Reborn to Defy Fate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

LyraI took my time getting ready that morning. Every movement, every choice was deliberate. Today, I would see him and that’s exactly why she was already here.Selene.In the past, I had thought her presence comforting, like a sister waiting to help me pick the right outfit or whisper advice about love. But now I knew better. Her charm had always been a weapon. Her loyalty, an illusion. And I… well, I had walked right into the trap they laid for me.Not this time.I stepped out of the shower, letting the steam swirl around me like mist on a battlefield. Choosing a pair of high-waisted skinny jeans and a form-fitting tee, I made sure everything I wore said one thing: I’m not your puppet anymore.At the vanity, I brushed out my silver hair, the color Selene once convinced me to hide. I applied a soft, bold makeup look, letting the glow of my skin and the icy blue of my eyes speak for themselves. My reflection looked like a stranger to the old Lyra. But to me, now, it looked like power.

“I can't believe you are here, Ayana." I squealed, hugging the girl in my arms.“Come on Lyra, you will squish me into a ball if you keep this up. You have been hugging me the whole day." Ayana complained with a pout and I smiled.Ayana was my best friend before Selene came along. A year before my eighteenth birthday which is two years now, she left the pack without much of an explanation.In my past life, Selene mocked me for taking away my best friend's mate. It turned out that Damon was Ayana's true mate. I had already started falling in love with Damon back then and I guessed she left because she couldn't stand her best friend having feelings for her mate. I wondered if he still was in this life too.“I am happy that you are back." I replied sincerely. In my past life, she never came back till my death. “I thought you forgot all about me after getting a new best friend." Ayana joked but something told me she meant it.“No one can replace you in my heart and don't ever think like

KillianThe ballroom glowed with warmth and music, filled with laughter and clinking glasses. Wolves danced, drank, and celebrated like it was the last night on earth.And yet, I felt nothing. The night was supposed to be me choosing my mate, my Luna, but how could I when the one person I wanted didn't want me?But what was with her bad playing games with me? Did she think that I couldn't get over her because I loved her?I moved from group to group, my face split into a forced smile. I greeted my guests, nodded at elders, exchanged shallow pleasantries with acquaintances and with every female that brushed too close, every hopeful Luna candidate with perfectly painted lips and sparkly eyes. It all blurred. I wasn't with them.…because I was watching the damn door.Waiting for her. Lyra.Hoping that she had been serious about wanting me.The woman who once turned me away as if I was unworthy, was the same woman who now claimed she wanted to be my Luna. And despite everything, my wolf

Lyra“Lyra.”The voice was smooth, a little too smooth, like silk hiding a blade. I blinked the memory away, forcing my spine to straighten as I turned irritated at the fact that he would come looking for me again after I had made it clear that I didn't want to be involved with him.Alpha Leo of the Veil Pack stood beside me, wearing that same insufferable smirk he always did, the kind that screamed I know more than you think. I didn’t smile. I didn’t curtsy. I didn’t even bother pretending that I didn't hate him.“Alpha Leo,” I said flatly, my gaze flicking past him. My mind wasn't and wouldn't be on him tonight and not ever.Killian stood near the center of the ballroom, regal and devastating in dark grey. His shoulders looked stiff beneath the formal cloak draped around them, his mouth set in a frown too subtle for most to notice, but I did. I saw the way he turned his drink in his hand without sipping it. The way he kept glancing at the Luna candidates like he couldn’t decide whet

SeleneThe moon was a pale eye above us, watching in silence as plans were laid like daggers on a velvet table.Damon was furious. He couldn't believe that all his planning for years didn't go as planned.He paced the forest clearing like a wolf caged, one hand curled into a fist, the other brushing back his messy hair. His jaw clenched and unclenched, and I could almost hear his thoughts snarling behind those clenched teeth.He was pissed.“She said no,” he growled. “In front of everyone. She humiliated me. How dare she! She dared say no to my face!”Alpha Leo didn’t flinch. He stood coolly, hands behind his back, his expression unreadable. That was what made him so dangerous, while Damon burned, Leo plotted in ice.“You expected her to say yes?” I asked lightly, inspecting my nails. The polish had chipped. “Lyra’s never been tame. That’s why you want her, isn’t it? Other than whG she brings on the table, you wanted to tame her, isn't it?Thought I'm surprised myself. I thought I had
