Prologue

PROLOGUEListening to the music in the background spikes up my excitement as I try on my ball gown. My nerves are all over the place and I'm almost jumping out of my skin. I'm trying to control myself but it's impossible."Try to stay still, miss. I can't zip up your dress if you keep shaking like that." Said the stylist who is helping me get ready. She's old enough to be my mother and also a bit cranky. But I have to admit, I haven't exactly been making her work easy either."I'm sorry, Miss Delvin. I'm just too excited." I apologize, and take a deep breath, trying to control my giddiness. She zips me up and leads me to the full-length mirror. Just a glance at myself and I'm left in awe. How the hell do I look like a diva?"Do you like your new look?" She asks, spreading out the tail of my dress. "I love it." I gasp in happy tears. It's everything I wished it would be. The hair. The dress. The makeup. The pieces of jewelry. Everything is on fleek. My oval-shaped face has been accen

Reuncarnated

EMILYThe crazy, repeated pounding on the door snatches me from my deep slumber and forces me to wake up.I groan, feeling displeased by the noise. Stuffing my face into the pillow, I try to tune out the noise. But it continues, ridding me of every ounce of sleep in my eyes."Emily! Open the door!"Mother? Hearing her voice feels strange and I quickly sit up. The moment feels weird and for a second, I shut my eyes, trying to control the rapid beating of my heart.My head is heavy as I recall what had just happened to me. Or was it a dream?I quickly yank off the duvet from my body, checking for blood but there's none. Was that a dream? But it hadn't felt like one. It felt so real.I was getting ready for my 18th birthday and the mating ball. Lily and Dorian had betrayed me and poisoned me. I had died from the pain. Was all that a dream?"Emily!"I hurry down from the bed, heading to the door but I catch a glimpse of myself in the full-length mirror. Freezing at the spot, I'm stunned

The offer

EMILYOn the day of my seventeenth birthday, Alpha Gavin visited us and said the same words. The Alpha of Red Creed Pack has been searching for his mate for three years and now, he's growing impatient.It has something to do with securing his position as an Alpha by getting a Luna and an heir. His desperation led him to make an offer to Alpha Gavin, pleading to marry his daughter, and in exchange, he would provide our Pack with infinite access to his wealth.I recall turning down the offer because I was madly in love with my boyfriend, Dorian. I wanted to wait for my 18th birthday when we would officially become mates, so I turned down the offer from Alpha Roman.I didn't want to throw away the love I nurtured with Dorian. But now I know, that there's no such love between us. Yeah, I loved him more than is considered normal. But he didn't even feel a bit of likeness for me. Regardless of everything I gave up for him. Rejecting Alpha Rowan for a sneak like Dorian has to be the stupi

Hurt

EMILY"Babe, what's wrong?" He asks, grabbing my waist and forcing me to get closer to him. My fisted hands collide with his chest as I try to avoid his gaze. An intense rage of anger is building up inside me as I recall how he had left me to die. The raw hate in his eyes at that moment is being clouded right now with fake, charming smiles. Smiles that always made my heart flutter and made me swoon over him shamelessly. Well, not anymore. Because now, I know him for who he truly is and I'll never be deceived by his fake smiles again. No matter how real he tries to make them look. "Babe, tell me. What's the problem?" He asks in a husky voice, as he kisses my neck. "You're not upset that I came in through the balcony door, right?"I ignore him, struggling slightly to release myself from his hold. I hate how close I am to him and the stench of his cologne.I can't believe I used to find it sweet and savory to inhale. Right now, it smells funky and I just wanna be away from him. "Don'

Alpha Roman

Emily"No, Emily, I also like this look on you. You mature to-"Alpha Gavin was cut before he continued to compliment how good I looked today.My heart pounds as I stare up at the same man who bumped into me. I can still feel his hands grip my shoulders firmly, steadying me after I lost my balance. Like he doesn't want to let me go.Our eyes lock and something powerful courses between us, sending a shiver down my spine. "Oh, Roman, there you are! Come, let me properly introduce you." He smiled, grabbing him by his shoulder.So, it's him. The Alpha of Red Creed Pack that I'm now betrothed to—Roman. Roman takes a few steps forward. I smooth out my dress and straighten in my place, Alpha Gavin was still beaming. This is it. Time to put on the performance of a lifetime. "Roman, meet Emily James, my Beta's daughter," Alpha Gavin announces proudly. Roman takes my hand in his, bringing it to his mouth and grazing his lips softly over my knuckles. The intimate gesture sends a shiver throug

The rules

EmilyAn awkward tension settles between Roman and me after my failed attempt at seduction. I bite my lip, unsure what to say next.Inside, I'm frustrated he resisted my advances so easily. I thought I was being pretty bold for me, yet he didn't even blink. Looks like it'll take more than some light flirting to get this Alpha's attention.Roman clears his throat, glancing away almost shyly. "So...have you given more thought to accepting my offer?"I blink in surprise at the sudden topic change. "Oh. Um, I'm still not certain yet. But I am considering it."He studies me intently and I try not to squirm under his piercing gaze. "What reservations do you have? Perhaps I can ease your worries."What can I tell him? That I'm afraid if I marry him, I'll be trapped in a cold, loveless union at the mercy of his iron will? And yet it's also my best chance to get revenge on Dorian and Lily?Yeah, probably shouldn't mention any of that.I scramble for a safer excuse. "Well, I had hoped to find m

Her rejection

DorianI pace back and forth in agitation as I await Emily's arrival. Today is the day she's set to leave for her mating ceremony with that damn Alpha Roman.I still can't believe she refused my proposal and chose to marry a complete stranger instead. What lies has Roman fed her to turn her against me so fully? To make her throw away our love as if it never mattered?None of it makes sense. Emily loves me, I'm sure of it. We're destined to be together. Or should I say she fell for my lies. I just have to make her see the reason before it's too late.When Emily finally enters the room, she hates seeing me there. Her mouth presses into a thin line."What are you doing here, Dorian?" she asks tightly. "I told you we're through."I step closer, taking her hands in mine. "Emily, please. I'm begging you, don't do this."She tries to pull away but I hold on desperately. "Don't marry him. I know you still love me. We belong together.""No, we don't." Emily's voice is cold and her eyes hard. "

Today I leave behind my old life for a new future as Luna of Red Creed Pack.More importantly, today marks the first step toward achieving my long-awaited revenge. By this time tomorrow, I'll be far from the grasp of Dorian and Lily. Too far for them to continue hounding my steps.A knock sounds at the door before my mother enters, her smile tinged with melancholy. "Good morning, my darling. Are you all ready for your departure?"My throat tightens with emotion as I go to embrace her. "I think so," I say, breathing in her comforting, familiar scent.
