Learning of Sarah's betrayal, Garrett was devastated, finally understanding the pain I had endured. His once-proud posture was gone, replaced by slumped shoulders and a hollow gaze.

The mighty Alpha who had abandoned us now stood broken on my doorstep.

"Ember, I was a monster before," he said, his voice breaking with each word. "I always thought you were more capable than her, more resilient. That you could survive anywhere."

His hands trembled as he reached toward me, stopping short of actually touching me. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have abandoned you and our cubs. Ember, please give me one more chance."

Garrett looked genuinely remorseful, tears welling in his eyes and threatening to spill over. I could smell the salt of them mingling with his distress scent. "A home needs a man. Children need their father," he added desperately, as if reciting a truth that could save him.

If he had said these words two years earlier, I would have wept with joy, fallen into his arms without hesitat

    Sarah had moved in with that Beta, she explained, but they hadn't formed a mate bond. He had kept her as a sort of trophy, showing off the former Luna of the Silver Claw Pack to elevate his own status.After six months of this arrangement, the Beta's mate suddenly appeared, enraged and full of righteous fury. She had been away on a diplomatic mission to the Southern Territories, unaware her mate had installed another female in their home.Only then did people discover that the Beta had two previous mates and four cubs, all of whom he had abandoned much as Garrett had done to us.The former mate was fierce—one swipe of her claws made Sarah spit blood across the pristine floor of the Beta's home. She beat Sarah until she lost her hearing, damaging her left ear beyond repair."No one intervened?" I asked, shocked despite myself. Sarah had been many things—manipulative, greedy, dishonest—but such violence seemed extreme.Vivian shrugged, sipping her tea. "The pack saw it as justice. She ha

    In my previous life, my mate Garrett inherited both the Alpha position and his sister-in-law Sarah after his brother died in the war against the Rogue wolves. He took her to Moonhaven Sanctuary—the most secure settlement in the entire Northern Territory—while leaving me behind in the abandoned, low-ranking wastelands of our pack.My two pups died cold and hungry, torn apart and devoured by Rogue wolves. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day my pups were brutally killed.After reborn, the first thing I did was guard my children relentlessly. After successfully evading the Rogue wolves' attack, I traded the engagement ring Garrett had given me to passing merchants, who then escorted us to Moonhaven Sanctuary.The entire Northern Territory was under constant threat from Rogue wolves, so all Packs formed an alliance and established Moonhaven Sanctuary, guarded by the most elite warriors from every pack. Only Alphas, Betas, and their recognized mates were permitted to dw

    This scene, I had already witnessed in my previous life.Twelve years ago, his brother Ryan, the former Alpha, had his heart pierced by a silver arrow during the Blood Valley battle against the Rogue wolves.On his deathbed, he entrusted his mate Sarah and their two children to Garrett.After losing our Alpha, our Silver Claw Pack endured the most difficult time in our history.From that day forward, our two families lived together in the abandoned low-ranking den.At first, when Garrett returned from his monthly hunts, he would divide the money and fresh game equally between us.Though life was tight, our two families coexisted harmoniously.I always respected that Ryan had died for the pack, and whenever I hunted food myself, I would share much of it with Sarah and her children.Until five years ago, when Garrett received recognition from the pack council and officially succeeded as Alpha of the Silver Claw Pack, allowing him to move his family into Moonhaven Sanctuary.At the time,

    After Garrett and I broke our bond, Sarah came to collect him with her children.Their wolves nestled intimately together, with Garrett carrying Sarah's son and daughter on his shoulders, his tail affectionately entwined around Sarah's waist.A family of four, extraordinarily cozy.It was only then that I learned what Garrett meant by "no betrayal"—he simply hadn't physically marked Sarah.Every wolf around him recognized only Sarah as the Luna of the Silver Claw Pack.Alliance-distributed resources were managed by Sarah.Sarah managed everything.Even his personal armor was groomed by her hands.After learning this, I could no longer bear the agony of our broken bond, and I jumped into the icy river.I was about to say something when Sarah's gentle voice called out, "You two, stop being so affectionate and come eat."The meal consisted of ordinary camp food.Wild boar ribs and frost deer meat—such simple food, yet my cubs' eyes gleamed at the sight.They devoured it ravenously, too hu

    The basin in Sarah's hands fell to the ground with a tremendous crash.She quickly picked it up and hurried away.Garrett watched her retreating figure with obvious concern, then turned back to me. "Not going back? Ember, stop being childish. We agreed that—""Garrett, the Rogue wolves are invading and looting resources. There's no food or game left in the wastelands. We've eaten all the wild grass in our den," I said bluntly. "I can't provide for our cubs anymore. Are you asking your cubs and mate to die by sending us back?"Garrett frowned. "Can't provide? I send you so much money and supplies every month. How could you not manage?"His words left me dumbfounded. "When have you ever sent me supplies?""I send you money and supplies every month."As he finished speaking, Garrett seemed to realize something.He strode into the bathroom and called Sarah into his study.Soon after, I heard Sarah's sobbing voice from within.When Sarah emerged, her eyes were red.Garrett looked embarrasse

