### Chapter 1: Chapter-1

Meanwhile, after narrowly escaping death, I had just finished the paperwork to transfer to another werewolf pack under my new identity.I quietly listened as Jax told me everything that went down, not feeling any satisfaction at all. If anything, I just felt a little sad.After all that back and forth, they still ended up dying young, just like they had in my last life.Seeing me lower my head without a word, Jax thought I was grieving and thoughtfully handed me a tissue.I didn't take it. Instead, I finally asked the question I'd been wanting to ask all along. "Jax, you were reborn too, weren't you? You weren't at the marking ritual in my last life, and I remember you'd already left for another werewolf pack by then."Jax's expression froze for a moment before he took a deep breath and nodded.I quickly asked, "How did you die?"Although I didn't know why I was given a second chance at life, death was clearly a necessary part of it.Jax stared at me in silence. There were too

Florian quickly regained his composure. He got to his feet and wiped his face. The tear stains remained, but his gaze had already turned cold.He simply refused to believe that I had died so suddenly.Florian ordered his assistant to pull up all the surveillance footage of me, then locked himself in his room and watched it nonstop. Frame after frame flashed by, but the more he watched, the more his heart ached.He saw how I would stand by the door looking dejected for a long time every time he left, only going back to my room after dark.He also saw how, just yesterday, I could only helplessly curl up on the floor while the werewolves Jessica brought beat me up.With every scene, his guilt and heartache grew.After Florian left yesterday, I stayed inside the room. Then Jessica appeared in the surveillance footage. She secretly sneaked in with a group of werewolves and tampered with the door.Before leaving, Jessica also started a fire in the kitchen. She smiled triumphantly as t

Blood dripped from the corner of my mouth, but instead of getting angry, I laughed. "Jessica, if I don't come out, I'm afraid you'll end up having to dissolve your mate bond with Florian."My words hit her like a spark, burning her eyes red."Shut up!" Jessica's chest heaved as her voice turned sharp. "Florian would never be willing to leave me."She glared at me, practically screaming, "I'm the one he loves most. This pup is the best proof."Then, as if suddenly remembering something happy, the anger on Jessica's face vanished, and she let out a soft laugh. "Florian never told you, did he? I deliberately drugged myself that day. He wouldn't touch me at first, but the moment he saw another man holding me, he went crazy."He threw me onto the bed and didn't stop until morning. He kept saying my name over and over, telling me he loved me."She looked as if she were back in that night, unconsciously wrapping her arms around herself with a sweet smile on her lips."After that night,

Florian's expression stiffened as he made his way back to Jessica's side despite himself, still pretending not to care. "Then it's settled."With that, he ran straight to her.Jessica had no idea what we'd talked about. All she knew was that Florian had chosen her again and left me behind. She flashed a victorious smile, as if she were showing off Florian's love for her.It was only after those two disappeared from sight that I dropped my pitiful act."You…" Jax hesitated, unsure how to say what was on his mind. He couldn't understand how I'd suddenly seemed like a completely different person.I explained, "I'm still me. I didn't believe any of his lies. If I left right away, he'd find me again. There's no way he'd let me go so easily. So, we have to wait for an opportunity that will drive him crazy."I went back to our place the next day. Florian seemed pleased that I'd listened to him. He pulled me close and held me like nothing between us had ever gone wrong."I thought you'd

They were both stunned.Worried that I'd get upset again, Jax quickly drove Florian out of the room.Even though Florian looked concerned, he didn't stay any longer. "I'll come see you again once you've calmed down."Florian said he would come back, but I didn't see him for the next few days.Meanwhile, Jax stayed and took great care of me. Whenever it was time to eat, he'd blow on the food to cool it down before gently feeding it to me. He treated me like a pup, which made me feel pretty embarrassed.I wanted to politely refuse, so I reached for the bowl in his hands. "Jax, thank you, but I can eat on my own."But Jax pulled the bowl away. "It's no big deal. You're the patient. You should get some rest."I could only obediently open my mouth and let him finish feeding me.Because I was still weak and couldn't walk, every time I needed to use the bathroom, I had to ask Jax to carry me there.He could carry me effortlessly, yet he walked so slowly. I was starting to wonder if I

Blood was still gushing out of me, and I could only lie helplessly on the ground, unable to move even a finger. Toby was thrown into another corner. He dragged his injured leg behind him, slowly crawling toward me.The pain was quickly draining the life out of me. Just when I felt most helpless, a pair of shoes stopped in front of me. I struggled to look up and saw my old friend, Jax Dunn. I tried to say something, but before I could, I lost consciousness.When I opened my eyes again, I was in the hospital. The excruciating pain was gone. I instinctively reached down and touched my flat stomach. The pup inside me was gone.Even though I knew this would happen, tears still welled up in my eyes.A loud commotion suddenly came from the doorway. Florian shouted, "Why won't you let me in? I'm Olivia's fiance!"Jax blocked his way and refused to move. "Did you think about who she was to you when you stole her healer from her? She almost died because of you! And you still have the nerve
