I slowly regained consciousness and watched an expensive chandelier hang above me. .
I lay on a silk sheet. It was as though I was in heaven. I felt so comfortable and happy.Heaven, do I really deserve to be there?I sat up, staring in disbelief at my surroundings.This was clearly the bedroom I shared with Ethan in his mansion.How did I return here all of a sudden?I quickly pushed the bedsheet off, rushing to the bathroom to check my reflection.It was still me. The beautiful Charlotte.Ten years ago, I was still Ethan's Luna, with a beautiful face praised by all. I have heard the rumor that I am the most beautiful woman in my pack, but after spending so much time in prison, I became the ghost of myself.Back then, as long as I smiled, numerous men would run over to me. And few will scamper away when they find out my wolf is runt.I was dazed by the face staring back at me.No way! Have I been reborn?Before I could recover from the shock, the room door swung open. "Sis, last night, did you and Ethan?..."I turned around to face her.Seeing the bite in my neck, her sweet voice became sharper: "You guys slept together?!"My heart skipped as I recalled the familiar scene. Not only was I reborn, but I have returned to ten years ago. The very week before Ethan and I got divorced.Last night was the first time we slept together in two years of our marriage. The night he finally marked me as his mate.I have always insisted on divorce since I was unfamiliar with the wolf bond. My wolf is the weakest, and most times I believe that I am just a human.Ethan has always been considerate of my feelings and has never forced me. His wolf recognized that we were mates first, and I did everything in my power to counter that.I was the beta's first daughter, and as at that time Ethan was still the Alpha prince, he was cold and indifferent to everyone, and I hated the fact that I was going to get married to a man like that.I kept on refusing him until the day I stood up to my parents and talked back at them. I was forced. I was literally pushed into marrying him, and I can't stop blaming him for that.During the last few months before our divorce, he endured all of my temper outbursts, and because I wouldn't want to see him, he would stay back at his office or work so late to make sure that I had slept deeply before he returned.Everything that happened the previous night was Isabella's idea, as long as I drug his wine and found a suitable woman for him. Cheating would be a very good ground for our divorce.However, I guess that when Ethan noticed that there was a problem with his wine, he refused anyone from touching him and tossed me into his room, locking the door behind him.He didn't care about my cries and screams. He pressed me down on the bed, fulfilling his role as my mate for the entire night.Everything that happened was so vivid in my head, and there was no way it was a dream."Big sis?"I almost forgot that Isabella was still standing in front of the door."What went wrong? How did you end up sleeping in his bed anyway?""His bed? That's our matrimony bedroom.""I'm just worried about you. Now that the plan is messed up, I wonder how long it will take for the divorce. You need to get away from him so you can get an eligible second chance.I walk over to her, looking at the mysteriously transparent silk gown she was putting on."I'm glad he came to my room; what if he had seen you on this? What do you think we would explain to the pack and our family?"She carefully bit her lips, trying to hide the guilt. "It was too hot yesterday, sis, and...""Was it that hot? It's the beginning of spring.""Uh... Not... Not especially hot, though; maybe I caught a fever. But that's the least important now. Maybe we should try another way, like you running away from the pack and threatening to go rougue if he doesn't sign the divorce paper.""That could be dangerous, Isabella. What if he doesn't sign it and I end up homeless? You know very well that father won't even accept to lend me a hand."Isabella chuckled. "That won't happen, sis. I have been saving some money; you could have a good life. Really !"There was silence. I just couldn't believe that all this time my little sister had brainwashed me. To think of it. She became so weird after I got married to Ethan, and she won't stop talking about how men dump their mate after they get pregnant or how the alpha's marriage crumbled and the wife ended up committing suicide."Are you still listening to me, Charlie?"I smiled. Keeping my temper locked in. "I have heard you, Isabella, but you have to go now. I need to rest since I couldn't get any sleep yesterday night.I saw her brows furrow in jealousy at my last statement."Go, I won't see you off."I pushed her slightly out of the main door and locked it.I could hear my own rapid breathing.Everywhere became silent again. I turned to look at the room that I once shared with Ethan. I touched the warning silk sheet, which still had the smell of my mate on it.Everything could re-start again.This time, I will put in all my effort to make sure that the divorce never happens.I have come back to love you, Ethan!.Luna's choosing a game!. It was more of a death trap than a game. That was what my father once said when I was still little—who knew I would participate in one myself one day? All through the night, I kept thinking about what it would be like. My mother-in-law doesn't like me, and she would even do anything within her power to make sure I was not chosen. I thought mate bonding was supposed to be all that I had to do. I looked at my surroundings and sighed. I slept in Ethan's room but woke up in mine. Does he really not want me again, or is he just avoiding trouble? I threw the sheet in a corner and headed out to look for him. The moment I opened the door, I saw him standing right at the door and adjusting his wrist watch. I could smell that he had just showered. "Are you feeling unwell?" Ethan asked, seeing my pale skin and my drowsy eyes. He placed his hands on my forehead, avoiding the part that was a bit swollen. I involuntarily hugged him tightly. I didn't even realize th
