On a full-moon night in my past life,my best friend and I found a badly injured wolf in the junkyard behind town. Chloe thought the wolf was filthy and refused to touch him. I couldn’t bear to leave him,so I carried him home. I spent all my savings to treat his wounds. Only later did I discover who he was. He was the Pureblood Alpha King,missing for years. Once he regained his senses,he put me on a pedestal. He gave me his claiming bite,blessing me with eternal youth,and made me queen of all the packs. We sealed our soul-bond before the Moon Goddess. Chloe chose an Alpha officer from the pack. He lost a power struggle and was cast out. She suffered with him in exile for half her life. She envied me for having everything. While the Alpha King was away,she killed me with a cup of poisoned wine. I was reborn. Before I could clock out of work,my best friend sprinted toward the junkyard. I knew. She remembered everything too. I clocked out,feeling only scorn. She didn’t know about the Pureblood King’s frenzy. He tore apart anything in sight. In my last life,I only survived because of my calming pheromones. Without them,he would have devoured me… Before she left,Chloe glanced back at me. Her delight and greed were impossible to miss. She looked terrified I’d beat her to it. That confirmed my suspicions. She was reborn,too. I didn’t follow her. I counted the stock on the shelves. My work uniform was folded and hung in my locker. Then I punched out. Memories of my death came back. Chloe tricked me into drinking the poisoned wine. The dizziness came quickly. She grabbed my hair and dragged me into the cold cellar. In the dark,she punched me in the nose. “Evelyn,I’ve always hated your stuck-up act!You smell like sewer water.Why should you have a better life?!” She kicked me in the stomach. I screamed as I felt my bones crack. “You found some mutt in a junkyard.And you’re the high and mighty queen?No way!All the luck,all the riches—they should have been mine!” The she-wolf lunged. Her teeth tore out my throat. That pain never left me. It was branded on my soul. Thinking of it made my body tremble. Hate tightened around my heart. Chloe thought stealing the Alpha King would give her my former glory. But she had no idea how terrifying a Pureblood Alpha’s rut was. Without a specific Omega’s calming pheromones,the Alpha King became a killing beast. Even I needed days to recover. Eventually,I couldn’t stand it. But the Alpha King locked me up and called it love. To outsiders,it looked like proof of his deep love for me. Chloe was an ordinary Beta. Getting close to him was a death wish. I pushed the thought away,pulled my coat tighter around me,and walked home through the snow. Four days later at dawn,the roar of engines shattered the town’s peace. A dozen armored vehicles rolled down the town’s main street. The doors flew open. Armed guards quickly fell into formation. A tall,stern-faced man stepped out of a vehicle. Holt.The Alpha King. Chloe,dressed in lavish furs,took his hand and stepped out. She held her chin high and looked over the crowd. Holt wrapped an arm around her waist and announced to the crowd, “From this day on,she is my fated mate.The future queen of the pack.” The crowd gasped. Chloe basked in their awe. Her eyes found me in the crowd. She walked over to me in her high heels. “Evelyn,we’re in two different worlds now.” She lowered her voice,her tone full of pride. “But the way you look at my mate makes me uncomfortable…” I looked at her and said nothing. Chloe gave a nasty smile. She raised her voice for everyone to hear. “You live in one of the pack’s high-end apartments,don’t you?As of today,Evelyn’s housing rights are revoked!Throw her out and dump her in the North District slums!” The North District slums had no heating. At night,the temperature dropped to twenty degrees below zero. The people around me fell silent. But no one dared to speak. Holt frowned but didn’t stop her. Two guards moved to restrain me. I didn’t resist. As I handed over my key,I said to Chloe, “Congratulations.You got what you wanted.” My words pleased her. She laughed. “Remember this.Next time you see me,you’d better be on your knees.” Holt stood by the car,checking his watch. “Sweetheart,it’s time to go.The pack elders are waiting.” Chloe’s face softened. She trotted over and threw herself into Holt’s arms. As the convoy sped off,snow spraying in its wake,the townspeople pointed and whispered. Pretending not to hear them,I dragged my suitcase toward the North District. The slums reeked of garbage and sewage. I pushed open the broken wooden door of my assigned room. There wasn’t even a bed inside. Just a pile of moldy hay. A cold wind howled through a hole in the window. I barely felt the cold. The fire inside me kept me warm. I closed my eyes. The corners of my mouth slowly curved into a smile. Chloe only smelled of cheap perfume. The moment Holt’s frenzy hit… She’ll learn what it means to wish she were dead.
