Chapter 1

The maids screamed and fled the room, but my feet moved toward the doorway of their own accord.In my past life, I had been drawn to Jace Fenwick by that same instinct. I was somehow just compelled to approach him. I couldn't bear to watch his suffering and offered myself to him, quelling his rut.But this time, I didn't go in. Instead, I locked the door from the outside, letting Jace continue to smash things in a frenzy inside the room while growling my name, "Riley… Riley Vale!"However, I felt nothing in my heart. All I could see in my mind was the vicious, hateful look on his face right before I died in my past life.Without a moment's hesitation, I called my younger sister, Ruby Vale.Ruby arrived quickly. She asked, looking both worried and delighted, "Did Jace ask for me?"I nodded, my expression blank.Hearing his low, ragged gasps from within, Ruby tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with a shy smile and stepped into the room.I retreated to the room next door and s

Chapter 2

Ever since I discovered that Ruby had been marked, it felt as though my soul had briefly slipped from my body.In my past life, I had to beg Jace desperately just to receive that mark on my body, and yet, he bestowed it upon her after only a single night.When we arrived at the office, Jace gathered everyone together. Our pack members surrounded us, eyeing us with curiosity, though I caught a few glimmers of subtle malice.This was all too familiar to me.Back at the werewolf academy, I had always been a top student, excelling in academics, sports, and extracurriculars, while demonstrating a natural aptitude for leadership.After our wolves awakened, Jace took over his father's position as Alpha of the Blackfrost pack, as well as the role of CEO of Fenwick Group.Determined to be worthy of him, I started in an entry-level position at the company, worked harder than anyone else, and delivered impressive results. I frequently came out on top in competitive situations, which earned

I completed an online interview in a spot the surveillance camera couldn't see.When I left the "calming room", an email containing a job offer arrived in my inbox. My start date was set for just three days later. All I had to do was click on the "accept" button to escape this suffocating environment.I stood at the doorway of the "calming room", staring blankly at the email on my phone."Riley, come to my office," Jace called out from down the hall. Startled, I shoved my phone into my pocket.He was half-reclined on a couch, gesturing toward a bone-in steak on the coffee table."Eat."The steak was still steaming and looked remarkably freshly made.I felt lightheaded from hunger after going all day without food, so I didn't bother to refuse. I just picked up the steak with my bare hands and tore into it."Ruby prepared this for you," he added abruptly, as if worried that I might misunderstand his intentions.I scoffed through my nose. "Thanks for the clarification. I certainl

Chapter 4

Jace and Ruby were so preoccupied with the news of Ruby's pregnancy that they had no time to persuade me to stay.Just as in my previous life, the Elders' Council demanded that Jace and Ruby hold their bonding ceremony as soon as possible, both to solidify Ruby's status and to ensure she could carry her pregnancy in peace.Not wanting to draw any extra attention during such a hectic time for the pack, I specifically begged the Council to keep my impending departure a secret.I wrote a letter of resignation as a final farewell and left it on Jace's desk while he took Ruby to a medical appointment. After that, I gathered all the files and operational guides I had compiled over the years and emailed them to Jace.Once that was done, I rented a small apartment near my new workplace. I was leaving the pack to live in the human world for the first time, and it filled me with a mix of both terror and excitement.When I returned home, Jace and Ruby were sitting in the living room, watchin

Chapter 5

Jace then attempted to call me through the mind link, but he couldn't sense any trace of my presence. It only hit him then that I was simply too far away from him.The moment he got home, Jace retreated to his study and stayed there until late into the night.Jace and I grew up together. We were always the brightest and most exceptional among our peers, and we consistently stood out as the most brilliant and dazzling of the lot at the werewolf academy.When Jace's wolf first awakened at eighteen, he was revealed to be an Alpha, just as everyone expected. He then succeeded his father as the pack's leader. To everyone's surprise, however, I turned out to be nothing more than an ordinary, low-ranking Omega.However, he was entirely unconcerned by my status and kept me by his side, working closely with him. For convenience, he even invited Ruby and me to move in with him.Beyond our studies and work, our favorite pastime at home was reading. We'd each buy our favorite books and sit si

