Chapter 1

When my sister threw herself into the arms of the masked man, I knew that she had reincarnated too.In our last life, when she saw the handsome face of Yoran the Alpha lycan, she promptly threw herself at him as if bewitched.At the same time, she tripped me in front of the masked man."Oh, I'm so sorry, Erin—I didn't mean to. But someone as ugly as you really doesn't suit an Alpha." Then, leering at the masked man behind me in disdain, she scoffed, "The way I see it, you suit him way more."When I looked up at the masked man, I shuddered from his sinister presence.But before I could reject him, he grabbed my wrist, dropped some money on the counter, and dragged me outside.This time, however, she had clearly changed her mind—she tripped me again, but this time into Yoran's arms, while she walked straight to the masked man, Sion.She then spoke sonorously, "Please take me as your slave!"Our parents were in the crowd, and both of them were stunned.Years ago, we had fallen

Chapter 2

In my last life, I had been taken away from the auction hall without being given a choice, while Joey happily held hands with Yoran as they left.Our fate would have been polar opposites as expected—Joey would become the Alpha's treasure, reveling in endless prestige.As for me, my fate was unknown, reduced to an unknown figure's plaything.What Joey didn't expect was for Yoran to treat her so coolly and never take her to bed.Even as Joey fumed, she found out that Sion was a vampire whose wealth could match nations, and so became jealous.Later on, Yoran mauled her to death in his madness under the full moon, allegedly tearing through her throat while the rest of her was left in pieces.As her resentment burgeoned, she became a vengeful spirit that haunted me endlessly after death, unhappy that the same sister she had treated so insignificantly was doing well.She was in denial.It only got worse as Sion clearly treated me well, where Yoran had treated her so coldly.He would bring me

Chapter 3

Afraid to move, my heart thumped even louder.I did my best to tell myself that this was my place as a slave, but I couldn't get used to it.After all, I came from a rich family too. "Why are you trembling? Are you scared?"Hearing the deep voice, I looked up and suddenly found his face not all that scary.And then there were those eyes that gleamed as brightly as the stars."I'm not scared, but just a little hungry."How would a few slices of bread ever fill a stomach?After a while, he laughed cheerfully. "My Uncle Ben told me to pick a slave… I guess I picked someone amusing."Uncle Ben? As in his third uncle? The same pack elder who would instigate infighting and later assassinate Yoran himself?Still, I kept my head down while Yoran summoned a servant, who brought so many dishes that they covered the entire table.Just the scent of food was enough to make me drool."Sit. Eat."He spoke to me with a surprisingly gentle voice.I hesitated for a moment but eventually sat down and wo

Chapter 4

However, I hid my surprise and leaned in to whisper, "What's going on here?"Yoran simply flashed a roguish grin. "Just work with me. When we're done, I'll set you free."Joey was left ashen-faced watching us flirt. Eventually, she scoffed. "Oh, how lucky you are, getting pregnant so soon. I guess the rumors of you being neglected were false."Hearing that, Yoran turned and frowned at Joey. "It's not up to you to meddle in my private affairs, ma'am."Joey's face pale when she saw Yoran's eyes, and she started trembling.She must have remembered how horribly she had died in her past life.As she was the one who made the choice first in this life, I just hope she wouldn't regret it."Who's upsetting my baby?"Sion had come to us before I knew it, menacing for a moment but tender when he saw Joey.Joey leaned on his chest right then, pouting. "Just a little excited to see my sister. Come on, you're making a scene."Sion looked downward at her, chuckling, "Alright, calm down. I'll buy you

Chapter 5

Seeing that I was watching Joey and Sion leave, Yoran asked, "What's on your mind?"I turned away and shook my head. "Nothing."Pausing, I asked gingerly, "Who is Sion, really?"Yoran shook his head, not appearing concerned. "He's a mystery. The pack knows nothing about him."As I lowered my gaze in silence, Yoran told me about his plan on the way home. "Uncle Ben knows I'm watching him, and since I have no other child, he's going to make a move when he learns about your pregnancy. Don't worry, I'll set you free once we're finished."I was perplexed. "But my pregnancy is fake."His lips curled up in a faint smile. "That's only something we know."I felt flustered as I could feel the pulsation on his chest, and my heart raced in tandem.Other factors notwithstanding, Yoran was really handsome. And with my 'pregnancy' becoming known, I was pampered more with each day, with countless precious stones and gourmet food pouring into my room like a waterfall.Yoran would check in ev

