ROSEANNE

I went straight into the bedroom, leaving Damian alone after our argument. I couldn’t stand looking at his face any longer, and I knew I would only get angrier if he dared to mention that woman from his past again.

I sat on the edge of the bed, my gaze empty as I stared through the large window that overlooked Damian’s backyard. The morning sun shone softly, but its warmth failed to reach my heart. I had to admit this house was grand, but it felt cold and empty.

Just like its owner.

I let out a long sigh, frustration heavy in my breath.

“I have to live in this house. It’s no different from the Moonveil estate—both cold. But this place is even quieter than I expected,” I muttered to myself.

I inhaled deeply once more, trying to calm the storm of anger brewing inside me. Damian... that bastard. It was only our first day as husband and wife, yet I had already been through so many emotions and unpleasant moments.

I clenched my fists, closing my eyes as I struggled to steady my br

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   18. A Relationship Already Broken

    ROSEANNEI stepped into Grandpa Andreas's room after hearing his voice telling me to come in. It felt like ages since I'd been here—I hadn't visited him ever since our last argument.The room was exactly the same—cold, filled with the scent of aged wood, and layered with memories from when I first entered this house until I grew up. Grandpa sat in one of the chairs by the large window, enjoying a cup of tea while gazing out at the Moonveil estate’s backyard.There was an empty glass on the table, which I assumed was meant for me. I had informed him I was coming, and I was sure he had prepared it for me."Sit down, Anne," Grandpa Andreas said in a calm voice.I still remember how cold his voice had been the last time we spoke before my wedding. But now, he was composed again, just like his usual self—as if nothing had ever happened.He often called me ‘Anne,’ but if he ever addressed me as ‘Roseanne,’ it meant he was serious, and his decision could not be argued with.I scoffed inwardl

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   19. Roseanne’s Curiosity

    ROSEANNE“Beta Kiren.”When I called his name, the tall man with dark brown hair immediately turned to me. His sharp eyes radiated their usual wariness, but his gaze softened when he saw me.“Miss Anne—ah, or should I call you Luna Roseanne now?” he greeted me with his familiar deep voice, laced with a bit of teasing.I clicked my tongue in annoyance. I hated that new title of mine. “Don’t call me that, Kiren. I want you to keep addressing me the same way you always have.”I saw Kiren bow slightly, a small smile on his lips. “Alright, Miss Anne.”“Can we talk for a bit? There’s something I need to tell you,” I asked him directly.Kiren nodded at once and told his fellow beta to cover for him since he was currently guarding the back gate of the Moonveil estate. Another beta quickly took his place so he could speak with me.Right after finishing my conversation with Grandpa Andreas, I came here to find Kiren because I had important matters I needed to discuss with him. The betas informe

    ROSEANNEOnce I was done with my business at the Moonveil house, I immediately returned to the Fenrison residence. But I didn’t bring Kiren with me that day because I needed to talk to Damian first. I asked Kiren to wait, and he could come once I informed him to move to the Fenrison house.I had just opened the front door when that deep voice greeted me from the living room."Where have you been, Roseanne?" Damian’s voice was flat but sharp. I could feel his anger in it. "Why didn’t you inform me before leaving?"I stopped but didn’t turn to face him. From the corner of my eye, I could see Damian sitting on the living room sofa, staring at me intensely."I was at my grandfather’s house," I decided to answer honestly.Damian let out a sigh, but he didn’t press me further like before. "Next time, let me know if you want to leave. One of the betas can escort you so you don’t have to drive yourself.""I don’t need to inform you whenever I go out. Besides, I’ll be going out more often from

