All Chapters of My Reborn Daughter Changes My Life: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Lyra didn't finish her sentence, but I knew it couldn't have been anything good.Outside the door came Kael's heavy, distinct footsteps.Lyra immediately wiped away her tears and slipped out of my arms. Then she ran back to the couch and picked up a scroll of parchment.By the time the door opened, she had already unrolled it and was pointing at a symbol. "Mom, this wind-wolf totem is so pretty."Kael walked in, carrying a leather pouch.He glanced at me and asked, "What are you standing there for? Is dinner ready?"I didn't move.Lyra jumped off the couch and ran up to him. "Dad, Mom isn't feeling well today. How about we have the kitchen prepare something simple?"Kael frowned. "What are you making a fuss about again?""I'm not," Lyra said, looking up at him with a sweet smile. "I just want some berry pie. We've been eating Mom's roasted meat every day, and I'm getting tired of it. Let's have something different."Kael looked at me. "You're not feeling well?"I stared at h

It was already late at night by the time we got home.Pushing open the heavy oak door, I saw the fireplace in the pack house's great hall burning brightly.Kael sat in the master seat, his Alpha presence oppressive, filling the entire space."So, you still remember to come back?"Lyra stepped in front of me. "We went out for dinner.""Did I ask you?" He finally shifted his gaze to me, his golden eyes icy. "Elara, you've grown bold, haven't you? Neglecting your duties as a mate, ignoring the pups, and now dressing up all fancy just to run off outside?"I stood where I was, silent.Lyra tugged at my hand and whispered, "Mom, go cleanse away the negativity in the Moon River. I'll handle the rest."I hesitated for a moment, but she nudged me. "Go."I walked down the corridor leading to the inner courtyard.As the warm water enveloped my body, I could hear the voices outside."Dad, we need to talk," Lyra said calmly."What's there to talk about with a pup like you?""About you

I turned to see Lyra standing there, her small leather pouch slung over her shoulder."Why are you here?" I asked."I asked Elder Ulrich's attendant to bring me," Lyra replied.She walked to the table and pulled out a memory crystal from her pouch."Elder Ulrich, this is from my dad's hidden chamber in his study. It contains records of the pack's recent trade transactions and his private accounts."She pushed the crystal forward. "His current estimated wealth in the pack is around 80 thousand silver coins. According to the law, my mom is entitled to half. However, the actual assets aren't that substantial."Since much of that value is inflated, I'd advise her to seek cash and territorial concessions. The honors and titles can be sold back to him at a discount."After taking the crystal, Elder Ulrich glanced at Lyra, then at me."Elara, your daughter—""I know. She certainly is special," I replied.Lyra climbed onto the chair next to me and sat down. "Elder Ulrich, there's one

Gradually, Lyra drifted off to sleep. She was utterly exhausted. After all, a five-year-old body couldn't carry a twenty-five-year-old soul for too long.I sat there, listening to her steady breathing, and watched as the woods outside the window slowly disappeared into the night.The communication crystal lit up with a mind-link message from Kael."We need to talk.""I'll convey my terms through Elder Ulrich," I replied.Then, I severed the mind-link between us.The moment it broke, I felt as if a part of my soul was torn away. But that emptiness was soon filled again, because Lyra turned over in her sleep and mumbled, "Mom, don't be scared."I wasn't afraid anymore. For real, this time.Kael remained silent for three days after I severed the mind-link.During those three days, Lyra had me change all the rune passwords on my private rune chest, close our shared pack resource account, and made sure I retrieved every last heirloom my mother had left from Freya's keeping.Over t

After that day, Kael didn't come to our door again. But the gossip within the pack grew louder.He began striking back in the Council, accusing me of hiding a hereditary wolf defect before our mating, claiming I had mental issues, and insisting I was unfit to raise pups with Alpha blood.He even brought in a few "respected" elders from the pack to testify that I frequently lost control of my emotions in the pack house, smashing vessels and mistreating the pups.Before the first formal hearing, Lyra helped me get ready."Mom, you need to look sharp today," she said as she fastened a moonstone earring for me. "The elders are werewolves too, so they respect strength, not weakness."I smiled. "Where did you learn all this?""I experienced plenty of it in my previous life," she replied. "Every powerful Alpha Female carried an intimidating presence. It wasn't about beauty, but authority."Once she finished helping me, she stepped back and looked me over. "There. You look like a true L
