Dark Romance 웹소설 & Brave Contract Marriage 스토리

On the day I was supposed to become Luna, my Alpha rejected me in front of the entire pack. And the woman standing beside him, wearing the smile of my closest friend, was his new destined mate. I thought losing the man I loved was the worst thing that could happen. I was wrong. Accused of a crime I never committed, stripped of my title, and exiled from the only home I had ever known, I was left to die. But the night I should have disappeared, a dangerous stranger saved my life. Kael Thorne. An exiled warrior with royal blood, a violent past, and secrets darker than the moonless sky. He offered me a deal: help him uncover the truth behind the Moon Court, and he would help me clear my name. Then I discovered something impossible. The sacred mate bonds that ruled our world could be forged. The Moon Court's divine promises were built on lies. And I possessed a forbidden gift—the power to hear the truth hidden within broken oaths. But every time I used that power, I lost a precious memory forever. My former Alpha wanted me silenced. The Moon Court wanted me captured. And the man who had saved me was hiding a truth that could destroy everything between us. They thought rejecting me would break me. Instead, they created the one woman who could bring their entire kingdom to its knees. I was never destined to be their Luna. I was destined to judge their lies.

Imagine being murdered by the very woman meant to protect you, your own grandmother, consumed by her lust for power. It sounds unreal, doesn’t it? But that has been my reality. This is my seventh life, seven times I have been reborn, and seven times I have died before the age of eighteen. At only five years old, I hid in a cupboard and watched through a crack as my grandmother, Lunice, gave the order that slaughtered my brothers, the royal princes of Ahenil, after news came that my father, King Ahenos, had been killed in battle. To secure her throne, she commanded the execution of every male in the royal bloodline. My mother’s maid, Martha, risked everything to smuggle me away. She raised me like her own, alongside her daughter Jane, the girl who became my light, and later, the love of my last life. But no matter where I ran or how I lived, fate found me. In each of my six past lives, my grandmother’s shadow hunted me down, ending me at eighteen. Sometimes she killed Jane too. Sometimes even Martha. Each death left me broken, yet each rebirth filled me with memories, scars, and a growing resolve. Now, in this seventh, I am no longer the helpless boy cowering behind a cupboard’s door. I carry the wisdom of six lives, the pain of countless betrayals, and the fire of vengeance that will not be quenched. This time, I will reclaim my throne. This time, I will protect those I love. And when October comes, the cursed month of my death, the world will remember my name. I am the rightful heir, the cursed prince reborn. And this time… I will defy fate itself.
