CHAPTER 1 – The Wrong Mate

I told myself it was nothing. Just Braxton Hicks. Just stress from the pack integration.I'd been telling myself that for weeks now. Ignoring the way my wolf had gone silent, retreating so deep I could barely feel her. Ignoring the way Asher's touch had turned cold. Ignoring the way the mark on my neck – the crescent moon that should have pulsed with our bond – had begun to burn like a brand.The blood came – wrong and hot, pouring down my thighs in a rush that could only mean one thing: I was losing my baby.That's when I screamed."Asher!" His name tore from my throat as my knees buckled. I caught the edge of our bed, white-knuckling the sheets as pain rolled through me. The bedroom swam – soft grays and whites, his pack's colors. Eighteen months of living here. Five months of carrying his child.The door crashed open. Asher was across the room in three strides, catching me as I fell."I've got you," he said, voice rough with fear. "The bond will – "He pressed his hand over the mar

CHAPTER 2 – Two Years Earlier

I woke up gasping, my hands clutching a flat stomach that had been swollen with child three seconds ago.The first thing I noticed was the silence inside me. My wolf was loud again – snarling, pacing, furious. After eighteen months of near-silence, her presence was so overwhelming I pressed my hands to my temples.WRONG WRONG WRONG, she howled. GET AWAY FIND THE RIGHT ONE.Her voice was clearer than it had been in months – sharper, like she was finally awake after a long drugged sleep. She couldn't tell me facts, but she could feel the truth. And this was wrong.I sat there, hands pressed to my flat stomach, trying to reconcile the phantom weight of pregnancy with the reality of nothing. The baby I'd carried – the daughter I'd felt kick just once – was gone. Not dead. Never conceived. The absence was its own kind of agony.My wolf wouldn't stop howling – a sound of pure rage that made my skull ache."Stop," I whispered. "I need to think."But thinking required knowing when I was. Wher

CHAPTER 3 – The Wolf Speaks

Lena's room was exactly as I remembered – training gear everywhere, photos of us covering one wall, the scent of her coconut shampoo. Safe. Familiar.She closed the door and turned to face me, arms crossed. "Okay. Talk. What's going on?"I stood there, trying to find words for the impossible. How do you tell someone you've died and come back? That you've lived eighteen months in a false bond that killed you and your baby? That tomorrow's ceremony is a trap?"You're going to think I'm insane," I warned."Already thinking it. Keep going."I took a breath. "What if I told you that I've already lived through this? That I mated Asher tomorrow, lived with him for eighteen months, and died?"Lena stared at me. "That's... Kira, that doesn't make sense.""I know." I pressed my hands to my temples, where my wolf was still howling. "But I remember it. All of it. The mating ceremony. Moving to his pack house. Getting pregnant. And then – " My voice cracked. "The miscarriage. Dying on his bedroom

CHAPTER 4 – Gravity

"Kira." Lena's hand on my shoulder, her voice sounding far away. "Who is that?""I don't – " My voice came out rough. "Who is he?""That's Rowan. Alpha of the Black River Pack. He arrived last night for alliance talks with your dad." She paused, studying my face. "Why do you look like you're about to pass out?"Rowan. Black River Pack.I'd never heard of him. Never met him in my first timeline. But my wolf knew him, had been searching for him, screaming about the wrong mate because this was the right one."I need to go," I said suddenly."Go where?""Down there. Training grounds. I need to – " I didn't have a good excuse. My brain had short-circuited the moment our eyes met. "I need to move. Clear my head.""Kira – ""Please." I looked at her. "I know I'm not making sense. But I need to do this."She studied me for a long moment, then sighed. "Fine. But I'm coming with you. And you're going to explain what just happened."I changed quickly, pulling on training clothes with shaking han

CHAPTER 5 – Electric

"You," Rowan said again, his voice rough. "It's you."I couldn't speak. The mate bond was singing between us, so strong I could almost see it – a golden thread connecting us.My wolf was howling. Finally. Our mate. OURS.But he wasn't mine. He couldn't be. Because tomorrow, I was supposed to stand at an altar and let another man mark me."Kira." Lena's hand on my arm. "What's going on? You know him?""No. I've never met him."But my wolf knew him. Had known him the moment I caught his scent."Then why – " Lena looked between us, understanding dawning. "Oh no. That's a mate pull. But you can't – you're mating Asher tomorrow – ""I know."Rowan took a step forward, then stopped. His hands were clenched into fists, every muscle tense."We need to talk," he said, voice controlled but edged. "Privately.""That's not a good idea.""I don't care." The words surprised me, but they were true. I'd died once already. What did scandal matter compared to that?I followed him to the forest line, ig

