I was the eldest daughter of the Shadow Wolves pack. Anyone who married me would gain the full support of Shadow Wolves. Every wolf in the pack knew that Ryan Trivett and I had grown up together, practically destined for each other. I'd been infatuated with him for as long as I could remember. In this life, though, I didn't choose Ryan. Instead, I ended up with his uncle, Lucas Trivett. Why? Because in my previous life, I had been married to Ryan for five years, and he had never touched me. I used to think he had his reasons—some secret burden he couldn't share. But one day, I accidentally stumbled into the hidden chamber behind our bedroom. There, I saw him pleasuring himself to a photo of my cousin. That was the moment I realized the truth. He never loved me. He had only ever used me. Now, with this second chance at life, I had decided to let them have each other. But when I walked down the aisle in my wedding dress toward Lucas, Ryan completely lost it.
View MoreAfter Lucas and I officially got married, Ryan didn't settle down at all.He had a major falling out with Silver Claws and left the pack, choosing to strike out on his own. He loudly declared that one day, he would defeat Lucas and win me back.Unfortunately, Ryan was never particularly talented. Without the resources and support of Silver Claws, he lacked the ability to form his own wolf pack.Lucas, on the other hand, shifted all his efforts to domestic matters after our marriage. With the overseas resources he had already accumulated, he quickly secured his footing within Silver Claws. Adding my Alpha King bloodline to the equation, Lucas led Silver Claws to unprecedented heights.One day, I asked him out of curiosity, "What would you have done if you hadn't married me in this lifetime?"A flicker of vulnerability and sorrow appeared in his eyes. "My Luna," he said softly, "let me tell you a story. Ten years ago, I happened to return to the pack to attend a coming-of-age cere
Lucas, worried that I might feel troubled by recent events, deliberately freed up a lot of time to take me out to eat, drink, and have fun. Spending time with him made my wolf incredibly happy—even stronger. He was always concerned that I might be upset. Holding tightly onto his broad shoulders, I said, "I'm not upset, really. Just regretful. I can't believe I wasted so much of my youth loving someone so revolting." He wrapped his arms around me, kissing my forehead gently. "It's okay. I'm here now. From now on, I'll personally fill your days with happiness." We kissed passionately, and at that moment, I could feel my wolf's excitement rising too. But then, he stopped. "Babe, when the time is right, I'll savor every part of you. But not now." Blushing deeply, I nodded. He kissed me with incredible tenderness, our tongues intertwining. In each other's arms, we drifted off to sleep. On my birthday night, Lucas rented out the most expensive rooftop restaurant with
Over the next few days, Lucas and I got along surprisingly well. Our personalities complemented each other, and we both made an effort to understand and accommodate one another. In just a short time, it felt as though we had become soulmates. For the first time, I realized how much of my life I had wasted loving the wrong person.A few days later, a friend sent me a congratulatory message.[Alice, after pursuing Ryan for so many years, you've finally won his heart! [I heard your wedding is just around the corner—I can't wait to celebrate with you!]Since Silver Claws was prestigious, the exact wedding date would only be announced once it was officially decided. As a result, everyone in the wolf pack still assumed Ryan was the one I was going to marry.Curious about her texts, I hesitated for a moment before checking Ryan's social media profile, even though I'd blocked him. What I saw left me stunned. His profile picture and pinned post had all been changed to pictures of me. His
Ryan still didn't seem to understand what was going on. His expression remained relaxed as he said, "Uncle Lucas is getting married too? That's great news! Hey, how about we hold the wedding together? That way, Silver Claws can really have a good time celebrating!" Ryan's father frowned and barked, "What nonsense are you spouting? There's no 'together'. It's not your turn to get married yet! It's Lucas and Alice who are getting married! Stop causing trouble here!" Turning to me with a pleased smile, he raised his glass. "Honestly, I thought I'd never live to see the day my brother got married. Alice, this toast is for you!" It finally dawned on Ryan. His face froze, and his voice quivered as he stammered, "D-Dad… who did you say is getting married?" Before Ryan's father could reply, Lucas clasped my hand and placed it on the table for everyone to see, meeting Ryan's stunned gaze. "The ones getting married are Alice and me." "This can't be! This is absolutely impossible!" Ryan
