I was reborn on the day of my first birthday party. Even though I had the power of good luck, I ignored my parents' requests. In my previous life, I used my luck to help my parents become the richest family. My eldest brother became a business tycoon. My second brother became a famous doctor. My third brother became a superstar in the music world. Only my family's adopted daughter, Jade Baker, was unaffected by my luck because we weren't related by blood. She failed her college entrance exams at eighteen, was kidnapped at twenty, and died in an accident at twenty-five. Before she died, she wept and said, "It's not Mindy's fault. I've always been an outsider. She has no obligation to help me." Everyone thought I was jealous and let Jade suffer on purpose. They locked me up and ran all sorts of experiments on me, hoping to use my luck to bring Jade back to life. In the end, they tortured me to death. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at my first birthday party. My dad smiled and asked me, "Sweetheart, do you think I should sign this million-dollar deal?" I blinked. And smeared a handful of mud on his face.

As a werewolf who grew up as a rogue, Katia did not follow any rules, nor even know what the law was. She doesn't even know that her mate exists. So when she unexpectedly met the other half of her soul, Alpha Reui, the alpha of the Exodus pack, Katia was baffled and shocked. She was given the option of attending a werewolf university or becoming fully mated with the alpha and bearing his pup. Katia, who was always impulsive and naive, thought that attending the school would get her away from the alpha's eyes and possessiveness. Or so she thought. For 6 years, Alpha Reui patiently waited for his mate since he had shifted. He was loyal and untouched for her. So to let her go easily is the last thing he'd do. And Katia knew she couldn't do anything to stop him from his craziness, so she just let him be. Unsure of her new life as a student of the strange school for werewolves, Katia was left with no choice but to ask the alpha's help, much to the latter's delight. Katia never thought things would turn pretty much contrary to what she expected it to be. She was a rogue, unwanted, and a monster. She has no family at all. Or that's what she thought. As she unravels the secrets and mysteries of her forgotten past, Katia soon realizes that she is nothing like what people describe her to be. As she flipped through the folded chapter of her life, Katia didn't expect to find love and light in the midst of her dark, chaotic life. And for the very first time, Katia started trusting someone to take care of her heart. But... Was it really worth it? Was it really worth the risk?
