Chapter 3

RANDELLE’S POV

Since it was my birthday, I was dressed in a long silver and backless dress. There was a small smile on my face but behind that smile, there was anger, hatred, and the thought of revenge I got from my past life. 

Almost everyone in the Pack was present for my birthday. Of course, they were present to witness my union with the Alpha, Rico. A union they awaited so much but deep down in my mind, I knew I was going to give them a wild surprise.

“Happy birthday, my darling.” My father wished me as I got to the foot of the stairs. He took hold of my right hand and then introduced me to the Pack as his beloved daughter. Yes, I was his beloved daughter but I was someone else beloved as well.

My eyes met Jeremy’s who was with the guests. He smiled at me and I blushed without a care in the world. After he declared that I was his mate, we kissed and it was my most passionate kiss ever. The kiss carried the love we shared, the one we weren’t given a chance at in our past lives.

I wished I could tell him about our ordeals in our past life but then, I needed to keep that to myself. I was going to love him dearly in this life. I made sure not to mention that we were related in any way and I hope he wouldn’t.

He was all I wanted to see but unfortunately, Rico appeared before me and took my hand without even asking me.

His presence caused me to frown in disgust and I could see Eva trailing behind him. They must have had a go at their bodies earlier and they were here smiling at me with innocent expressions. In this life, just like I had decided to love Jeremy, I would trample on Rico and Eva until their doom.

I was quite grateful that I wasn't pregnant for Rico in this life, else I would have to go through the pain of losing a baby again. I didn't even want to carry his child at all. 

“Randelle…” Rico called out to me with a smile but before he could say anything else, I took out my hand from his grip.

With determination in my eyes, I looked at my father and said, “I reject this union, Father. I do not want to be mated or betrothed to Rico. He is not the one I want.” As soon as I said those words, the Pack members gasped in shock, wondering which female in the Pack would refuse to be mated to Rico.

But then I was different! A revered pureblood and I would never bow down before evil when I could overcome that evil. The Pack members continued to rant and point fingers at me for what I had said.

But above all, Rico felt utterly humiliated. Of course, he could get whatever female he wanted in the Pack, so he wouldn’t understand why I rejected a union with him.

At the same time, my father tried to question me but I refuted him. Jeremy smiled at me widely, proud that I was his and no one else’s.

“Are you out of your mind, Randelle?” Rico looked at me with angry eyes. 

“How dare you reject an invitation to make your life better by being with me?” I heard him say and I chuckled mockingly. He must be so full of himself to think that way.

“Who wants to be with you? Huh? You can go be with the dogs because I do not want you!” I said with a condescending look on my face while my words caused everyone to gasp in shock.

“How dare you?” Rico was overwhelmed by anger and he raised his hand at me. His attack came with speed and in the next second, my eyes turned red. I moved with speed and caught hold of his hand. My grip on him was tight and tightened it as the seconds passed by. Rico’s face twisted in pain and at the same time, murmurs arose in the hall.

“Get the fuck away from me!” I thundered as I pushed him away from me. His butt landed on the bare floor and I towered over him. With a victorious look, mixed with viciousness, I looked down at him, threatening him to stay away from me or else he would meet his doom.

However, this single act of mine caused the Pack members to look at me in shock. Fingers were pointed at me wondering what kind of act I just performed. How could a mere female werewolf like me overpower an Alpha?

It would be a shocker to them if they knew that I was way more than they ever imagined. I basked in their sudden attention on me and at the same time, I could see Jeremy looking at me with proud eyes.

Oh, I wanted to run into his arms and stay there forever but it wasn’t time for that yet. A day would come when we would be able to showcase our forbidden love to the Pack.

Rumors had spread beyond measure in the Pack of how I was a pureblood and how I had overcome Rico. No one believed that a pureblood like me still existed as only one could overpower an Alpha wolf like Rico.

At the same time, they all started to question Rico’s position as an Alpha wondering why he would get defeated that way. They would only get their answers when they are willing to believe that a pureblood existed. In the long run, everything was just a rumor to them.

I was seated with my father in his study while he questioned why I would reject Rico but I didn’t get to reply to his words when several guards barged into the study with hard looks on their faces.

Immediately, my father stood up at them but they pushed him aside and came at me directly.

I looked at them in horror wondering why they were there. I hadn’t committed any crime and I was sure my father was clean as well. 

“What is this insolent behavior you all are showcasing here?” I stood up at them with a terrifying look in my eyes. I had become so confident and I could stand up to ferocious-looking guards now. This was a great feat I overcame in my new life.

“Randelle Russell, you are under arrest for violating the power of the Alpha, impersonating a pureblood, and misleading the people.” A guard stepped forward and said those words but before I could react, they gagged me and immediately dragged me out.

This was the beginning of a great change in my life and I also knew that Ric

o was not aware of who I really was. Or was I wrong?
