Tamara’s
“Who are you talking too?” Jack suddenly asked and I nearly dropped my phone when I turned to see him watching me from a few feet away, his eyes sharp and suspicious. My heart began to race as I fumbled to end the call, before forcing a smile that I hoped looked more natural than it felt. “Who were you talking to?” Jack asked again but I thought I could hear suspicion in his voice and in the way he was looking at me. I swallowed hard, trying to maintain my cool. “Oh, just my mum,” I lied. “She wanted to catch up and talk about the wedding.” Jack’s eyes lingered on me, like he wasn’t fully convinced and my mind began to race then, because what if he’d heard any part of my conversation with King Dante? What if he truly became suspicious of me? Shit! I couldn’t let him find out I knew any of his plans yet. I couldn’t let him suspect anything before I got a chance to start my revenge. I had to distract him. Without thinking, I moved closer to him and pressed my lips softly to his. His lips were warm, but I didn’t feel any of the comfort his kisses used to give me. I just needed to distract him enough, so I pulled back and smiled up at him, batting my eyelashes suggestively. “You look so good darling, what's the occasion?” I asked, letting my fingers trail over the formal warrior attire I now noticed he was wearing. My kiss seemed to have worked more than I expected because he stammered to gather his thoughts. “Oh uh, there’s a little meeting with the pack’s warriors,” he said dismissively, as if it were no big deal. “Nothing you need to worry about.” I blinked, stunned. "There is a meeting with My own warriors? Why didn’t you tell me?” Jack sighed before pulling me into a hug as if I was a child he needed to comfort. “Tamara, such meetings are not a place for women. You wouldn’t even understand all our talks about war and strategies. Just stay here and focus on picking flowers and planning our wedding Ok? Let me handle the important things.” He said as if he was talking to a child. I felt my temper flare up but I quickly restrained it and forced myself to smile up at him as if he was right. Like I hadn’t spent my whole life being trained to fight and lead my pack, only to be told by my back stabbing asshole of a fiancé that my role was to just pick flowers. In my last life, Jack had done this to me over and over again. He had purposefully kept me away from every important meeting with my warriors, every gathering with my leaders, and every festival where the other Alphas of neighboring packs came together. I later realized too late that he was doing this to make me look like a selfish, dumb, lazy girl who didn’t care about ruling the pack or give a damn about her own people. And unfortunately for me, they all believed it. All my warriors, the other Alphas and my own people believed him and Katie over me. I would never forget that final moment of my past life—when I was crying out for help to my guards as I lay dying on the floor, and even though they clearly heard me, they all chose to ignore me. Because by then, I wasn’t their loving Luna anymore. I was nothing to them. But that would not happen again, not this time. This time, I would make it right, and I would show all of them the kind of Luna I could be. Starting now. I forced a smile on my face and agreed with him. “You’re right sweetheart, I should focus on the wedding.” Jack smiled down at me in approval, and I felt disgust in my throat. “That’s my baby girl.” He said. “So submissive, just like you should be. It’s what I love most about you.” I found it very very hard not to just vomit then, but I managed to control myself. What he loved was how easy it was to control and kill the old me. But he had no idea that the old Tamara was long dead now. “Don’t worry Tammie,” he continued. “I promise to take you to the annual harvest festival coming up soon. You can wear one of your pretty dresses and I’ll introduce you to the other alphas there. We’ll show them just how beautiful my wife is.” He said and my face lit up in a genuine smile. 'Oh yes! the harvest festival! The one place where all the surrounding Alphas would gather to celebrate. I absolutely needed to attend it if I was going to win over any Alpha's support to my side in my past Life, Jack also took me the festival, but then Katie came along, and Jack spent the whole night flaunting her off as the Luna while I was forced by shame to hide in the background. But things would be different this time, I would go to the festival, and I would establish an alliance with the Alphas myself. Jack and Katie were not going to humiliate me this time. With these thoughts in mind, I smiled and nodded like an obedient little doll, but the moment he walked out of the room, my smile dropped. He had no idea what was coming to him, and I couldn’t wait to give him a piece of his own medicine.Heyy, thanks for reading! You are awesome. Please remember to review and vote. It means a whole lot to me. Thanks!
