Chapter 8
It was ironic, really. They were the ones who’d wronged me, yet in the end, it was I who was blamed,
When I thought about it, the bitterness of it all hit me-truly, it was the most ironic thing.
Three days later, Ursula and Paxton’s trial began.
Throughout the proceedings, they kept trying to twist the truth, endlessly making excuses and portraying themselves as
the victims.
“I was just impulsive… I didn’t think about the consequences. Now I know I was wrong,” Ursula sobbed, her voice shaking.
Paxton, on the other hand, sat there, staring at the ground, his words slow and stiff.
“I only wanted to help Ursula fulfill her wish. I never intended to harm anyone.”
I sat in the plaintiff’s seat, my face a mask of indifference, watching their pathetic performance.
But the werewolf judge wasn’t swayed by their fake remorse.
He slammed his gavel.
“Ursula, Paxton, for charges of defamation and framing, you are each sentenced to three years and four months in prison,
effective immediately.”
At the sound of the verdict, their faces drained of color. Ursula broke down in a fit of hysterical tears. Paxton’s parents in
the back started sobbing, their mouths filled with curses directed at me.
But I felt nothing but relief, a smile finally curling across my face-a smile that was genuine, the first one I’d felt since my
rebirth.
The law had finally given them the punishment they deserved. Justice had been served.
The grievances from my past life were now laid to rest.
A week after the trial, my application for the Alpha King warrior training program was accepted.
While packing my things, my parents stood nearby. Mom’s voice was thick with emotion as she spoke, fighting back
tears.
“Are you really going that far away?”
I didn’t answer her, continuing to pack. Dad sighed deeply, his voice heavy.
“Whatever you choose, we’ll support you.”
I glanced at their guilt-ridden faces, but my resolve remained unshaken.
I was certain-had it not been for the recordings that helped clear my name, they would have convicted me without a second thought and branded me their disgrace.

If I let their guilt soften me, if I pretended nothing happened, then what was the point of my second chance?
“If there’s nothing else, you can leave now. I need some time alone.”
Mom turned to leave, glancing back at me every few steps. I didn’t stop her, didn’t say a word of protest.
The next morning, just before dawn, my parents and Tristan were standing at my door.
Tristan took the suitcase from my hands.
“I’ll take you,” he said.
I had intended to refuse, but the weight of the suitcase was too much to handle, so I gave in.
In the car, Mom’s eyes were red, and she handed me a bank card.
“You’ll need it out there. The expenses will add up.”
I pushed it back toward her.
“I don’t need it. The Alpha’s allowance is more than enough.”
Dad placed it back in my hand with a soft sigh.
“Take it, June. Consider it our way of making things right.”
I wanted to refuse again, but when I saw the guilt in his eyes, I couldn’t bring myself to turn him down. I took it.
The plane slowly ascended, and the familiar city grew smaller beneath me.
I leaned back in my seat, my mind drifting back to the moment of my rebirth.
At that time, I thought revenge was all I’d ever want or need. But as the plane soared higher, I realized that life had more in
store for me.
The plane broke through the clouds, the sun pouring through the windows, bathing me in its light.
I closed my eyes for a moment, feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin. It was as if I had truly come back to life.
Ten hours later, the plane touched down.
I stepped into the unfamiliar land of the North, this strange werewolf realm. But I felt no fear. The wolves here were
friendly, strong, and full of integrity.
I quickly adapted to the training, and every time I caught the admiration in their eyes, a sense of accomplishment welled
up inside me.
As I gazed at the rising sun, I realized-maybe my life was just beginning, like the dawn breaking across the horizon.
There was so much time ahead of me, and the world was waiting for me to explore it.