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   21. Damian’s Inner Voice

    DAMIANRoseanne is different from Lyra.I've been thinking about that ever since I first met Roseanne after she woke up from her coma and after spending more time with her.I shouldn’t compare the two—especially since Lyra is no longer in this world. But that thought creeps into my head on its own, beyond my control. There are moments when I suddenly wonder:‘If Lyra had argued with me last night, would she have made the same decision as Roseanne?’‘If Lyra were in Roseanne’s position, would she also be angry with me and think that this is unfair?’In truth, it’s one of the ways I try to understand Roseanne’s thoughts—by comparing her to the only woman I have ever loved. I used to think all women had similar ways of thinking, but even now… I still can’t figure out what’s really inside Roseanne’s head.She’s too difficult to understand, too strong-willed to be controlled.No omega has ever dared to defy me before. Yet, Roseanne always has her own answers, and in the end, she manages to

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   22. Jealousy From Alpha Damian

    DAMIANFive minutes later, I entered my office and found Beta Kiren sitting on one of the sofas. He immediately stood up and bowed his head politely in greeting.I smirked slightly. So, this man did have manners, even though I wasn’t from the Moonveil Pack."Sit down," I said in a low, firm voice. I also took a seat across from him.Kiren.He was Roseanne’s personal beta, a name I had often heard. Someone who, it seemed, Roseanne trusted the most in this world—to the point that she chose Kiren to guard her instead of a beta from my own pack. I had never really met Kiren before, only glimpsed him from afar. Still, just from the way Roseanne said his name last night, for some reason, I felt that Kiren wasn’t just a bodyguard to her.I let out a quiet scoff, disliking that thought.Damn. I sounded like a jealous Alpha now.I clenched my jaw. No, I wasn’t jealous. This was just a routine precaution. I just wanted to ensure that the man before me had no hidden agenda other than protecting

    ROSEANNEIn the following days, I finally went to one of Moonveil's companies to resume working. It wasn't the main company, just one of the other subsidiaries owned by Grandpa Andreas, entrusted to me for management.With Kiren guarding me, I stepped through the main entrance of the Moonveil corporate building, chin lifted high. The morning air was refreshingly cool, but the atmosphere inside the company wasn’t nearly as cold as the stares I received from several employees.Some of them started whispering the moment they saw me, and let’s not forget—I’m a werewolf, so I could hear every single word they said with ease."Does she still deserve to be here, leading the company?""After being in a coma for that long, is she even competent enough to be our superior?""How could she decide to marry the Alpha of our rival company?""I think Roseanne is quite the hypocrite. She married the Alpha of Fenrison, yet instead of managing his business, she came back here to work."I held my breath,

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   24. The Heat Cycle Appears

    ROSEANNEThese past few days, I’ve been incredibly busy with work. There were so many things I had to take care of that I spent more time at the company than at home.I also barely saw Damian because he seemed just as busy as I was. Sometimes, we would meet during breakfast or dinner, but not every day since I was often too exhausted to eat and chose to rest first instead of him.But that was for the best because I didn’t want to build a deeper connection with Damian.I didn’t want to get trapped in this marriage and become dependent on being close to him. As much as possible, I would avoid scenting or physical mating unless necessary. Even though I knew it would hurt my body, I would endure it as best as I could.If my bond with Damian weren’t strong, it would be easier for me to break free from him.“Huh, I need to stop thinking about that annoying man,” I sighed heavily.I decided to refocus on my work, sitting up straight in my office chair, staring tiredly at the computer screen

    DAMIANI rarely see Roseanne since she started working.Honestly, I’m not home much either, as I have to manage both my company and my pack. My responsibilities with Fenrison Group and as the Alpha of Aeternum Pack consume most of my time. Not to mention my efforts to extract information from Tion, which have yielded no results so far—no matter what I do, the man stubbornly refuses to talk.There’s been a lot on my plate lately, keeping my mind occupied.However, Fenrison Group is no longer in danger because Andreas Moonveil kept his promise. He injected a significant amount of funds into my company, covering the losses I had previously suffered. But in return, I had to accept him as the second-largest shareholder in Fenrison Group.It’s a risky move, considering Andreas is my business rival. But I had no other choice. I’ve also made several contingency plans in case something happens in the future.And amidst all this chaos, I realized something.I started missing Roseanne.Or rather

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   71. The One Who Knew Lyra Best

