Goodbye, My Twin Pups and My Mate!
I was trapped in a sea filled with icebergs, clinging to life alongside Elsa —the sweetheart of my mate, Alpha Luke, and her son.
After a long hesitation, Luke chose to save me, the one carrying his unborn twins.
After he brought me to shore, there wasn’t enough time for him to go back for Elsa.
All he could do was watch her drift away, swallowed by the freezing waves, until she disappeared from sight.
He never forgave me for it.
He said I delayed him—that if not for me, he could have saved her.
For five long years, he hated me.
He wouldn't even let my twin pups call him “father.”
Then came the day the witch brewed a time machine that could turn back time.
Luke gave up everything—his title, his pride, even his sons—just for the chance to go back.
“Aria,” he said before leaving, “did you really think I saved you because I cared?
If I hadn’t saved you first, the whole pack would’ve blamed Elsa. That’s the only reason.”
After he was gone, his mother looked at me with eyes full of disdain.
“This is all your fault,” she said. “If Luke had saved Elsa first, he might’ve been happy now.”
Even my own children resented me.
“You're the reason Father hates us,” they said. “You're the one who killed Elsa.
Why couldn’t it have been you who died that day?”
Despised by everyone, I drank the potion without a second thought.
This time, I would go back.
This time, I would save myself.
And I would owe Luke nothing.
