1: Rebirth
Kiara
“Please spare our child at least!” I cried out desperately as pain flowed through every inch of my body. My mate laughed in my face before pulling the knife out from my arm and stabbing me right in the shoulder this time and a blood scream left my lungs.
Gods. It hurts so much.
My mate was now a monster, and what he was doing to me was beyond painful, but not as painful as the sight of my sister strangling my little child that I just birthed minutes ago.
“Shut up, you stupid cunt!” Gregg growled as he backhanded me hard, then he cruelly pushed his fingers into one of the bleeding gnashes in my arm and I screamed till my voice cracked while I sobbed hard.
I knew I was gonna die soon. After losing so much blood from the forced childbirth, Gregg was determined to end me right in the bed I labored for days in. And my poor baby wasn’t being spared.
Apparently, I had cheated on him, so he was gonna kill me and my child.
The child belonged to him. My daughter looked just like him, and I’ve never bedded another man but him, but he refused to listen to me as he grabbed my baby and handed it to my younger sister who grinned darkly at me as she began to strangle my newborn.
All of this was happening because I was too stupid and too trusting. A few months ago, I caught my mate and younger sister in bed together. I had been enraged and had instantly demanded an explanation, but instead of getting one, I was slapped, then I was being told that my Nina, my younger sister, was consoling my mate by offering him her body because she helped him discover that I’ve been cheating on him this whole time.
He refused to listen to my words since that moment and had me locked. At seven months of my pregnancy, he had the pack doctor force me into labor. After my daughter came out, he took one look at her and declared that the child wasn’t his, which meant I had indeed been cheating, then the whole torture started.
Nina and Gregg had been secretly together for years, and my parents had been aware of it. When I asked why Gregg married me if he didn’t love me, he claimed it was because of my pure blood. I was from a regular family, but somehow, my blood was pure and as powerful as dragons’ blood.
“I’m killing you cause I have no use for you anymore. You’ve helped me rise to the very top, I am now the alpha of alphas. You’re now useless to me and I never loved you before anyway.” He had revealed to me, three days ago after coming to visit me in my cell.
When I got together with Gregg five years ago, he wasn’t even a pack alpha. He was just a regular alpha. But I had helped him with my pure blood, and slowly, he leveled up till he reached the top. Now that he doesn't need me anymore, he wants to discard me. The power of my blood was useless without an alpha to wield it. As someone that had no wolf, I couldn’t even activate the powers of my blood myself, so I couldn’t fight him. I couldn’t do anything to protect myself and my child.
I had pleaded for him to spare my child at least, but he kept claiming I had cheated and the child wasn’t his so he wouldn’t be doing that.
As Gregg continued to stab me, I couldn’t do anything. I could only silently apologize to my baby for bringing her into such a cruel world. When my child stopped crying, I knew she was gone, and the pain that consumed me was unlike anything I’ve experienced before. At that very moment, Gregg stabbed me hard in the chest and I gasped as pain spread through my body, while I began to choke on blood.
His grinning face was the last thing I saw before my eyes fluttered closed.
As my breathing slowed down, I desperately begged for one chance.
A second chance.
A chance to rewrite my story and make everyone who betrayed me pay for their crimes.
A chance to avenge my little baby.

When I jolted awake, I abruptly sat up while my heart pounded hard. I quickly touched my body, the knife gnashes were gone, and I was not in that hospital room anymore. I rolled out of bed and picked up my iPad, then a sharp jolt went through me as the date stared back at me.
20th-06-22.
My eyes instantly widened in realization.
I went back in time, to the exact day my mate and I officially began to try for a baby, two years after we got mated.
I went back to three years ago.
Here, I wasn’t pregnant yet. I also still believed everyone around me wanted the best for me and genuinely cared about me, not knowing how wrong I’ve been.
I got up, walked into the bathroom and washed my face. As I stared at my reflection in the mirror, determination settled deep within me.
This is my second chance. The one I desperately begged the moon goddess for, and this time, I was gonna do things differently. I won’t make the same mistakes twice. I’ll avenge my daughter that was brutally killed.
I’m gonna bring everyone that wronged me to their knees.
I swear it.
When I stepped out of the bathroom, strong arms wrapped around me as I got pulled into a kiss. I stiffened, feeling bile rise into my throat. Gregg was kissing me. The old me once thought this man genuinely loved me like I loved him.
How stupid I’ve been.
I want to shove him away and demand he never touch me again. He now repulses me.
But I knew I had to be rational this time. I needed to have a plan, I couldn’t just outrightly accuse him of all what he did to my past self, that would make me sound mad.
“Let’s go back to bed, love.” He murmured against my throat and I had to resist the urge to kick his groin. He was referring to the same bed he has f****d my younger sister in countless times! Presently, he was already cheating on me with her, which made me feel angrier at myself to have never noticed anything this whole time. I had always thought they were acting goofy and has even found it cute whenever they got handsy in my presence.
Stupid, stupid. Stupid. You’re so stupid, Kiara.

After Gregg finally left the house, I heaved from relief because it was really draining to act in love with someone that literally stabbed me to death in my past life, when all I want to do is to spit in his face.
The first thing I did was to order some cameras, set it to recording, then hid them around the house. For me to be able to pull anything off, I’d need physical proof.
In two days, a party to celebrate my mate and I being together for two years, is gonna take place, and that’s where I plan to expose my mate.
I was gonna ruin him this time,
After I was done with that, I showered and got dressed, then I set out to our pack’s alpha king’s palace. I was visiting him because I had a feeling Gregg wouldn't willingly reject me even after I expose him at the party— not because he loves me, but because of my pure blood.
Which is why I need the alpha king in attendance, because pack alpha kings have the ultimate power to sever bonds between fated or chosen mates.
He is definitely the only one who can get me out of this situation.
