"Who or what have we been running from?
We are supposed to be the living embodiment of everything malicious.
Everything one fears.
Indestructible and emotionless.
The kings of killing.
So what, I ask you, are we running from and why?"
"We are running from our creators because in the end, what's a creation against its creator?"
A traumatising shriek echoes throughout the room as they shakily glance at the clock as it strikes midnight right before their eyes.
"Looks like the hunt has finally begun..."
I wasn't born wicked. In fact, I was once a generous, lively, sweet, and caring daughter of the influential and wealthy Royal Chief Sentinel. My father was guarding the borders, and fought many battles for the Alpha King. But love destroyed me. When I first entered the palace as the chosen mate of the Alpha King, I fell in love with him at first sight. My feelings were reciprocated as he favored me above all the other chosen mates. In no time, I became his Royal Consort.
However, my happiness was short-lived. Everything changed when he met my stepsister-his fated mate. From that moment, she became his entire world, and I became a shadow of my former self. Nature itself became my enemy; I couldn't compete with the unbreakable bond of fated mates.
Consumed by jealousy, loneliness, and bitterness, I did the unthinkable-I killed the center of the Alpha King's universe. In return, he ended my life. My story came to a tragic end.
But the Moon Goddess granted me another chance. I was reborn, five years before I first met the Alpha King. This time, I vowed to change my fate. I would no longer trust the Alpha's feelings or succumb to my old mistakes.
Yet fate played a cruel trick on me. I was no longer his chosen mate-I was his fated mate. How can I avoid another tragic end when destiny has rewritten the rules?
