Chapter 1

When I opened my eyes again, Debra had already thrown herself into the serpent clan's arms."King of Beasts, I choose Patrick."With that, she shot me a defiant look, her eyes gleaming with absolute certainty.I knew then: she had been reborn too.In my past life, Debra had been dead set on being the first to give birth to a half-beast, so she'd chosen the wolf clan without a second thought—the strongest of all the packs.She suggested I pick the serpent clan, saying their pregnancy rates were higher.I took her advice and chose Patrick.After Patrick and I mated, I got pregnant fast. And our child was the first half-beast of the generation.The King of Beasts immediately declared our child the next ruler.Meanwhile, Debra kept having stillbirths.She convinced herself it was the wolf clan's bloodline that made the babies hard to carry—so she crept into Patrick's bed in the middle of the night.What she didn't expect was that Patrick was fiercely loyal to me. He kicked her out of bed o

Chapter 2

Patrick was a serpent clan beastman.And serpents were born with lust in their blood.He had no interest in hunting—all he cared about was what happened in bed.Once or twice a day was fun. But once or twice every three days? That was pure torture for the mate.And Patrick was especially violent in bed—no tenderness, no gentleness, just brute force.He was lazy and useless too. In my past life, I was the one supporting him—hunting, gathering, putting food on the table.But when I came back after a long day out, he'd spread rumors that I'd been out fooling around with other beastmen.Just thinking about it made my skin crawl, my whole body ache with old pain.Debra thought she'd landed herself a prize. She had no idea Patrick was rotten all the way through."Julie, you've been kicked out of the pack. What do you have to be so smug about?" Debra's face went cold at my words. "I'll make sure you watch me become the pack's divine maiden with your own eyes."With that, she couldn't wait to

There he lay—a man with flowing white hair and golden eyes.When he saw me, a pair of lion ears twitched gently atop his head."You're back."His voice was even more beautiful than I remembered.My heart leaped. "You're the white lion?"The white lion nodded. "My name is Edward Stewart."I smiled. "Nice to meet you. I'm Julie Evans."Under my care, Edward had recovered enough to walk. He still couldn't do anything too strenuous, though.Still, the first time we went hunting together, he gave me a proper demonstration of just how fierce he really was.A wild boar—he'd torn through its throat in under a minute.That night, I finally tasted meat again after so long.I roasted the pork belly over the fire—the sizzling fat gave off an irresistible aroma.I ate until my face was covered in grease, then asked Edward which pack he belonged to.His eyes dimmed. "I don't. I have no pack."I froze.He said he'd been cast out as a child—the pack treated him like a monster.The memory clearly weigh

Edward was so gentle.I had no idea how long we'd been lost in each other. By the time I finally came back to my senses and looked outside, snow had already started falling.With Edward around, I spent the warmest winter I'd ever known.He kept the cave blazing hot—when we ran out of firewood, he'd go out and gather more. At night, he'd wrap me in his warm fur and hold me close.Soon enough, I noticed my body changing.Just as I suspected—I was pregnant.When I broke the news to Edward, his eyes went wide.A few seconds later, both his ears and tail started twitching with excitement."Really?" His rough palm pressed gently against my belly. "You're really carrying my little lion?"He scooped me up and lifted me high into the air.I laughed along with him.Once he knew I was pregnant, Edward spoiled me rotten.He followed me everywhere, refused to let me lift a finger, and insisted on doing everything for me himself.Lying in his warm embrace, my mind drifted back to my past life.Patri

Chapter 5

Debra plastered on a smile. "I pleaded with the King of Beasts on your behalf. He's agreed to let you return to the pack."Edward and I were doing just fine on our own. There was no need to go back.I turned her down flat.But Debra saw right through me. "Sis, you're pregnant, aren't you? Even if you don't care about yourself, think about the child. You can wander for a while, but are you really going to wander forever? You think living free and unbound is great now—but what about your baby when it's born? "Her words hit me right in the gut.In this world, even someone as powerful as Edward had nearly died alone in that cave.What would happen to my child once it was born?But Edward had been cast out by his own pack. Would he really want to go back to that kind of environment?I looked at Edward. He seemed to read my mind.He came over and took my hand. "Julie, then let's go back."After I agreed, Debra let out a visible sigh of relief. "Sis... do you have anything to eat?"She wolfe

Chapter 6

One day, I was tidying up when someone came running over to me."Julie, hurry—Debra's in labor!"After a human conceives a beastman's child, the pregnancy is long—anywhere from a year to three years.But Debra had been carrying Patrick's child for less than seven months.I had a bad feeling about this.The moment I reached Debra's cave, I heard her screams.Inside, the first thing I saw was a pool of blood—exactly like her first stillbirth in my past life.Back then, Jacob's size had made the baby too big. The child's head got stuck in the birth canal, and that's why she'd labored so terribly.And because I hadn't been there that time, the baby never made it out alive.But serpent eggs should've been small. They should've come out easily.I found out why soon enough.I helped Debra deliver five eggs.After I pulled them all out, Debra passed out cold.I fed her some medicinal broth and told Patrick, "If she makes it through tonight, she'll live. If not... then that's that."I turned to

The first one was a little black snake.One by one, the rest of the hatchlings broke through their shells.Debra was ecstatic. She turned to me, practically gloating. "This is perfect! I'm going to be the most powerful woman in the pack!"But something was wrong.All five little snakes lay motionless after hatching.Debra's face fell. She grabbed my arm. "Julie, hurry—look at my babies! What's wrong with them?"I stepped forward and checked. They had no signs of life. And every single one of them was deformed—missing parts.Combined with the fact that Debra had given birth at just seven months, it all clicked."Did you take anything during your pregnancy?"Debra's eyes darted away. "That's impossible! Why would I hurt my own children? Someone must've tampered with them!"Just then, someone in the crowd spoke up. "I saw her going to that shady rat clan apothecary. Who knows what kind of junk she took to try and secure the inheritance."Ever since Debra had become the divine maiden, she'

The next second, I was swept into a warm embrace.Edward carried me straight to the healer's ward without a moment's delay.Throughout the labor, he held my hand the entire time, his brow furrowed with worry.He kept telling me not to be scared.But his hands were shaking even more than mine.Thankfully, everything went smoothly.In less than two hours, I gave birth to a healthy little white lion cub.Everyone cheered.The King of Beasts arrived and declared our child the next ruler of the alliance.Edward and I stared at each other in disbelief.Neither of us had expected it to turn out this way.Word spread through the pack like wildfire. Debra pushed her way through the crowd.The moment she saw the beautiful little white lion, she lost it."This isn't real!" Debra shrieked. "Julie, how could you have a child before me?!"She couldn't accept it. She started screaming at everyone around her, calling them blind fools—insisting that she was the real divine maiden."Have you all forgott