    Ethan turned to look at me, his wolf eyes filled with tears. "Mother, I didn't hit him. He fell and scraped himself.""I'll take Cain to the healer," Sarah said.She rose, carrying her child toward the door.Garrett instinctively moved to follow her. "I'll go with you."But Sarah avoided his touch, her tone cold. "You should deal with your family matters first."After Sarah left, the disappointment on Garrett's face was impossible to hide.He approached his son and shifted his hand to a wolf paw, slapping Ethan across the face. "Ethan, who told you to bully Cain? He's your brother."Ethan covered his face, his voice distorted into a hiss. "I didn't."Ethan explained that Cain thought he was dirty and wouldn't let him sleep on the bed, so he had to sleep on the floor.Then Cain forgot about this and stepped on Ethan when getting up to use the bathroom, causing him to trip and scrape his face.Garrett didn't believe him and raised his paw again. "You dare to lie."I quickly stood in fron

    With my outburst and shouting, both Sarah and Garrett stood frozen in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief.Everyone around us fell silent, all eyes turning in our direction. The medical center's harsh lights seemed to intensify, spotlighting our family drama for all to witness.Many recognized Garrett, whispering among themselves, their words sharp and clear to our werewolf hearing:"Isn't that the Alpha and his mate? Who's that other woman with those starving cubs?""She just called herself his mate... but aren't the Alpha and that Omega already partners? Look at those poor children!""Those cubs look like they haven't eaten in weeks. How could our Alpha allow this?"The whispered words reached Garrett's ears, draining the color from his face. His jaw clenched as he grabbed my arm, trying to pull me away from the growing crowd.I stubbornly planted my feet, refusing to budge. My wolf stirred inside me, lending strength to my human form.Garrett's fingers dug into my arm as he whispe

    With those words spoken, the entire room fell silent. The only sounds were the shallow breathing of my starving cubs and the steady beep of medical equipment in the background.Everyone held a deep reverence for heroes in werewolf society. The pack mentality was ingrained in our very DNA—sacrifice for the greater good was the highest calling. The tone in the room suddenly shifted like a wind changing direction before a storm.Garrett transformed from a villain into a man of honor and loyalty in the eyes of many onlookers. Their expressions softened, eyebrows relaxing from their angry furrows.A man willing to let his own children suffer to raise his brother's orphans—what nobility they saw in that! What sacrifice!Such a selfless and noble spirit, they thought. I could read it in their faces, in the way their hostile stances relaxed, in how some even nodded with newfound respect.Sarah's eyes reddened on cue, tears welling up perfectly.

    Eventually, Garrett did break our mate bond. The severing ritual was performed under the watchful eyes of Elder Magnus and three other council members. The physical pain was excruciating—like having my soul torn in half—but the emotional relief was immediate. A weight I hadn't realized I was carrying lifted from my shoulders as the supernatural connection between us dissolved.Even though everyone urged him to send Sarah away, assuring him the alliance would support her, he couldn't bear to part with her. His eyes had been fixed on her throughout the ritual, his concern for her reaction more evident than any pain he felt at losing me.After regaining my freedom, I felt completely disillusioned. The idealistic young she-wolf who had worshipped her Alpha mate was gone, replaced by a hardened survivor who trusted no one but herself.I submitted a detailed report of Garrett and Sarah's chaotic private life to the alliance council, documenting every lie, every resource diverted from my ch

    "For all these years, I've always put you first. When you told us not to come find you, I stayed away, even as my heart broke with loneliness. When you didn't send money or supplies, I cut my own flesh to feed our cubs rather than bother the great Alpha with our trivial needs."My hand unconsciously moved to cover the worst of my self-inflicted wounds as I continued, "I don't want to live like this anymore. I'd rather raise my cubs alone in the wasteland than have a mate whose heart and eyes are filled with someone else while our children starve.""That's not true." Garrett lunged forward and grabbed my hand with enough force to bruise. His claws extended slightly in agitation, pricking my skin. "It's not like that. There's been a misunderstanding. Let's talk about this privately, away from prying ears."I could hear the desperation in his voice—not for me, but for his reputation. His eyes darted around, assessing how many witnesses were present, how far this story might spread."Ther

    Garrett struggled to form words, his voice trailing off. What could he possibly say that would justify this? What excuse could erase years of neglect?The hospital fell silent as a figure in elder's robes appeared at the entrance. The crowd parted immediately, heads bowing in respect.Someone called out: "Elder Magnus!"I looked up to see a tall, imposing werewolf approaching from across the room. His silver fur gleamed under the harsh medical center lights, and his eyes—sharp and clear despite his advanced age—missed nothing as he surveyed the scene.Garrett's body stiffened for several seconds before he rushed over to salute him, abandoning Sarah's side for the first time since we'd arrived. "Elder Magnus."The deference in his voice told me everything I needed to know about this newcomer's standing in the pack hierarchy.The man's gaze swept the scene methodically, taking in my wounded arm, my malnourished cubs, Sarah's fine clothes, and the divided crowd. "What's happening here?" H
