ELENA POV

I knew I shouldn't trust her. But at that moment... I didn't care.

'I want to live.' I said to myself.

Dominic's voice echoed behind me. "You are lucky Sir Leonardo wants to save you. Take her to his car."

The Gamma's grip wasn't tightened on my arm. That was it! My only chance to escape. I looked around and no one was looking at me anymore. They all concentrated on the party like what was happening to me was nothing to them.

I twisted suddenly and slammed my elbow into his chest.

He staggered and I ran away.

Gasps erupted behind me. "Catch her!" Dominic's voice thundered.

My bare feet hit the cold floor, then on the gravel. I followed the grass path that will be easier to get out of the mansion.

I didn't stop running. The night air slapped my face, as I ran more than my weak legs could carry me.

I didn't stop for a bit. Branches scratched my skin as I ran blindly into the darkness.

Then..A howl came. My blood froze, I turned.

Wolves! Dozens of them already took the bus path chasing me.

My heart nearly stopped. "No... no... no..." I whispered, forcing my legs to move faster. I tried begging my wolf to come out so I could run faster but she refused.

I turned to the mansion direction and saw Dominic on the top floor. He was watching me with his favorite snipper I bought for him. He uses it to hunt rogues..

Lilliana beside him, she was smiling at me. She already knew I could see from afar.

My chest tightened in betrayal...my family was hunting me like I was a dog.

I turned back and continued running.

Bang! A sharp pain exploded in my leg.

I screamed as I collapsed, my body slamming into the ground.

Warm blood soaked through my skin.

Fear exploded in me, but I just didn't want to die. I was carrying Dominic's child. I don't want to lose my baby. I want to live!!

Tears blurred my vision as I forced myself up, my injured leg trembling violently.

I limped forward, dragging myself toward the red car.

Every step felt like fire tearing through my flesh.

But I kept moving. Telling myself. "Elena, you must live!!"

I reached the car, hands shaking as I unlocked it with the key card.

I fell into the driver's seat and slammed the door shut.

My fingers fumbled with the ignition...

The engine roared to life. I drove out instantly.

The mansion disappeared behind me as the road stretched into darkness.

My breathing was unsteady, my hands soaked with my blood on the steering wheel.

Two white trucks coming at my back, flashed their headlights.

It was right behind me. My heart dropped.

"They are chasing me..."

I pressed harder on the accelerator.

The car sped up very fast. It went too fast. I reached for the brake....it didn't work.

My stomach dropped. I pressed again. Cold flooded into my veins.

"No!!..no... no, no..."

My hands shook as realization hit me like a slap. The brakes were cut.

Lilliana!! This was her plan all along..

A sob tore from my throat. "I'm going to die..."

My vision blurred with tears, but I forced myself to stay conscious.

Think!! Think! What to do?

My hands trembled as I grabbed my phone.

I thought of the person who I broke his heart. I was scared he wouldn't pick.

Cassian The mate I rejected.

I called him. It rang once.

He picked up instantly..

"Uncle..." My voice broke. "I... I can't stop the car. The brakes..they're gone. They're chasing me..."

He was silent.

For a second, I thought..Maybe he wouldn't want to save me.

"Elena, I am already on my way to the mansion..I heard what happened." he said.

My heart shattered. "Why...?" I whispered, tears falling freely now. Why are you coming to save me...after everything I did to you...?"

His voice soft. "Elena, be calm. I am on my way. You only have to drive into my car. I am closer to the mansion. So focus on the road. When you see me just drive into me and Everything will be fine."

I sobbed bitterly. "No...no...I can't let you die to save myself."

My grip tightened on the wheel. The trucks got closer. Their Lights blinded me.

"I am sorry Cassian..." I cried. "I can't let you go down for me."

I caught the call and threw my phone out of the window. I turned the car and crashed into the road rail.

The ringing pain in my head cut deeper than my bullet wound. I noticed I couldn't move my legs..it was struck. While I saw blood gushing out between my legs.

The door suddenly opened and it was the smiling Lilianna.

"You have 9 lives. this bitch!! You are still not dead." she said smiling.

