Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Saintess Chooses a Different Alpha: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

My prophecies made my mate, Alpha Kane, a king. And on the day of his coronation, he murdered me. All because his first love, Scarlett, was exiled and died after trying to poison me.The world shattered as the silver blade slid into my heart.The last thing I saw was Kane’s triumphant, hateful stare.I gasped, my eyes flying open. I was breathing hard.No fatal wound in my chest. No stench of blood in my nose, only the pine scent of the sacred fire on the Moonlight Altar.This wasn't the silence of the grave. It was the low, ritualistic chant of the packs."Saintess Mira, please choose your mate."The Elder's aged voice echoed the one from that fateful night, eight years ago.My hands trembled as I looked down at them. They were flawless.Eighteen years old. The Choosing Ceremony.I… was reborn.Memories flooded back, a torrent of pain and hatred that swallowed me whole.The Great War between the North and South had broken out. My gift of prophecy had pushed me into the role of Saintes

Back in my den, the side effects of forcing the prophecy began to set in.My wolf spirit felt like it was being torn apart, and a deep weakness settled into my limbs.As an omega, my body was already frail. Every powerful vision I had burned away a piece of my life.That’s why in my last life, I was always so careful, only using my gift for the most critical moments in the war.But that scene on the training grounds... it brought back so many buried humiliations.Kane was always like that. He’d show up late after I was bullied, then immediately blame me for not being more "magnanimous."Even the truth of how we first met was a carefully crafted lie.I remembered I was crying his name before I died. Asking why. I had given him a crown. He gave me a blade. It made no sense.He stared down at me, his eyes devoid of any emotion but disgust. “Because you were stupid enough to believe it,” he whispered.Then, a familiar scent drifted from his clothes. Herbs. The same scent the bear wore li

The Elder's voice boomed like thunder, crashing down on the stunned silence."The Moon Goddess has witnessed! The destined mate chosen by Saintess Mira is—from the Shadowwood, Alpha Oliver!” Kane’s face went white.His mouth hung open, but no sound came out.He was frozen to the spot, as if he’d been struck by lightning.The entire pack erupted in a deafening roar of confusion."What?! Oliver? She chose the cursed one!""Is she insane? That monster will drain her soul and leave her a walking corpse!""She's committing suicide! The Saintess is gambling with the future of the entire North!"Scarlett just stared at me, her eyes wide with shock, as if I were a complete stranger.Ignoring the gasps, I walked slowly to the center of the altar, my voice clear and firm for all to hear."Yes. I choose Oliver."Kane finally snapped out of his shock. His face was pale, the veins in his temples throbbing."You're insane!" he roared, storming up to me like a cornered animal. "Do you have any idea

The three days of waiting were calmer than I had felt in years.No Kane pestering me, no Scarlett provoking me. I could finally think about the future.But the peace was shattered on the second night.I heard a familiar argument coming from the edge of the pack's territory."Why do you still care what she chose?!" Scarlett's voice was shrill with jealousy. "She's just a weak, useless omega!""Shut up," Kane's voice was tired and impatient. "You don't understand."I crept closer, hiding behind a large tree.Under the moonlight, Kane and Scarlett stood by a small stream. Scarlett's eyes were red and swollen; she had clearly been crying."I don't understand?" Scarlett shrieked. "I don't understand why you would humiliate yourself like that? Getting rejected in front of the entire pack?""I wasn't rejected!" Kane snarled, whirling on her. "The little fool has no idea what she's doing!""Then why don't you just give up on her?" Scarlett grabbed his arm. "Kane, we could leave. We could go so

Shadows swarmed from all sides.Before I could react, I was surrounded by three elite warriors.Their movements were fast and precise. This was a planned ambush."Don't hurt her," the lead warrior ordered. "The Alpha's orders."A cloth was pressed over my mouth and nose. The pungent smell of herbs made my head spin.Right before I blacked out, I saw Kane step out of the shadows, a triumphant glint in his eyes.When I woke up, I was trapped deep inside a cave.Glowing crystals embedded in the stone walls provided a dim light.I was surrounded by solid rock. There was no escape."You're awake."Kane sat at the cave's entrance, two guards standing behind him."Let me out." I struggled to my feet."No." Kane shook his head. "We need to have a serious talk."He waved the guards away, then slowly walked toward me."Mira, I love you."I thought I'd misheard him."What?""To prove my love for you," he said, his eyes burning with a terrifying sincerity, "I executed Scarlett."My blood ran cold.
