Lahat ng Kabanata ng Forced to Kneel for His Dead Lover: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

"Florian, if you become betrothed mates with her, I'll jump off this building. I would rather die than live without you."I widened my eyes upon hearing Jessica Chaste's familiar cries. I scanned my surroundings and noticed there were werewolves in exquisite clothing all around me. It was obvious that I had returned to the day of the marking ritual.I had once thought this was the happiest day of my life. Who knew it would become the beginning of my nightmare?Florian Reed stood beside me, staring at Jessica, who was standing on the rooftop, his face grim. But he didn't say a word. He grabbed my hand, wanting to continue with the ritual.In my last life, I nearly cried with excitement when he chose me so decisively. But after everything I had been through, I had become much more rational.I realized how hard he was gripping me, exposing the anxiety he was feeling within. Maybe Jessica's devotion had already won him over.But the pack couldn't accept an Alpha who betrayed his mate

Jessica's mother, Sienna Biles, walked over to me, her face dark. She looked at me with such hatred that it was like she wanted to tear me apart."Olivia, Toby deliberately embarrassed Jessica and didn't even apologize. You can't even teach your own brother properly, and now that someone is kind enough to discipline him for you, you should stay out of it!"Afraid that the two of us might start fighting, Florian quickly explained, "Olivia, Toby did push Jessica first. You should be glad I was the one who dealt with him. If Jessica's family had handled it themselves, he would've had it worse."He suddenly leaned in close and whispered, "Don't worry, Toby isn't badly hurt. I didn't use much force."His words instantly fueled my anger. Toby's pant leg was covered in blood from the knee down, and he was limping as he walked. How could Florian brush it off just like that?I couldn't swallow my anger. "Jessica was threatening to jump off the building just over two hours ago. Didn't you f

They were both stunned.Worried that I'd get upset again, Jax quickly drove Florian out of the room.Even though Florian looked concerned, he didn't stay any longer. "I'll come see you again once you've calmed down."Florian said he would come back, but I didn't see him for the next few days.Meanwhile, Jax stayed and took great care of me. Whenever it was time to eat, he'd blow on the food to cool it down before gently feeding it to me. He treated me like a pup, which made me feel pretty embarrassed.I wanted to politely refuse, so I reached for the bowl in his hands. "Jax, thank you, but I can eat on my own."But Jax pulled the bowl away. "It's no big deal. You're the patient. You should get some rest."I could only obediently open my mouth and let him finish feeding me.Because I was still weak and couldn't walk, every time I needed to use the bathroom, I had to ask Jax to carry me there.He could carry me effortlessly, yet he walked so slowly. I was starting to wonder if I

Blood dripped from the corner of my mouth, but instead of getting angry, I laughed. "Jessica, if I don't come out, I'm afraid you'll end up having to dissolve your mate bond with Florian."My words hit her like a spark, burning her eyes red."Shut up!" Jessica's chest heaved as her voice turned sharp. "Florian would never be willing to leave me."She glared at me, practically screaming, "I'm the one he loves most. This pup is the best proof."Then, as if suddenly remembering something happy, the anger on Jessica's face vanished, and she let out a soft laugh. "Florian never told you, did he? I deliberately drugged myself that day. He wouldn't touch me at first, but the moment he saw another man holding me, he went crazy."He threw me onto the bed and didn't stop until morning. He kept saying my name over and over, telling me he loved me."She looked as if she were back in that night, unconsciously wrapping her arms around herself with a sweet smile on her lips."After that night,

Meanwhile, after narrowly escaping death, I had just finished the paperwork to transfer to another werewolf pack under my new identity.I quietly listened as Jax told me everything that went down, not feeling any satisfaction at all. If anything, I just felt a little sad.After all that back and forth, they still ended up dying young, just like they had in my last life.Seeing me lower my head without a word, Jax thought I was grieving and thoughtfully handed me a tissue.I didn't take it. Instead, I finally asked the question I'd been wanting to ask all along. "Jax, you were reborn too, weren't you? You weren't at the marking ritual in my last life, and I remember you'd already left for another werewolf pack by then."Jax's expression froze for a moment before he took a deep breath and nodded.I quickly asked, "How did you die?"Although I didn't know why I was given a second chance at life, death was clearly a necessary part of it.Jax stared at me in silence. There were too