She pulled me out and I laid flat on the floor. I couldn't feel my body anymore.

She bent down, playing with my hair. "Elena, don't blame me for wanting you dead. Not my fault you treated my brother's impotency secretly and got pregnant. I want to be the Luna and ruler of the pack. That's my mission coming back to the Bloodmoon Clan. You have to die for me to rule. I can't accept any new member in the family."

Something inside me broke completely. My chest rose and fell rapidly as panic consumed me. So this was the real reason why I had to die. But I couldn't say a word. My throat was stuck and my voice had disappeared.

She said, with her sweet and innocent voice. "Go to sleep Elena, in your next life avoid the Alvarez family."

The pain was so much and I was losing consciousness.

Suddenly I saw a figure running towards us.

A very familiar figure. It was him!! Uncle Cassian ran in my direction.

I smiled. "He really came for me...."

Lilliana tried to run away as she saw them, but His hungry wolves bounced on her. While I shut my eyes to the darkness......

"""""""

Suddenly, air slammed into my throat again.

I stood up with a scream. "Kill her Uncle Cassian!!!!"

My chest rose and fell wildly as I looked around.

Elena POV

I stood up with a scream. "Kill her!! Uncle Cassian!!!!"

My chest rose and fell wildly as I looked around.

"What just happened? Why am I here?"My hands trembled as I touched my leg. I could feel my legs. There was no pain or blood on it.

"I am alive!" I said to myself, then I screamed. "I am Alive Bitches!!!!"

I stood up jumping on the bed. "I am fucking Alive!!"

I looked around. It was my room 10 years ago. I am back to 10 years ago.

A gentle knock came on the door, and I rushed to it and opened the door with a smile.

But my smile faded seeing my mother, the biggest hypocrite in the wolf world. Why am I alive again to face this woman? Facing her for 35 years, isn't that enough?

She held my hand lovingly. "Are you okay Elena? Why the long face? Aren't you happy to see me?"

And that is it, the hypocrisy!! She called me shameless that I cheated on her son with Leonardo. But her!! This hypocrite woman has been sleeping with a human man for years.

I held her hand and smiled. "I just miss you so much Mother. I thought now that your real daughter Lilianna is back. That you won't love me anymore."

She frowned. "Who said so? You are my number one jewel. I will still love you. Trust me okay." She smiled, then continued. "Tomorrow you and Liliiana will go to school together. Take care of your Elder sister."

I released my hands from.her and smiled. "Of course I will take care of her."

She smiled weirdly. "Um..um...Elena I have a little request."

I already knew what she wanted to ask. But I smiled sweetly. "Yes, you can always ask anything, Mother."

She had the kindest face on. "Elena, you know you are the top student. You already gained all the prestige in school. Everyone respects you. But from now on, I want that attention to be on your sister. Always help her in question and reduce your...your..u.m..um. your smartness. You know what I meant right? So people can also see your sister."

I scoffed inwardly. "I get you mother. You want me to reduce my light and help Liliana shine more in school."

She shook her head. "No..no..not exactly. I just don't want people looking down on your sister because she grew up with rogues. I want your sister to win the award of Best fighter in the school. So you shouldn't partake in the competition. And let your sister win...I know you can pull some strings for her." She patted the back of my palm. "If you do that, I will fully support your dream of learning with Humans to be a Doctor."

I smiled sweetly to her and said to myself, "Do you think I will still obey you in this life!! I will let you know I can be more cunning!!!! By this time she and Dominic already found out he was impotent. They will start planning to use me to cancel his marriage engagement with the Bloodmoon Alpha's daughter..."

I hugged her, "Mother, I will do that. I promise I will make her shine like me. Just don't fail me. I really want to learn how humans treat illness."

She pulled me away gently, I knew she was disgusted by my hug but pretending.

"Trust me Elena. I will do it for you." She reassured me.

Trust you? I will be stupid to ever trust you.

She turned to leave, and stopped. She turned back to me. "Why is your hair silver? Did you dye it?"

"What? My hair is silver?"

I rushed to the mirror. The tip of my hair was silver, while the middle was brown as usual.

