Chapter 1

"He is the only true heir to my throne. I must take him back."That day, the Alpha King descended upon our remote little pack with his royal soldiers.He pointed at Jasper—the man I had saved a year ago in the wilderness, my fated mate—and with those words, he shattered my entire world.I remember feeling this tight knot in my chest, because I'd always known Jasper was different. When I'd saved him from falling off that cliff last winter, I could feel something about him. I guessed it was his Alpha blood, but I wasn't totally sure back then.Now, his secret was out in the open. And me? I was still scrubbing dishes in the corner, because that was an Omega's duty, while everyone else cheered and celebrated.But Jasper… he stayed calm. He looked the Alpha King dead in the eyes and said,“I’m taking my pup Liam and Amelia back to the Shadowfang pack.”Yes. Amelia. Not me.In my last life, only their favorite she-wolf, Amelia, also the Beta's daughter, got to leave with them.When I broke

Chapter 2

In my last life, Lily never gave up on Jasper. My wolf begged me almost every day, but I never had time, or maybe I just didn't have the courage. I kept telling myself I'd go tomorrow, or next week.Then one afternoon, I collapsed. I woke up in the pack clinic, dizzy, my body heavy like lead. The healer looked at me with pity in her eyes and said, "You've only got a few days, Lydia. Rest, if you can."A few days. That was it.I finally asked the Luna for leave. She didn't ask why, maybe she saw it in my face. I packed what little I owned, shifted into my wolf form, and ran. My paws tore across dirt, rock, and snow, chasing a scent I could never forget.I didn't know if it was a week or a month before I finally reached the Shadowfang border. My fur was matted, my legs ached, but I could hear music. Smell roasted meat. They were celebrating. I realized, with a punch to the gut, it was Liam's coming-of-age.I saw him in the crowd, tall now, wearing the Shadowfang colors. My he

Chapter 3

The smell of dried herbs hit me as soon as I stepped into the pack clinic. The air was warm, a mix of sage, mint, and something bitter that made the back of my throat tingle, wolfsbane. The healer, Meryl, looked up from her worktable, her silver hair braided down her back. She was one of the few people in the pack who never took sides, never got caught up in the gossip.When I'd asked her the first time if she'd teach me, she didn't even hesitate. "Sure," she'd said, wiping her hands on her apron. "If you're willing to do the work, I'll show you everything I know."So I stayed. For weeks. Morning till evening, I was in that clinic sorting roots, grinding leaves, boiling tinctures until my clothes smelled like a walking apothecary. Meryl showed me how to tell herbs apart by their texture, how to crush wolfsbane without getting poisoned, and how to mix antidotes so precise that even a drop too much could kill a wolf instead of saving them.It gave me something to focus on, somethi

Chapter 4

I don't think Jasper or Liam ever thought the sweet, obedient Omega they used to know could turn so cold toward them. But I did. I'd had enough.Jasper had been trying to mind-link me more often than before, especially when he was over at the Shadowfang Pack. I could feel him reaching out, but I didn't have the time, or the energy, to answer. I was buried in my medical training, spending most days with Meryl. She wasn't the easiest mentor, but she was fair.One afternoon, after I'd stitched up a nasty gash on a young warrior, Meryl gave me this rare smile. "You're the best assistant I've ever had," she said.I froze for a second, because I couldn't remember the last time I'd been praised like that. Not by Jasper. Definitely not by Liam."Thanks," I told her. And I meant it.The truth? "Thank you" was the nicest thing Jasper had ever said to me. And Liam, my own son, hadn't even said those two words to me once in his life.Meanwhile, at Shadowfang, Amelia had slid right into the rol

Chapter 5

I was gonna rent a little place near the Shadowfang territory. Folks called it "the edge lands," where you weren't exactly in the pack, but you were close enough to feel their protection. The place was under the Alpha King's rule, or maybe one of his top wolves ran it. I wasn't sure, and honestly, I didn't care.All I knew was, they didn't treat Omegas like dirt. Rumor was, an Omega could live there without getting shoved to the bottom of the food chain.I finally made it. My new place was nothing fancy, just a small cabin tucked at the edge of the borderlands. The air was sharper here, wild. It smelled of pine and damp earth, a little lonelier, but it was freedom. Every breath reminded me I was out of Silvermoon, away from their stares and whispers.Still, the bond made sure he wasn’t really gone. That first night, I tossed and turned, rolling over again and again. My body wanted rest, but my chest ached like someone had tied a rope around my ribs and kept tugging. I hated t