Ryan noticed my choice and frowned. He got up, walked over, and sat next to me with a scowl. "You're really making this a thing now, huh? I saved you a seat, and you're still pulling this attitude."I furrowed my brow, annoyed, and was about to tell him the seat was meant for Lucas when the dining room doors opened.A tall figure strode in. Lucas was clad in a sleek, silver-gray wolf fur coat, his heavy combat boots thudding against the floor with each confident step.After years apart, Lucas appeared much more mature than I remembered. His every movement exuded an effortless nobility that couldn't be hidden. Everyone present stood up in unison. In recent years, Lucas had grown his business abroad to an impressive scale. Even the weapons for Silver Claws' military unit were funded by him. All eyes were on him, but his gaze found only me. When he noticed Ryan standing beside me, a fleeting look of disappointment seemed to flash in his eyes. I opened my mouth to explain, but before I
I stared at the remnants of the cake still clinging to my hands. Wiping away my tears, I sighed. What a waste of all my hard work. Then again, if it took a few cakes to truly see someone for who they were, perhaps it wasn't such a bad trade-off after all.Tonight was the family dinner where I'd officially meet Lucas for the first time. Naturally, I wanted to leave a good impression. After freshening up and collecting myself, I headed down to the underground parking lot.From a distance, I noticed a car rocking subtly. As I approached, it became clear—it was Ryan's Rolls-Royce. The driver's side window was slightly ajar, revealing Ryan cradling Willow in his lap. Her half-lidded eyes glimmered with intoxicated passion, and her soft, breathy moans filled the air as her body moved rhythmically against his.Though I'd long accepted that Ryan didn't love me, the unexpected sight still hit me like a punch. My heart clenched reflexively.Ryan opened his eyes, which locked onto mine. For a f
So Willow had been reborn too. No wonder, in our previous lives, she and Ryan had no connection on the surface, yet in this life, they were openly engaging in the kinds of intimate actions only couples would dare to. It seemed they had already confirmed their shared rebirth and were determined to use this opportunity to rekindle the unfinished bond from their past lives. Lowering my gaze, I thought of the memories from my past life. Back then, I had married Ryan with a heart full of joy, naively believing I had found my happiness. Because of our union, Ryan's pack, Silver Claws, had attracted countless allies from outside packs, forging powerful alliances. I had stayed by Ryan's side, assisting him in securing numerous business deals. Under our efforts, Silver Claws quickly rose to become the wealthiest wolf clan. The elders of Silver Claws had praised me as a blessing to their family, treating me with exceptional care. Yet, I remained blissfully unaware of the truths lu
When they returned, their fingers were interlocked as they strolled to the center of the festival grounds.Willow's mouth was swollen and red, while Ryan bore several conspicuous kiss marks on his neck.The crowd's gazes were laced with amusement, waiting to see my reaction. In the past, whenever I saw another woman acting intimately with Ryan, I'd inevitably throw a fit, clinging to him and demanding his attention.But this time, I merely stood in the corner, quietly watching them while savoring a delicious raspberry tart.Ryan positioned Willow protectively behind him, his gaze briefly flicking to me. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by a mocking smirk."Looks like you've grown up this time," he sneered. "At least you're not throwing a tantrum like before."I didn't bother to respond. Instead, I casually finished the last bite of my tart and turned to leave.Every year during the Full Moon Festival, I'd make it a point to ride the Ferris whee
The day after our engagement was finalized, the Shadow Wolves celebrated the annual Full Moon Festival—a grand event for the pack.Moonlight bathed the stage, which served as the heart of the celebration. At its center was a massive stone altar holding ceremonial goblets and offerings dedicated to the Moon Goddess. Behind the stage loomed a towering Ferris wheel, its lights twinkling against the night sky.In one corner of the festival grounds, Ryan Trivett leaned casually against an ancient tree, a silver goblet in hand. He was boasting to his friends about his latest hunting exploits.The moment I stepped into the bustling festival, his friend, Blake Glisson, was the first to notice me."Hey, Ryan, your little shadow is here again," Blake said with a grin, his teasing tone drawing laughter from the nearby wolves."You guys are engaged already, and she's still trailing after you like a pup!" someone else chimed in.Ryan turned his head and spotted me, a flash of irritation crossing hi
