Alice, My Only Love

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

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

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

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

After 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
