LOGINIn one day, Selene's life took a devastating turn when she was framed for the death of the Alpha's heir, rejected by her mate, stripped of her position, and exiled from the pack she once called home. Selene watched the life she had built crumble before her eyes. No one believed her. Not even Theon— the man who once swore to always stand by her- eventually turned against her. Rejected and exiled, Selene believed her life couldn't possibly get any worse. But she was met with a more shocking revelation— her mate wanted her dead. Selene died believing the man she loved, the man she gave everything to, had conspired with his former mate to get rid of her. As she closed her eyes, she prayed for another chance. An opportunity to correct her mistakes. A chance to take back her life. She believed that maybe if she hadn't sacrificed so much for Theon, maybe if she hadn't loved him so much, his betrayal wouldn't have hurt so deeply. Then she opened her eyes and found herself back in the past. Moments just before the event that completely changed her life, but this time she knew exactly how everything would unfold. But she was no longer that foolish woman in her past life. And this time, she would choose herself first and destroy everyone who stood in her way.
View MoreTheon's POV The moment I stepped into Cora's room, her eyes lifted to me and a thin smile touched on her lips. She looked impossibly small beneath the blankets. Her hair spilled loosely around her shoulders, her face drained of color and there were tear tracks still visible on her cheeks. She looked fragile, broken, exhausted... And for a moment the doubts I had carried down the corridor felt almost cruel. The last time I saw her look this way was when Eren died. "Theon." Her voice was barely above a whisper. The name struck me. It was the first time she had called me that in years. Since I became Alpha, she had always addressed me formally as Alpha— never Theon. I closed the door behind me. "Lady Cora. I was told you couldn't sleep." "I can't." Her voice cracked. I moved toward the bed, then stopped. There was a time when I wouldn't have thought twice before sitting beside her. Tonight, I pulled the chair from the corner instead. Cora's eyes followed me as I sat.
Theon's POV — The doors closed behind Selene with a heavy thud and only then did I allow myself another look. "Alpha..." Elder Rowan's voice pulled me back. "The gravity of the accusation demands immediate action. The Luna should not be confined to her chambers, she should be taken into custody." A murmur of agreement swept through the council. Another elder stepped forward. "Luna Selene stands accused of causing the death of the late Alpha's heir. Should she be found guilty, it is a capital offense. Until the investigation is concluded, allowing her the freedom of her own chambers would be both reckless and inappropriate." I remained silent, letting them finish. "The council has not reached a verdict," I said finally. "Nor has the Luna been given fair hearing." "Yes, Alpha, but Lady Cora has identified her as the one responsible," Rowan replied. "And Lady Cora's testimony deserves to be heard," I replied. "Just as much as Selene's." "We have already heard them both,"
— "No, t-that's not true," the words escaped my lips before I could think. "I didn't push her. That's not what happened!" The hall fell deathly silent. I looked around, and it took only a glance to realize that no one believed me. Disgust and condemnation met me from every direction, weighing so heavily that it became difficult to breathe. "Cora..." I shook my head slowly, anger and disbelief burning through me. "Why would you say something like this? You know I didn't push you. Tell them the truth." But Cora only buried herself deeper against Theon's chest, trembling so violently that it looked as though she could barely breath. "Please..." She whispered between sobs. "Don't make me look at her." Theon's arms tightened protectively around her. "I won't let anyone hurt you." His voice was gentle and it felt like a spear piercing straight through my heart. "What about me?" The words slipped out before I could stop them. At last, Theon's gaze lifted to meet mine. "I fell to
Selene's POV Cold water dripped from the hem of my dress, gathering beneath my feet in tiny puddles as I staggered into the hall. With every step, every muscle in my body screamed in protest, my eyes burned from exhaustion and the back of my head throbbed with every heartbeat. But none of it compared to the confusion twisting inside of me. The fall had happened so fast. One moment, Cora and I were standing at the edge of the cliff, arguing. The next...we were both falling. I still couldn't understand it. Had she lost her footing? Or... Had I? My thoughts dissolved as murmurs rippled through the hall. It took me a moment to realize that the whispers were about me. The hate in their eyes were palpable, it came from every corner of the room, following me as I stumbled farther inside. If looks could kill, I was certain I would already have been buried six feet underground. Without even knowing my side of the story, they seemed to have concluded I was guilty. A shak
