I slowly regained consciousness and watched an expensive chandelier hang above me. .
I lay on a silk sheet. It was as though I was in heaven. I felt so comfortable and happy.Heaven, do I really deserve to be there?I sat up, staring in disbelief at my surroundings.This was clearly the bedroom I shared with Ethan in his mansion.How did I return here all of a sudden?I quickly pushed the bedsheet off, rushing to the bathroom to check my reflection.It was still me. The beautiful Charlotte.Ten years ago, I was still Ethan's Luna, with a beautiful face praised by all. I have heard the rumor that I am the most beautiful woman in my pack, but after spending so much time in prison, I became the ghost of myself.Back then, as long as I smiled, numerous men would run over to me. And few will scamper away when they find out my wolf is runt.I was dazed by the face staring back at me.No way! Have I been reborn?Before I could recover from the shock, the room door swung open. "Sis, last night, did you and Ethan?..."I turned around to face her.Seeing the bite in my neck, her sweet voice became sharper: "You guys slept together?!"My heart skipped as I recalled the familiar scene. Not only was I reborn, but I have returned to ten years ago. The very week before Ethan and I got divorced.Last night was the first time we slept together in two years of our marriage. The night he finally marked me as his mate.I have always insisted on divorce since I was unfamiliar with the wolf bond. My wolf is the weakest, and most times I believe that I am just a human.Ethan has always been considerate of my feelings and has never forced me. His wolf recognized that we were mates first, and I did everything in my power to counter that.I was the beta's first daughter, and as at that time Ethan was still the Alpha prince, he was cold and indifferent to everyone, and I hated the fact that I was going to get married to a man like that.I kept on refusing him until the day I stood up to my parents and talked back at them. I was forced. I was literally pushed into marrying him, and I can't stop blaming him for that.During the last few months before our divorce, he endured all of my temper outbursts, and because I wouldn't want to see him, he would stay back at his office or work so late to make sure that I had slept deeply before he returned.Everything that happened the previous night was Isabella's idea, as long as I drug his wine and found a suitable woman for him. Cheating would be a very good ground for our divorce.However, I guess that when Ethan noticed that there was a problem with his wine, he refused anyone from touching him and tossed me into his room, locking the door behind him.He didn't care about my cries and screams. He pressed me down on the bed, fulfilling his role as my mate for the entire night.Everything that happened was so vivid in my head, and there was no way it was a dream."Big sis?"I almost forgot that Isabella was still standing in front of the door."What went wrong? How did you end up sleeping in his bed anyway?""His bed? That's our matrimony bedroom.""I'm just worried about you. Now that the plan is messed up, I wonder how long it will take for the divorce. You need to get away from him so you can get an eligible second chance.I walk over to her, looking at the mysteriously transparent silk gown she was putting on."I'm glad he came to my room; what if he had seen you on this? What do you think we would explain to the pack and our family?"She carefully bit her lips, trying to hide the guilt. "It was too hot yesterday, sis, and...""Was it that hot? It's the beginning of spring.""Uh... Not... Not especially hot, though; maybe I caught a fever. But that's the least important now. Maybe we should try another way, like you running away from the pack and threatening to go rougue if he doesn't sign the divorce paper.""That could be dangerous, Isabella. What if he doesn't sign it and I end up homeless? You know very well that father won't even accept to lend me a hand."Isabella chuckled. "That won't happen, sis. I have been saving some money; you could have a good life. Really !"There was silence. I just couldn't believe that all this time my little sister had brainwashed me. To think of it. She became so weird after I got married to Ethan, and she won't stop talking about how men dump their mate after they get pregnant or how the alpha's marriage crumbled and the wife ended up committing suicide."Are you still listening to me, Charlie?"I smiled. Keeping my temper locked in. "I have heard you, Isabella, but you have to go now. I need to rest since I couldn't get any sleep yesterday night.I saw her brows furrow in jealousy at my last statement."Go, I won't see you off."I pushed her slightly out of the main door and locked it.I could hear my own rapid breathing.Everywhere became silent again. I turned to look at the room that I once shared with Ethan. I touched the warning silk sheet, which still had the smell of my mate on it.Everything could re-start again.This time, I will put in all my effort to make sure that the divorce never happens.I have come back to love you, Ethan!.In my past life, I was wronged. I was so naive and trusting. My stepmother bullied me, my marriage was ruined by my stepsister, and my father even passed away in a tragic way. As if that was not enough, I was sent to prison wrongfully.In this life, not only would I accept Ethan as my mate, I would make sure we lived together forever and wouldn't allow myself to be foolishly used again.I could remember that after the wine incident, Ethan didn't come home again. The last time I saw him was the day I tried to kill myself. He came back from the hospital that day and signed the divorce paper like I wished. After that day, he vanished from my life completely. Ethan had one unique personality: when he spoiled me, he was limitless with his love, and when he went cold, he was untouchable as an iceberg. It would be difficult to get him back. But then, it would be foolish not to try. I waited until it was 5 p.m. in the evening, and seeing that he hadn't returned, I showered, dressed up, and
