But just as the darkness threatened to swallow me whole, a burning sensation surged through my body, and I heard a voice in my mind— Naiah, my wolf. "They will pay for it!" She snarled.
And then, just as suddenly, the world around me shifted. A blinding light flashed before my eyes, and the sensation of falling vanished. My heart pounded in my chest as I opened my eyes, expecting to see the afterlife.
But instead, I found myself lying on a soft bed, the familiar scent of pine and cedar filling my senses. I knew this place. My heart raced as I looked around, recognizing the room—the room that once belonged to me and Alpha Rennon.
"What the hell is happening..." I whispered, my voice trembling as I sat up, my hands gripping the sheets. "Didn't I die just now?"
The door creaked open, and my breath caught in my throat. There he was—Alpha Rennon, just as I remembered him, his strong form filling the doorway. But he wasn't alone. Behind him stood Paige, looking timid and shy, nothing like the monster who had driven me to the edge of that cliff.
"Senna," Alpha Rennon said, his voice heavy with an emotion I couldn't place. "I'm sorry... I found my fated mate. She was a slave omega in her pack, and I must accept her and help her."
His words echoed in my mind, the weight of them crushing me. No. No, по, по.... This was the day it all began—the day Alpha Rennon brought Paige into our lives, the day everything started to fall apart.
My hands shook as I pinched myself, the pain sharp and real. I wasn't dreaming. This wasn't some cruel illusion. It was real.
I have been reborn.
SENNA'S POV
The room was heavy with tension, the air thick with an intensity that hovered between us. I stood there, taking in the sight of Rennon and Paige, feeling the memories of the past flood my mind. But this time, the hurt didn’t consume me. I had already lived through that pain, and I refused to let it control me now.
Before, I was hysterical. I was livid at just the thought of another woman being with my Alpha, but I knew better now.
I drew a slow, deliberate breath, forcing my racing heart to calm. My emotions were a wild storm inside me, but I knew I couldn’t afford to lose control. Not again. The last time I let my anger and despair rule me, it had only driven Rennon further into Paige’s arms. This time, I would play it differently.
