territory and even checked the scents along the borders. There's no sign of the mate you've described."He added, "A werewolf can't just vanish into thin air. Are you sure he came here with you?""I'm sure of it

I stared straight into Elder Thomas' eyes. "Again, you said you're a healer?"He frowned. "Yes, and I work at the Moon Mountain Infirmary. Why?"That was strange. He was clearly the pack's enforcer in my previous life. Why was he claiming to be a healer this time?"Thomas, weren't you an enforcer?" I asked directly."An enforcer?" He appeared even more confused, replying, "I've always been a healer. Nora, are you actually sick?"The others nodded in agreement, murmuring that he had, indeed, always been a healer.I ripped free from the guards' grip and pushed through the crowd toward Helena. "Helena! You're the priestess, right?"She took a cautious step back, eyes wary. "Yes, I am…""Then, tell me this," I said, pointing at the ceremonial items on the ground."When you were handing out the ceremonial wine, someone bumped into you, and the wine spilled on my dress. My mate, Kyle, wiped the stains off for me, and you even said he was attentive. You remember that, don't you?"He

The stone cell was pitch black. I sank against the wall, my mind a maelstrom. Where had Kyle gone?I replayed every moment repeatedly.When the ground shook, he had been right beside me, only to vanish into thin air the next second. Every trace of his existence had been erased, and the pack's memories had been altered.Clearly, someone was deliberately erasing Kyle. But who and why?A rustling sound came from the darkness. I shot up, every sense on high alert. "Who's there?"There was no answer, just the sound growing closer, mixed with heavy, labored breathing.Suddenly, glowing eyes appeared in the blackness. It was the mad wolves, the very same creatures who had torn me apart to death in my previous life.As they crept closer, I instantly shifted into my wolf and bared my fangs. Then, one lunged. I twisted to dodge, but the space in the cell was too tight. Another claw raked across my leg, tearing a gash.It was then that a raspy, old voice echoed from the depths of the cell

I had to close my eyes and focus, forcing my mind to recall Lydia.Three years ago, when Kyle and I had confirmed our bond, she suddenly left the pack, claiming she was going elsewhere to study healing arts.Could she have secretly been in love with Kyle all this time? I needed to know for sure.I sprinted toward Lydia's home, on the eastern side of the pack territory. As I approached, a light glowed from the first-floor window. I crept silently to the window and peered through the narrow gap in the curtains.Inside the living room, Lydia sat on the couch. Several books lay open on the table, their covers etched with runes that I couldn't understand. A black wooden box rested nearby—a tool of dark magic.So, it was her! Lydia cast the spell!I waited for a few minutes. She finished her drink, stood up, and headed toward the stairs.Seizing the opportunity, I slipped inside her house and moved quickly to the table. I grabbed the books and flipped through them, searching for anyth

I lay awake in Lydia's guest room, too restless to sleep. Only after I was fairly sure she had dozed off did I slip quietly into the living room.I lifted the photo frame, opened the hidden compartment on the back, and saw the crystal vial resting there, still and gleaming. I reached for it, my fingertips just brushing the cool surface…"What do you think you're doing?"Lydia's voice came from behind me. I spun around and saw her standing at the top of the stairs."I knew you weren't here for good," she said, descending. "You found out, didn't you?"I took a step back, my fingers tightening around the vial, going silent.She stopped in front of me, and her eyes twisted with malice. "What makes you think you deserve Kyle? Right now, he's trapped in another dimension. Only I can reach him. Soon, he'll forget you and love me instead."I clenched my fists. "You're insane! Kyle will never love you!""Then, he shall stay there forever," she said with a sneer. "It's not like you can s

Chapter 9
Ripples spread across the surface of the sacred spring. A moment later, the water began to glow. A powerful force surged up from the depths and pulled me in.I didn't even have time to struggle before the icy water swallowed me whole. The world around me twisted and warped. Slowly, reality faded from sight.In its place appeared a gray, empty realm. It was colorless and quiet, like a void. I had arrived in another dimension.I shifted back into human form, standing on what felt like solid ground in the middle of the void. The crystal vial was gone. I looked around desperately, with only one thought filling my mind.I had to find Kyle, recover the vial, and bring him home."Kyle!" I shouted into the emptiness. "Kyle, where are you?"I stood up and began walking forward. There was nothing here but drifting gray mist. Time felt strange, like it had stopped moving.Just as despair began creeping in, a blurry figure appeared amid the mist. My heart started pounding. I ran toward it.

"It's always been here," I repeated.Kyle looked at me in silence for a moment, then let out a sigh. The smile slowly faded from his face. "When did you figure it out?""Earlier," I answered. "There's a line in the book that I didn't forget. 'If the vessel is destroyed by the hand of the cursed one's closest kin, the curse shall pass to the destroyer.' You needed me to destroy it so the curse would transfer to me."I scoffed. "By then, everyone will forget me, just like how they forgot you."He didn't deny it."Why?" I questioned.Kyle stayed silent for a long time before finally speaking, explaining, "Your dad never trusted me. For three years, he treated me like an outsider. Even if we did go through the ceremony, nothing would change. He'd never truly accept me."When the pack turned on me and kicked me out, no one could offer me help. Do you know how much I hated that?"His voice grew sharper, anger flashing across his face in a way I had never seen before."Then, you appe
