Quickly, she scrambled up the pile of rubble blocking her path. Just as she reached the top, her human nose picked up the scent of her Alpha and mate, Jason. Even though he had rejected her as soon as the mate bond surfaced on her 18th birthday, his unique smell of peppermint tea and cedarwood still made her blood sing and pulse race.

I never knew that our relationship would be over so soon. •••••••••••••••••••••• I wiped my damp eyes and cheeks while glancing up when I heard loud music playing downstairs. I got up, hiccupped twice and blew out my nose in the last piece of tissue paper that was fortunately still alive. The others were crumpled in a big mess and thrown around me like trash.

They don't know I have plans, lots and lots of plans. It's a different feeling when you have a new lease on life. It's as if the whole world has been opened up to you, or as they say, it's your oyster.

One year later, my short-video platform had cleared the 100-million-user mark, so I rode the wave and rolled out livestream shopping. Capital rushed in the second they saw the potential, everyone scrambling for a slice. The factories and agricultural lines I worked with started booming on live streams.

In my past life, I refused to give him up, and she hated me for a lifetime. She even taught my own son to reject me. In this life, I retreated first. I removed myself from everything and escaped to the far Northern Territory. I never imagined we would speak at all. After a moment's hesitation, I answered.

“The selections have been made.” Anxiety twists its way through me, its sharp claws squeezing my insides tight. Somehow, the gym becomes even more silent.