Chapter 6

That was when a servant ran into my room. "Help, Lady Erin! The Alpha has fallen ill!"That certainly came out of the blue, and I quickly ran to his room while sending for the doctor.No, he couldn't die!What about my freedom?!Soon, I found Yoran lying in bed, whimpering from time to time with his eyes tightly shut, his face covered in sweat.I grabbed the doctor and demanded, "What happened?"He was just as confused. "He's always been the picture of good health… Poison shouldn't have worked on him!"He left to get some antidote, while I stood there, unsure what to do.That was when Yoran suddenly sat up and vomited a violent mouthful of blood, the sickly odor almost triggering my gag reflex as well.He had been poisoned?!Still, Yoran suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes and growled, "Who asked you to come?""The servants told me you're hurt," I explained. "I was worried something would happen to you…""Out!" he rasped.I felt aggrieved for some reason. "I'm just worried…

Chapter 7

When I came to my senses, I noticed that my neck was as red as the setting sun.And it was all Yoran's fault!My heart raced uncontrollably as I clutched my chest to stop heaving. Through it all, the voice in my head kept echoing, "Stop. Don't fall for it, Erin."-Yoran didn't visit me for a long time since that day, while word of my 'miscarriage' had spread, as there was no way to fake a pregnancy with time going by anyway.The servants had a lot to say too—that it was the blessing of a lifetime for someone like me to have Yoran's affection, even if it was just for a few days.I heard them, but strangely I wasn't upset, as I was born neglected.-Days later, we had an intruder."Erin! Help!"Joey came running to my room, looking haunted and having lost a lot of weight.Seeing me, she grabbed my hand and screamed, "Sion is a monster… You have to save me!"I frowned, noticing that even makeup couldn't hide the bruise on her neck."Tell me, what happened?"Joey was still

Chapter 8

No! I didn't want this! Why did I have to suffer the same fate after reincarnating?!However, as I closed my eyes, I remembered the old tome I had read in my last life, telling me that the vampires' worst fears barring sunlight were curses.The words and intonation were difficult to master, but I'd committed two lines to memory after a long while.Even so, with my mind being a complete mess right now, I couldn't even remember the two lines."Stop struggling." Sion grinned as he reached for my clothes. "Don't worry, I'll make your death painless."No! I didn't want this!That was when the words came to my mind, and I breathed them as loud as I could.As soon as I finished the first word, Sion's smile stiffened while his hands trembled uncontrollably. "Stop! Stop!!!"However, I kept going and repeated the two lines without caring if it worked.Soon, Sion was on his knees, clutching his head, and howling repeatedly, "You bitch! Stop!"Seeing him sweat profusely and trembling end

Chapter 9

I looked Joey straight in the eye.There was jealousy, the intent to hurt… but no regret.Shrugging, I said, "You were just fine when you picked Yoran, but you're so stubborn you had to slip him aphrodisiacs. That's why he lost control and mauled you, no?"In fact, Yoran's Uncle Ben had helped her drug Yoran as Joey was getting frustrated from the sexless relationship, but it ended up as an overdose and got Joey killed.It was yet another piece of memory I found while I was unconscious.Hearing my retort, Joey's expression stiffened, her lips trembling. "H-How'd you know about that?"I smiled faintly. "You're very slow on the uptake, aren't you?""You reincarnated too?!" she cried, freezing up as she came to her senses. "So that's why you're better off than me! Twice!"I sighed. Better off than her?It was pure luck that my heart wasn't taken before, but I ended up dead anyway.How was that better off?She was just that jealous person.Still, I wondered about something el

Chapter 10

And so I bore with everything until this life, when destiny granted me a second chance, not them."I won't save her," I said. "Just pretend you never brought me to this world."And that was the last time I heard them curse at me.Now, Yoran was staring fixedly at me, and he suddenly reached out, rubbing the corner of my eye with his thumb. "Why are you crying? You're a big girl now." He smiled.My grief swelled in a split second as I could no longer stop my tears rolling down my cheeks.Yoran became flustered. "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Just don't cry, okay?"However, my tears only increased the more he tried to comfort me, and he sighed as he eventually pulled me into his arms. "What a crybaby!"-Joey's heart wasn't taken, but she was more or less finished as Sion virtually drained her dry.Even then, he kept her alive with some spell, forcing her to find fresh victims for him every day."But news has spread about him. Way fewer ladies would fall for it now," I rema
