I struggle to stay afloat as I'm submerged in the seawater. All I can see is the light on the water's surface getting further away from me. "Save me, Kane… Save our child…" I shield my stomach as intense pain spreads from it to the rest of my body. Through the rippling water, I see Kane Porter standing on the shore, his figure tall and stately. His voice rings out, but it's filled with hatred and disgust. "Don't think I don't know that you drugged me with a philter just because you wanted to make me mark you and allow you to become my Luna. Your selfishness ended my relationship with Arya and made her become schizophrenic. "You're so evil that you even showed her your pregnancy test report on purpose. She was so devastated that she fell off a cliff! "Do you know every day has been torment since her death? I'm going to make you experience the pain she was in before she died. I want you and your child to die with her!" I want to explain myself, but the seawater has already claimed me and dragged me into an abyss. "You're not getting my love even in your next lifetime, let alone this one. Hatred is all I feel for you." My consciousness fades. All I hear is the crashing of the waves and Kane's icy curse. When I open my eyes again, I'm taken back to the day Kane's philter takes effect. He approaches me, his face flushed and his breathing rapid. He's already undone his buttons. "Hang on, Kane. Arya will be here soon!" I back away and open the door behind me. Then, I run off.
View MoreSoldiers searched the nearby waters, and by the time they recovered Arya's body, she was barely recognizable.Cesare and I arrived at the shore but stopped at a distance. Kane was kneeling on the sand, staring blankly at the ocean.I thought maybe he was grieving.I had lived this life again, made different choices, all so Kane could have the future he wanted with Arya. But in the end, he still lost her and their child.Kane must have sensed my presence because he spoke without turning around, his voice almost a murmur as he said, "After Arya got pregnant, I found out she had been secretly drugging me. She was afraid another woman might carry my child."The drug destroyed my seed. By the time I found out, I was no longer able to father a child. She wanted to make sure her child would be my only heir."I didn't know what to say. I had once drugged Kane myself, and I knew I had been wrong to do so. But what Arya had done had gone even further.Then again, considering how he had tr
At dawn, Cesare's guards carried my suitcase as we left Kane's castle.Cesare was already waiting for me at the gates of Greystone. The moment I saw him, I ran into his arms, and his black cloak wrapped around me.Mounting his horse, we rode swiftly toward the border. As we neared the border, the sound of galloping hooves echoed behind us."Scarlett!" Kane rode up with a squad of soldiers, jumping off his horse the moment they reached us. His expression was tense. "You can't leave!"Cesare scoffed, stepping in front of me. "Kane, Scarlett has already made her choice. She's coming home with me. You have no right to stop her.""Cesare, this is a matter between me and Thorn Pack. It has nothing to do with you. Just because you're the Alpha of Windhowl Pack doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.""Whether I can or not, that's not up to you."Behind Cesare, several cannons stationed along the Thorn Pack's border swiftly adjusted their aim, locking onto Kane and his men.Our pack
The banquet hall fell into silence, and the crystal chandelier illuminated Kane's face, turning it ghostly pale.An Alpha from one of the packs spoke up first, "Well, today, aside from Kane and Arya's engagement, there's another pair of newly engaged couples.""Congratulations to Scarlett and Cesare!""Two couples getting engaged at once—that's a good omen for all the packs in the Alliance. Let's toast to that!"With a cheer, everyone raised their champagne glasses, congratulating Kane and Arya and Cesare and me. The crowd around us began to disperse, and the banquet atmosphere returned to its joyful state.As the host, Kane continued to entertain the guests. Arya, on his arm, wandered around the hall, clearly acting as if she were already the Luna.This scene must have been Kane's dream in a past life.But I noticed that Kane's gaze occasionally flickered toward Cesare and me, his eyes filled with confusion. When Cesare gently picked me up to leave the banquet hall early, Kane
