They called her a villainess long before she died. Manipulative. Jealous. Cruel. And maybe they were right. Because Allison Thomas spent her whole life trying to destroy the one person who had everything she didn’t—her sister. But the night her final scheme to ruin her sister's reputation failed, Allison died alone, betrayed by the very obsession that consumed her. Only… death wasn’t the end. She wakes up minutes before her death with one chance to rewrite her fate. Desperate to survive, Allison tries to escape the bloody future waiting for her. Instead, she makes an even bigger mistake. One dead woman. One ruined night. And two ruthless Lycan brothers thirsty for revenge. Ronan and Rowan Stormclaw are the most feared Lycans alive. Cold, powerful, savage, and utterly devoted to their mate Allison accidentally killed. When they wake beside Allison covered in the blood of their mate, they swear to make her suffer before they end her life. Now trapped in their castle, hated by everyone around her, Allison is forced to endure the same humiliation and cruelty she once inflicted on others. But the deeper the hatred grows, the more dangerous their obsession toward Allison becomes. Because the Lycan brothers should want her dead… So why can’t they stay away from her? ~••~•~••~ "Who the hell are you?" My eyes snap open at how cold the voice is. But I'm mesmerized by the face of the man in front of me. My gaze drops and my eyes pop. "So handsome," I say, smiling as my hand reaches out to feel those strong, powerful chest muscles. After dying from a gang rape in my past life… waking up like this makes me think I’ve already changed my fate. Before my fingers can make contact, a hand clamps around my throat. "Fucking start talking before I rip your head off!" Another man, just as hot as the first says. My eyes widen. I still ended up with two men, but I'm alive, and that's all that matters. But wait, this man, the way he’s strangling me… I look at the lethal expression on his face, and I'm immediately consumed by fear. He is going to kill me. No. They are going to kill me, it's written all over their faces. “Please… don't k-kill me…” I grip his arm to push him away when everything rushes back. I was reborn, I ran for my life, and ended up in this room? A woman tried to scream my whereabouts. I tried to stop her, but she resisted, and I hit her with… I sit up abruptly, only to cry out in pain. "Ahhh…! It hurts." "Where is our mate, slut?" The two Greek-god-looking men I’m sitting between demand, their expressions promising pain I will never forget. "Bathroom," I whisper, my heart racing, as I begin to recall what I've done. My hands tremble when I see the dried blood on them. I killed her… in my drugged, desperate state. Just then, my eyes move to the clothes scattered on the floor. There's a crest, Stormclaw Pack… They are the Lycan twins, and I've killed their mate. Oh, Goddess… you didn't give me a second chance just to… "Adelaide!" A growl tears through the bathroom, and I'm already reaching for anything I can cover myself with. I need to run. Because if they catch me… Death will be mercy. My fingers close around the doorknob. Locked.

In her previous life, she sacrificed everything for him. She helped him become the most powerful chancellor, but he still preferred her older sister whom he had a one night stand with. When her gentle husband took her life, she finally realized their romance was all a joke to him. Filled with hatred, moments before she died, Lu Xiang swore she would get her revenge on the people who hurt her... When she opened her eyes, she had returned to the year when she was fourteen. Although it was the same life she had previously lived, she now possessed a strong sense of vengeance. *** On a dark and windy night, Lu Xiang rescued the badly injured Chu Jinyan from his would-be assassinators. Lu Xiang's eyes glistened. "Well, well. You're someone from the royal family!" She dragged him to her house and hid him without saying another word. "There's a saying that one ought to offer their body to another after being rescued... Wait a second, I got it wrong. I think you're supposed to return the favor. Since I rescued you today, you have to agree to three of my requests in the future," Lu Xiang said. "Huh?" Chu Jinyan was confused. He hadn’t exactly wanted to be rescued... Later, Chu Jinyan patted his thigh and wagged his finger. "Come here, my beloved consort. You can hug my thighs." *** She's insidious and deceitful, while he's vile and shameless! Stranger A: Does that mean they're a match made in heaven? Stranger B: Yuck! That makes them a despicable couple!