When I left the hospital, it was already dark. Ethan had called me repeatedly and even offered to drive me home, but I assured him I was okay. My phone dinged again, and since I was relaxed in the car, I decided to check out what notifications I had been receiving since morning."Oh shit! No way did I forget about that?!" I screamed as I read out the notification: October 30th, Ethan Sheln's birthday !I bit my lips in regret; I couldn't even wish him a happy birthday. How would he then believe I had changed for the better? "Could you stop me over there?" I pointed to Terrace Jewelry and Co. once I sighted it. It is one of the best jewelry shops in the Crimson Stone Pack. They have gold, silver, diamonds—whatever gem you want, just name it; they've got it. When I got into the store, the sales personnel didn't bother to attend to me. The reason was obvious. This store is for the rich and influential members of the pack, but today I dressed so casually because I had to rush, so I w
I stormed out of the house frustrated. I didn't know what exactly I would do next if I stayed there a little longer Anger, betrayal, and a burning desire for revenge churned within me. I just wanted a fresh air so I decided to walk back home even though it was getting late. Although I drove to the the nearest car wash before walking down the house with my legs. I dialed Ethan's number but after the second ring he still didn't pick. I felt really bad because he was the one that insisted I call him when I want that he would come running to me. I called Kiara and even before the first ring furnished she picked up.." Hi bestie!""What's up Kiara. How are you doing""I'm good. Just having issue with the next plot twist I 'd add to my book. Or maybe I should kill some minor character""It better not be Jade cos I will murder you too" I said in an alarming serious tone. "Alright. Alright ". She laughed. If there was someone that made to to start reading books it was Kiara. When we
~ Ethan ~I have been in a meeting for the past three hours with the board of directors, who decided to shift the time of our meeting from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. My phone rang like twice; I ignored it and silenced it. We just finished, and I headed back to my office, with Vincent following closely behind. I checked my phone call details to see that it was Charlotte who called. If I knew she was the one calling, I would have abandoned the meeting. It's just that she never called me during work hours. I dialed her number, but then it was unreachable. Well, she's probably asleep or reading the books I bought her, and I even forgot to charge her phone. You finally love having a mate," Vincent said once he noticed his glued-on eyes were on the phone. "Yeah, that's the best feeling, man." I said. I really meant what I said. Vincent is the only one who actually knows me too well. He is the most trusted person around me, and the fact that we were still friends was thanks to him. I, on a norma
~Charlotte ~The sound of someone snoring beside me woke me up. My head was pounding heavily, and I felt disoriented. I try to remember where I was. The room was dimly lit. My two hands were tied with a robe as I lay on a bed that was surprising comfortable. "Where the hell is this place?" I looked around. I finally came to my senses and remembered everything that had happened. The slap, my struggles, the rude men with masks And the fact that my phone had been smashed.They finally succeeded in getting me kidnapped.I wriggled my hands, testing the tightness of the knots. It was so freaking tight that I couldn't loosen it myself. however, knowing fully well that it was all on me to decide if I wanted to live or be killed here. As I scanned the room, I noticed a small window high up on one wall, covered by metal bars. It seemed like my only way out. With my hands still bound, I carefully sat up, trying not to make any noise. The person snoring beside me was still deep in sleep. I rec
I lifted my head from where I was lying in the cold prison and glanced at the prison guard, who just threw a plate of food at me. "Acting aloof? I heard you eat quite a lot."He lifted his foot and crushed the rice he served me. I know very well that he has been paid by my stepmother to do this to me. They said I poisoned my father, and I ended up being thrown into this pit of hell. I smirked at the dirty food on the floor. Outside the cell, I could hear the sound of television. "Mr. Ethan Shein has returned to the country today. Right now, he has arrived at the cabin stone pack.""Cabin Stone is the largest pack in South America. Mr. Ethan took over the pack ten years ago, and today's strength and growth can't be compared to any."My heart froze in an instant. I rushed at the cell door, trying my best to check it off and see if I could see his face on the television. "What are you doing, little runt? Isn't it obvious that you won't even deserve to wash that man's feet?"I lowere
