They buried him under a blood-red moon. Chains of silver and blessed iron pinned his broken body to the earth, sealing his power, erasing his name. To the pack, he was a failed Alpha. To the coven, a cursed vampire. To the world, he was a mistake that deserved to die. But monsters don’t stay dead. When Alpha opened his eyes again, he wasn’t in the grave—he was in the body of his weakest self. Eighteen years old. Rankless. Powerless. His wolf silent. His vampire blood thin and starving. The memories of his execution burned behind his eyes like fresh wounds. Reborn. A second life… and a second chance at vengeance. This time, he felt it—the system etched into his soul, ancient and cruel. [Hybrid Core Detected] Bloodline: Vampire / Werewolf / Unknown Status: Severely Suppressed Level: 1

Tepat di hari peringatan 30 tahun pernikahan kami, suamiku masih dalam perjalanan dinas. Makanan di meja sudah dingin. Di tengah aku masih menunggu kedatangannya, aku menerima notifikasi suamiku reservasi hotel. "Aku masih dinas, bukankah wajar aku menginap di hotel?" Suamiku masih merahasiakan, lalu aku meminta bukti video darinya, tetapi dia tidak membalas pesanku lama. Putraku menyeletuk, "Bu, jangan bertingkah berlebihan. Bukankah Ayah bekerja keras juga untuk kita berdua?" Semua orang menganggap aku adalah ibu rumah tangga yang bahagia karena memiliki suami yang perhatian dan putraku memiliki karier yang sukses. Namun, ketika aku menerima notifikasi reservasi hotel, seketika aku merasa muak. Mereka mengira aku tidak tahu apa-apa. Aku ingin bercerai. Semua pengorbananku selama 30 tahun ini ternyata tidak dihargai. "Kamu bukan anak kecil lagi, berhentilah membuat keributan!" Suamiku memohon agar kami tidak bercerai. Dalam perjalanan pulang di tengah malam, suamiku mengalami kecelakaan mobil. Putraku marah dan mengatakan bahwa aku tidak becus menjadi istri maupun ibu. Melihat anakku emosi dan suamiku yang pura-pura terbaring lemah di ranjang, aku mencibir dalam hati. Kalau kamu suka pura-pura sakit, aku akan membuatmu lumpuh selamanya!'

Suami dan anakku sama sekali tidak menghargaiku. Mereka malah membawa wanita lain yang baru saja bercerai, pulang ke rumah kami. Wanita itu licik dan penuh tipu muslihat. Dia terus mengadu dombaku dan suamiku, membuat kami jadi bertengkar. Karena sudah tidak tahan lagi, aku pun mengusir wanita itu dari rumah. Namun, suami dan anakku justru marah. Suamiku menyebutku cemburu buta dan tidak punya belas kasihan. Dia bahkan menyebutku tidak sebanding dengan wanita itu. Dan kalaupun harus ada yang pergi, akulah yang harus pergi. Bahkan anak yang sudah kukandung selama sembilan bulan pun lebih memihak wanita itu. Dia juga memaksaku minta maaf, kalau tidak, dia enggan menganggapku ibunya lagi. Hatiku hancur melihat suami dan anakku lebih memihak wanita lain. Aku pun memutuskan untuk bercerai. Wanita itu baru menunjukkan dirinya yang sebenarnya di hari aku dan suamiku mau bercerai. Dia sengaja mengunciku di kamar dan meledakkan tabung gas. Ketika suamiku yang merupakan tim pemadam kebakaran tiba, dia malah sibuk menyelamatkan wanita itu karena menganggapku sudah mati terbakar. Suami dan anakku sampai kaget ketika kami bertemu lagi, "Kamu bahkan sampai pura-pura mati demi membuat kami menderita ...."
