I opened my eyes to the harsh glare of the hospital lights.The sharp smell of disinfectant flooded my hfourened senses, sending a wave of pain through my head."Claire, look. His nose is just like yours."Ryan sat beside my bed, smiling as he played with the baby.I stared at him, my heart suddenly tightening.Then, in the next second, everything became clear.I had been reborn.Reborn on the very day I had given birth to my child.I slowly turned my head toward the bassinet beside the bed.The little kid inside was waving his tiny arms, his face red from crying.There was a distinct red birthmark on his right little toe.I recognized him at a glance.This wasn't my son.This was Ethan, the ungrateful wretch who had betrayed me in my previous life.The child Isabella and Ryan had stolen from me.In my previous life, I had always believed he was my biological son.I had devoted my entire life to raising him.Until I became gravely ill and lay helpless in bed, and he pulled out my oxyge

Four years passed.By the time Logan turned four, the difference between the two boys had become impossible to ignore.My son was taller and stronger than other children his age. His wounds healed within hours, and whenever he became emotional, a faint golden ring appeared around his pupils.The pack doctor said those were signs of an exceptionally powerful Alpha bloodline."He may complete his first shift early. One day, he'll be strong enough to inherit your father's pack."Isabella happened to hear him.Her eyes immediately lit up.She crouched in front of Logan and took his hands, as though she were already imagining the future that supposedly belonged to her."I knew it. Look at him—he's only four, and his Alpha blood is already showing."Then she glanced at Runt, who stood silently behind her.He was thin and pale, with fading bruises around his wrists. Unlike Logan, his eyes had never shifted, his claws had never emerged, and he had never displayed the slightest trace of his wol

Runt survived the surgery.Because the doctors had documented years of untreated injuries, child protective services immediately removed him from Isabella's custody. Until the investigation was complete, he was placed with a foster family approved by my father's pack.Isabella wasn't allowed to see him without supervision.After we left the hospital, Ryan seemed like a completely different man.Before, whenever he came home, he couldn't be bothered to say a single unnecessary word to me.Now, he couldn't seem to stay away from me for even a moment.In the morning, he prepared breakfast for me."You haven't eaten enough. I can smell it on you. At least drink this."I didn't even look at it.When he came home that evening, the dining table was once again covered with dishes."You've protected this family and raised our pup all these years. Let me take care of you for once."I said nothing.No matter how hard he tried to please me, I gave him only one answer."I don't need it."Eventually

The day I left the house, I took only Logan's things with me.His clothes, his toys, a few picture books, and all of his medical records from the past four years.As for the jewelry and gifts Ryan had bought me, I left every single one behind.As I walked out the door, Logan slipped his hand into mine and asked softly,"Mom, are we never coming back?"I gently stroked his hair."From now on, we'll live in our own home."The new house wasn't big, but it was quiet.There were no deliberately amplified screams from Isabella, and no Ryan standing at the door, begging me over and over to repair a bond that was already dead.That night, I unpacked the last box.The city lights glittered outside the window.I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass and suddenly felt as though the weight that had been pressing down on my wolf for four years had finally lifted.Once my father learned that I'd moved out, he found me soon after."Come back and work for the family business."He pushed a docum

Ryan and Isabella didn't survive the collapse of their plan together.Once the truth was exposed, they blamed each other for everything."You told me Claire would never find out!" Isabella screamed during one of their final arguments.Ryan laughed bitterly."And who beat the pup every day?""You helped me!""You were the one who wanted his wolf broken before he could awaken!"Their alliance had lasted only while they believed they would win.Now there was nothing left between them except fear and hatred.During one argument, Isabella threw something at Ryan.He grabbed her arm and shoved her away.She stumbled backward.The back of her head struck the corner of a table.The room went silent.By the time help arrived, Isabella was dead.Ryan was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter.The healer who had once risked everything to give his secret son my pup's place in the pack had now lost his mate, his career, his reputation, and his freedom.Runt never returned to Isabella's care.
