Rebecca Morrison was about to be Luna, the rightful mate of Alpha Leon, but her dreams were shattered when betrayal struck. Poisoned and murdered by the very man she had helped build his pack, Rebecca is miraculously reborn in the past with a chance to rewrite her fate. Desperate to escape Leon's clutches, she seeks refuge in Lysander Castile, Leon's stepbrother, and together they plot a ruthless revenge. But as their alliance deepens, so do the feelings that simmer between them. With dark secrets, old wounds, and a battle for power, Rebecca must navigate the dangerous line between love and betrayal. Will she embrace her second chance, or will the ghosts of the past destroy her once more?

Chapter 1 Coercion

Rebecca's POV

"I will cut out your tongue if you reject me!" Leon roared in my face. I took a step back, heart hammering as I stared at him. Who was this monster? "You think you can just walk away from me, Rebecca?" He advanced, swallowing the space between us in a heartbeat. His hand clamped around my throat, the pressure stealing my breath. His gaze blazed as he looked me over, eyes seething with something I hadn't seen in him before. "You will be my wife today, even if it kills you." A chill ran through me. It already had, I thought to myself. I was supposed to be dead. I should have been dead, but somehow, I was here-back in the moment that sealed my fate. His fingers tightened, sending a wave of cold sweat across my skin. "No one else would want a hybrid bitch like you, so be grateful." "If I'm just a hybrid bitch," I managed, forcing my voice steady, "why marry me? I know it's Diane you really want." He froze. "Diane is your best friend," he said, as if I didn't already know. "And the woman you're sleeping with," I replied, my tone flat. His face twisted, and I saw his closed fist too late. Pain exploded across my jaw, sending me to the floor in a daze. Blood filled my mouth, dripping down onto my wedding dress. Stars danced before my eyes. "You're marrying me," he growled, voice low and furious. "Or I'll kill you-and trust me, no one would care what happens to an abomination like you." He would kill me, just like he did last time. But that was before-before I was reborn, given this second chance to rewrite the past. This time, I'd be the one to walk away. --- "It's been five years," I said, trying to keep the edge out of my voice. "I've served Silvercreek all those years, alongside you, as Luna. But I'm still not recognized as Luna." Elder Erwin scowled, the lines of his face deepening. "A half-witch hybrid should know her place." I looked to Leon, hoping-desperately-that he'd defend me. But he remained silent, his gaze cold. "Alpha Leon?" I pressed, my voice barely a whisper. He raised a brow, shrugging. "What do you want me to say?" His tone was sharp. "The elders are right. Instead of being greedy, maybe you should be grateful for all I've given you." I swallowed the hurt, forcing my face into a mask of calm. This was the man I had served beside, whose pack I had poured my own resources into strengthening and expanding. I knew then what I had to do. "I want out," I said quietly. "Alpha Leon, I want a divorce." Silence fell. Then he barked a laugh, as if I'd just told him some absurd joke. "What the hell are you talking about? A divorce?" I nodded, pulling out a manila envelope from my bag and sliding it across the table to him. "I've already signed. You just need to add your name." He blinked at the papers, shock flickering across his face before his expression hardened. "What kind of childish stunt is this?" he sneered. "You think you can throw around divorce papers to get what you want?" I held his gaze, keeping my voice even. "This isn't about pressuring you, Leon. I'm serious. I'm not that naive girl anymore, thinking I could win respect just by working hard. This marriage-" I paused, steadying myself, "-means nothing if I'm still just a tool to you." He stared, his face tightening. "You're my wife, Rebecca," he said coldly. "There's no divorce." "Not for long." My heart ached, but I didn't back down. "Sign the papers." A flicker of something-remorse?-crossed his face before it vanished. He nodded to the elders. "Leave us." "Alpha, she's bluffing," Elder Erwin insisted. "Leave," Leon repeated, voice hard. One by one, the elders filed out, casting me dark glances until it was just the two of us. Leon's piercing eyes pinned me to my seat. His silence was like a weight pressing down on me. Then he broke it, turning to a drawer and pulling out a heavy file, bound in leather. He tossed it onto the table in front of me. "You think I wouldn't make you Luna?" he sneered, pushing it toward me. "I was waiting for your birthday." I blinked, speechless. Seeing my hesitation, Leon scoffed. "Still don't believe me?" Before I could respond, the door opened. Diane entered, her expression twisting in mock disappointment. "Well, so much for the birthday surprise," she pouted, carrying a tray with champagne glasses. She set it down and wrapped me in a warm hug, whispering, "Congratulations." I returned her embrace, guilt knotting in my chest. I'd been ready to walk away, and they'd been planning a surprise. "You guys wanted to surprise me?" I asked, still stunned. Leon held his glass up to me, his eyes unexpectedly soft. "I wanted to make sure you'd proven yourself to the pack first," he said, as if explaining something tender. "Then, on your birthday, we'd announce you as Luna." Diane raised her glass. "I suggested making it extra special," she added, beaming. "You deserve it." I looked up at Leon, tears pricking my eyes. "Thank you. I'm sorry-I thought you were ashamed of me." "Never, darling," he murmured. Warmth spread through me as I looked between them, the two people I trusted most. I raised my glass, clinking it softly against Leon's. The champagne was cool and sweet, and I took a long sip, steadying myself. "Now, Rebecca," Leon said, handing me a pen. "Sign it. Take your rightful place by my side." My heart raced as I picked up the pen. This was the moment I'd waited for. But something felt... off. I glanced at Diane, who was watching with an odd, almost smug smile. Shrugging it off, I pressed the pen to paper. But before I could sign, dizziness washed over me. My vision blurred, the edges darkening, and I stumbled, clutching the table. Leon's hand steadied me, his grip firm. "Feeling alright, darling?" he asked, voice mocking. "I... I'm fine." I tried to breathe, but my throat felt tight. A cough racked my chest, and blood filled my mouth, spilling over my lips. Pain lanced through my stomach, and I doubled over with a groan. "Leon..." Panic rose in my chest as he stepped back, his lips curling in a cruel smile. He crossed the room to stand beside Diane, slipping an arm around her waist. "Charlotte..." I gasped, my words choked with blood. "Leon?" Neither of them moved to help me as I fell to my knees, blood staining the floor. The room spun as I tried to speak, but my voice wouldn't come. "Look, honey," Diane laughed, "it's nothing personal. It's just time for you to go. You've served your purpose." "You're delusional, Rebecca," Leon added coldly. "A hybrid could never be my Luna. You should have realized that long ago. But instead, you threatened me with divorce papers." He shook his head, laughing. "You deserved this. It was a long time coming." My world shattered. The warmth of betrayal spread like ice through my veins. This had been a trap. They were together. They'd planned this. I was just a pawn to them. I tried to speak, to beg for mercy, but my throat closed, the pain unbearable. I clutched at my chest, gasping as my vision darkened. My gaze lifted to see them, my husband and my best friend, locked in an embrace as I lay dying on the floor, their laughter echoing in my ears. I reached out a hand, the last spark of hope dimming as darkness closed in. "If only I had known," I thought as I felt myself slipping away, "I'll come back for them. This time, they won't win."