Chapter 6 – Unlikely Ally

I made it to my room before the shaking started.I pressed my back against the door and slid down to the floor, wrapping my arms around my knees. My wolf was still howling, a constant keening sound that made my head throb.We should have gone after him. We should have told him the truth. He's OUR MATE—"I know," I whispered to the empty room. "I know."Then why are we here? Why aren't we running to him right now?"Because I don't know how to save everyone." My voice cracked. "If I call off the ceremony, Seraphine will know something's wrong. She'll hurt Dad. Maybe kill him outright."And if you go through with it, the false bond will kill US. Again.She was right. I'd felt it in the original timeline — the way the bond had slowly drained me, made me weaker, quieter. My wolf had gone silent because the false bond was poisoning us both.Now that I knew what it was, would my body fight it harder? Would I have even less time than the eighteen months I'd survived before?* * *I pulled myse

CHAPTER 7 – Dinner with Ghosts

The rest of the afternoon passed in a blur of preparations I didn't want and smiles I didn't mean. By the time the sun started setting, I'd been summoned to dinner.Lena returned from the guest quarters with news that Rowan had agreed to stay — barely. She said he'd looked at her like she was delivering a death sentence, but he'd nodded. Said he'd be at the ceremony tomorrow.I didn't know if that made things better or worse.* * *The dinner wasn't a casual family meal, but a formal pre-ceremony celebration. Asher's parents had arrived that afternoon, along with several high-ranking members of his pack. It was tradition — the two families breaking bread together before the union.In the original timeline, I'd been excited. Nervous, but thrilled to meet my future in-laws properly.Now, I had to sit through dinner with people who'd benefited from a lie that would eventually kill me.I dressed carefully — a simple blue dress that Lena had laid out, my hair pulled back. I looked like a b

CHAPTER 8 – The Witch's Quarters

I waited until midnight.The pack house had finally gone quiet, the last of the dinner guests retiring to their rooms. I'd changed into dark clothes — black leggings, a fitted shirt, soft-soled shoes that wouldn't make noise on the hardwood floors.My wolf was alert, feeding me enhanced senses. I could hear heartbeats through walls, smell who had passed through each hallway in the last few hours. Seraphine's scent was everywhere, but strongest leading toward the east wing.I slipped out of my room and moved through the shadows. The plan was simple: Asher would create a distraction in the main hall — something about checking security for tomorrow's ceremony. It would draw Seraphine and any guards away from her quarters long enough for me to search.Simple. Except if I got caught, there was no explanation that wouldn't sound insane.* * *I made it to the east wing without incident. Seraphine's suite was at the end of a long corridor, away from the other guest rooms. Private. Isolated.

CHAPTER 10 – The Poisoned Mark

Each step felt like walking to my execution. The aisle stretched endlessly before me. My father's hand trembled on my arm — whether from his curse or his own doubts, I couldn't tell.The crowd's excited whispers washed over me."She's beautiful." "They make such a lovely pair." "Blessed by the Moon Goddess."Lies. All lies.Halfway down the aisle, I felt Rowan's gaze burning into me. I couldn't look at him. If I did, if I saw the pain in his eyes, I might break. Might stop walking. Might ruin everything.My father's steps grew slower as we neared the altar. He was resisting, some part of him recognizing the wrongness even through the curse."Dad," I whispered. "It's okay."

CHAPTER 9 – The Failed Bond

I woke to someone shaking my shoulder."Kira. Kira, wake up. It's time."Lena's voice. Urgent but trying to sound cheerful.I opened my eyes. Sunlight streamed through my window — bright, midmorning light. The ceremony started at noon.I was in my bed. Still wearing yesterday's clothes. My head felt stuffed with cotton, my thoughts slow and sticky.Drugged. She hit us with sleep magic. But it didn't take all the way.My wolf's voice was weak.The memories crashed back: Seraphine's quarters, the journal, the confession, the spell—I sat up too fast. The room spun."Easy," Lena said, steadying me. "You okay? You look terrible.""What time is it?""Ten-thirty. I've been trying to wake you for twenty minutes." She frowned. "I found you passed out on your floor this morning, still in your clothes. What happened?"Seraphine must have moved me. Staged it to look like I'd just collapsed from stress."I'm fine," I lied. "Just... pre-ceremony nerves.""Well, at least you're already dressed." Le
