After my rebirth, I no longer reached out to save Lucas when he was beaten half to death. Wherever he went, I went the other way. When he said we could be together, I refused without hesitation. I cut off every thread that tied us. In my last life, the moment I discovered this Omega was my fated mate, I fell for him recklessly. At first he was cold to me, but once we were together, he treated me with overwhelming care. I thought my sincerity and devotion had won him over. For twenty years, I used my position as the Alpha's daughter to make him the pack's Beta. The first thing he did after becoming Beta was frame my father and drive me to the edge of a cliff. He stood there with his first love in his arms, looking at me with pure hatred. "Why did you tear me and Catherine apart? Why did you make us miss each other for so many years?" In that moment, my heart died. I threw myself off the cliff. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Lucas got beaten by his loan sharks. This time, I planned to stand back and watch the show.

After Lilith died, my fated mate Darian hated me. "If it weren't for you, Lilith would still be alive. Why couldn't it have been you instead?" So he played the loving husband in public. And tortured me in secret. Until I finally died. I was reborn — back to before Lilith's death. This time, I wouldn't cling to Darian. I'd let him have Lilith. When he dropped my hand at my birthday ball and walked toward Lilith, I didn't beg. When he said my scent in the house made him sick, I moved out immediately. When he told me to stop standing between him and his true love, I severed the mate bond without a word and turned to another man. Later, I was walking down the street hand in hand with my new mate. Darian blocked our path like a man possessed, eyes rimmed red: "Grace, come back with me. I can forgive your little joke."

I used to think that Arthur McKinley being my older brother was the luckiest thing that had happened to me. But now, the very same wolf happens to be the most unlucky thing that has happened to me. I'm not his biological sister. Most of my memories are filled with starvation, coldness, violence, lies… Only when Arthur brought me back to the Starfall pack did I finally end my seemingly endless life of being a homeless Rogue. He had given me the warmth and affection that I've never felt before, only to retract everything from me overnight. This all happened just because I had confessed my feelings to him on the night of my awakening. Isn't it natural for me to fall in love with a werewolf who takes immensely good care of me? Moreover, he's also my fated mate. But the problem is, Arthur is my older brother even though we aren't related by blood. It's fine. I believe that I have enough love and passion to melt his heart, just like how he had slowly etched himself into mine back then. Because of that, I choose to not get in contact with my birth parents despite having located them. This is so that I can continue staying in the Starfall pack and by Arthur's side. But everything has changed the moment he brings a she-wolf home and forces me to address her as the Luna. That is the first time his words cut into my heart. Well, I'm terrified of pain, and I'm also rather prideful. So, I lower my head obediently and say, "Hello, Luna." That night, I immediately contact the Alpha and Luna of the Silverfrost pack, who are also my birth parents.

In my previous life, I stood by Robert's side as he grew from the Alpha of a weak, remote pack into the undisputed king of the werewolf world. We raised a child together, and I thought I'd finally found a home that could shelter me from all storms. But when I was bedridden with illness, he couldn't wait to take the child and go find his one true love: my little sister, Bellis. And then came the moment that shattered everything — the child I had treasured with my whole heart calling Bellis "Mom" without a second's hesitation. That was when I finally understood. All those years, I had been living inside a lie — a total, elaborate lie. When I opened my eyes again, I had been reborn, right back to my marking ceremony with Robert. This time, standing at that crossroads, under the gaze of all those guests with their warm, oblivious smiles, I would make a very different choice. What I didn't know yet was that the truth sometimes hides in the small, ordinary moments of life — not in what other people tell you.

Después de que Lilith murió, mi compañero destinado, Darian, me odió. —Si no fuera por ti, Lilith seguiría viva. ¿Por qué no pudiste ser tú en su lugar? Así que en público interpretaba el papel de un esposo amoroso. Y en secreto, me torturaba. Hasta que finalmente morí. Pero renací; volví a antes de la muerte de Lilith. Esta vez, no me aferraría a Darian. Le dejaría quedarse con ella. Cuando soltó mi mano en el baile de mi cumpleaños y caminó hacia Lilith, no le supliqué. Cuando dijo que mi aroma en la casa le daba asco, me mudé de inmediato. Cuando me dijo que dejara de interponerme entre él y su verdadero amor, rompí el vínculo de compañeros sin decir una palabra y me fui con otro hombre. Más tarde, caminaba por la calle tomada de la mano con mi nuevo compañero cuando, de repente, Darian nos bloqueó el paso como un hombre poseído, diciendo con los ojos enrojecidos: —Grace, vuelve conmigo. Puedo perdonar tu bromita.

