Chapter 1

Catherine's voice echoed in my ears like a bad dream."Why don't I take Jasper instead? Madeline's wolfless—she's too fragile. Julian's built like a warrior—he can actually protect her."I jolted awake, last life's memories crashing over me like a rogue wave during a blood moon.Before I could spit a word, Catherine played the saint, beaming at Julian. "Julian, Madeline's in your hands now. You have to keep her safe."I shot her an ice-cold glare, watching her fake-ass performance. My gut twisted to stone. Without a wolf to share the pain, I have to suffer it all on my own.In my last life, I'd fallen for that bullshit hook, line, and sinker. After she'd claimed Jasper with his powerful wolf, I'd hesitated. She'd "generously" offered a swap, acting like the perfect big sister who cared about pack bonds.What a joke. When Dad's rival pack had kidnapped us, Julian could've torn through them single-handed—his wolf was apex predator material. Catherine's wolf was strong enough to fight, to

Chapter 2

Dad's face darkened like a storm cloud, his Alpha aura pressing against the room like a physical weight."Insolent brat! The Midnight Frost pack doesn't negotiate with slaves!"His Alpha's dominance rolled over everyone present, but Julian barely flinched. That kind of resistance to an Alpha's command? It meant his bloodline was stronger than Dad wanted to admit.Julian flicked a glance my way, and I caught his scent shift—disgust mixed with something else. Pity? His voice hardened, but underneath I heard his wolf's reluctance. "I'm not defying you, Alpha. But I'm damaged goods—my wolf's unstable. I won't be suitable for serving Miss Madeline."I took a deep breath, tasting the tension and testosterone flooding the air.Yeah, I knew I wasn't Catherine material. Skinny where she was curved, brown hair where hers gleamed like spun gold. Plus, that night three years ago when rogues breached our territory during the blood moon ceremony? Catherine had been caught alone near the sacred grove,

Dad had no choice but to cave to his wolfless daughter's demands.Last life, I'd been glued to Jasper's ass like a lovesick pup, clueless about the family's supernatural business empire. Ended up alone and fucked when the wolves turned on me. This time? I was grabbing the reins with both hands. Learning the company was step one to never being powerless again.He dragged his feet, his Alpha pride wounded, but I bulldozed through his resistance. Shoved me into marketing—bottom rung, grunt work designed to break my spirit. Figured I'd bail in a week, tail between my legs like a beaten omega.Fat chance. I went beast mode: days shadowing veteran executives, nights devouring business textbooks, and supernatural commerce law. All in, no wolf instincts to guide me—just pure human determination.The results hit fast and brutal. Coworkers who'd sneered at the "broken Midnight Frost heir"? Now trying to kiss my ass as I closed deals they couldn't touch. Then rumors spread through the pack's busi

I thought being reborn would let me avoid all the dangers if I just stayed careful enough.Turns out fate had other plans—I still ended up kidnapped by Dad's rival pack.When cold steel pressed against my neck, I didn't struggle. Instead, my fingers quietly found my phone's emergency beacon, sending a silent distress call to every Midnight Frost wolf in range.I closed my eyes as the terror from my past life's kidnapping crashed over me. But this time, my heart remained strangely calm. I already knew how this would play out.The rogue leader toyed with his silver blade, voice dripping with cruel amusement. "Miss Collins, think your daddy will save you first, or that golden bastard daughter of his?"I stayed silent, just listening to the sounds outside the abandoned warehouse. My human hearing might be weaker than a wolf's, but I could still catch the distant rumble of approaching motorcycles.Sure enough, within minutes, the heavy iron doors exploded inward. Two figures burst through i

The car traveled through the night on empty highways, and by the time dawn painted the horizon pale gold, Tom pulled into a secluded harbor hidden from both human and supernatural surveillance.I stared at the cargo ship's silhouette growing clearer in the morning mist, taking a deep breath of salt air that tasted like freedom.Tom handed me a black briefcase containing new identity documents and enough cash to start over. "Miss Madeline, this ship goes to the Shadowmere Crossing first, then you'll fly to the Northern Territories. Your mother established a trust fund there, and several of her old pack allies are managing business interests. They'll take care of you.""Your mother specifically asked me to keep these arrangements secret. She said if Mr. Collins ever proved unreliable, you'd need an escape route."I traced the briefcase's cold metal clasps, my eyes burning with unshed tears. Mother had never mentioned any of this while she was alive—she'd been planning my safety all along

