< Chapter 1 : Severing Ties After Rebir … Menu ? Chapter 1 : Severing Ties After Rebirth I got perfect scores on my WAT ( Werewolf Apitute Test ) on purpose , just to create every miss with my six elder brothers . I chose a werewolf college in Full Moon Pack while they chose to stay in First Quarter Pack . When they transferred to First Quarter Pack , I applied to a graduate program overseas . On my adoptive sisters birthday party , my brothers indulged themselves in displays of affection towards her . Suddenly , their attention shifted to her , leaving me in the shadows of their favoritism . Instead of resorting to my usual tactics the petty jealousies and clinginess they were used to I silently boarded a plane to another pack . A lone wolf seeking its freedom . On the plane , a message from my eldest brother , the one whod always disliked me the most , popped up on my phone . * We waited for you all night . Why didnt you come ? * * They said you went abroad . Is it true ? * * Im sorry . We wont ignore you anymore . Please come home . * < Chapter 1 : Severing Ties After Rebir … Menu Their desperate pleas , their visible humility through the screen , stirred a fleeting , bitter emotion within me , quickly dismissed . The Packs calls meant nothing to me now . For days , I blocked one brother after another . Finally , I removed my SIM card , replacing it with a new one . The moment I inserted it , a final message arrived from across the ocean : * Lina , dont let us catch you . 11 * But they didnt know my secret : I was reborn . In my previous life , my parents , the alpha and luna of the FirstQuarter Pack , died in a car accident shortly after my birth .

Shes transformed from a nameless , ordinary omega into the adopted daughter of the Ashford family , one of the three top families in First Quarter Pack . Everything that should have been mine was divided in half , including my family . No one asked if I wanted this ; no one cared about my feelings . All they saw 13:36 0.7 % < Chapter 1 : Severing Ties After Rebir … Menu was a frail , unfortunate adopted omega sister who deserved special treatment . My eldest brother said , Sophies health isnt good . I hired a chef to make meals suitable for her . You must supervise her to make sure she eats properly . My Nathan added , Sophie wants to learn painting . Youre already quite advanced , so let her have the tutor . My third brother declared , Withdraw from the competition . Let Sophie , shes in second position , represent the school . Shes been preparing for so long . My Brandon insisted , Sophies academic performance are poor . Apply to the same university as her ; you can look out for each other . -And so on … I conceded repeatedly , only to receive what in return ? Sophie stole my graduation thesis , my Nathan testified against me , painting me as a plagiarist , leading to my expulsion . When she needed accolades for an international * 13:36 Chapter 1 : Severing Ties After Rebir … competition , my fourth , fifth , and Lucass anceremoniously kicked me off the team . Finally , fueled by Sophies vague accusations , I was cast out of the Ashford Family , left to wander the streets .

As I struggled , begging for help , they ignored me . Memories flooded back . I gave up , sinking to the bottom of the pool . I watched my brothers gather around Sophie , their wolves guarded around her to pretend my second harmful act . The searing pain of betrayal twisted my heart . My wolf howled < Chapter 1 : Severing Ties After Rebir … Menul inside : IT WAS PATHETIC . Shes right . Their adopted sister was worth more than their own flesh and blood sister . Yet it seemed my bloodline meant nothing in to face of Sophies words manipulations . Nathan , his eyes fixated on Sophie , only turned when he no longer heard my struggle . His face went pale . Lina ! He jumped in without hesitation , shifting to wolf , sleek and powerful . Sophie , a glint in her eyes , watched me sink . * Good riddance * , she seemed to think . Feigning weakness , she clutched my Brandons arm . Brandon , I should help her too . She fell in because of me . Its all my fault . I could help her if I werent a useless omega . My Brandon , Brandon , already worried , quickly reassured her . Dont be silly . Nathans got it ___covered . Linas suffering the consequences of her own actions ; she wont die ! He glanced at the pool , his expression complex . His wolf still guarded her faithfully , as if I would ever hurt her again when I was drowning .

He used his wolf to pressure me , forcing my obedience . But now he wanted to act nice ? This time , I didnt want his help . A cynical smile touched my lips ; I , with my wolfs help , pushed myself to the surface . In my past life , after the near drowning incident , Nathan forced me to take swimming lessons with Sophie . Traumatized , I still learned to swim to please him , but he only praised Sophies bravery . He never knew that the minute I was left in the water left me with serious psychological damage . No one cared . Nathans wolf , loyal to Sophie only , never saw my pain . His eyes only ever sought Sophie . Lina , what are you doing ? Do you think faking a near drowning will erase your mistake ? He blocked my path . He seemed to think I had changed . When had Lina learned to swim ? Tlooked at my Nathan , Nathan , the brother I had once loved the most . Alpha Derek , our big brother , was strict ; only Nathan had shown me any affection . But now his eyes held only disgust and impatience . Sophies soft voice cut through the air . Nathan , it wasnt Linas fault . I know shes never liked me being a part of the Ashford Family . I was greedy , hoping for a family in Pack .

If it werent for her father dying to save you , she wouldnt be an orphan ! He should never had saved you ! You ungrateful wretch ! We should have let you die ! Nathan frowned . Lina , be grateful . We should treat Sophie as our family member . We owe her . Especially you . Understand ? Nathan , someone as ungrateful as her wouldnt understand . She wouldnt have pushed Sophie into the water if she did . Saving a dog would have been better than saving her ! I felt a chilling isolation . The family mindlink had already add Sophie . I supposed the next step would be to kick me out . If I could , I would have preferred to stay at the bottom of the pool . Ignoring the burning pain in my lungs , I croaked , It was all my fault . It wont happen again . Because I would never do anything so foolish again . If they preferred Sophie as their sister , then I would leave . I would cut the bond before they do , away from family .

Nathan took a few steps , then turned back to see me standing there , soaked and pale . A flicker of softening in his eyes . Go change your clothes . The partys about to begin . I didnt answer , left alone to my own devices . I waited until they were all gone , before coughing violently , as if I would cough up my lungs . Swallowing the blood coming up in my throat , I managed to reach my room . This life , I would never have anything to do with the Ashford Family again ! Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