I was stripped of my old post and sent to the servants’quarters at pack headquarters. It was the lowest kind of manual labor. My days were spent in a damp cellar,sorting thorny herbs. My fingertips were covered in bloody cuts. I didn’t even have the energy to complain. Every day,my coworkers talked about the same thing. The upcoming Moonlight Vow Ceremony. “Have you heard?The new queen really has her ways.She has the king mesmerized.” “Totally.I heard the king gave her the biggest ruby from the vault.” “She’s just lucky.It’s not for us to dream about.” The manager walked over. He kicked over the basket of herbs I had just stacked. “What are you dawdling for?The Queen herself asked for these calming herbs.If you’re late,it’s your head.” I bent down. I picked up the scattered herbs and put them back in the basket. Mocking laughter rose up all around me. I did the math. Holt’s rut was due within the next day or two. Chloe had been arrogant for so long. She was finally about to pay for it. The higher you climb,the harder you fall. She couldn’t seem to grasp that. But none of that had anything to do with me anymore. I lowered my head and kept working. That afternoon,the manager threw a heavy wooden box at me. “Take this to the queen’s suite on the top floor.And be quick about it!” I hoisted the box onto my shoulder and got into the service elevator. When the elevator opened on the top floor,the sharp smell of blood hit me. It was mixed with the low,restrained growl of a beast. I had just stepped out when I saw Holt stumbling out of Chloe’s room. His chest was bare,every muscle drawn tight,his eyes blazing red. Frantic Alpha pheromones filled the hallway. They were almost suffocating. He had gouged deep claw marks into the metal walls. Sparks flew. He was beyond reason. With a roar,he lunged for the isolation room at the end of the hall. I flattened myself against the wall and tried to mask my scent. The sound of Holt’s footsteps finally faded. Only then did I see her:Chloe,collapsed on the carpet. Her clothes were torn,her hair in disarray,and her body was covered in vicious bite marks. Blood stained the carpet red. She heard my footsteps and snapped her head up. The moment she saw me,fear turned to rage. “What are you doing here!Are you here to laugh at me?!” She scrambled up,screaming,and threw a vase at me. The vase shattered at my feet. A few guards heard the noise and rushed over. Chloe pointed at me and screamed. “It was her!There was something wrong with the herbs she delivered!They triggered the king’s frenzy!” “Throw her out!Make her pay for this!” The guards moved forward and dragged me roughly out of the building. Outside,it was ten degrees below zero. Snow was falling heavily. They pushed me into the snow and forced me to my knees. Chloe came out,wearing a thick mink coat and supported by a handmaid. She carried a bucket of water freshly drawn from a hole in the ice. “Evelyn,you’ve clearly forgotten your place.I’ll put you back in it!” She lifted the bucket and dumped it over my head. The cold stabbed into my veins. It took the last of my warmth. I shivered uncontrollably,my teeth chattering. Chloe leaned close to my ear. “Evelyn,for the rest of your life,you’ll be nothing but dirt under my shoe.I will always be above you,enjoying everything you can only dream of.” I raised my head and met her gaze. The bite on her neck was deep enough to show bone. Its edges were already festering and turning black. That was the venom that came with a Pureblood king’s frenzy. Without calming pheromones to neutralize it,the wound would never heal. It would only get deeper. I pulled my lips back into a mocking smile. “Is that so?You can barely survive one of his frenzies.Next month,what will you use to satisfy that beast?Queen?” Chloe’s face went pale. Her legs gave out.She collapsed in front of me. She was half a head shorter than me,even though I was kneeling. The surrounding attendants rushed to help her up. I saw some of them exchange glances. It was a look of scorn for their future queen. But Chloe didn’t see it. She clutched her battered body and ran off in a daze. She was close to breaking. What came next would be worth watching.