Después de que murió su primer amor, Oscar me odió durante diez años. Intenté de todo para ablandarle el corazón. Pero nada funcionó. —Si de verdad quieres complacerme, muérete. Aquellas palabras me hirieron hasta lo más profundo. Pero cuando estalló el motín, él se lanzó delante de mí y fue abatido. —Si tan solo… —comenzó a decir, mirándome fijamente mientras se desangraba—… mi compañera destinada no hubieras sido tú. En su funeral, sus padres lloraron desconsolados. —Debimos dejarlo estar con Catherine. Lo obligamos a casarse con ella solo por esa maldita profecía. La Manada Windvale vivía guiada por las profecías. Años atrás, la Vidente había predicho que, si Oscar no tomaba a su compañera destinada como compañera de vínculo, una desgracia caería sobre la manada. Y sí, yo era esa compañera destinada. Pero ahora todos deseaba que nunca lo hubiera sido. Yo incluida. Me echaron del funeral. Me sentía vacía por dentro. Entonces descendió la Diosa de la Luna, ofreciéndome una oportunidad: regresar diez años atrás. Sin embargo, habían dos condiciones. En primer lugar, no me convertiría en la compañera de Oscar. Y, en segundo lugar, evitaría la muerte de Catherine. Acepté sin pensarlo.

My fated mate's secretary was pregnant. He brought her home on my birthday. Then he stood there and gave me orders like it was the most natural thing in the world. "Alina has bad allergies. Be careful when you cook from now on. Don't use anything she's allergic to." "She's pregnant. She needs me next to her at night. Move your things into the guest room." I didn't say anything. I picked up the suitcase I'd already packed and walked toward the door. Alina hugged Dominic's arm and let her voice go soft and small. "Dominic, if Mia's upset about it, just forget it." Dominic let out a cold laugh. "Let her sulk. She'll come crawling back in three days." Alina smiled. So did the servants. To them, I was just a stray Omega Dominic had picked up off the street. The only reason I had a place in this house was because I was his fated mate. Without him, I had nowhere to go. What none of them knew was that my real father, the Alpha King, had already sent a private jet to bring me home. This time, I really was leaving.

Everyone in Phantom Pack knew their Alpha, Riven Drake, was devoted to me — completely and without question. No matter how slammed he was, he always called to check in, right on time, every time. But the night before our marking ceremony, he vanished. No call, no word, nothing. I lost all sense of him through our mate bond, and my gut told me he was in danger. I was ready to drop everything and go find him — body wrecked as I was — when he finally walked through the door. He came in holding a woman who reeked of him, barely able to stand, and dropped to his knees in front of me. "Natasha, Helen got hurt saving my life. I can't just let her die." To atone for his sins before me, he stabbed himself with a silver dagger. Then, not even an hour after our marking ceremony ended, I heard his Beta laughing with him: "Alpha, that aphrodisiac must've been something else. Helen looked like she was about to pass out." Riven's voice had a satisfied edge to it. "Yeah, I'll have to go easier next time. Don't want her cutting me off." "Anyway — my little troublemaker's calling." It hit me like a punch to the chest. I picked up my phone and called my brother. "Cole. I want to come home to Starlight Pack. Can you send someone in five days?" He sounded surprised, then happy. "Of course. I'll have someone there in five days." Five days. I was giving myself five days. Giving Riven five days. He thought I was just another werewolf. Thought he had me completely figured out. He had no idea I was something else entirely — a descendant of the Dragon Clan, something out of legend. I was never his to control.

After his first love died, Oscar hated me for ten years. I tried everything to soften him. Nothing worked. "If you really want to please me, go die." The words cut deep. But when the riot came, he threw himself in front of me and was hacked down where he stood. He stared at me as he bled out. "If only… my fated mate hadn't been you." At his funeral, his parents wept. "We should have let him be with Catherine. We forced him to marry her, all because of that damn prophecy." Windvale Pack lived by prophecy. Years ago, the Seer had foretold that if Oscar didn't take his fated mate as his bond-mate, disaster would fall on the pack. I was that fated mate. But now, everyone wished I never had been. Even me. I was driven from the funeral, hollow. Then the Moon Goddess descended. She offered me a chance—ten years back—on two conditions. I would not become Oscar's mate. I would prevent Catherine's death. I said yes without thinking.

Depois que seu primeiro amor morreu, Oscar me odiou por dez anos. Eu tentei de tudo para amolecer o coração dele. Nada funcionou. — Se você quer mesmo me agradar, então faça o favor de morrer. Aquelas palavras me cortaram fundo. Mas, quando a rebelião estourou, ele se jogou na minha frente e foi golpeado até cair ali mesmo, onde estava. Enquanto sangrava sem parar, ele ficou me encarando. — Se ao menos... minha companheira predestinada não fosse você. No funeral dele, seus pais choraram. — Nós devíamos ter deixado ele ficar com Catherine. Nós o obrigamos a se casar com ela, tudo por causa daquela maldita profecia. A alcateia Windvale vivia de profecias. Anos antes, a vidente anunciou que, se Oscar não tomasse sua companheira predestinada como companheira de vínculo, uma tragédia cairia sobre a alcateia. Eu era essa companheira predestinada; mas agora, todos desejavam que eu nunca tivesse sido. Até eu. Fui expulsa do funeral, me sentindo vazia por dentro. Então, a Deusa da Lua desceu. Ela me deu uma chance: voltar dez anos no tempo, sob duas condições. Eu não me tornaria a companheira de Oscar, e impediria a morte de Catherine. Aceitei sem pensar.
