In my previous life, My Alpha mate hated me for twelve years because he thought his parents forced him to mark me, thus causing his childhood sweetheart Ivy’s death. Despite this, he still sacrificed himself to save me when the rogue wolf attacked. His last wish before he died was that he had never mated to me.After he died, everyone, including me, regretted bonding us to each other.For three years, I howled my prayers to the Moon Goddess every night. Finally, the great Moon Goddess granted me a second chance. The Moon Goddess's power surged through me as I returned to the past. Ethan's mocking voice filled my ears once again."My parents threatened to exile me if I didn't mate with you. Your trick really worked, didn't it?" His laugh was bitter and cold. "But even if we're bound as mates, I'll never give you my love. We'll never be happy."My eyes snapped open.There he was—Ethan, alive and breathing, standing right in front of me.His hands were casually shoved into his suit pock

His gaze fell on me, and he frowned deeply. "You're acting strange today. What's wrong? Are you so thrilled about becoming my mate that you've lost your mind?"He had no idea how right he was.Because finally, finally, I was seeing him alive again.I smiled. "I think you're the best person in the world. Whoever becomes your mate will be very lucky."He snorted coldly and turned to walk away. If I didn't know he didn't love me, I might have thought he was embarrassed.Just then, a young couple nearby was chattering excitedly."There's going to be a blood moon tonight—once in a century! Legend says the blood moon is when the Moon Goddess descends. Mates who witness it together receive her blessing for health, peace, and love until they're old and gray. Honey, let's go see it together!"My steps slowed.I remembered this day from my past life. Full of foolish hope that he might learn to love me, I'd begged him to watch the blood moon with me.His response had been cruel mockery. "Those le

He got in the car and drove away, never seeing the heartbreak and bitter smile in my eyes.The truth was, I had never really tried to stop his devotion to Ivy.There was only one time when I'd interfered. Ethan's parents and I had accidentally witnessed Ivy kissing a strange middle-aged werewolf. When we investigated further, we discovered she had multiple sugar daddies.That's when I desperately tried to keep Ethan away from her.But Ethan never knew the truth. After she died, he suffered for ten long years.If I had to choose, I'd rather see him with Ivy than watch him lose his love forever and die because of me.Guilt and self-blame could crush a person's soul.I sighed and went to get my travel permits before heading home. As the former Alpha King's daughter, I was under the protection of the entire Northern Territory. I needed Alpha Council approval to visit other territories.Ethan's parents had already prepared a full dinner. When his mother saw me return, she grabbed my hands e

I stood frozen in place.In my past life, Ivy had also died from kidney failure after a rogue attack, unable to find a suitable donor in time.If Ethan had only shown me cold mockery before, after this incident, he'd truly begun to hate me.But this was supposed to happen a month after our mating ceremony. Why had it moved up so much?I'd been wondering how to fulfill Ethan's third wish.Now the opportunity had presented itself.I looked at him. "So you came here to ask me to save her?"Since childhood, my body had been special. My blood and organs were compatible with all werewolves. It's why I'd wanted to become the werewolf world's chief healer—to use my abilities to save more of our kind. I'd also hoped it would help me support Ethan better. Because I'd given my blood to save others so often, my body was weaker than most wolves. Only Ethan knew this secret.Ethan laughed bitterly, shocked and furious. "You think I wouldn't dare ask? You owe her this. If you hadn't complained to my

Ethan stared at me. I spoke softly, "You don't need to feel obligated. You don't need to feel guilty about anything. This is what I owed you."These words were for Ethan, but also for myself.Ethan frowned, clearly displeased. "What are you talking about?"I didn't answer. The room fell silent.Ethan turned away and picked up a cup to pour me hot water.I noticed his hands trembling uncontrollably. It must be raining today—his old injuries were acting up again.Memories and heartache flooded through me. I asked him, "Do you regret becoming like this because you saved me?"Ethan kept his head down as he placed the water in front of me. His hair fell across his eyes, hiding his expression.He said, "I don't regret it. Even if it had been someone else, I would have saved them.""What about during the volcano eruption?"I saw his fingers stiffen slightly. I heard him say, "Yes. No matter who it was, I would have saved them. I'm the pack's Alpha. Protecting pack members is my duty. I'm resp

