Chapter 1
My mate was drugged and trapped, tearing at the Lycan Princess’s clothes.
This time, I didn’t rush in to stop him, not like I did in my past life.
Back then, I was terrified he’d provoke the wrath of the Lycan Prince Marvin, known for his merciless nature.
I tried to intervene, but Gregory, poisoned and out of control, forced himself on me.
My reputation was ruined, and I became the laughingstock of the pack.
After we mated, my life was a nightmare.
Five years of marriage, seven pregnancies, and each time, I lost the child.
People whispered that I was promiscuous, that my body had been tainted by countless men before mating.
My parents, desperate to make my life bearable, used their influence to help Gregory climb the ranks, eventually making him a Gamma.
But on the day I went into labor, he and the Lycan Princess Nancy forced me to drink five doses of a potent healer’s concoction, leaving me weak and bleeding.
“If you hadn’t meddled back then, Nancy and I would have been mated by now. This is your punishment for ruining our bond!”
Then, right in front of me, he smothered the child I had just given birth to.
I died with tears of blood streaming down my face, my eyes wide with rage.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the moment he was drugged.
This time, I would make sure they got exactly what they wanted.
==============================
“Gregory, please… don’t…”
The Lycan Princess Nancy’s voice trembled with a mix of shame and arousal, her scent sharp and intoxicating, like a snake’s hiss slithering into my ears.
Inside the Moonlit Hall,
Gregory’s eyes were bloodshot, his clothes disheveled as he pressed Nancy against the wall.
Her designer dress, adorned with intricate patterns, was already torn.
“Luna!”
Miracle, my attendant, was frantic, tugging at my sleeve.
“We have to stop him!”
I watched the two figures tangled together,
then glanced at Miracle, who looked like she wished she could take Nancy’s place.
I couldn’t help but laugh.
Save who?
The woman who forced me to drink concoction after concoction to kill my unborn children?
Or the man who smothered my baby with his own hands?
“Gregory comes from a humble background. If he assaults the Lycan Princess tonight, the Lycan Prince Marvin will destroy him!”
“Luna! What are you waiting for?”
“Don’t you remember your father said Gregory’s late father was a friend of our family? He told you to look after Gregory!”
“If something happens to him, your father will be furious!”
Miracle’s voice was low but rapid, her words tumbling out in a rush.
She’d always had her eyes on Gregory,
hoping I would mate him so she could become his chosen mate.
In my past life, when I dragged myself, bleeding and broken, trying to crawl for help,
it was Miracle who pinned me down and dragged me back.
She stomped on my stomach, where blood was pooling,
and sneered, “After all these years, I’ve followed Gregory’s orders and fed you so many concoctions. How are you still able to conceive? You’re so disgusting!”
I clenched my fists,
fighting the urge to claw her right then and there.
“I’ll go in and try to stop him. You go to the front hall and bring my mother with some guards. Make sure no one else notices.”
Miracle’s eyes lit up with barely concealed excitement.
She nodded eagerly and sprinted off,
her steps so quick you’d think she was rushing to deliver news of a death in the family.
Just like in my past life.
This incident could have been kept quiet,
but Miracle brought all the pack’s elite to witness the scene.
All the high-ranking Lunas and their daughters
saw me half-naked, pinned down by Gregory.
My mother fainted on the spot.
My father, who had spent his life building a spotless reputation, was humiliated,
unable to hold his head up among his peers.
My sisters were all forced into low-status matings because of the scandal.
Since Miracle was so eager to help,
let her bring the entire pack to witness this spectacle.
And give my former mate the perfect opportunity to climb the social ladder.