Tamara’s POV As soon as Jack was out of sight, I rushed to my room, and went straight to the closet. It was time to begin my plan. I shoved aside the soft, delicate dresses Jack liked me to wear and reached for the boldest, most daring outfit I had. It was a leather warrior set, black and fierce, with intricate gold and silver designs that gleamed in the light. The material hugged my body in all the right places, showcasing both my curves but still making me look powerful. It was a piece specifically made for a Luna. It commanded attention, and respect, so Jack hated it when I wore it. He didn’t like the fact that whenever I wore it, every single pair of eyes always ignored him to focus on me. It was perfect. I turned to the mirror and started applying a little makeup. That was another thing Jack had never allowed me to do in my past life. He used to say that he didn’t want me looking too good, because he was afraid that someone would realize how beautiful I was
Tamara’s POV I felt rage bubbling inside me, but I forced myself to remain calm. This wasn’t the time to lose control. I needed to keep my head clear so I could act well. Katie wasn’t just sitting in the Luna’s chair, she was sitting very intimately with Jack, her hands were on his chest and her body was practically draped over him, making my blood boil even more. She was in my seat. With my warriors, and my fiancé and she was acting like she belonged there, my vision turn red. But as soon as Katie saw me standing at the door, she yanked herself away from Jack as if she’d been burned. But the damage was already done. I realized with a sickening clarity that they didn’t even bother to hide their affair in front of everyone else. No, they only pretended in front of me because they thought I was too naïve, too blindly in love with Jack, to ever believe anyone else who told me the truth Well jokes on them, I already knew everything. The whole room had frozen when i b
Tamara’s POV I blinked, not fully processing what he had just said. “What?” My voice came out more shocked than I intended.Jack gave me that practiced, fake sympathetic look that begged me to be understanding. “Please Tamara, as a good Luna, you should try to show compassion and kindness to your people, especially your sister. Katie is still healing,” he explained, as if that somehow justified what he was asking. “And since you’ve been so kind to her, I thought… maybe you could allow her to go with me instead of with you? She’s never attended a glamorous event like this before, and maybe it could help cheer her up.”I stared at him in disbelief. In our previous life, he had allowed me to attend the festival, but he also brought Kate with us—that day turned out to be nothing short of a nightmare. I was humiliated in front of the other alphas and forced to stand in the background, while Jack paraded Kate around like she was his fiancée instead of me. But this time, I had plans
Tamara’s POV As soon as I finally stepped away from the crowd, Violet came up beside me, her face a mixture of concern and curiosity. “Tamara, how are you doing?” she asked, her voice soft but serious and I realized she had overheard the drama between Jack, Katie and I.I smiled, trying to push down the whirlwind of emotions brewing inside me. “I’m okay. Why do you ask?”Violet glanced around, making sure no one was within earshot before leaning closer. “I have something important to tell you.”My interest piqued, and I turned fully toward her. “What is it?”Violet hesitated, “I think you need to sit down first,” she said and pulled me into a chair, before sitting with me.“So what is it?” I asked, genuinely curious.Violet nervously bit her lip before finally blurting out, “Jack and Katie… I think, no, I know they’re having an affair.” She said and tensed up, waiting for my reaction.A loud laugh burst out of me before I could stop it. I was actually expecting something wors
Tamara's POV I went to bed that night fully expecting to be drugged. It was strange, this feeling of déjà vu that had been creeping over me ever since I was reborn into this life. I knew exactly what was going to happen. Jack was going to offer me that same warm milk he always did, the one that I’d once thought was a simple gesture of affection. But now, after everything I had remembered, I knew better. The milk was laced with sleeping tablets. It had to be. As I lay there, pretending to be engrossed in a book, I noticed Jack out of the corner of my eye. He was standing near the door, holding the glass of milk, but there was a hesitation in his movements that wasn’t usually there. His eyes seemed to linger on me more than usual, like he was weighing his options, or maybe trying to gauge if I suspected anything."Are you okay?" I asked softly, lowering my book and glancing up at him.Jack blinked, quickly masking whatever thoughts had been playing across his mind with a charming smil
I watched Kate’s eyes light up as she held my favorite red dress in her hands, completely unaware of the trap I was setting for her. She thought she was outsmarting me, that somehow by taking this dress, she’d outshine me at the festival. The idea almost made me laugh. It was so predictable, so easy.“Oh, Kate,” I said sweetly, taking a step closer to her. “You’re really going to wear that one? I mean, it’s lovely, but don’t you think it’s a bit… bold for someone like you? You might not be able to pull it off the way I can.”Her eyes narrowed for a brief second before her expression brightened again, her smile too wide, too fake. “I think I’ll manage,” she said, holding the dress up to her body and admiring herself in the mirror. “Besides, I’m sure Jack will love it.”I forced a soft laugh. “Oh, I’m sure he will.” I paused, letting my voice drop into something more conspiratorial. “But… if you really want to make an impression, I think I have something even better.”Kate’s eyes flicke
Tamara’s POVThe next evening, as I walked down the hallway leading to our room, I heard their voices. Jack and Kate were getting ready for the festival, their low murmurs carrying to me before I reached the door. Curiosity piqued, I slowed my steps, peering through the slightly ajar door.There they were—Jack standing tall in his crisp black suit, Kate in that ghastly yellow dress I had so kindly “gifted” her. They were too close, too familiar, and I felt a surge of disgust rise in me as I watched Kate touch Jack’s arm, leaning in to whisper something in his ear. Her hand lingered on his chest, and Jack didn’t pull away.Just as Kate tilted her head up, clearly aiming for a kiss, I decided it was time to intervene. I pushed the door open fully, stepping inside with deliberate confidence. The sound of my heels on the wooden floor made them jump apart like guilty children caught doing something they shouldn’t.I pretended not to notice their startled expressions and plastered on a bri
Tamara's POVViolet and I entered the grand hall of the festival together. The place was alive with activity—people chatting, music playing, drinks being served. At first, no one seemed to notice us. It was as if we were just two more guests blending into the crowd. But then, slowly, heads began to turn. Conversations quieted, and suddenly, the room felt like it was holding its breath.Violet stepped forward, holding out our invitation to the postman at the door. His eyes widened as he read it, and without hesitation, he loudly announced, “Introducing the Luna of the Crimson Pack, Tamara!”The murmurs started instantly. I could hear them—whispers of confusion, surprise, and doubt. “Luna of the Crimson Pack?” someone questioned. “But isn’t Kate the Luna?”“How can there be two Lunas?” another voice chimed in.I scanned the room and found Jack and Kate frozen in place. Jack looked like he’d just seen a ghost, while Kate looked mortified. My gaze met Jack’s, and in that moment, I realize
