When I thought I couldn't feel any more pain, I was mistaken; the malicious Lana slit my little sister's throat without mercy, pouring the last drop into the overflowing cup of my despair. From that moment, life lost all meaning for me as my family perished at the hands of the one I loved and trusted most. My kingdom and my people vanished, leaving me bereft, with no will to go on and an acceptance of my cruel fate and end.
"The only regret I have amid all this is that I never got to deflower your virginal body and show you how perfect I am. But don't say I'm cruel—after I end your life, Monica, I'll take your virginity. Even though you'll be dead, your body will still be warm, allowing me the honor you deserve."
Hearing the repulsive words spewing from Richard's mouth filled me with horrendous disgust and fueled my hatred towards him, but I decided to spare myself the wasted breath on someone like him whose twisted mind only hears what it wants and what suits him.
I closed my eyes, anticipating my end as Richard began chanting the spell to absorb my power and render me lifeless, but what I didn't expect happened—the fatal blow never came. Opening my eyes upon hearing Richard curse, the reason for my reprieve sickened me more than any death for there, in front of me, lay my fated mate dying, having taken the blow meant for me.
"Why did you do it?" I asked, tears in my eyes and an indescribable, intense pain in my chest, for my other half was dying. Even though we had rejected each other, the pain affirmed that our bond still affected me.
"Because I love you. Even though you never accepted me as your mate, I did from the moment I saw you. So live on, my Luna, and make that wretch pay for all the pain he's inflicted upon you."
With those final words, my destined one closed his eyes, and I knew he had passed away, shattering what was left of my already fractured heart. Thus, I resolved to kiss my fated partner goodbye and cast a spell to create the strongest shield, protecting myself while I attempt to mend the devastation my blindness has allowed a despicable being to wreak.
"What have you done, you damned fool? Don't you realize that pathetic shield won't protect you from me?" Richard taunted, taking perverse joy in the death of my mate but oblivious to the fate that awaited him.
Ignoring Richard's insults, Monica focused on crafting a new spell, one unheard of and unrevealed, for she was weaving it into existence to amend the ruination she had caused by the poor choices made since allowing Richard into her life.
Wishing with all her heart for a second chance to right the wrongs that Richard and Lana had wrought, the gods, witnessing her immense suffering and desire to correct the unleashed supernatural chaos, heeded her pleas. A blinding light emanated from Monica's body, blinding Richard and Lana, who cursed in ignorance of Monica's plan but understanding that with her power's magnitude, nothing good awaited them if she succeeded.
Minutes passed, time rewound, and Monica found herself back at the beginning of the story that was supposed to unfold with her fated partner.
She materialized in the room assigned to her upon her arrival to the Alpha Supreme's pack—her destined mate; it was exactly three months prior.
"Oh, wonderful, so this is how I ended up here. Thank you, gods, for this second chance. I promise to do my utmost to change the grim future awaiting my people, my family, my fated mate, and me. Ah, but blast it, how do I approach my mate after declaring my love for that unspeakable one was true?"
Pacing the room, Monica considered how to engage her mate without arousing suspicion, for if she approached him too hastily after being so rude and rejecting their bond, it would seem exceedingly odd.
"This is harder than killing a donkey by pinching; I don't even know what my destined mate likes, and I can't just stick to him like bees to honey without appearing mad. Plus, I have no experience in wooing a man, as it was that idiot who approached me."
Resigning herself to the bed, Monica was clueless about strengthening the bond with her fated mate to keep Richard out of her life. She also needed a solid plan to rid herself of the two without evidence and without being ostracized by her own people—something she dearly wished to avoid.
"This is giving me a headache, and the worst part is, I haven't even found a solution for what torments me."
"Am I so detestable to you, my Luna?"
Engrossed in her thoughts, Monica hadn't noticed when her mate entered the room. Startled by his proximity, she tumbled to the floor from the shock.
