Reborn As the Phoenix Queen
Sylva.G
A century ago, the war between humans and beastkin nearly destroyed the world. To restore order, the five major beast clans—Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Serpent, and Peacock—formed an alliance with humanity.
Under the Treaty of Balance, every hundred years, a union between humans and beastkin must occur. The first child born of this union—a half-beast—will inherit the throne and rule over the Human-Beast Alliance.
In my past life, I chose Max, the Dragon Clan's heir. Known for his unwavering devotion and noble bloodline, he seemed the perfect mate. I gave birth to the first half-beast child of the generation—a rare white dragon. Our son was named the next ruler, and Max rose to unmatched power.
My half-sister, Alice, chose the Tiger Clan—seduced by beauty, blinded by arrogance. Her husband betrayed her, and she was left barren and disgraced.
She envied me. Hated me.
One night, she drugged me, set our home on fire, and watched as the flames devoured me and my son.
But fate was not done with me.
When I opened my eyes, I had returned to the day of the choosing ceremony—the moment that would decide our mates, our fates, and the future ruler of the realm.
Only this time… Alice had already climbed into Max’s bed.
She had been reborn too.
But what she didn’t know was this:
Max is not the devoted prince she remembers.
He is brutal. Possessive. A beast of blood, not love.
And this time, I won't make the same mistake.
