Ellie had a perfect life, her family was of the highest rank, a perfect lineage, an example to be followed by the whole pack. But in a single day everything collapses in front of her, Ellie was betrayed and abandoned, unfairly judged and executed by her own family. The gods have given her a second chance, a chance to be reincarnated before everything goes to hell. A last chance to survive.

The Last Chance Chapter 1 The beginning of everything.

It was a normal morning like any other, I got up, did my hygiene and went to my morning studies, my mother had hired several etiquette teachers for me, but none could be as strict and cruel as the current one, so the last thing I wanted to do was to be late for my class. I went downstairs and, in the hallways, met up with my sister, Emily didn't seem to be having a good day, so I just said hello and headed for the dining room, breakfast had already been served and I was starving.

"Ellie, eat slowly, this way you look like an animal." -My mother said with stiffness in her voice.

"I'm sorry, I was a little hungry."

I went back to eating as slowly as I could as soon as I was done, I went to my classroom my class would start in less than ten minutes.

The rest of the afternoon went as normal, I had a little free time so I decided to take a walk around the huge property, I took a book with me, I wanted to find a quiet place to read in the garden.

Leo, my childhood friend found me, he came over to greet me in the loudest way he could. He ran up to me, even with his tall build, he still insisted on acting like a child, his black hair gave an air of seriousness to that extremely gentle boy.

"Ellie, what are you doing here!?"

"Well , I live here. I'm the one who should ask you what you're doing here."

"My father came to talk to your father."

"Do you know why?"

"The subject seemed boring, so I thought it was business."

"I think you should attend the meetings, after all being an only child you should be preparing to inherit the family business. "

"I don't want to get into that just yet, if my father starts talking business, he'll want to bring up marriage. He always takes the subject to my mate, that's very annoying."

"The weight of being an alpha is very sad."

"I don't know how you can handle all that. Your whole family is alpha, of the highest rank and your name is big, it won't be long before your parents want to marry you off too. "

"I think arranged marriages are a thing of the past, not to mention I need to worry about that for now, since they still have my sister to worry about."

"Lucky you."

"Go figure, it's not so bad to get married. With luck you might even find your mate before then."

"I'm convinced I don't have one, in the end I'll end up doing what my parents want."

Leo looked very sad when he said these words, after all he had always been a boy, more of a boy than a grown man, at the end of the day he also seemed to be a romantic. His father was always very close to the family, we grew up together since I was five years old.

Leo stood up and left me alone, he said he needed to find his father before he abandoned him right there, I laughed at his words, whenever I watched him too much, I had meaningless thoughts. I always thought that I saw Leo as a pity friend, nothing more than that, but as he grew the happy pink little boy became a really handsome man, his body changed, he became stronger, "An alpha always attractive" as my father liked to say, this made me start to feel strange around him, a kind of discomfort with shame that I preferred to avoid.

I spent the rest of the afternoon in the garden, the shade of a tree was all I needed for a little peace, as the afternoon was drawing to a close, I returned inside the house for dinner time, everyone was at the table when I arrived, I sat down and dinner began to be served.

Before I could think of starting to eat, my father wanted to make an announcement.

"Before we begin our dinner, I wanted to announce that I had a conversation with Adam, my longtime friend and partner. We came to the conclusion that a marriage between our family would be a good thing for both of us, that being said, we have decided that Emily will marry Leo in the spring."

A dead silence settled on the table, none of us could say anything about it, Emily just stared at my father with a distant look, she didn't seem angry or sad, just indifferent. My father looked at me, I thought he would say something but he just continued with his speech.

"Our family will become stronger just like Adam's, the lineage of pure alphas will be maintained and everyone will be happy. I'm sure Ellie can assure you that Leo is a good boy."

So that's what he was thinking as he stared at me.

"Leo has always been a good friend to me, I am sure he will make my sister happy."

A shallow reply, with a forced smile that I never thought I would use in this house. This whole situation was uncomfortable for me, after the conversation I had with Léo in the garden, I was becoming more and more convinced that he wouldn't want it to end like this.

I stood in the darkest corner of the Pierre Hotel’s ballroom, my cheap polyester dress itching against my skin while my wristband buzzed with a DARPA Priority Red alert. In front of the city’s elite, my fiancé Bryce Calloway took the stage, not to toast our future, but to publicly end our engagement and announce he was with my sister, Chloe. The room turned on me instantly, a hundred pairs of eyes pinning me down with pity and disgust as they physically backed away like I was contagious. When I returned home, my mother shattered a crystal vase at my feet, screaming that I was a humiliation and a "dropout" who didn't deserve a cent of the family fortune. Chloe and Bryce mocked me, laughing when I told them I had a mission with the National Security Agency, convinced I was either a pathological liar or a low-level criminal. They watched in horror as a black, unmarked military helicopter descended on our backyard to extract me, yet they still chose to believe I was being arrested for drug trafficking. They saw a pathetic girl who couldn't even parallel park, never realizing I was Dr. Nova Vance, the lead physicist behind the world's first successful fusion reactor. To secure funding for my research and gain a "fortress" of a name, I signed a thirty-day marriage contract with the arrogant billionaire Roman Knight. He treats me like a fraud, convinced I’m a gold-digger who failed out of college, while I quietly run global energy simulations from his guest bedroom. He has no idea that the "loser" he’s forced to live with is the same anonymous grandmaster who has been ruthlessly crushing him in online strategy games for months. "The contract is active," I told him, looking past his expensive suit. "But don't expect me to be your maid."

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.
