My sister Freya and I were both married to the most powerful Alpha twins in North America—Julian and Tristan. We were the Lunas of the Red Peak Conglomerate, living a life of glamour that others could only dream of. But it was all a facade. In my previous life, when I was five months pregnant, I was struck by a "Decay Curse" that targeted my bloodline, leaving me on the brink of death. My mate, Julian, ignored my desperate pleas, choosing instead to comfort a woman named Cassidy, who was supposedly on the run from her enemies. I contacted Julian through our mind-link ten times, but he only snapped impatiently: "Aurora, how many times are you going to pull this stunt for attention? Cassidy just saved us from a hostile takeover this morning, and she's exhausted from using her powers! As my Luna, instead of helping, you're just making things worse out of jealousy?" Cassidy was a woman he and Tristan had "rescued" during an overseas acquisition three months ago. The picture of delicate fragility, she claimed she could foresee business crises. Soon, she successfully "warned" them of several minor business risks. Julian and Tristan began to treat her like a treasure, trusting her completely. When my sister Freya brought her three-year-old son, Ronan, to visit me, she walked right into the moment the curse took hold. She rushed to protect me without a second thought. She and Ronan begged Tristan for help, but Tristan was even more callous. "The two of you are unbelievable. It's bad enough you're putting on this whole act just to drag us home, but now you're teaching a three-year-old pup to lie?" In the end, our enemies stormed our home. Three-year-old Ronan was brutally torn to shreds, and the pup in my womb was completely devoured by the curse. When I opened my eyes again, Freya and I had both returned to one hour before the tragedy. This time, Freya and I had only one thought: sever the mate bond.
