I fall in love with my father's friend, an Alpha 20 years my senior. I'm only eight when I first meet him. It happens at a banquet for the upper echelons of the werewolf pack. My father brings me with him. Layson Romanov instantly catches my eye. He stands tall at six feet and two inches, and his toned figure shows through his black suit. He exudes a natural dominance. My father introduces me to him, and he caresses my hair with a smile. Then, he gives me a pink dress adorned with pearls and pink diamonds. "You'll look beautiful when you're old enough to wear this." Back then, I didn't understand what he meant. … Ten years later, I put on that dress and enter his room. He's drugged after falling into someone's trap, and his wolf is out of control. His usually calm eyes are filled with mania. I know that he'll go insane—even lose his life—if he doesn't have an antidote. So, I give him my pure, untainted body. I become his antidote. We later marry, and he loves me as my father would've done. However, when I'm four months pregnant, I discover that his personal secretary, Grace Parker, is also pregnant. "I'm sorry to have put you through this, Grace. Everyone knows I only married Charlotte out of duty. I'll make sure our child is my only heir," he says. It all makes sense now—no wonder Layson refused to mark me despite us being married. Grace is the one he loves. I'm heartbroken. I ingest a large amount of wolfsbane, leading to a miscarriage. I ultimately die of blood loss. Intense regret washes over me as I breathe my last breath. When I open my eyes again, I find that I've been reborn. I'm taken back to the day Layson is drugged…

Charlotte's POV"Come here." Layson Romanov's voice was low and firm, leaving no room for refusal.In the yacht's luxury suite, the air felt stiflingly hot. Layson's loosened collar looked messy. He had left a few buttons of his shirt undone, revealing his firm chest. His usually deep and calm green eyes now burned with scorching desire.In my previous life, he had tempted me in this same way.Right now, I simply stood by and watched this man who was normally so noble and untouchable.I once believed I could become his greatest love. I paid no heed to the fact that he was my father's friend or that he was 20 years older than me, or even the mockery from my family. I flung myself into becoming his so-called "antidote".I loved him with all my heart, yet all I got in return was a tragic end—I died along with my unborn baby. Even love became a luxury I could no longer afford.Right before I died, I found out that Layson had secretly been in love with his personal secretary, Grace P...

Charlotte's POVI hung up on my father and wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes. I didn't want to show any sign of weakness.I disembarked from the yacht early and took a car back to the castle by myself. I packed my papers and wanted to head out right away to arrange my entry documents for Silvermoon City."Charlotte, who told you to come back alone? What if you had run into a pack of rogue werewolves? Do you have any idea how long I searched for you? You're getting more disobedient by the day!"Layson pushed open the door and confronted me. His tall figure towered over me, and the string of love bites on his neck stood out so glaringly.He still carried Grace's scent on him, which drifted into my nostrils.Even though I already knew they had been intimate, I still couldn't stop the sorrow from welling up inside me. I avoided meeting his gaze. I pretended not to react, but he knew me too well. Besides, my eyes were a little red.He instinctively helped me fasten the

Charlotte's POVOver the next few days, I went through all the formalities to leave the pack and head for Silvermoon City.I left early and came back late every day just to avoid running into Layson. No matter how hard I tried, I still witnessed his clear fondness for Grace.She loved swimming, so he had all the cherry blossom trees we planted together removed to build a private pool for her. When Grace felt unwell, he canceled an important meeting and stayed with her throughout the night. If she casually mentioned liking a piece of jewelry, it would appear on her dressing table the very next day.All the gentleness, care, and appreciation he once showed me, he now devoted to Grace without holding back.I no longer clung to him or threw tantrums the way I used to. I quietly watched it all, like an outsider.While waiting for the paperwork to go through, I began packing my belongings.First, I organized my luggage. Then, I gathered the sketches I had drawn of Layson, the love let

Charlotte's POVAfter that day, I never spoke to Layson again. I had nothing left to say, but he probably thought I was just playing hard to get.Things remained tense between us all the way to the Full Moon Celebration hosted by the Black Forest pack.I still remembered the Full Moon Celebration when I was 18 years old, the night I awakened my wolf for the very first time. Layson had been standing right beside me. When violent power surged through my blood, pushing my sanity to its breaking point, he used his Alpha power to keep me firmly under control.Layson became my guide. From that time on, he taught me how to control my wolf, how to find the balance between hunting and restraint, and how to become a true warrior. He taught me everything except how to make him love me.I used to believe that we were a perfect match.Before I turned 18, he doted on me and indulged me. After I turned 18, he made me endure his wolfish desires under him every night. I thought that was the intim