The thermos bowl crashed to the floor with a deafening clang.Ethan's face went completely white. His hands shook violently as he stared at his beta assistant."What did you say!" His voice came out as a strangled roar that echoed down the hospital corridor.His heart felt like it had been struck by a sledgehammer. Sharp, crushing pain shot through his chest, making it hard to breathe. The world around him seemed to tilt and blur."Alpha, please calm down," his assistant said nervously, glancing around at the staring medical staff. "The situation is—""No!" Ethan cut him off, his voice breaking.Ethan forced himself to stay calm, though his entire body was trembling. "Where is she now? Take me to see her immediately!"His assistant scrambled to lead the way, practically running to keep up with Ethan's frantic pace.When they reached the hospital room, Ethan shoved the door open so violently it slammed against the wall with a bang."Wait, Alpha, you can't go in there right now!"A head

His mother's voice rose to a furious shriek through the phone speaker. "You shameless woman! How dare you trample on someone else's love like this? Aren't you afraid the Moon Goddess will punish you?"The recording crackled with static as Ivy's voice came through, dripping with contempt and amusement."Punish me? Please. I'm just smart enough to know what I want and how to get it. Your precious son is nothing but a lovesick puppy who comes running every time I crook my finger."Ethan's face went ashen. His hands clenched into fists at his sides."The funniest part," Ivy continued in the recording, "is watching him throw away that pathetic girl who actually loves him. Rachel is so boring and predictable. At least with Ethan, I get entertainment value watching him suffer."The other person laughed scornfully, and the recording cut off abruptly.Ethan stood there stunned, his world tilting on its axis. His breathing became shallow and rapid. This was completely different from what he'd im

After leaving the hospital, I felt an obsession driving me home. My legs moved on autopilot through the empty streets. The world around me felt surreal, like I was walking through a dream.I knew it was time. Time to return.When I opened my eyes again, everything felt wrong. The light streaming through my window was too bright, the air too clean. I instinctively reached for the wall to steady myself, my head spinning violently.My temples throbbed with sharp, stabbing pains. It felt like someone was driving nails into my skull.I realized I was back—twelve years later. But this time, history had changed.The room looked different. Instead of the sparse, clinical space I remembered, there were warm touches everywhere. Photos on the nightstand. Books scattered on the desk. A coffee mug with "World's Best Professor" printed on it.This wasn't the life I remembered living.A flood of new memories suddenly crashed into my mind like a tsunami. They hit me so hard I gasped, clutching my hea

I blinked, focusing on the young woman standing beside my desk. Sarah, one of my graduate students. She had concerned brown eyes and was holding my phone out to me."How long was I...?" I started to ask."About ten minutes," she said gently. "You seemed to zone out during our research discussion. Are you feeling alright? You look pale."I realized I was in my university office, not my bedroom. The memories were still settling, reality and recollection blurring together."I'm fine," I said, taking the phone from her. "Just tired. Thank you, Sarah."She nodded but didn't leave immediately. "The caller ID says 'Mom.' Should I tell her you'll call back?"I snapped back to reality completely and gently thanked her. "No, I'll take it. Could you give me a moment?"She nodded and stepped out, closing the door behind her.The caller was Mom—Ethan's mother, who'd raised me as her own. I immediately answered."Rachel, dear, I hope I'm not interrupting your classes."Her warm voice brought instant

His mother spat in disgust, her face twisting with contempt. "Evil gets its reward. Even though she was saved from that injury, her life isn't going well now."She leaned forward, lowering her voice like she was sharing pack gossip. "I heard she tried to be someone's mistress recently and got caught by the original mate. She was beaten badly—black eye, broken ribs, the works. Now everyone on the street shuns her. No decent pack will take her in."His father shook his head grimly. "She made her bed with all those lies and manipulations. Now she has to lie in it."I sighed, agreeing with his father's sentiment. "What goes around comes around. Good and evil always get their due.""Exactly," his mother continued, her voice getting more animated. "And you know what the worst part is? She's been trying to contact Ethan again. Can you believe the audacity? After everything she put him through, she still thinks she can crawl back."My stomach tightened at that news. "Has she... has she succeed