    ROSEANNE“Damian, I won’t ask about Lyra anymore,” I said softly as I hugged him.I felt Damian’s arms wrap around me, holding me tightly in return. Then, a small chuckle escaped him. “Why? If you still have questions about Lyra, I can still answer them, Anne.”Even though Damian spoke gently and seemed fine with this conversation, I didn’t want to continue talking about Lyra for now.I never expected Lyra’s story to be so heartbreaking, especially hearing it directly from Damian. He had no hesitation in telling me everything.Maybe Damian seemed fine now, but I was sure that deep down, he must feel a little sad whenever we talked about Lyra. Whether he wanted to or not, Damian had to recall his past with her, and those memories must bring back old wounds and the longing he still felt for her.Losing someone in such a tragic way leaves a scar on the heart. No matter how many years pass, the memories remain, etched forever.That’s why, in the end, I shook my head. This conversation abo

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   70. The Strange Circumstances of the Accident

    ROSEANNEI had already heard the story about Lyra from Damian’s perspective. Unlike what I had expected, Damian’s story and Tion’s were quite different. I felt a bit confused because it seemed like Tion knew Lyra better than Damian did, even though Lyra was once Damian’s Luna.At this point, there were only two possibilities: either Tion was telling the truth or deliberately trying to mislead me with false information.But if Tion was correct, then Damian didn’t know much about Lyra despite having lived with her as his mate. However, why did Tion know so much about her?‘Was it because they came from the same orphanage, so Tion was close to Lyra?’ I started forming different possibilities in my head, trying to piece together the puzzle I couldn’t solve yet. ‘But Tion seemed to care about her a lot, and I could even feel his sadness when he talked about Lyra’s passing.’I shifted my gaze to look at Damian. My Alpha was also looking at me gently. There was a hint of longing in his eyes

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   69. Luna Lyra, From Damian's Perspective

    DAMIANSo far, there was nothing suspicious about Roseanne.I trusted that woman and felt everything she said was the truth. I had no reason to doubt her words. Besides, Roseanne's reason was quite reasonable.Before my bond with Roseanne grew more substantial, I would have been furious if I had known she was looking into Lyra, even just a little. I didn’t think Roseanne needed to dig into my past that deeply, especially since Lyra was no longer in this world.However, now that our bond was much stronger than it should have been, and I had already placed my trust in Roseanne, I no longer minded if she wanted to know more about Lyra. In fact, I could tell her everything she wanted to know without worrying about anything.The last time I mentioned Tion, Roseanne’s expression changed slightly. She looked somewhat surprised when I said I might kill Tion. But I wasn’t joking. I had planned to kill Tion several times, but I hadn’t done it yet because I still needed him."Damian, I want to k

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   68. Roseanne’s Dilemma

    ROSEANNE“Roseanne, I’m not angry if you want to find out about my former Luna. I think it’s only natural that you’d want to know who Lyra really was. But I also wouldn’t mind if you just asked me directly instead of looking into it in secret. Wouldn’t it be better if you heard it straight from me?”I was surprised by how calmly Damian responded to this. I had assumed the worst, thinking he might get angry if I tried to dig into Lyra’s past.Not everyone likes having their past unearthed—especially since I clearly remembered how sensitive Damian used to be whenever Lyra’s name came up in our arguments before our relationship got this close.But he seemed completely at ease now, and I didn’t see a trace of anger in his expression.Realizing that the atmosphere was much better than I had anticipated, I stepped closer and chose to sit beside him. “Would you really tell me everything if I asked?” I asked Damian.It didn’t take him long to nod. “Of course. I don’t think there’s anything ab

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   67. Information About the Former Luna

