Chapter 1: Refusing the Chains of the Past.

Emily's Pov

I wake up startled, my heart racing. The window light floods the room; I feel my head pounding, and it takes a while for my vision to focus and realize where I am.

How did I end up in my old room at my parents' house?

Before I can even search for an answer, the door to my room swings open, and the figure of my younger sister, Nina, appears outside.

Good morning, birthday girl! Congratulations on turning eighteen! Nina exclaims excitedly, rushing into the room.

I furrow my brow; something is wrong... something is different. I look at my hand and notice that I'm not wearing my wedding ring. It's when Nina jumps on the bed with a smile on her face that the truth, the memories, hits me.

On our third wedding anniversary, I was so happy, carrying our first child, eager to share the news with my husband, Jimmy Doorson. As I approached his office, I was met with the most cruel discovery: my husband, Jimmy Doorson, and my younger sister, Nina Turner, having an affair. They exchanged kisses and passionate touches that made me nauseous. My heart shattered at that moment, unaware that it would not only be a betrayal in our marriage but also to my wolf pack, Blue Bay Pack.

Jimmy Doorson led a rebellion, attempting to seize power from my father, Alpha David Turner. His plan not only cost me my life but also the life of our unborn child.

My hands instinctively go to my now-empty belly, without my little wolf cub. My wolf, Lily, whimpers inside me, and together, we share the pain of our loss.

Emily? Are you okay? Nina asks with a concerned voice, bringing me back to the present. This time, I can see the true Nina Turner. My beloved and trusted younger sister betrayed me in the cruelest way possible.

Lily growls with anger inside me, and I try to keep her under control. I need to figure out how I ended up in the past, and why I got this second chance in my life.

Yeah, yeah. I'm fine, I finally speak, clearing my throat. Just still trying to fully wake up.

Come on, come on, sis, Nina says, pulling me by the arm to get out of bed. There's a wonderful breakfast waiting for you.

My body follows my sister's movement, but when I step on the floor, I pull my arm back, away from Nina's touch. My younger sister looks at me in surprise but says nothing.

You go ahead; I need to use the bathroom, I declare with a restrained voice. Nina nods, her expression puzzled. I wait for her to leave the room and close the door behind her.

Lily stirs inside me, more wounded and incredulous than I am. I need to stay calm, I can't lose control.

We'll figure out what happened, I murmur to Lily and myself. I go to the bathroom and face my reflection in the mirror. It takes several blinks to get used to the fact that I'm eighteen again. My hair is long; Jimmy Doorson liked it short. Memories of my past life cause immense discomfort. Lily is fierce; I feel her anger, her desire to rip my sister apart. I can even visualize it. Lily takes control, transforms, and attacks Nina without warning. She tears off her arms, bites her face, and tears apart her entire body.

Lily, we need to be mindful, I speak toward my reflection. But Lily only feels the pain of losing our child, the betrayal of Nina, and Jimmy's cruel actions leading to our death.

I wash my face to clear my thoughts and keep Lily in check. Finally, I descend the stairs to the kitchen of the house, where there's a commotion among the staff. They all bow slightly in my direction; I try to reciprocate with smiles, but it's difficult. It's challenging to be back in my eighteen-year-old body, not understanding how I ended up here.

Before I can get lost in a spiral of confusing thoughts, my father appears at the kitchen door with open arms, ready to receive me.

My little wolf! Happy birthday! David, my father, speaks with a loud and hearty voice, a wide smile spreading across his face. I go into his arms, and he hugs me tightly. I feel protected and embraced in that paternal hug. I control my emotions not to cry.

David leads me to the table full of food, a well-set feast in front of me. Everything looks delicious, but my appetite doesn't open up. I can't find the joy I felt the first time I turned eighteen; there's a three-year burden on me that I don't believe will ever go away.

I sit across from my father, who takes his position at the head of the table. Our employees walk around us, listing the food options we have.

I'd like an espresso, I request with a restrained voice to one of our maids. She promptly nods and leaves my presence.