Feeling someone's eyes on me, I opened them quickly in alarm, only to be caught in his dark gaze. "You are still here?""I thought you were going to leave me alone here this night."Ethan stared at me warmly. However, it was obvious that he still doesn't believe that I have changed. "What time is it? Did I sleep for that long? I feel better now," I asked myself, raising Ethan's wrist to check his Vacheron Constantin watch. It was a few minutes past 9 p.m. I was about to let go of his wrist, but he held mine instead and pinned me to the wall. "What are you planning, Charlotte?"I couldn't breathe properly. He was impermissibly close, and I could smell his woody cologne. I stared at the greenest eyes I had ever come across. And she said with determination, "After yesterday's night, I decided to give our relationship a rethink.""A rethink? And that also leads to divorce, right?"I bit my lips slowly,pulled his neck, and leaned forward to kiss his red lips. Ethan's eyes widened in s
Luna's choosing a game!. It was more of a death trap than a game. That was what my father once said when I was still little—who knew I would participate in one myself one day? All through the night, I kept thinking about what it would be like. My mother-in-law doesn't like me, and she would even do anything within her power to make sure I was not chosen. I thought mate bonding was supposed to be all that I had to do. I looked at my surroundings and sighed. I slept in Ethan's room but woke up in mine. Does he really not want me again, or is he just avoiding trouble? I threw the sheet in a corner and headed out to look for him. The moment I opened the door, I saw him standing right at the door and adjusting his wrist watch. I could smell that he had just showered. "Are you feeling unwell?" Ethan asked, seeing my pale skin and my drowsy eyes. He placed his hands on my forehead, avoiding the part that was a bit swollen. I involuntarily hugged him tightly. I didn't even realize th
I smirked at what Isabella just said. I know she has her own plans. Maybe it was through Luna's choosing game that she got what she wanted. I won't be surprised if I find out that she tricked all the participants to win.However, too bad for her, Ethan is already working against that game taking place. He insisted to his father that he wouldn't marry another woman and make her his luna just because she found a way to win a life-threatening game. "Good for you, Isabella. I guess you will be competing with your elder sister for her husband.""No Charlie. I will just make sure you don't win the game, and when I win, I will also make sure I don't get married to him. That way, you can easily get a divorce and live in peace."I nod my head at her beautiful suggestion. I was about to tell Madam Lucy to bring out all of our wedding pictures, enlarge the most beautiful ones, and hang them in the sitting room, but then I got a call from the hospital. I drove straight to the general hospital
When I left the hospital, it was already dark. Ethan had called me repeatedly and even offered to drive me home, but I assured him I was okay. My phone dinged again, and since I was relaxed in the car, I decided to check out what notifications I had been receiving since morning."Oh shit! No way did I forget about that?!" I screamed as I read out the notification: October 30th, Ethan Sheln's birthday !I bit my lips in regret; I couldn't even wish him a happy birthday. How would he then believe I had changed for the better? "Could you stop me over there?" I pointed to Terrace Jewelry and Co. once I sighted it. It is one of the best jewelry shops in the Crimson Stone Pack. They have gold, silver, diamonds—whatever gem you want, just name it; they've got it. When I got into the store, the sales personnel didn't bother to attend to me. The reason was obvious. This store is for the rich and influential members of the pack, but today I dressed so casually because I had to rush, so I w
The luxury shop was in the district. Many people had already gathered, both inside and outside.cameras were flicking. "Don't try to change the topic. Are you able to buy this wrist watch? If you are not able to say so now, I will pay for it.".Surprisingly, I was neither shocked nor bothered. The more people came, the more my smile grew. If I wanted to deal with these two, there were several methods I could use.However, standing here and allowing them to take advantage of me is not my character. Not when it's a low-ranking werewolf like Mrs. Veronica, who's not even qualified to be shown in public. "I have a lot of things going on at the moment, and today is exceptionally busy. You both can continue your shopping while I pretend that I never met you guys here.""Stop acting aloof, crazy runt. Do you think you are so special? Let's wait and see if you will manage to pass the first test of Luna's game. At the end of the day, you will be thrown out and rejected," Stephanie said, stan
I glanced behind me, staring in shock at Ethan's cold and straight figure now walking towards me. How did he know I was here? Why would he show up here? Or was it a coincidence?The people watching from the sidelines were also shocked. They all bent and hid their faces from his imposing figure.The moment Mrs. Veronica and Stephanie turned around and saw Prince Ethan,. Their faces froze in shock."My lovely wife was deserted by her family? How do I know if this? " Ethan. Asked in. Low tone. Although his question was inoffensive, the temperature in the shop dropped in an instant. One of the sales attendants, the particular one who was very rude to me earlier, stood out and bowed her head, almost touching her knees. "CEO Sheln, why would you be here at this time?"Ethan didn't spare her a glance. He walked to where I stood. The employees at the side unconsciously stepped back. I raised my hand and smiled. " I am fine. There's no need to stand up for me."Whoever called him to this p
The evening sky was heavy, and it started to drizzle. The street seemed very bleak at night, accentuated by the fall of the hazy drizzle, which made the streetlight seem a little dimmer. The autumn air was cold, yet standing by Ethan's side, I didn't feel any cold. I finally found the moment to ask the question that has been on my mind ever since."How did you know I was in there?"Ethan didn't reply; he gently opened the door for me to enter. "Get in the car."I got in the car. "What do you want to eat?" Ethan also got in the car and asked. I really felt bad at that moment. It was his birthday and not mine yet. I have stressed him enough, and he was still going to buy me food?"I will eat anything you want, but the bills are on me.""It's fine; spend your time on me; I will spend the money," his warm voice said as he adjusted and fixed my seat belt. I couldn't help it. I blushed at his response and looked away. "Meanwhile. The issue of your card being frozen, you didn't let me kn