    ROSEANNEI let Damian take me away from the underground cell because I had no other excuse if he kept asking about my reason for coming here. I knew I wouldn’t be able to lie to him anymore, and at the same time, I wasn’t ready to tell Damian the truth yet.I glanced at Damian’s arm around my shoulders. Even as we left the underground, he said nothing to Blair. I could see the worried expression on Blair’s face—I should talk to Damian to make sure he doesn’t get angry at Blair for letting me in alone.Damian shouldn't be mad at the wrong person because this was my own decision. If anyone deserved his anger, it was me."Luna Roseanne, I’m still here. If you’re certain that Lyra is truly your twin sister and you need more information about your past together, I can give it to you. But in exchange, you have to get me out of this prison. I suggest you decide quickly because Alpha Damian might kill me by tomorrow."Those were the last words Tion whispered to me before Damian arrived earlie

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   66. The Traitor of The Pack

    DAMIANMy men have yet to find the person responsible for Sam’s murder. As soon as his death was confirmed, I immediately met with Tobias and Kiren to discuss the matter. At the same time, several other parties began searching for traces of the person who was most likely responsible for Sam Moonveil’s death.Roseanne insisted that the man could not have taken his own life, and I believed that Sam Moonveil was not the type to kill himself. He had too many grudges, and there was no way he would give up so easily without settling them first.I had already ordered my men to conduct a thorough investigation—reviewing every CCTV recording in Fenrison’s residence, tracking any possible evidence left in the underground chamber, and identifying anyone who had visited the place recently.Tobias had checked everything, but no leads had surfaced.There was always the possibility that Sam Moonveil had indeed committed suicide, but I wasn’t ready to accept that yet. I would keep searching until I h

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   65. A New Mystery

    ROSEANNEI stared at Tion without blinking. His words still lingered in the air, refusing to be processed in my mind. I received three pieces of information at once in everything he said—each incredibly difficult to believe.Tion claimed that Lyra was my twin sister, that she had been at the scene of the incident and suffered the same accident as I did, and most importantly, that Lyra had died because she saved me.Does any of this make sense?I didn't even know Lyra, so how could this man claim we were twins? I couldn't just accept this nonsense so easily."Your joke isn't funny at all, Tion," my voice was barely audible.Tion sighed, and I could see the sadness and frustration on his face. "Lyra really was your twin sister, Luna Roseanne."He repeated it, truly trying to convince me—or perhaps brainwash me.But my heart was pounding so hard that I could hear its beats in my ears. My mind went blank, and my chest felt unbearably tight as if I had been struck by something massive. It

    ROSEANNE"You really know me?" I stared at Tion, torn between belief and doubt.A part of me still questioned what he said, but on the other hand, he looked so convincing—I couldn’t detect even the slightest hesitation in his words.The hatred in Tion’s gaze felt undeniably real. He wouldn’t be this serious if he were only trying to intimidate me. That’s why I had to find out and ask him directly."I know you very well, Luna Roseanne," Tion spoke again. "Even more than you can imagine.""Don’t be ridiculous, Tion. I always know the people around me, so there’s no way you claim to know me when I have no idea who you are. I don’t think we’ve ever met."Tion let out a low chuckle, but to my ears, it sounded eerie. "We don’t need to know each other to be aware of one another, Luna.""Then tell me, how do you know me? And why do you keep staring at me so sharply, filled with hatred? What problem do you have with me that makes you despise me this much?" Without wasting time, I fired my ques

    ROSEANNEThis wasn’t the right time to be curious about anything else, let alone dig deeper into who Lyra was.And yet, I couldn't ignore the pounding of my heart or the strange feeling that consumed me as I read through those files. It was as if there was an inexplicable connection between me and the woman from Damian’s past.Not to mention the fact that earlier, the man named Tion had stared at me so intensely, as if he harboured a deep grudge against me—even though I had no recollection of ever knowing him.Didn’t all of this seem incredibly strange?I couldn’t just brush it off."I have to talk to Tion," I finally decided. It was the only way to get answers to my questions.I didn’t expect Tion to know anything about my accident. Still, perhaps he had other information—something about Lyra or why we looked so similar as children.Clutching Lyra’s file tightly in my hand, I carried it with me as I left my room and headed toward the underground dungeon, the same place I had left not