For seventeen years, I was the pride of the Carlisle family, the perfect daughter destined to inherit an empire. But that life ended the moment a DNA report slid across my father’s mahogany desk. The paper proved I was a stranger. Vanessa, the girl sobbing in the corner, was the real biological daughter they had been searching for. "You need to leave. Tonight. Before the press gets wind of this. Before the stock prices dip." My father’s voice was as cold as flint. My mother wouldn't even look at me, staring out the window at the gardens as if I were already a ghost. Just like that, I was erased. I left behind the Birkin bags and the diamonds, throwing my Centurion Card into a crystal bowl with a clatter that echoed like a gunshot. I walked out into the cold night and climbed into a rusted Ford Taurus driven by a man I had never met—my biological father. I went from a mansion to a fourth-floor walk-up in Queens that smelled of laundry detergent and struggle. My new siblings looked at me with a mix of fear and disgust, waiting for the "fallen princess" to break. They expected me to beg for my old life back, to crumble without the luxury I’d known since birth. But they didn't know the truth. I had spent years training in a shark tank, honing survival skills they couldn't imagine. While Richard Carlisle froze my trust funds to starve me out, my net worth was climbing by millions on an encrypted trading app. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves. They didn't realize they were just letting me off my leash. As the Carlisles prepared to debut Vanessa at the Manhattan Arts Gala, I was already making my move. "Get dressed. We're going to a party."

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
