Alexa woke up and Ryan was gone. She stood up and found her head was still safe, as Ryan hadn't killed her.
But his powerful gaze still sent chills down her spine. The reason he didn't strangle her was because of his respect toward her father, the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack. Alexa's Alpha father had earned respects from all packs.
She knew Ryan's exploits, he was a ruthless butcher, that's what all the packs said about him. He used his iron fist and ruthlessness to make his people stronger in three years. Everyone said he was a demon, but he couldn't stop the she-wolves from drooling over him.
Alexa fell to the ground like a leaking tire, she failed to win Ryan's cooperation, she did not want to be Ryan's mate, she wanted to cooperate with him.
The Blood Moon pack rules state that women can't be pack heirs, so she needs Ryan to be her contract mate. That's why David seduced her.
But she is sure that if she pesters him again, Ryan will do what he says and hang her body at the entrance of the Blood Moon pack.
But she would not give up, she dried her tears, she needed to clean herself up, and when she saw the clown in the mirror, she finally knew why Ryan had rejected her.
Alexa's heart raced as she stood in front of the mirror, her mind struggling to make sense of the person staring back at her. She couldn't believe what she had done to herself. The black eyeliner around her eyes was thick and heavy, creating a dramatic and almost exaggerated look that made her feel like a clown. The deep red lipstick on her lips was just as bold and attention-grabbing, and she felt like it drew too much attention to her face.
She ran her fingers through her hair, feeling two braids each side cascaded down her back. It looks so childish and silly. She didn’t even know how she had done this but right now, She felt like a cartoon character.
Suddenly, memories flooded back to her from her previous life. She remembered Lucy, her best friend, telling her that David liked her when she wore her makeup like this and David had confirmed it himself. He had told Alexa that he thought she looked stunning with her bold eyeliner and that it made her stand out from the crowd.
But, after David complimented her appearance, she had found herself unable to resist. Despite the teasing and mocking she had received from her classmates, she didn’t give up and continued to dress this way, just to please David.
But now, as Alexa looked at herself in the mirror, she realized the error of her ways. Why had she let someone else's opinion of her dictate how she should look? And why had she prioritized pleasing David over her own self-respect?
Feeling a mix of shame and anger, Alexa reached for a makeup remover wipe and began scrubbing at her face with fervor. As the black smudges began to disappear, she felt a sense of relief wash over her. For the first time in a long time, she felt like herself again.
And now, She has gotten another chance. She could take revenge, she was back into her life: she is reborn now.
The Moon Goddess was kind enough to bless her with another life where she could correct her mistakes and she was never grateful as much as she was now.
"Thank you for giving me this chance, I'll not let you and my parents down!” She whispered with tears rolling down from her eyes.
Luckily, her memories of the past year are so fresh in her mind and it’s killing her… It’s breaking her into pieces. Each word from her boyfriend and her best friend still lingers in her mind. The way they both did everything together without any mercy… breaks her heart.
She just couldn’t believe that they could both together do something like this.
Her father’s death flashed in front of her. His screams filled her ears. She shook her head, trying not to cry. She saw many people dying protecting them.
She saw their limbs cut, her father's head hanging at the entrance, blood drops falling on her beta, him licking the blood with evil glint in his eyes like he was living his whole life for that moment.
Shutting her eyes, she tried not to think how those three people took many others' lives by torturing them.
“David and Lucy… I will never forgive you both. You think you are going to kill me… but this time, it’s my win. I will make sure, you both suffer and learn the lesson! I will make you three pay for what you are going to do!” Alexa said, gritting her teeth with anger looking at herself in the mirror.
It was a memory that plagued her every waking moment, haunting her with the weight of loss and pain. Every time she thought of it, the images played over and over in her mind like a movie reel, and her anger grew stronger. And with each passing second, her need for revenge became more intense.
She could feel her heart pounding in her chest as the rage bubbled up within her. It was like a fire burning in her veins, a flame that threatened to consume her whole being.
In that moment, she felt like she could take on the world. She could feel the strength in her muscles, the power in her bones, and the fury in her soul. She wanted nothing more than to hunt down them and make them pay for what they had done and are going to do!
The thought of torturing them peacefully filled her mind, and a dark smile crept across her face. She imagined herself capturing them, tying them up, and slowly inflicting pain upon them until they begged for mercy. And then, just when they thought it was over, she would suck the life out of them, drain them of their blood and watch as they withered away.
The ring of her mobile snapped her out of her thoughts. She looked at her fist and her knuckles were all read.
She slowly opened her palm and looked at how she almost would have hurt herself. She sighed walking towards the coffee table and picked up her mobile.
She picked up the phone and looked down at the screen to see the name she hates. Lucy.
Her eyes turned red with rage. Taking a deep breath, she swiped the green button and kept it on speaker as she laid on the bed and held her mobile closer.
"Hey… Lucy.” She muttered sweetly, feeling disgusted at the thought of her anymore.
"Hey Alexa, how did things turn out?" She asked, she could smell the curiosity here.
"What?" Alexa frowned.
"How did things with Ryan turn out?" Lucy pressed on it. Alexa could hear shuffles on the other side and she knows it's David. They both want her to live without a mate so that they could kill her easily.
"Oh, that turned out the way we wanted." Alexa faked a squeal, that sounded really real.
"He got tired of me. I tried seducing him and touching him everywhere but he didn’t like it at all. He just threw me out of the room saying that he hates a mate like me and told me to never appear in front of him." Alexa continued taking a deep breath.
"Wow! That's what we want, but why do you sound a bit sad?" Lucy asked with a frown.
"Not at all! I am happy that I'm going to be with David from now on. You know, how much I wanted that… right?" Alexa asked, tightening her jaw in anger.
"Of course, I do! And we should celebrate this. Your Mate is going to reject you and you will be a free bird and then, you can have David for yourself for… ever…" Lucy said and Alexa closed knowing very well what was going on the other side. She just nodded her head trying to hold a grip on herself and sighed.
"Yeah. We will celebrate for sure. But right now, I gotta do something. See you later." Alexa said.
"Yeah. I gotta do something as well. See you!" Lucy replied and ended the call before Alexa.
Fisting the bed sheets in her hands, she cried. Cried out for everything. For whatever is going to happen. Her bad fate. Her betraying friend and lover. Her own death. Her breaking mate bond and how f****d up her life is, even if it's a rebirth.
She wanted to hurt everyone who was a reason to hurt her. Lucy and David topped the list. And she was sure they'd be celebrating it with s*x that they fooled Alexa again.