How are you feeling, my princess? Dad asks seriously, his elbows resting on the table, and his firm eyes stare at me with seriousness. I inhale deeply, trying to maintain composure.

I'm fine, Dad, I reply with a gentle but forced smile. Dad notices my reluctance to show happiness.

Nina joins us at the table; my wolf Lily growls once again inside me at the presence of my younger sister. Nina sits two empty chairs away from me, looking cheerful and animated.

What a delicious smell in this place, Nina comments. Dad agrees with her, and I make an effort to remain peaceful, even feeling Lily's lupine emotions wanting to manifest.

I wonder what your fiancé, Jimmy Doorson, will give you as a gift, sis? Nina asks, and my eyes flicker upon hearing his name. My throat dries before I can answer her. I bet you're super anxious and happy to marry him, aren't you, Emily? Nina asked with an innocent tune, making my blood boil.

Dad seems to notice the change in my body; as an alpha, his sense of smell, hearing, and vision are always sharp. He raises an eyebrow at my reaction to my sister's question.

My little wolf, Dad says with a deep and penetrating voice. I lower my head upon hearing his voice, expecting a reprimand for my reaction. Are you ready to marry Jimmy Doorson? Dad asks with concern. I raise my eyes and meet my father's gaze; he looks serious. My heart accelerates a beat, surprised by the question. It's the opportunity I have to change my future, to escape the death that awaits me in three years.

Dad... the sentence gets stuck in my throat. I clear it better, trying to maintain my posture at the table. Sir, I believe I am not ready or prepared to marry Jimmy Doorson. If it pleases you, dear father, I would like to have more time to reflect on this decision, I say with sincerity. My heart is beating fast. The only person who can force me to marry is my father, David Turner. He is the alpha of our pack, Blue Bay Pack. I could never go against a direct decision given by him.

David, my father, gives a quick nod, causing a wave of relief in me. I feel my body relax.I always know my father was not happy about my marriage.He thinks Jimmy Doorson is an asshole.The fact that he truely is.

Emily, you're already engaged and marked by Jimmy Doorson; you need to marry him, Nina says incredulously in my direction, her face showing her indignation.

Engagements can be broken, Nina. And I'm not marked by Jimmy Doorson, I reply firmly to her.

My younger sister casts her indignant eyes at me and then at my father, who observes her reaction. My wolf Lily stirs contentedly at seeing how irritated my sister is with my newfound determination. I won't make the same mistakes I made when I was eighteen. I won't let Nina Turner manipulate my emotions, leading me straight to my own ruin at the hands of Jimmy Doorson. The young, naive, and lovestruck Emily Turner no longer exists. I won't allow myself to be manipulated or deceived by my sister or anyone else who wants to take advantage of me.

Chapter 2: From Nightmares to Reality.

Emily's Pov

Daddy, she can't do this, Nina says, pouting towards my father.

Nina, your sister is eighteen, and I fully approve of canceling the engagement, David announces with an authoritative voice. You don't have to pressure your sister about something that doesn't concern you.

Before Nina could protest my father's warning, our mother, Minnie Turner, entered the room, smiling and super excited. My wonderful and grand princess! May the stars and the sun sing with joy and love for you on this special and important day. The day of your birth is my second favorite day! Minnie declares, her arms embracing me with so much affection and tenderness that I truly feel happy on my birthday.

Thank you, Mom, I responded sincerely. Minnie steps back and sits next to Dad; they exchange a quick and affectionate kiss. Next to me, the maid arrives with my espresso. I sip a bit, hoping that things will improve now with Mom joining our breakfast.

Why do you have that look, Nina? Mom asks with a concerned voice and a furrowed brow. Nina has sad eyes and a slouched posture.

Mom, Emily doesn't want to marry Jimmy Doorson, Nina announces with her melancholic tone. Mom looks at me in surprise, and her eyes turn to my father, who nods calmly. I see Mom breathe a sigh of relief and close her eyes for a moment.

I admit I'm relieved with the news, dear, Mom declares to my surprise and Nina's as well. You have plenty of time to decide to get married. If your father is not against this decision, neither am I. Minnie smiles reassuringly in my direction, and I breathe a sigh of relief. Nina forces a smile and straightens up in her chair.