"Why is the tip of my hair silver?" I turned to her but she had already left. I sighed and turned back to the mirror. "This never happened in my past life. Why is my hair color changing?"

"""""""""""""""""

THE NEXT DAY.

OUR driver dropped us at the front of the school gate. He came out and opened the door for Liliana and not for me. The special treatment for their real daughter has started. I smiled and opened the other side of the car door myself.

"Liliana," I called.

She stopped and turned back to me. "What is it? Trying to bully me? Do you think I am a weak girl like you? I am the real daughter of Alvarez..so be careful when you talk to me."

I shook my head. "How did this foolish girl kill me in my past life?"

I walked away, ignoring her.

She barked. "Yeah!!! Yeah!! I am talking to you!. I have the real blood of Alvarez, you are nothing but an orphan my parents picked up!!!"

Liliana got to our classroom. I was at her front but she pulled me back.

"I will enter the class first. You will announce to them that I am the real daughter of Alvarez and not you. Tell them you are an orphan!! Do you hear me clearly?" she yelled.

I nodded and slipped behind her.

The moment she pushed the classroom door open..

A bucket of thick, black oil poured over Lilliana from head to toe.

She froze. Then screamed.

"Ahh! Who did this?!" she shrieked, flinging her bag across the room. "Why are you all bullying me? Do you know who I am?! I will have my mother kill every one of you!"

The entire class stared at her like she had lost her mind.

"Is she okay?" someone whispered.

"She sounds like a rogue who has never been to a school?" another muttered.

Lilliana's eyes snapped to a girl in the front row.

"Was it you?!" she snapped.

The girl didn't answer. Just stared at her..

Lilliana lunged forward, grabbing her hair.

I leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, laughing softly.

Lilliana, you are nothing without me!! In our past life, I saved her from this but she went home and told our Mother Catherine that I was bullying her with other girls. Now I will let her experience the hardship of this school. She still doesn't know that in here nobody cares about Your Alvarez real blood!!

Let's see how you survive without me, dear Elder sister.

I turned to leave...And tripped.

My body tilted forward.. Straight into someone. A strong hand caught me.

I froze slowly... I looked up.

A man in a wheelchair! Sharp eyes but yet Cold. Watching me like he already knew everything.

My heart dropped when I stared at my hands that were placed nicely on his crotch.

"What are you doing Elena?" He asked coldly.

Elena's POV

"What are you doing, Elena?" he asked coldly.

I jumped away from him, almost falling flat.

"Miss Elena... what is going on?" his Gamma stepped forward, eyes sharp.

"Um... um... nothing," I stammered, my feet suddenly cold. My heart was screaming Uncle Cassian!! This was the second time we had met. His eyes still cold and scary. But how can this man that looks at me coldly actually came out to save me. How? And Why? I never believed he would come out for me.

Before I could think...

The classroom door burst open.

"Elena!"

Lilliana stormed out, still dripping black oil, her hair a mess, her eyes blazing with fury.

She grabbed my wrist hard.

"It was her!" she shouted, dragging me forward. "She set me up! She told them to do it!"

My breath hitched. "I didn't..."

"Shut up!" she snapped, tightening her grip painfully. "You have always been jealous of me!"

The hallway was suddenly filled with students whispering.

I tried to pull away. "Let go of me..."

"Miss Elena," the Gamma's voice cut in, firmer now. "Answer properly. What is going on? Why are you all so disorganized? Is this school now a playground?"

His voice echoed and I froze, My mind racing.

If I spoke wrong... everything would change.

"I..I.."

"Oh please, who are you to tell me what to do?" Lilliana scoffed loudly, flipping her soaked hair back. "Do you know who I am? I am the real Alvarez's daughter." Then her eyes landed on Uncle Cassian on the wheelchair.

Her lips curled. "And who is this?" she mocked. "The school now accepts crippled beggars? Take your crippled Master out of my sight!! I don't want to be in this same place with a cripple. Disgusting!!" She closed her nose.

The air went still, My heart dropped. Everyone stared in awe, pointing at her.

