Semua Bab Rebirth: Swapped Men, Swapped Fates: Bab 1 - Bab 8

Once I get reborn, the first thing I will do is swap mates with my cousin, Clara Evonfall.In my previous life, Clara and I had held our mate-bonding ceremonies on the same day. Clara, a docile and gentle she-wolf, was forced to become the mate of Gilbert Vargas, the cold and aloof Alpha of the Bloodthorn pack. On their bonding anniversary, Gilbert abandoned Clara just so he could be with his childhood sweetheart, Joanna Penning. Because of that incident, Clara and Gilbert gave each other the cold shoulder for the next 50 years. As for me, I've dreamed of becoming a Gamma warrior since I was a pup. But I ended up forming a mate bond with Oliver Stanton, a Beta playboy.Oliver disliked me for not being romantic enough, saying that I didn't know how to doll myself up for him. We argued with each other every day to the point that he rarely came home.When I open my eyes again, I realize that Clara and I have returned to the timeframe of two days before our bonding ceremonies...."You

Joanna shrieked, "What the hell do you think you're doing?"The atmosphere became eerily silent. Everyone stared at me in shock and disbelief. I could sense the reproach in their gazes. They must have thought of me as a lunatic who did whatever she wanted.Go ahead and watch the chaos, then.How dare Joanna and Gilbert humiliate me at my bonding ceremony! I wasn't Clara—she could endure being humiliated, whereas I would never tolerate that.I merely raised my chin calmly at Joanna. "Are you angry at me? Judging from how close you two were when you were chatting earlier, I thought you had replaced me as the bride. Since you're that eager to wear the Luna's veil, I'll just give it to you. You should be thanking me, you know."Joanna's cheeks went bright red at my words. An idea popped into her head, though, prompting her to turn to Gilbert and speak in a pretentious tone."Just look at her, Alpha Gilbert! I was just envious that she got to be with a husband as amazing as you, so I

When I regained my consciousness, I found myself lying on a sick bed in the infirmary of the Bloodthorn pack. Bright sunlight poured through the window, as though yesterday's nightmare never happened to me.To my surprise, both my mother and Clara were actually sitting by my bed. When they saw me stirring awake, Mom berated me with red-rimmed eyes right away."You fool! You almost gave me a heart attack! Thank goodness Clara and I came over right away to look for you the moment I heard that Alpha Gilbert forced you to go through etiquette lessons! Otherwise, you'd have died!"Clara held my hand as well, her tears streaming down her cheeks."This is all my fault, Alyssa. If it weren't for me, you'd never have gone through this suffering. We're going home right now. Let's just forget about the bonding pact and the Alpha!"Warmth surged into my heart when I saw how worried Mom and Clara were.Right… I still had my family with me. I wasn't alone at all."Mom, Clara, I'm fine," I s

Despite my rejection, Gilbert never gave up. He poured all of his obsession into winning me back. He no longer stopped me from pursuing my dream. Instead, he changed his tactic in an attempt to integrate into my life by using his authority as the Alpha to become the chief examiner of my batch's final exam.The final exam was set to be a three-day wilderness survival combat exercise. All the recruits were split into two teams—red and blue. We were to fight each other in a specified area of the forest. In order to win, our team had to either steal the opposing team's flag successfully or take out our enemy team in combat.I was placed in the blue team. On top of that, I was even nominated as the team captain. After the combat exercise started, I led the blue team to a string of decisive victories by relying on my sharp terrain awareness and decisive tactical command. Soon, we were able to figure out the general position of the red team's main force.But when we were about to launc
