Chapter 1 Celeste's Story Five years into our blood bond , Xavier Sinclair betrayed it . He secretly kept an omega behind my back . After I found out , I didn't make a scene ; instead , the very next day , I convinced that omega to run off with some rich businessman from the Silverpeak Clan . After that day , Xavier just slipped back into Pack life like nothing had changed - same sweet , caring mate as always . I thought the cheating thing was just a small interlude . But a year later , my family's business declared bankruptcy . My father , burdened with massive debts , jumped off a building ; my mother was sexually assaulted and tormented to death by creditors ; my younger brother was hit by a car and became a vegetable . And I couldn't bear the blow and fell ill , becoming bedridden . The moment before I died , Xavier's face was contorted in a grimace : " Remember when you sent Vivi to that sick old he - wolf ? She died in agony , tortured till there wasn't an inch of her left unbroken . You had to know this day would come , Celeste . That's Karma for you . " My wolf whined in pain . So it was that ... This was all Xavier's revenge against me . I lay in bed , my face deathly pale , staring blankly at the mate I loved with my life , and ultimately died with resentment . When I reopened my eyes , I was standing at the study door of our Pack house . Still panting , my heart not yet settled from the fright , the shock and grief hadn't completely dissipated yet when I overheard voices coming from inside . My wolf , still weak , couldn't make sense of the emotions flooding through me . Xavier was on the mind - link . " Hey bro , go ahead and put that suburban villa under Vivi's name . I owe you one for this - and remember , keep it quiet from Celeste . " This familiar conversation , I suddenly snapped awake . I'd been reborn ?! Exactly , it was at this very time in my previous life that I accidentally found out Xavier was having an affair with another omega . Snapping out of it , I heard someone inside say : " Vivi ? She's something else . Whenever I'm with her , I just feel chill but alive , you know ? Totally different from Celeste - she just sucks the air out of the room , like I'm stuck in some boring - ass routine . Right now , I'm just taking a little break , but even if I get tired of messing around , it's not gonna change how I feel about her . " Hearing it , I clenched my fingers , recalling what he had said before I died , and couldn't help but tear up again. My wolf whimpered , sensing my pain . Reining in my thoughts , I went back and sat on the sofa . Xavier saw me as soon as he came out and froze in his tracks . His wolf recognized my scent immediately . 20:55 0.3 % < Chapter 1 Celeste's Story " Honey , when did you get back ? " " Just got back and sat down . " I suppressed my emotions and said calmly . The smile on Xavier's face was replaced by guilt . He said , " There's a bit of an issue with the project . I gotta head back to the Pack Council . " Still the same excuse as in my previous life . I stared blankly at him for two seconds , " Go ahead . " My wolf was strangely quiet . In this life , I was tired and didn't want to hold on anymore . Xavier indeed did not return all night . And I sat numbly until dawn ; when the first ray of sunlight shone in , I rubbed my dry eyes , then got up , ate breakfast , and left the house . I first went to the law firm , then came to the Sinclair Group . Xavier's office was on the top floor . Menu The moment I stepped out of the elevator , I heard suggestive moans from his office . My wolf growled , a warning sign I couldn't ignore . " Mm ... Mr . Sinclair , I can't take it anymore . " " Mr. Sinclair ?! " Xavier was instantly displeased , gripping her waist and thrusting a few times more powerfully , making her pant continuously . Then he rasped in a low voice , half coaxing , half commanding , " You are naughty , aren't you ? What should you call me ? " She gripped his hand , overwhelmed with pleasure . " Xav , you are my sweetheart . " " Good girl ! " My fingernails dug deeply into my palms . Although I had seen all the truth clearly , my heart was unexpectedly shattered to pieces at that moment . I could feel my wolf trying to surface , clawing at the edges of my control . After a long while , I raised my hand and knocked on the door . Upon entering , I saw Xavier sitting at his desk , asking with an indifferent look , " Why are you here ? " " I have a document for you to sign . " I pulled out the Blood Bond Severance Agreement from my bag . Then I flipped to the last page where the signature goes , and handed it to him across the desk . " What document ? " Xavier took it , just about to glance at it . A whimper came from under the table , and he shivered , leaning back , then reacted by lightly coughing a few times , trying to cover up the noise from just now . I pretended not to hear , my fingernails dug several crescent - shaped marks into my bag . Swallowing the bitterness , I replied : " Nothing , just a property transfer agreement . " 0.3 % < Chapter 1 Celeste's Story Hearing this , Xavier no longer doubted . Menu Somewhat eagerly , he picked up the pen on the table , elegantly signed his name , then said : " For such a small matter , you could just have someone send it over , don't tire yourself out . " Was he afraid I'd get tired , or afraid I'd find out ? The scent of the other omega was still clinging to him , a nauseating mix of vanilla and deception . A sarcastic smile played on my lips , " It's fine , just this once . Get yourself busy , I'm heading back . " Walking out of the office , I immediately sent a mind message : " I can sell you twenty percent of the Sinclair Group's shares at a low price . " " Okay , when do we sign the contract ? " " One moon cycle later . " By then , the severance would be final , and this company , which I had painstakingly helped build , would also be discarded . My wolf howled in silent rage . " Xavier , in my previous life , you resented me for sending away the omega you loved . In this life , I will grant your wish . " I walked out of his office with a sneer . My wolf sensed freedom on the horizon .
