Guilty Crown Mana

En mi vida anterior, nadie me amaba excepto mi Alfa, Grayson. Mis padres y hermanos me trataban como un banco de esencia de lobo para mi hermana Victoria. Pero Grayson recordaba que le tenía miedo a la oscuridad y, discretamente, dejaba una luz nocturna encendida después de mis transfusiones de esencia; guardó en su corazón mi comentario casual de que quería encontrar un lugar tranquilo para pintar y, como si nada, me dio cinco mil millones para comprar mi bosque favorito. Cuando le confesé mis sentimientos, aunque se quedó atónito, aceptó mi declaración y prometió que formalizaríamos nuestra unión. Dios sabe lo feliz que fui en ese momento; resulta que mi amor era correspondido. Solo cuando estaba a punto de morir comprendí que su amabilidad hacia mí estaba condicionada a que continuara donando esencia de lobo a Victoria. Tras renacer, lo primero que hice fue gastar cinco mil millones para comprar un bosque aislado. —Ember, ¿está segura de que quiere adquirir este bosque? Si se muda ahí, quedará casi incomunicada del mundo exterior. Asentí, con un tono de alivio en la voz. —Eso es exactamente lo que quiero: un lugar donde nadie pueda encontrarme. Pero cuando me fui de verdad, ¿por qué mi familia y Grayson perdieron la cabeza y me suplicaron que regresara?

My fated mate, Alpha Horton, didn't love me. He loved another omega, Chloe. In my past life, Chloe took her own life in despair over him, and Horton was convinced I had driven her to it out of jealousy. He hated me to the bone. Even bound by our mate bond, he refused to touch me. But when a rival pack’s silver bullet flew toward me, he shielded me with his own body. As his life drained away, he wrenched his cold hand from mine, his golden eyes filled with nothing but regret and disgust. "Sienna," he said, "my one regret is not rejecting you from the very beginning." After he died, the pack fell apart. Every member cursed me, screaming about why it wasn't me who died, but their great Alpha. It felt like my heart had turned to ash. I swallowed a vial of liquid silver before his grave. When I opened my eyes, I was back ten years in the past, shortly after we were mated. The cold voice of the Moon Goddess echoed in my mind. "Child, I will give you one more chance. Fulfill the three deepest wishes in Horton's heart, and in exchange for your life, your soul will earn its true freedom." I knew his wishes. To break our mate bond. To be with Chloe. To ensure the survival of the Snow Moon pack. This time, it wasn't too late. The freedom he craved, the woman he loved, the pack he swore to protect. I would give it all to him, using the very life he loathed to do it. But when I granted his every wish, in return, he wept with regret, calling me his only fated mate.

The day I died, the baby in my womb was only five months old. In that final phone call, my father, John Harlow, the godfather of the Harlow family, spoke with a voice as icy as a loaded gun. "A married woman belongs to her husband's family, even in death." When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day I had been placed under house arrest. He was circling my college application with a red pen. "Girls who study art are easier to marry off." In front of him, I tore the family's marriage alliance files into pieces. "I'm going to Camford University. I'm studying Computer Science." He sprang to his feet so suddenly that his finger nearly jabbed my face, his sleeve cuff revealing the family crest tattoo. "If you dare defy me, don't ever regard me as godfather." I smiled. "Exactly what I want." Meeting his stunned gaze, I spoke each word deliberately. "The name Harlow. I have long stopped wanting it."