The next day was my start date at the new company. I arrived at the office calm and collected, 15 minutes earlier than required.The receptionist was a human woman. "You must be Ms. Riley Vale, starting today, right?" she asked with a smile.I nodded. "Yes, that's me. Nice to meet you."She handed me an ID card. "Here is your access pass. Please take elevator 4, 5, or 6 to the 15th floor."A small group of humans stood in the elevator lobby, chatting with each other. I moved to the other side and waited in front of elevator 4.But I soon sensed something amiss.As the doors to elevator 4 slid open, a pungent, unmistakable scent of a werewolf washed over me.My instinctive aversion to the scent of a wolf from another pack triggered a physical reaction. My body tensed, and the hair on my arms stood on end.Just then, someone tapped my shoulder.I spun around, raising my arms to block a potential attack, but stopped myself abruptly when I saw who it was.It was Nate Brooks, th

Chapter 7

The work at Ashford Group was very similar to what I had done before, and as an intern, I found all the tasks assigned to me easy to handle.Nate, my direct supervisor, was also the second-in-command. He was a Beta.He provided meticulous guidance and kept a close eye on how well I was adjusting. With his help, I was also introduced to many more business partners.To my pleasant surprise, everyone at Ashford was incredibly friendly. I quickly made a few friends among my colleagues, and they were people I could chat and have lunch with. They included pureblood werewolves, mixed-bloods, and wolfless pack members. Yet everyone got along well, with no one caring in the slightest about lineage or status.Even amidst the busy workday, I couldn't help but think of Jace and Ruby. After all, Jace was a wolf I'd adored since my student days, and Ruby was still my beloved younger sister. And they would be holding their bonding ceremony and becoming bonded mates in just three weeks.I shook

Chapter 8

Nate's words made my mind go completely blank.I didn't even know how I walked out of the office or left the company building.I just couldn't bring myself to believe it, yet I couldn't banish the thought from my mind ever since it occurred.No wonder Jace, who had been drugged during the dinner, hadn't started showing any symptoms until he got home.No wonder Ruby showed up the moment I called her that day.It turned out to have all been a part of her scheme.But it was too late to talk about that now. She was already pregnant with Jace's pup and was set to become his mate anyway.I walked toward the subway station like a zombie. Even the cool evening breeze couldn't ease the suffocating tightness in my chest.As I passed an alleyway, a familiar scent caught my attention—the scent of my own pack.I glanced into the alley and immediately caught sight of a few hostile, unfamiliar faces. They were gathered together, clubs slung over their shoulders.I took a half-step back and

Nate raised his glass. "Likewise."Jace let out a cold, derisive laugh. "It's best to avoid underhanded tactics in business negotiations."Nate clearly understood the implication and burst out laughing."What's so funny?" Jace demanded with a frown."We're quite sincere about pursuing a partnership with Fenwick Group," Nate said, his tone heavy with implicit meaning. "It's just that, as it stands, Fenwick Group hasn't even managed to resolve the threats within its own ranks."Jace paused, taken aback. "What do you mean by that?"Nate didn't answer. Instead, he glanced toward Ruby, who was right next to them.Ruby recognized Nate as one of the wolves present that day, and she felt a cold sweat drench her back."You didn't invite me here just for idle chatter, did you?" Jace continued. "I'm sure Ashford Group is aware that Ruby and I are currently occupied with preparations for our bonding ceremony. We don't have time to spare just to play games with you."Nate chuckled softly

Chapter 10

After that day, nobody from the Blackfrost pack ever came to cause any trouble for me again.I continued my work at Ashford Group with peace of mind. Under Nate's mentorship, I grew rapidly and earned the recognition of more and more colleagues.I no longer needed to hide my ambition to climb the ladder. Here, it wasn't just accepted but also welcomed for anyone to show their true, sharp edges.Yet, in the quiet of the night, I still dreamed of my younger days, when Jace, Ruby, and I went to an amusement park together. We wore adorable plush hats and clutched cotton candy and sodas in our hands as we raced through that vibrant, colorful world.A week later, I arrived at my desk to find a letter waiting for me.I opened it and recognized Jace's handwriting. There were only a few lines on it, but they spoke volumes to me.He apologized for blaming me for his own mistakes in the past. The incident during his "rut" hadn't been my fault, and he shouldn't have punished me for it.He'd
