Dad attends a banquet with his ex-girlfriend, and they make headlines. Everyone mocks Mom for this, saying that she hasn't gotten anything out of her relationship with Dad. They make fun of her for giving up her successful career for his sake to end up with nothing—she can't even tell a homewrecker off. Mom looks at me tiredly after bawling her eyes out. "He let me down first, so I don't want him anymore. Do you want to leave with me, Rosie?" Just then, my phone pings. I've received a text from my boyfriend of seven years. "I'm just going through the motions and registering my marriage with someone else, Rosalie. You'll still be my girlfriend!" After a brief silence, I nod and tell Mom I'll leave with her. On the day of the double weddings, Mom and I disappear after a fire at our villa.

On the day of my first shift and pack betrothal ceremony with my fated mate, Leon, an unfamiliar Omega appeared, clutching a young boy who broke free and ran to Leon, calling him “Daddy.” To everyone’s shock, Leon embraced the child and admitted the truth: four years ago, he had a brief encounter with Mia, the boy’s mother. Now exiled and vulnerable, she had nowhere else to go. Leon declared he needed to protect them—give them a name, a place—and said he would complete a bonding ceremony with Mia, “temporarily,” for the child’s sake. He asked me, the Alpha’s daughter, to be understanding. Promised his heart still belonged to me. But as the pack watched, they stood together—him, Mia, and the boy—and performed their bonding ceremony in the very place mine was meant to be. That was the day I shifted for the first time and the day I was publicly betrayed by my own mate.

In meinem vorigen Leben veranstaltete mein Bruder nur deshalb eine Nacht mit Sternschnuppen für seine Geliebte, weil sie den Wunsch geäußert hatte, welche zu sehen. Also fuhr er mit all seinen Leibwächtern aufs Land, um ihr diesen Wunsch zu erfüllen. Unglücklicherweise nutzten die Feinde, die mein Bruder ruiniert hatte, die Gelegenheit und brachen in unser Haus ein, um Rache zu nehmen und unsere Familie auszulöschen. Meine Mutter beschützte mich unter Aufopferung ihres eigenen Lebens, wurde schwer verletzt und schwebte zwischen Leben und Tod. Ich rief meinen Bruder mehrmals an und flehte ihn an, sofort zurückzukehren und uns zu retten. Schließlich kam er unwillig mit seinen Leibwächtern zurück. Die Feinde wurden gefasst, doch da erreichte uns eine tragische Nachricht vom Land. Seine Geliebte hatte einen Abschiedsbrief hinterlassen und war verschwunden, ihr Schicksal war ungewiss. In dem Brief warf sie mir vor, ich hätte absichtlich meinen Bruder weggelockt. Dadurch sei sie in die Hände der Feinde gefallen, wurde gefoltert und habe deshalb Selbstmord begangen. Mein Bruder verbrannte gleichgültig ihren Brief und sagte mir, ich solle mir nichts daraus machen. Danach wurde meinem Bruder die Schuld gegeben, und mein Vater versprach mir, die Leitung des Familienunternehmens zu überlassen. Doch nach dem Jubelbankett wurde ich in meinem Schlafzimmer von meinem Bruder grausam getötet. Ohne jede Regung sagte er kalt: „So eine giftige Person wie du hätte schon lange sterben sollen.“ „Du hättest sterben sollen, und das Familienerbe gehört mir!“ Voll bitterer Groll starb ich. Als ich die Augen wieder öffnete, war vor dem Villa das Geräusch von eindringenden Feinden zu hören, die die Tür aufbrachen.