Charlotte's POVI didn't take Layson's words to heart that day.I simply waited quietly for my documents to be approved so I could leave.The next day, Grace behaved very differently. She enthusiastically insisted on taking me to the werewolf pack's marketplace.However, the moment we boarded the carriage, I caught a whiff of something strange. A wave of dizziness rushed through me, and then everything went black.When I opened my eyes again, icy winds whipped around me, and waves crashed against the jagged rocks nearby. My wrists were chained to a wooden stake. Not far away, Grace was also chained up. I struggled to ask her why, but my mouth was gagged, and all I could produce were muffled whimpers.Grace seemed to understand my question and smirked coldly."Charlotte, I don't want to do this to you. But you've always been a threat. I heard what Layson said that day, and it unsettled me. I need to prove who matters more to him."I never imagined Grace would go to such extremes

Charlotte's POVI thought I was dead. But when I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a bed I knew well.Rain was falling outside the window, a fire crackled in the hearth, and the air was filled with Layson's distinctive herbal scent. He was sitting next to the bed, his clothes rumpled and his chin covered in stubble. His bloodshot eyes made it clear he had been keeping watch over me for days.When he saw that I was awake, relief flickered across his face."Charlotte, you're finally awake! Do you have any idea how worried I was?"I only looked at him in silence. After a long pause, I said quietly, "Your Majesty, you don't have to stay with me. Go be with Grace. She needs you more than I do.""Are you still upset with me?" he asked.I gave a slight smile and said, "I can take care of myself."He was a bit stunned, looking as though he couldn't quite understand. His expression was complicated as he stared at me."I'll arrange for the maids to be here around the clock. If you ne

Charlotte's POVThe moment my fingers touched my cheek, tears started rolling down.In my last life, even if I caused big trouble, Layson would just pat my head and pretend to scold me. But now, he had actually slapped me.My werewolf blood gave me faster regenerative powers than most humans, but it didn't ease the pain on my face. This wasn't just physical pain—it felt like a blade striking at my soul.That night, when I went back to my room, I got word that my documents were ready. I called my father. "Dad, could you book me a train ticket for tomorrow night? I want to leave as soon as possible.""It's already arranged. Once you arrive, I'll pick you up."After I hung up, I packed all my luggage. Then, I took the last photo I had of Layson and me, the one I kept inside a locket, and burned it. The flame licked across the photo, warping our once-happy faces until they turned to ash. My heart felt like it was turning to dust right along with it.When morning came, Grace caught m

Charlotte's POVA week later, I saw on social media that Layson and Grace's wedding had gone ahead right on schedule. The entire werewolf pack was swept up in the grandeur of the event. The ceremony wasn't simplified just because Grace was pregnant. On the contrary, it was even more lavish than any Alpha wedding I'd ever heard of.This grand wedding, celebrating ten years of love, was even broadcast live across the entire internet.The venue was filled with the red roses Grace loved, all of them gathered by Layson and his troops from the thorny forests in the North. Those roses symbolized the Alpha's promise to his mate—he would push through thorns to bring her the brightest blooms.On the pack's biggest social media platform, the flood of admiration for their bond was endless, and their wedding post shot straight to the top of the trending list."Layson and Grace are the perfect match.""I heard Layson nearly died once while saving Grace.""Ever since the former Alpha's fiancée

Layson's POVI was sitting in Charlotte's room, staring at the empty space around me. I never expected to find her room completely cleared out. I also never thought she'd have the nerve to block me.For all these years, no matter how much she sulked, how much she cried, or how often she got mad at me, she had never truly cut me off. Now, she not only blocked me, but she even turned off her phone. It was like she was trying to vanish from my life for good.I clenched my teeth, my fingers trembling."Fine, Charlotte. Are you playing hard to get and trying to make me chase after you? That won't work on me," I said out loud.I took a deep breath to force myself to stay calm and called my personal guard. "Find out where Charlotte ran off to! Once you do, keep an eye on her and make sure she's safe."No matter how impulsive or infuriating she was, she was still the daughter of my best friend. I couldn't just leave her on her own.But I knew she couldn't have gone too far. She loved me

Layson's POV"My dear Majesty, why are you still awake?"Grace's voice made me realize she'd been standing there for a while. My expression changed as I pulled off the shawl draped over my shoulders and walked over to her."Why aren't you sleeping? Are you cold?"I placed the shawl over her shoulders and held her hands in mine to warm them.She smiled a little, but her eyes were filled with worry. "I can't sleep when you're not there. I got up to check on you."She lowered her voice and hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "I overheard you and Ron mentioning Charlotte. She really left? Is it because of me?"Her voice got softer and softer, and by the last line, she was practically whispering. Her head drooped, and her eyes were red from tears, looking guilty.I felt a twinge of pity. I gently pulled her into my arms and kissed the top of her head. "Don't worry about it. It has nothing to do with you."She tugged on my shirt, looking uneasy. "But she was entrusted to y
