Semua Bab REBORN BEFORE THE BLOOD MOON : Bab 1 - Bab 8

CHAPTER 1: THE BLOOD RED MOON AND THE BETRAYALThe moon turned red at 6:47 p.m.Vivienne Hale would remember the exact minute for the rest of her life, which, as it turned out, would not be very long.She had been standing at the kitchen window of the pack house, rinsing Mina’s little cup, when the silver light drained out of the sky like blood from an open vein. In its place came a color she had no name for. It was deep and wet and crimson, spreading across the heavens until every pine in the Silverbrook Pack looked dipped in red.Then the howling began.Vivienne didn't just hear the sound of one wolf howling; she heard the sound of several wolves howling together, a sound of pure horror.Her own wolf, which had never once raised its head, suddenly lurched awake and screamed: Run.The cup slipped from her fingers and shattered on the tile.“Mama?”Mina stood in the kitchen doorway in her yellow pajamas, clutching the worn stuffed rabbit she never slept without. Mina was five years ol

CHAPTER 3: YOU'VE LOST YOUR MINDDorian stared at her, genuinely puzzled. Something was fundamentally wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. The soft, gentle female who spent seven years tip-toeing around his moods, taking his cold shoulder with a weak smile, and pouring her blood into his pack’s survival was looking at him as if he were a bug she wanted to crush.“Is this about yesterday?” Dorian asked, his tone shifting from outrage to irritated condescension. He pinched the bridge of his nose. “Is this because I took Celeste to the council dinner instead of you? I told you, Vivienne, it was just a dinner event. Celeste has never been to such events before and she just wanted to know how it felt like. Besides, you’re an Omega. You don't understand these high-level pack affairs. You belong here, keeping things stable.”In her former life, those words would have carved another bloody wound into her self-esteem. She would have spent the afternoon crying and questioning her worth

CHAPTER 5: THE RIFT CONTINUESThat evening, Vivienne returned to the packhouse after picking up Mina. She made sure Mina was well fed, bathed her by herself and after tucking her safely into bed with her stuffed rabbit, Vivienne walked straight into the pack administration office.Donovan, the pack Beta, was hunched over a mountain of paper manifests, looking utterly exhausted."Donovan," Vivienne said softly, leaning against the doorframe.Donovan looked up, rubbing his bloodshot eyes. "Luna... oh, good. Look, Dorian is furious with you about this morning, but right now I don't have time for domestic drama. The quarterly grain supply order from the northern farms is late, and our defense budget is somehow short 200,000 dollars."In her past life, Vivienne would have offered to stay up all night helping Donovan re-check the ledgers out of pity. Donovan was always the workhorse while Dorian took the credit.This time, she used his exhaustion to strike at Dorian's foundation."That's st

CHAPTER 7: THE VAULT OF THE FUTUREVivienne didn’t feel intimidated under his intense, probing gaze. She kept her face completely calm, knowing that telling the truth about the sky tearing open, mutant beasts, and a past life where she died in the dark would make her sound like a lunatic."I just need absolute privacy and maximum structural security, Alpha Sterling," Vivienne replied smoothly, her voice steady and composed. "My former Alpha, Dorian Silverbrook, has brought home his mistress to the pack house. I can't stand their show of affection to each other.”“You could simply move out of the pack house, buy a duplex within the pack instead of buying a vault,” Jaxson stared.Vivienne heaved a sigh. “The Silverbrook pack is entirely dependent on traditional pack lands and public networks. I am cutting all ties. I need a secure, subterranean stronghold where my daughter and I can establish an independent base, run our private investments, and operate completely off-grid without Doria
