Chapter 1

My hands still trembled as I filed the petition to sever our mate bond."The full moon is in seven days. The ritual will be complete then." The council's scribe looked at me, his face a cold mask. "Regina, are you sure you want to sever your fated bond with Alpha Xander?""I'm sure."My voice was surprisingly calm.Walking out of the council hall, the setting sun stabbed at my eyes.Seven days.In seven days, I'd be free of this damned chain.I pushed open the door to our manor. The scene in the living room made me freeze.Sadie was lounging on our leather sofa, a hand resting gently on her swollen belly.And Xander walked out of the kitchen, holding a steaming bowl of herbal soup."Drink it slowly. It's hot." His voice was so gentle. That wasn't always true. A gentleness he used to show me.Before his best friend Ryan died, Xander’s world revolved around me. But his promise to look after Ryan's widowed mate, Sadie, became an obsession. His attention shifted. His nights grew longer.

I dragged my suitcase to the small suite in the side wing.This used to be my "temporary home."I lived here for the three years before our mating ceremony.Back then, Xander would always say, "Just wait until our bedroom is finished. I'm going to give you the best of everything."His eyes were full of dreams."We'll make our pack the strongest. We'll be loving mates for life."Those promises sounded so ironic now.I remember the first night we moved into the main wing.The moonlight spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Xander kissed the corner of my lips and whispered, "Regina, you are my whole world."But everything changed after Ryan died.In my last life, on our mating anniversary, I waited for him at the restaurant for three hours in a custom-made gown.The waiter kept asking if he should serve the food.Xander finally rushed in, his clothes stained with Sadie's tears."I'm sorry, Regina. Sadie suddenly got a high fever. I couldn't just leave her."On the anniversary of m

"Why would you do that?"My voice was shaking, from rage or shock, I couldn't tell.Sadie slowly got up from the bed, fixing her messy hair."Why?" She scoffed. "To survive, of course. Where was an Omega with a child supposed to go? Only an Alpha like Xander can protect us."She said it so matter-of-factly, as if betrayal and deceit were the most natural things in the world."But it's not his child!" I couldn't stop my voice from rising."So what?" Sadie looked at me with a cold smile. "Regina, do you really think he'd believe you?"She walked over to the vanity and started touching up her makeup in the mirror."He feels so guilty about Ryan. He'll do anything to protect me, no matter what I say. Even if you tell him the truth, you think he'll believe you over me?"My mouth opened, but no sound came out.Because I knew she was right.It was the same in my last life.Even when I told Xander that Sadie had framed me, he chose to believe the weeping, pitiful woman.A wave of crushing sadn

I stood at the manor gate at the agreed-upon time, wearing a simple cream-colored dress.If Xander said he would take me, then I would go.He owed me this. For all the anniversaries Sadie had ruined, this one deserved a grand finale.Soon, Xander walked out. But he wasn't alone.Sadie.She was clinging to his arm, her pregnant belly obvious in the sunlight.My heart sank to the floor."Xander, I thought we were...""I'm sorry, Regina." He avoided my gaze, looking embarrassed. "Sadie said she wanted to get some fresh air. The healer said it's good for pregnant Omegas to go out. It's good for the pup."I looked at Sadie's triumphant smirk and took a deep breath."Then let's all go together."In the car, Sadie sat in the passenger seat, chattering away with Xander."Xander, do you think our pup will be strong like you? I'm so excited..."I sat in the back, listening to them plan the future for a child that wasn't even his.My heart turned to ice.When we arrived at the city's top couture

Chapter 5

When I woke up from unconsciousness, the smell of antiseptic in the pack infirmary stung my nose.A sharp, throbbing pain came from my arm.I slowly sat up, the bandages pulling at the raw skin.The room was empty. My legs were a little weak as I got out of bed.But soon, I heard a familiar voice from the hallway."Sadie, how are you feeling? Does it still hurt?"It was Xander.I followed the sound to the next room.Through the half-open door, I saw a scene that broke my heart.Xander was sitting by the bed, holding Sadie's hand tightly.His eyes were filled with worry and pain."I thought I was going to lose you," he said, his voice trembling.Sadie leaned weakly against the pillows, her face a pale, pitiful mask."Xander, I was so scared... If something happened to me, what would happen to our baby?""It won't," Xander soothed, stroking the back of her hand. "I won't let anything harm either of you."Three healers were crowded around the bed, meticulously examining every inch of Sadi

