Chapter 1

After Lidia showed up, the three men who'd once meant everything to me started despising me.But when I was really dying, everyone panicked and rushed me to the hospital.……When I opened my eyes again, I was staring at a hospital ceiling.I blinked slowly, taking five whole seconds to process the fact that I was somehow still alive.I'd driven that silver dagger straight into my heart. A wave of exhaustion and confusion washed over me.Why didn't I die? Why was even dying so damn hard?Then the Moon Goddess's familiar voice echoed in my mind.“Child, when you tried to take your own life with that silver blade, your brother appeared and saved you. I'm giving you another chance at life.”My brother... Garrett ... save me?I felt dazed, my scattered focus slowly sharpening.I was the true daughter of the Ironwood Pack’s Alpha, lost for fifteen years before being found.The day they brought me home, I heard the Moon Goddess's call.She told me the three most important men— my childhood fr

Chapter 2

I found myself drifting in these thoughts when the words slipped out of my mouth before I could stop them.Garrett froze for a second, then a mocking smirk twisted his lips."Worried about you? Nia, you are really vicious. Since it's Lidia's birthday and everyone's celebrating her, you just had to choose this moment to fake a suicide attempt for attention?"A bitter ache spread through my chest.Today was my birthday too.But they'd all forgotten."If it's such a special day for her, why are you still wasting your time on a nuisance like me?""As if I have a choice," Garrett scoffed."Lidia was worried you might be home alone and scared, so she specifically sent me back to check on you. I didn't want to deal with you, but when Lidia heard about your suicide attempt, she passed out cold. When she came to, the first thing she did was beg me to look after you. If it weren't for her kindness, you think you'd deserve even a second of my attention?"At the mention of Lidia, the ice in his ey

Chapter 3

The blade didn't manage to hurt me.Just as it was about to touch me, a strong hand shot out and wrapped around my wrist.A sharp clatter echoed through the room as the knife slipped from my grasp, clattering against the far wall before falling to the floor.Lucas was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling rapidly."Nia! How dare you do that before all of us! If you really wanted to die, you've had plenty of chances to do it quietly. Why do it now, when we're here? Who are you trying to fool?!"He roughly yanked his hand away as though I'd contaminated him."Knowing what kind of person you really are, I should've let you die in that accident. Would've saved us all from having to watch your pathetic performance!"My breath caught, and the pain of bone cancer is tormenting me, with his words pierced my heart deeply also.After Garrett had given up on me, I had pinned all my hopes on Lucas.Back then, he only saw Lidia as a sister who needed protection. Toward me, his sudden fian

"Nia!"Garrett shouted in horror and scrambled to the side of my bed.Even Lucas's eyes widened in shock, his hand instinctively reaching out to steady the swaying figure before me.From behind us, Lidia suddenly let out a dramatic sob."Nia, why did you hide blood packs in your mouth to trick us? Is it because you don't want to help me?"Garrett whirled around, his voice dark."What did you say?"Lidia blinked nervously, explaining in a halting voice."I overheard you on the phone yesterday. Nia said... she said today she'd have to stage some injuries to make you feel sorry for her.”“She also said that she had blood packs hidden on her when she pretended to kill herself, that she'd just look scary when popped. I didn't believe it at first, but...Before she could finish, Garrett cut her off in a rage and shouted to me. "Think this is funny? A woman with such a malicious heart, you still have the nerve to ask for love? You're not fit to hold a candle to Lidia at all!"The hand Lucas

Chapter 5

Damine's hand holding the surgical needle trembled violently. Sweat beaded on his forehead despite the coolness of the operating room. He blinked rapidly, trying to steady his vision.`"I don't believe this," he muttered, more to himself than to anyone else. "This can't be happening.""What the hell are you talking about?!" he roared and his voice echoing in the sterile room. "That's impossible! I've reviewed her medical records—there's no history of major surgery! How could she be missing a kidney?!"The young assistant flinched at his outburst, his face paling further. "It's true, Healer Damine!" he insisted, his voice cracking. He pointed a shaking finger at the wildly alarming heart monitor next to the operating table. "Look! Her blood pressure is plummeting, her oxygen saturation is dropping rapidly! Her heart is almost stopping!"Around them, the operating room instantly descended into chaos.Damine's mind went blank. A high-pitched ringing filled his ears, drowning out the surr

Chapter 6

The moment my consciousness sank into boundless darkness, I thought it was the end.But then, warmth seeped into me. My eyes fluttered open, and I saw the moon goddess again."...Dear moon goddess?" I whispered, my voice echoing in the vast, starry void. "My mission failed. I didn't win anyone's love."The Goddess's compassionate gaze fell upon me, her ethereal voice echoing through the space, reaching the very depths of my being. [Child, according to our agreement, with the failure of your mission and confirmation of your death, your consciousness should have completely dissipated.]I nodded, unsurprised. It felt like the natural course of events. There was no place for a failure like me. My soul should have simply faded, returning to the energy of the world.But then the Goddess's tone shifted. There was a new note in her voice, one of something that could almost be described as... concern. [However, at the instant your life functions ceased, those whose fates were deeply entwine

Chapter 7

Garrett was plunged into an ice-cold abyss, freezing him in his tracks. Damine's words — "She's dead." — pierced his heart like an ice pick, freezing him solid.Frozen at the doorway as well, was Lucas, who had rushed over after hearing the commotion.He had been uneasy, wanting to check on how Lidias surgery was going, but his feet had unconsciously led him in a different direction.He had just reached the door when he clearly heard Damine's light yet fatal words."Nia's dead?"Lucas repeated the words softly, his voice dry and gritty, as if being forced from his throat. The expression on his face shifted from initial confusion to utter, disbelieving horror.The next second, he charged into the room.He seized Damine by the collar of his gown, who was slumped on the floor, his spirit completely broken, and nearly lifted him off the ground.Lucas's voice trembled with utter terror and a sudden, rising rage, each word seeming to be torn from between his clenched teeth. "What the hell h

Chapter 8

Garrett didn't know how he got home.He shoved the front door of the villa open, ignoring the butler's concerned inquiries, and walked silently up the grand staircase to the second floor. He locked himself in his room, the heavy curtains blocking out all outside light, plunging the space into darkness. He leaned his back against the cold door, his body slowly sliding down until he was slumped on the carpet.He suddenly remembered the day I had first been brought to the Ironwood Pack. It had been a sunny afternoon, but as he recalled it now, the light seemed harsh and unpleasant.I stood in the center of the Ironwood's opulent living room, which looked more like a palace. Due to long-term malnutrition, I looked terribly small and thin, like a weed struggling to grow in a dark corner.I was wearing an old, faded shirt, so thin you could see tiny threads fraying at the seams. Its style was outdated, completely out of place in the luxurious surroundings.My hands were nervously twisting

Chapter 9

After realizing the truth, Garrett spiraled into a frenzy of investigation. He used every resource and connection he had, digging into every single event from the moment I was brought back to the Ironwood family. He pulled footage from every security camera in the mansion, hired private investigators to follow Lidia, and even recontacted the healer who had given me my initial medical exams.He saw countless moments he had previously ignored. On the security tapes, he saw Lidia "accidentally" spill red wine on her own dress as I walked by, then turning to him in tears and claiming I had pushed her. He saw Lidia secretly switching my medication with vitamins, then pretending to be a concerned friend as she rushed me to the hospital when my health failed. He saw her at family gatherings, deliberately saying things to cause misunderstandings, making everyone believe I was bullying her.Even more shocking, he uncovered the truth about Lucas's attack years ago. It wasn't, as Lidia had
