After my rebirth, I watched coldly as my "fallen" mate, Liam, returned in disguise—posing as my sister's mate, Jacob.In my past life, I had believed that same lie.This time, I would make him pay for his betrayal.I stood before Liam's coffin, staring at the face identical to Jacob's."Elena, you must decide." Alpha Arthur's voice echoed through the great hall. "As his fated mate, you may remain loyal to Liam's memory and serve as the eternal guardian of our pack. Or…"He paused, his gaze sweeping across the gathered werewolves."You may plead with the Moon Goddess to release you from the bond… and reclaim your freedom."Jacob and Liam were Arthur's twin sons. A year ago, during the council, Jacob had been named heir and acknowledged as my sister Isabella's destined mate.The hall fell into silence, every breath held as they waited for my answer.Isabella touched my shoulder gently, her voice sweet as honey. "Elena, Liam loved you so much. How could you…""I choose to sever

After leaving the funeral hall, Kael and I returned to his estate.The servants greeted us with respectful bows, yet I could feel their curious stares and hear the whispers behind my back."I never thought Ms. Elena would actually sever her mate bond…""She lost her mate and immediately took another—how could that be appropriate?""Shh! Keep your voice down. Kael will hear."Kael's expression darkened at once."Enough. Dismissed." His voice was low and commanding. "If I hear another word of gossip, you can all leave this house."The servants fell silent and scattered quickly.Kael turned back to me, his gaze softening. "Don't listen to them."He led me into the master chamber. The air was filled with the fragrance of white roses—my favorite—and the wardrobe had already been stocked with clothing in my exact size."These…""I had them prepared," Kael said simply. "Elena, I know your situation is difficult right now, but I promise you this—you will have the best life I can giv

The hall fell into a stunned silence.All eyes were fixed on Liam and Isabella, waiting for an explanation.I exhaled and spoke. "It's useless. Give it up."Sweat rolled down Liam's forehead. "There must be a mistake in the ritual! The moonstone… it could be contaminated!""Or perhaps…" His gaze darted anxiously to the elders. "Has someone sabotaged the ceremony?"Whispers rippled through the crowd. Some glanced at me suspiciously, others stared at the still-dim moonstone.I rose slowly.My voice carried clearly across the altar."Both of them are impostors. How could they ever earn the Moon Goddess's blessing?"A silence like death fell over the crowd.Kael looked at me, slightly surprised, but there was no doubt in his expression—only puzzlement.Liam's eyes blazed with fury, mixed with a flicker of guilt and fear.From the floor, Isabella rushed toward me, crying as she wailed before the assembly."It's Elena! She's jealous that I could become Luna, so she's deliberatel

"Elena! Don't you dare slander me!" Isabella snapped without a second thought, her body trembling, her eyes a mixture of guilt and fury."I'm your sister," she said. "If I am not of pure Silver Creek blood, then what are you?"She glanced at Liam, a shadow of resentment and despair in her gaze. Then she hurried to Arthur, trying to defend herself."Alpha, I had no idea Liam was impersonating Jacob," she said, her voice trembling. "If anyone should be punished, punish him! I knew nothing!"Liam lifted his head in disbelief, his eyes swimming with the pain of betrayal.I let out a cold, bitter smile.In my previous life, I had learned too late that Liam had long harbored feelings for Isabella. He had deemed her gentle and beautiful, and though he had only met her a few times at pack gatherings, he had already become obsessed.After impersonating Jacob, he had sent her countless precious wolf relics. Yet the mate he had yearned for so deeply had abandoned him without mercy at the m

At some point, exhaustion and anxiety had pulled me into unconsciousness.Yet when I opened my eyes again, I was not in the familiar comfort of my room. I was on the Black Moon Pack's altar.Thick silver chains bound my limbs, holding me completely immobile.And before me stood Liam, his face twisted in madness, eyes glowing red with fury."Finally awake, my dearest Elena," he crooned, his deranged laughter echoing across the empty altar.The area was deserted, the wind howling through the night and whipping my hair, sending chills down my spine.I scanned the altar. It was the sacred site for the Alpha Succession Ceremony, etched with dark runes that radiated a sinister aura."You've lost your mind!" I struggled, but the chains suppressed not just my body—they sapped my strength as well."Mind? No, I've never been this lucid," Liam said, raising a sacrificial dagger that pulsed with malevolent energy. Ancient runes were carved along its blade."This is the legendary artifact,