"Lilliana....stop!" I whispered sharply.

But she only laughed. "What? Did I lie?" she said louder. "Rolling around like that..."

"Enough." A voice sliced through the tension.

The teacher!! She stood at the hallway entrance, eyes dark with anger.

"What is going on here?" she demanded.

Lilliana instantly switched, her expression turning pitiful as she pointed at me.

"Miss, Elena bullied me and made the whole class attack me," she said, voice trembling.

My fists clenched. "You!!" I pointed at her.

She brought out her tongue, and smirked. "The Alvarez family supports this school so you can take care of me as the real daughter!! Not for....'

The teacher's gaze shifted to me, then to the oil, then to the silent students.

"Both of you," she said coldly. Completely ignoring the angry Lilliana. "My office. Now..."

My stomach dropped. Lilliana smirked slightly as she dragged me along.

I glanced back at Uncle Cassian. He was still watching me.

*Then shortly we arrived at her office.

Liliana pushed me away and rushed in.

"If you don't give me, a good answer. I will tell my parents to stop sponsoring this school. I am Alvarez's real daughter Lilliana if you don't know. Elena here is just an orphan my parents picked up.

I grabbed her arm. "Can you keep quiet?" I said in a pleading tone.

She Yanked her hands off. "Why? Why should I keep quiet? Aren't you a wild wolf my parents picked up. You should be glad that my parents are taking good care of you!!"

The teacher stared at her and at me.

She picked the telephone. "Hello Alpha Karen. Cancel the sponsorship from the Alvarez family. Send them back the money and resources sent. I don't want to see any Alvarez family in the Conference meeting."

She ended the call.

Lillana stared at me confused. But she burst out in anger. "What did she just say? Why is she disrespecting our family? Do you think canceling the sponsorship will affect us? My family will not care about your useless conference!! I will.tell my mum to get you fired!!!"

She kicked the chair in the office.

Teacher Lan turned to her. "You called the External Lecturer we struggled for a month to call in. You called him a crippled beggar? Somebody like you doesn't deserve to be in our school." Her voice rising. "For the sake of your sister's achievement in our school. You are suspended for 3 months!!"

She scoffs. "Suspended?" she screamed. "Who even cares about your school?!! I don't want to be in your useless school either!!!"

She picked her bag walking out.

Teacher Lan turned to me. "Elena. What about you leaving the Alvarez family? The only reason we give them face. It's because you are our Ace student here. They don't deserve the glory you bring for them. Our school and the organization is enough to sponsor you. Now that they have their daughter, you can end things with them."

I smiled at her. "Sister LAN. I know. Don't worry I will end things with them very soon."

She stared at me confused. "Really? Don't lie to me? You just said yesterday that you will support them forever because they gave you life."

I nodded. "I already paid them with a life."

******************

I got into the house and gave my bag to the maid standing outside. My mum rushed forward and slapped me.

She didn't ask me what had happened, but she struck first. Lilliana stood by her side with folded arms. I knew she would get home first to complain.

"Mother, what do you mean?" I asked, holding back tears.

"What do I mean? Why was it so hard for you to take care of your Elder sister? Why are you so wicked?" she pulled me tightly. "After everything we have done for you? Now you made your brother's struggle to go to waste. Your brother worked so hard to get your school to accept our sponsor. Do you know how he struggled for that spot?. Now your school has returned the sponsor! Do you think anybody in Orlando will do business with us anymore?"

I tried to hold her. "Mother please listen to me..it's not my fault. It's Lilli....."

Lilliana cut in sobbing. Her face pitiful as she rests her head on mother's shoulder. "Mum, it was my first day in school but she allowed the students to bully me. Mum, she doesn't care about our family!! She didn't even care that I was her sister. She made me look like a fool. Mother she..."

"It's okay Lilliana. I will punish her so next time she won't behave like this." Mother patted her back, her eyes filled with pity for her real daughter.

She smiled sweetly. "Mum, I know you love me the best."

Mrs Alvarez signals the guard. "Lock Elena in the Ancestral room for two days. No food and water until she realized her mistake."
