The day I marry Navy Captain Dean Aldridge, I hear his stepsister Shirley Pierce's inner voice. "Diane is so beautiful and graceful. I wish I could be like her, but I'm nothing more than an unwanted burden in this family… "I really adore her, though. I saved up my allowance to buy her a bracelet as a wedding gift, but I'm afraid she'll think it's unlucky and refuse it." In my last life, those words had filled my heart with pity. I'd accepted the bracelet and even taken Shirley under my wing, teaching her to read and write. But not long after my wedding, my health began to deteriorate for no reason. It wasn't until I lay dying that I discovered the truth—the bracelet Shirley had given me was cursed, and she'd deliberately made me hear her inner voice. She'd long been in love with Dean and was determined to make the Aldridge family hers one day. Now, when I open my eyes again, I find myself back on my wedding day.

"In the presence of the Moon Goddess and all members of the Pack, I, Damian, Alpha of Silvermoon Pack, officially reject Seraphina as my mate!” On the day of my Mating Ceremony when I was twenty, my childhood Alpha and Fated Mate, Damian, brought back an unfamiliar female werewolf, Vivian. He claimed that on the Night of Souls, the silhouette of the Fated Soul he had seen was hers, not mine. “Vivian has told me everything. You gave me a Hallucination Potion to make me believe my Fated Mate was you. Now, it’s time to correct that mistake!” The moment the words left his mouth, my heart felt like it was being torn apart. Pain ripped through my whole body. Our Mate Bond splintered, inch by inch. I dropped to my knees, blood trickling from the corner of my lips as I clutched my chest. My other childhood friend and also the pack’s Beta, Ethan, just watched coldly. “There was never a Mate Bond between you and Damian. Enough with your pitiful act! The more you do this, the more we’ll despise you.” The mate I loved most, and the friend I trusted the most, teamed up to rub my nose in the dirt in front of everyone. Their words were like knives, gutting me open bit by bit. Staggering, I turned and fled from the pack. Once, it was a place that held all my happiness. Now, there was only coldness and betrayal. None of them cared, convinced I was just throwing a tantrum and would come crawling back sooner or later. It wasn’t until weeks later that they learned I had begun the Healer’s closed-door training. All ties must be severed, and complete solitude was required. I wasn't allowed to return for ten years. That was the moment they finally fell apart.

Berbeda dari gadis kebanyakan, dia terbilang unik. Hidupnya tidak ada kata repot. Apa yang ingin dia lakukan, akan dilakukan. Apa yang tidak, tentu tidak akan dilakukan. Disaat teman seusianya sibuk mempercantik diri dengan berbagai brand dan merek skincare, dia tidak. Dia lebih memilih mengoleksi berbagai macam makanan dan cemilan untuk perut rampingnya. Iya, sekalipun ia memiliki porsi makan yang cukup banyak dan berbagai cemilan yang selalu dia stok, tubuhnya tidak gemuk, bahkan cenderung kurus. "Ehe... Makan aja banyak, badan kering kerontang!" begitulah ungkapan yang sering dia dengar dari teman-temannya. Tapi dia tidak pernah ambil pusing, dia justru bangga dan akan menjawab "Banyak yang mau jadi aku, makan banyak tapi badan tetap kurus". Bukan hanya banyak makan tapi tubuh kurus yang menjadi karakteristiknya, kulitnya yang gelap cenderung coklat juga sering menjadi bahan ledekan teman-temannya. "Minum susu putih, biar putihan dikit kau", "Suntik putih dulu kau, biar gak hitam". Saat pernyataan-pernyataan seperti itu dia dengar, dia hanya diam. Sesekali mungkin dia akan menanggapi dengan nada sedikit bercanda "Kalian buta ya, kulitku ini coklat muda. Hitam dari mana coba?" Meski dalam hati, tentu dia merasa tidak percaya diri. Standar kecantikan 'memiliki kulit putih' membuatnya merasa tidak cantik. Tapi sebenarnya dia manis, hm.. tidak-tidak, kata manis bukan penghibur untuk mereka yang memiliki kulit dengan tona gelap. Dia benar-benar manis, di mata orang yang tepat. Dan lagi, bukan dia tidak berusaha untuk memiliki kulit yang cerah, bahkan mencoba cara instan dia pun pernah.