The warm black cloak was draped over me, covering me completely. The man wrapped the cloak around me gently, holding me close as he led me out of the fountain.The moment I touched his chest, I immediately realized something—he felt so familiar, like I had seen him somewhere before.It was the man I had slept with that night!Kane's cold voice cut through the air, "Cesare, Alpha of Windhowl Pack, what brings you here?"What? Wasn't he Kane's guard?I stared up at the man holding me. His face was sharp and emotionless as he looked at Kane.Everything suddenly clicked in my mind. The "guard" I had slept with that night—the one who marked me—was none other than Cesare, the man James had mentioned setting me up with for a blind date."I heard my fiancée was being bullied here. I wanted to see who dared to pick on her," Cesare said, his voice steady.Windhowl Pack held the highest status in the entire Alliance Pack. Kane hadn't expected to find such a strong connection between Cesar
My new room was the most secluded one in Kane's castle—small, dark, and damp. Moss covered the walls, and the air smelled musty.Arya followed me to the door."Your old room was where the Lunas of past generations stayed. Kane said since we're about to bond, I should stay there before the wedding ceremony," she said, her tone dripping with smugness.I ignored her and silently started picking up the things that had been thrown on the floor. "Now I understand. You drugged him last night, then sent me to his room, hoping that out of gratitude, he would make you his Luna. But too bad. Kane saw through everything."All those times you followed him around, begging for his love, and he never acknowledged you. Now, that's even more impossible."I came to tell you…"Tonight, there's a banquet. Kane invited all the Alphas from Alliance Pack to attend. It's going to be grand. He plans to announce our engagement."He wants you, as his sister, to present the engagement ring to us at the ba
I replied nonchalantly, "Me? I just went for a walk on the city wall yesterday.""Scarlett, what did you do last night? Who did this to your neck?" Kane's eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed my arm, pressing me relentlessly for an answer.It took me a moment to realize he was talking about the marks and love bites on my neck.I quickly readjusted my scarf and replied coldly, "Why should I tell you? What does it have to do with you?"Perhaps it was because I was unusually calm, or maybe because it was the first time I showed any sarcasm toward him, but Kane stood frozen in place.Without waiting for his response, I walked past him.He quickly stepped in front of me, sneering. "Don't think I don't know. You drugged me last night. What? Couldn't get me into bed, so you went off to sleep with another man?"You deliberately invited Arya over and disappeared for the night. You thought I would worry about you? Your little tricks didn't work."I didn't understand why Kane was so angry. D
The next morning, I reached for my clothes, only to find them torn to shreds.The guard was gone. On the nightstand, he had left a note saying he had business to attend to and would come back for me.I ran my fingers over the mark on my neck as I looked in the mirror. He was probably lying. After all, I had slept with him. More than likely, he was off at a tavern bragging to a pack of rowdy werewolves about how he got lucky with a girl who threw herself at him.The love bites covering my body were beyond disgraceful. I wrapped my scarf tightly around my neck, making sure everything was concealed before heading down to breakfast.As the sister of an allied Alpha, I was an honored guest in Graystone and had the privilege of dining at the same table as Kane.Just as the maid placed some celery on my plate, Kane entered the dining hall with Arya by his side."From today onward, Arya will be joining us for meals," he announced.I turned to see Arya clinging to his arm. She was wear
Kane Porter and I had both taken the potent philter. I had bought it from a black-market vendor outside Graystone. He had told me, "Just a single drop is enough to drive a male werewolf insane. It'll make the man you love mark you!"So I bought it, paying a hefty price.In my past life, I had used it to force Kane, the man I had secretly loved for eight years, to mark me.And what was the outcome?He had marked me. I had become his Luna. But I had also become the woman he hated the most.For Arya Sowle, he had pushed me—pregnant with his child—into the ocean, leaving me and our unborn baby to drown.It had all been my fault. If I hadn't drugged him, hadn't forced him to mark me, and hadn't become his Luna, I wouldn't have met such a tragic end.Now, reborn in this moment, I refused to make the same mistake. This time, I would bring him and his beloved Arya together.Draped in a white fur cloak, Arya followed me to Kane's bedroom door, her gaze sharp with suspicion."Scarlett
