Chapter 1
Liona and Carmen were a famously toxic couple, known as bitter enemies across every pack.
Though destined mates, they hated each other’s guts, and yet their mate bond kept pulling them back together
In the first year after sealing the mate bond, he strutted around with an Omega stripper in public. She responded by smashing his million–dollar bneury
In the second year after selling the mate bond, he locked her in the pack kitchen’s walk in freeze for an entire day. She retallared by showing him, who couldn’t swim, Into the pack house’s pool
In the third year after sealing the mate bond, he stayed out all night, stirring up scandals. She roamed bars all night long, dragging him bark home
Today, the cursed and insulted each other. By night, they were unrestrainedly intimate in bed. Every second, they seemed to be praying for the other to
And in their fifth year, Alpha Carmen’s with came true
Linra died.
She died on her birthday, stabbed thirty–three times by a rogue wearing a mask who burst into her house,
The agony tore through every inch of her body as her consciousness began to fade.
She tried to scream, but all that came out was a set whimper.
he whispered his name, trembling fingers reaching for the phone that had fallen nearby. Summoning every last ounce of her strength, she dialed his number
He didn’t answer the first time, so she called again. Still no answer, she dialed a third time.
She didn’t know how many times she called before he finally picked up.
She had barely spoken the first syllable when his voice cut through the line, cold and annoyed,
“Liora, have you lost your mind? Do you have to keep calling? I don’t have time to fight with you today. Evelynne’s back, I’m going to pick her up.”
“Beep Beep”
The line went dead with a busy signal. Carmen had already hung up and completely powered off his phone.
Just like that, with that same unbearable impatience he always had with her, he ended the call. And the last thing Liora ever wanted to say to him died in
“Carmen. 1. I’m dying. Just this once can we not fight?”
The phone slipped from her lingers and clattered to the ground. Its screen dimmed slowly. She let out a bitter laugh, and her hand fell limp.
When she regained consciousness, she found herself standing at the Bridge of Echoes, a mystical place much like the River Lathe Crossing in would erase all memories of the past
Beneath hier Dowed a deep, swirling river that seemed to swallow everything whole.
The Moon Goddess stood before her, holding a bowl of potion.
just and start anew.”
Llora took the potion and drank it all in one ga
But nothing changed. Her memories rematod, sharp and vivid
She drank a second bowl This third, all the way to the tenth liat she still hadn’t forgotten a thing
“Moon Goddess, did you water this stuff down?” she asked with a bitter smile.
The Moon Goddess sighed. “Your obsession runs to deep. What is it you just can’t let go of?”
What couldn’t I let go of?

Linca closed her eyes, and they began to tremble
She, Carmen, and Evelynne had grown up together.
She and Evelynne had both been childhood sweethearts to Carmen. But Carmen had only ever loved Evelynne. He believed she was his true mate,
He stayed by Evelynne’s bedside when she had a fever, watching over her all night
He would sneak out of the pack in the middle of the night just to buy her favorite strawberry ice cream.
Whenever he looked at Evelynne, his eyes brimmed with deep, lingering affection.
But Liora wanted Carmen’s attention too.
to catch his eye, she constantly butted heads with him.
Over time, they became bitter enemies.
Even though they were fated mates, they just couldn’t get along.
Then Luna Emery, Carmen’s grandmother and the former Lana, forced Carmen to make Llora his mate by threatening her own life.
Carmen fought it, but in the end, he had no choice but to obey.
He never understood why.
Until the night of their mating ceremony, when he accidentally discovered Liora’s diary, filled cover to cover with love notes written only for him.
Only then did he realize the truth. She had truly loved him. So she refused to accept his rejection.
From that moment on, he convinced himself she was behind it all, that she had used his grandmother to force the bond and ruin his chance to choose his
own mate as his Lima
And from that moment on, he hated her with all his heart.
ן
But what he didn’t know was this that after he had been attacked by a rogue and left in a coma, the pack doctor diagnosed and warned he might become a vegetable and never wake again.
Hearing the news, his beloved Evelynne left the pack immediately
Only Liora stayed. Even though she had no idea whether he would ever wake, she came to the pack doctor and cared for him, wipe his face, talk to him
even when he couldn’t respond.
Her devotion moved his grandmother so deeply that the moment he woke, she rushed to have them seal the mate bond, terrified he’d miss his chance at a
mate who loved him truly.
Liora had wanted to tell him the truth so many times.
But every time she looked into his eyes, those eyes filled with hatred, she couldn’t say a word.
And those who couldn’t let go of their past are not allowed to reincarnate.
The Moon Goddess shared in her memories and sighed.
“Your obsession has trapped you. You can’t enter the next life. So, I’ll give you another chance. You may return to the living world for five days. If, in that time, you can make Carmen say the words ‘I love you“, you may live again. If not.. you must let go and move on.”
Llora Froze
Her lips parted, about to speak, but the Moon Goddess had already snapped her fingers.
A cool breeze swept over Liora. Everything went dark and her consciousness faded again
When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the familiar pack house.
The floor was soaked with blood. And on it by her own body, cold and lifeless. She died with unfulfilled wish as her eyes wide open.
Lira’s heart clenched. She crouched and tremblingly reached out to touch the familiar face. The moment her fingertips brushed against the ley skin, she jerked her hand back
Her throat felt choked, breath coming with difficulty
She had spent her whole life trying to get Carmen to say “I love you.”

Now she only
tly had five days.
How could she possibly make it happen?
But deep within her, a faint voice struggled.
It was her wolf, Lena, persuading her, “What if? What if he really does say 1171
Now was not the time for self–pity.
She had to deal with the situation before her.
First, she bent down and dragged her own corpse to the wardrobe, stop by agonizing step.
The weight of her body nearly suffocated r, but she dared not stop.
Not until she had shoved it inside the wardrobe and shut the door.
Only then did she finally breathe.
Then she fetched a bucket of water, melt on the floor, and began carefully scrubbing the bloodstains away with a rag
Every wipe sent a fresh stab of pain through her heart.
The bloodstains on the floor felt like the wounds between her and Carmen, impossible to erase and deeply etched in her memory.
Just as she finished wiping away the last trace, a voice rang out from behind, cold and full of contempt.
“Liora. What the hell are you doing?”
Her whole body went rigid. The rag slipped from her hand and dropped to the floor.
She turned around slowly and saw Carmen standing in the doorway.
He was dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit that made him look even more noble and alood.
But his eyes were full of disgust and impatience
Lora stared at him, feeling as if a lifetime had passed since she last saw him
Her threat moved, but no sound came out.
Because Carmen was not alone. Behind him stood Evelynne.
Dressed in white, blonde curls cascading over her shoulders, she looked gentle and elegant.
But the moment her eyes landed on Liora, her face turned ghostly pale, eyes wide with terror.
She even instinctively took a few steps back as if she’d seen something dreadful.
It had only been a few years, Liora couldn’t understand why Evelynne made such an extreme reaction.
Evelynne’s behavior was unusually abnormal.
Even Carmen seemed to notice something was wrong
Afraid she might fall, he hurriedly reached out to steady her. “Evelynne, what’s wrong?”
Evelynne clutched his arm rightly, trying to keep herself composed.
“It’s nothing….. I just smelled blood. It made me a little uncomfortable.”
Carmen immediately turned his gaze to Liora, his disdain deepening
“Liora, don’t you feel restless unless you’re causing trouble every day? It’s been five years. When will you finally calm down? What will it take for you to finally stop causing trouble?”
Liora stood still, looked him in the eye calmly, and answered, word by word,
“If you want me to stop, Carmen, then say one thing to me. Say “I love you”