You're right, Mom. You have my support, sis, Nina announces with a friendly voice. I just hope Jimmy takes the news of the breakup well.

A shiver runs down my spine upon hearing that. Would Jimmy do something now that I don't want to proceed with our marriage? Sensing the change in my hormones, Dad asks me:

Are you okay, my little wolf? David says, concerned.

Leaning forward, resting my elbows on the table, I let my concern show through my voice. It's just that... I say with a bit of hesitation, What if Jimmy harbors some resentment when we break off the engagement? I worry about the idea of causing resentment in him against you, against our wolf pack, Dad. I knew how cruel Jimmy would be in the future. Could he already be planning his revenge now?

Don't worry about Jimmy, my daughter. He won't harm you or us. You are my daughter, you have the protection of our entire wolf pack; Jimmy cannot go against that. You are safe, always will be.

We are your family, dear. We will always love you above all, Minnie, my mother, declares with an affectionate voice, and I feel more secure hearing that.

I realize how much I had lost this in my old life by marrying Jimmy. I was so stubborn to marry him, influenced by Nina, that I ended up distancing myself from my parents. I didn't want to know more. I only wanted to serve my husband and fix our marriage. I didn't care how this helped Jimmy's plan against my parents. With little connection with my parents in my past life, Jimmy managed to falsely accuse them of something they didn't commit, causing the death of my parents and the domination of our wolf pack. I was so naive and in love in my old life that I feel ashamed now for being so foolish, so deceived by Jimmy and Nina.

The rest of our breakfast is taken up by other matters regarding our wolf pack and my birthday. Nina still subtly tries to convince me otherwise about the marriage breakup. Mom and Dad can't see how manipulative Nina is; she's always kind, lovely, and friendly. I fell into her web of manipulation in my past life. My wolf Lily feels increasingly fierce inside me, wanting to attack Nina at any moment. Lily's thirst for revenge merges with mine. It makes me more determined to get revenge on Jimmy Doorson. I want to reveal Nina Turner's true personality to everyone.

Almost in the middle of the afternoon, when we were all separated, my parents were busy with family and wolf pack business. I decide to rest before getting ready for the banquet of my birthday with the guests. I sit in a rocking chair in our garden; the breeze plays with my loose hair and makes me a bit more sober to plan my revenge. My wolf Lily, would take control and destroy Nina now, but that wouldn't solve the problem and would get us banned from the wolf pack. It's necessary to unmask Jimmy and Nina.

My mind thinks of many revenge scenarios. They make me fall asleep in the rocking chair. In my dreams, I am dragged to the moment of my death in my old life.

I'm cornered in the room that was mine and Jimmy's; there's fire around me, making it difficult to see and breathe. I try to find the exit, but I'm prevented. Someone pushes me with great force, making me fly against a cabinet on the wall, vases and books falling on top of me, leaving me disoriented and injured. Jimmy emerges amidst the smoke and the crackling of the fire; a few steps behind him, Nina appears with a malicious smile on her lips.

What... I say with difficulty, coughing and feeling my lungs burn. Why are you doing this? I ask with suffering in my voice.

Nina takes a few steps forward, standing in front of me. She crouches down and grabs me by the hair, forcing me to tilt my head back.

You always had everything. So spoiled, so loved and cherished by our parents. So unbearable. Nina spits poisonous words at me. I try to summon my wolf Lily, but I have no strength. I feel destroyed by the betrayal, by the flames around us.

Nina, what will our wolf pack think of this? Don't do this, Nina, I whimper to my sister. Nina, in turn, laughs and throws my head back, making me hit the cabinet forcefully and feel even more disoriented.

The Blue Bay Pack is destroyed, Emily, Jimmy declares proudly, his lupine eyes appearing on his human face. You never had what it took to rule our wolf pack, and I made sure of that. You are too weak. Nina speaks with disdain. She approaches Jimmy, and they kiss with a sickening passion in front of me.

I try to get up, but Jimmy kicks me hard in the stomach, knocking me down