Chapter 6

Xander floored it, tearing out of the medical building’s parking lot like a madman.The engine roared, ripping through the night. He blew through five pack checkpoints.There was only one thought in his head—Regina couldn't leave.They were fated mates. A bond blessed by the Moon Goddess. How could she just break it? Just like that?Tires screamed as Xander skidded through the manor gates.He didn't even park, just bolted straight for Regina’s room."Regina!"He threw the door open. The room was empty.All the furniture was there. But every trace of her was gone.In the walk-in closet, the treasures he’d collected for her—designer gowns, priceless jewels—were untouched.He took a deep breath. Her scent—moon-kissed roses—was so faint he could barely taste it on the air.But all of Regina's clothes were gone."No... this can't be happening..."Xander collapsed onto the edge of the bed. His hands trembled as he searched for something.He remembered their photo on the nightstand.Their fir

After Xander left, Sadie was alone in the room.Her tears stopped instantly. The look of pain vanished from her face.In its place was cold, hard fury."Hah. Devoted?" she sneered, wiping her eyes. "What a fool."She pulled a burner phone from the nightstand. One he never knew existed.She dialed a number. Her voice turned sharp and cold."It's me. I need the schedule for Alpha Ethan of the Gray Wolf pack tonight."A respectful voice answered. "Miss Sadie, Alpha Ethan will be in the VIP lounge at the Moonshadow Club at nine tonight.""Perfect." Sadie hung up. A wicked smile touched her lips.If Xander was going to be so heartless, then she wouldn't play fair either.She stroked her belly, a glint of steel in her eyes."Little one, it's time for your real father to take some responsibility."Meanwhile, Xander was driving aimlessly through the pack's central city.Beta Marcus had everyone looking for Regina. But so far, there was nothing.It was like she had vanished from the face of the

Chapter 8

Facing Xander's furious golden eyes, Ethan’s legs gave out.The crushing Alpha presence made it hard to breathe."Xander! Let me explain!" Ethan held up his hands, his voice shaking. "I'm a victim here, too!""A victim?" Xander sneered, stalking closer. "You just said it was your cub.""No!" Ethan shook his head frantically. "I mean... I mean this bitch threatened me!"He pointed at Sadie, who was cowering in the corner."That bitch is trash! You have no idea! Even when she was with Ryan, she was sleeping with other Alphas! I was just one of the unlucky ones!"Sadie's face went white. "Ethan, what are you talking about!""What am I talking about?" The threat of death made Ethan reckless. He was going all in. "I have proof!"He pulled his phone from his suit pocket and started swiping through photos."Look at this! Her and Alpha Derek from the Silver Moon pack! And Alpha Kane from the Northern Ridge pack!""These were all taken when Ryan was still alive!"Photo after photo flashed acros

Chapter 9

Two weeks later. Snowfall Town, in the Northern Territories.Morning sun streamed through the large window of the small flower shop. Regina was arranging fresh-cut flowers.This place was far from the chaos of the packs. There were only mountains, lakes, and the purest air.Her mate bond had been broken for a week.On the night of the full moon, when the familiar warmth of Xander's mark on her chest finally went cold and vanished, she cried. Not from sadness, but from relief.The feeling of being finally free.Like a massive weight had been lifted.Jingle—The bell on the door rang. A tall figure stepped into the shop.The man cradled a snow wolf cub drenched in blood. Panic swam in his eyes."Please... can you help him?"Regina put down her flowers and rushed over.The man had deep blue eyes and brown hair that shined in the sun.He had the wild, free scent of a lone wolf."What happened?" she asked, gently stroking the cub's head."I found him in the mountains. His leg is caught in a

Chapter 10

One month later.Regina had moved into Liam's small cabin at the foot of the mountains.It was surrounded by pine trees. Every morning, she woke to the sound of birds singing."Good morning." Liam kissed her forehead, handing her a hot cup of coffee.Regina snuggled into his arms, feeling safe for the first time in a long time."Farmer's market today?" she asked."Of course. You said you wanted fresh blueberries," Liam smiled. "Whatever my Regina wants, she gets."Max, his leg fully healed, wagged his tail at their feet.This simple happiness was something Regina had never known.That afternoon, they walked hand-in-hand through the market.Stalls overflowed with fresh fruits and vegetables. The air smelled of herbs."These blueberries are very sweet," a vendor called out.Regina was about to reach for them when a large hand shot out from behind her, clamping around her wrist."Regina."The familiar voice made her entire body go stiff.She turned slowly. She saw the face she had both lo