Chapter 6

When the cargo ship docked at Shadowmere Crossing, I'd already changed into a sharp black coat that made me look less like a runaway and more like someone with purpose.Tom's contact was waiting at the pier—a Beta wolf named Marcus whose steady presence immediately put me at ease."Miss Collins, Tom filled me in on your situation," he said, his voice carrying the respectful tone reserved for pack royalty. "I'll be escorting you for the remainder of your journey. Your mother's business interests in the Northern Territories are managed by Elder Kane—he's been waiting for your arrival in Silverpine City."I kept my voice level, burying the storm of emotions beneath a calm surface. "I appreciate your help."On the flight to Silverpine City, I leaned against the window and tried to rest, but my phone buzzed with an encrypted message from Marcus. Attached was a detailed portfolio that made my breath catch.Mother's hidden empire included luxury hotels, art galleries, and significant shares i

Chapter 7

Outside the Alpha's study in Midnight Frost Packhouse, Jasper pressed his ear to the heavy oak door, listening to the rage echoing from within.The sharp crack of Collins' walking stick against marble punctuated every word. "Incompetent fools! You couldn't even keep track of one weak human! If Madeline is truly dead, what happens to everything her mother left behind?"Catherine's voice carried a perfectly pitched sob. "Father, please don't be angry. We did our best. Maybe Madeline just got scared and ran—she'll probably come crawling back in a few days."Collins' laugh was ice-cold. "Come back? If she's stupid enough to return, I'll make sure she never speaks again."Jasper's claws extended involuntarily, piercing his palms as his fists clenched. The memory of Madeline's eerily calm expression in that warehouse haunted him, along with the too-convenient bookmark left in the alley.Julian appeared from the shadows, his Beta instincts allowing him to move silently through the packhouse.

Chapter 8

Both brothers withdrew their arms from Catherine's grasp with deliberate coldness, their movements carrying an unprecedented distance that made her wolf whimper in confusion.Catherine's smile faltered for just a moment before she recovered, her voice taking on that practiced sweetness. "What's wrong? Are you still upset about Madeline? I miss her too, you know."Jasper cut her off, his gaze sharp as winter ice. "Do you really miss her?"Something predatory in his tone made Catherine's pulse spike. She forced tears to well in her eyes, a trick that had never failed her before. "Jasper, why would you ask that? Madeline and I had our little spats, but she's still my sister."Jasper's voice was quiet, but each word rang clear as a bell. "In that warehouse, you watched the rogue's blade press against her throat and didn't even cry out for help.""You even looked back at her once. I saw the satisfaction in your eyes—I wasn't imagining it, was I?"Catherine's face went ashen, her gaze dartin

Chapter 9

Meanwhile, I was methodically taking control of my mother's legacy within the Northern Pack's territory.Kane guided me through each company's operations, introducing key partners and allies. My days were full and purposeful—I had no time to waste thinking about the Collins Pack and their machinations.That afternoon, I was examining paintings in my mother's private gallery when Kane entered, his expression troubled. "Miss, there's something you should know."I set down the canvas I'd been studying. "What is it?""Jasper and Julian have been searching for you. Their scouts have already reached Northern Pack territory."I paused, then let out a cold laugh. "What could they possibly want with me?"Kane shook his head grimly. "Hard to say, but they're making quite a commotion. They'll likely find this place soon. Should I arrange for you to relocate temporarily?""No need." I turned back to the painting—a winter landscape that reminded me of freedom. "I have nothing to fear from them. If

Chapter 10

Half a month later, news of Collins Family Group's stock collapse reached the Northern Pack territory.Through my mother's offshore shell companies, I had anonymously leaked portions of my father's embezzlement evidence. The scandals he'd buried for years surged forth like a tide—banks called in loans, partners terminated contracts, and reporters swarmed the Collins estate daily.Kane delivered the latest intelligence. "Collins is pinning all the blame on Catherine, claiming she conspired with outsiders to hollow out the company.""Jasper and Julian have severed ties with the Collins Pack. They're now being hunted by Collins' enemies."I flipped through the documents, pausing at a particular page—proof of ownership for a biotechnology company under my mother's name. In our past life, my father had schemed desperately to gain control of this company, but could never locate the encryption keys for their core research.I closed the file. "It's time Collins learned what it truly means to h