Chapter 6

Jasper’s POVThe night had been restless. Liam’s words earlier still echoed in my head, and maybe he had voiced what ’d been too afraid to admit. He wanted his mother back, and deep down, I wanted her too. My wolf, Jacob, had been nagging me for days, pushing, growling, restless before, and now quiet, motionless, and dumb, until I couldn’t take it anymore.So that morning, I finally asked Liam straight out.“Liam,” I said, watching him carefully, “are you willing to go back to the Silvermoon pack to get your mom?”He looked at me, his young face caught between hope and fear. Then he nodded, firm. “Yes. I want her back.”Something heavy lifted from my chest. At least I wasn’t the only one thinking it.Before we could even start planning, though, Amelia noticed us packing. She stood in the doorway with her arms crossed, brows pinched.“Where are you two going?” she asked, her voice sharp.I shot Liam a quick look, raising my eyebrows, trying to tell him don’t say anything. But the boy

Chapter 7

Jasper’s POVAfter days of traveling, dust and exhaustion clinging to us like a second skin, Liam and I finally crossed the border of Silvermoon pack. The cold mountain air bit at my lungs, and the tall pines stretched like guardians around their territory. My wolf was restless, pushing inside my chest. He wanted to find her. He wanted to see Lydia.I rubbed my temples and exhaled. *Steady now. First things first.*“Go, Liam,” I told my son, my voice rough from the long road. “Ask the healer to help us. I’ll go find your mom.”Liam shook his head fast, his eyes stubborn and too much like mine. “No, Dad. I’m not just gonna sit around while you find her. I’m going too. Why don’t you talk to the healer instead, and I’ll find Mom?”I clenched my jaw. That boy was getting bold, too bold. For a moment, irritation flickered, but I swallowed it down. He wasn’t wrong to want his mother. “How about this,” I muttered. “We talk to the healer soon, and then get to see your mom.”We made our w

Chapter 8

Lydia’s POVI never thought my life would settle into something steady after leaving Silvermoon. But out here, at the very edge of the pack’s territory, I finally found a place that felt… respectful. No one looked at me like I was worthless, not anymore.Meryl had been the one to change everything for me. She wasn’t just a healer; she was patient, tough, and sharper than any Alpha I’d ever met. Under her teaching, I learned how to treat wounds, how to tell when a fever was about to break, how to use herbs to draw out poison, even how to set bones when warriors came limping back from rogue fights.Day by day, my hands grew steadier. The first time I stitched up a boy’s arm after he’d been torn open in training, he looked at me like I’d saved his world. Maybe I had. After that, people started coming to me for help.Pretty soon, it wasn’t just the wolves from the outer huts. Rogues, those living just outside the boundaries, the ones no one wanted to claim, started showing up too. At f

Chapter 9

Brayden’s face went pale when Jasper said I was his mate. His jaw flexed, but instead of shouting, he lowered his voice, almost like he was trying to keep control.“Then tell me,” Brayden asked, eyes narrowing on Jasper, “why the hell did you leave her out there? Huh? Why did you let her live alone on the edge land if she’s your mate?”Jasper’s brows furrowed deep. He didn’t answer fast enough, and I felt the air grow heavy.Before Jasper could open his mouth, Liam shoved past him and ran straight into my room. The boy flung himself at me, wrapping his small arms tight around my waist.“Mom!” he cried, voice breaking, “are you trying to dump me? Dad and I waited for you in Silvermoon pack, but you never came back! You just left us there!”I froze. My arms stayed stiff at my sides. I tried to pull back from his grip, to breathe, to steady myself. Liam’s scent, the little warmth of his body, all of it clawed at me, but I forced myself to stand still.When he realized I wasn’t hugging him

Chapter 10

My words slipped out before I could even think.“H-Hell no!” His voice cracked with raw disbelief. The desire in his gaze dimmed instantly, replaced by something wounded. Even his wolf, Jacob, whimpered and went silent inside his chest.The silence between us was thick. For once, Jasper didn’t fight back. He looked at me with that desperate, almost lost look, then finally muttered, “You need to cool down. I’ll give you some space.”He left the room, the door clicking softly behind him.I barely had a moment to breathe when Amelia stormed in.Her voice was dripping with smugness as she crossed her arms. “Lydia, the Alpha King says you could give it a shot. Treat him. Since Jasper failed to bring the healer, and you once studied under one. But...” she tilted her head, smirking, “you should know the risk. If you fail to cure the Alpha King, you’ll be buried right next to him.”Her tone was venom, her smile almost gleeful at the thought.I shrugged, trying not to give her the satisfaction
