00:00My sister and I saved the Alpha Air from the pack.
00:03He offered us a reward, $30 million or marrying his only son.
00:07His son was a mystery.
00:08He had never appeared in public, and rumors said he was hideously ugly and impotent.
00:13My sister begged me to marry him, but she didn't know that the Alpha Air was actually the hottest guy
00:18on campus.
00:19The captain of the hockey team, after we got married, he was always thoughtful and caring.
00:23He showered me with expensive jewelry and all kinds of luxury gifts.
00:26Meanwhile, my sister gambled away her $30 million at casinos.
00:31When she couldn't pay off her debts, her creditors slashed her face with a silver blade.
00:35She blamed it on me.
00:36Then she pushed me off a rooftop, but she lost her balance and fell with me.
00:40When I opened my eyes again, we were both back on the day we saved the Alpha.
00:44This time, my sister jumped in before I could speak and chose the Alpha Air.
00:48I smiled.
00:49$30 million was way better than spending the rest of my life with a psychopath.
00:54Alpha, I choose to marry your son!
00:56Chloe blurted out before anyone else could speak.
00:59She was trembling with excitement.
01:00Her eyes shined with greed and anticipation.
01:03I pressed my lips together.
01:05It seemed Chloe had recovered her memories as well.
01:08Victor Blackwood didn't answer immediately.
01:10Instead, he turned to me.
01:11He carried a warm, fatherly smile.
01:13Sylvia, you're the elder sister.
01:15You choose first.
01:16Just as I expected.
01:18To him, I was a quiet, obedient, Omega easy to control.
01:21Chloe, on the other hand, was outgoing, impulsive, hardly the ideal choice for his son.
01:26Chloe grabbed my wrist.
01:28Her nails dug into my skin as she shot me a warning look.
01:31Sylvia, you've heard the rumors too, haven't you?
01:33His son is ugly and they say he's impotent.
01:36I don't want to see you trapped in an unhappy marriage for the rest of your life.
01:39Let me be his mate instead.
01:41I was ecstatic about her words, but I forced a worried expression.
01:45Are you sure?
01:46What if you regret it someday?
01:48Absolutely not!
01:50I know I haven't always been the best sister to you, but that'll change.
01:54I'll put in a good word for you with mom and dad, and things will be different between us.
01:58I smiled meaningfully.
02:00All right, Chloe.
02:01Just remember what you said today.
02:03Then I turned to Victor Blackwood.
02:05Alpha, I'll take the $30 million.
02:07A flash of disappointment crossed his eyes.
02:10Chloe could barely hide her excitement.
02:11Her whole body trembled with joy.
02:14She was probably already imagining her future as the next Luna.
02:17An Alpha who would belong only to her, along with status, wealth, and endless luxury.
02:22She hurried to Victor's side, acting so sweet and obedient that she seemed like a completely different person.
02:28Alpha, don't worry.
02:29I've never been with anyone before.
02:32I'm saving myself for my future husband.
02:35And I'll do everything I can to help Adrian manage the Blackwood pack.
02:39If I ever make mistakes, please tell me.
02:42I'll work hard to improve.
02:44After listening to her flattering speech, Victor finally smiled.
02:47Good.
02:48Victor nodded.
02:49I'm sure Adrian will be pleased to hear that.
02:51He paused for a moment.
02:52But there's one rule in the Blackwood pack that you must never forget.
02:55Once my son marks you, this chosen bond can never be broken.
03:00No rejection.
03:01The bond lasts until death.
03:03Chloe's smile only grew wider.
03:05To her, it sounded like a promise of status and wealth.
03:07She nodded eagerly.
03:09Of course.
03:10I'll never leave him.
03:12I lowered my gaze.
03:13A mocking smile tugging at my lips.
03:16Victor made the rule sound romantic.
03:18But I knew what he really meant.
03:20Adrian had never found his true mate.
03:22What Victor wanted wasn't a faded Luna.
03:24He wanted a chosen Luna.
03:26One who couldn't run away.
03:27One he could keep under control.
03:29In my last life, Victor had never bothered explaining this rule to me.
03:33He knew he didn't need to.
03:34I cared too much about my family.
03:36Just threatening my parents was enough to make me give in.
03:39As for Chloe, she didn't need threats.
03:43Money and power were all it took.
03:45Greedy, selfish Chloe and the monster Adrian were a match made in heaven.
03:49The moment Chloe got home, she couldn't wait to share her big news.
03:52Dad!
03:53Mom!
03:54I'm marrying Adrian, Blackwood packs Alpha Air.
03:57I'm going to be the future Luna!
03:59Martin practically jumped off the couch.
04:01Chloe, are you serious?
04:02You're not joking, are you?
04:04Elena pointed at the news report playing on the television.
04:06A story about the Blackwood Consortium donating $130 million to Silverport University.
04:12The Blackwoods?
04:13You mean those Blackwoods?
04:15Who else would I be talking about?
04:17Adrian is the most popular guy at our university.
04:19You saw him at my graduation, remember?
04:21He's handsome, kind, and he is also the captain of the hockey team.
04:24Girls are obsessed with him.
04:25I never imagined he was the Alpha Air all along.
04:27The Alpha already set a date.
04:28The marking ceremony will be held on the next full moon.
04:31You're looking at the future Luna of the Blackwood pack.
04:34Elena's eyes instantly turned red with excitement.
04:37Martin rushed into the kitchen to pour drinks, bustling around like a servant attending royalty.
04:41While Elena massaged Chloe's shoulders, she swallowed nervously.
04:45$130 million.
04:47They must be unbelievably rich.
04:49They're insanely rich.
04:50The Blackwoods aren't just the strongest pack on the West Coast.
04:53They own companies in all kinds of industries.
04:56Semiconductors, luxury brands, biotech.
04:59They make money from everything.
05:01And they have a rule.
05:02Once you're bonded, you're bonded for life.
05:04I sat quietly watching Chloe beam.
05:06I could practically feel how happy she was.
05:09The Blackwoods were rich.
05:10But everything came with a price.
05:12Chloe didn't know the Blackwood Consortium's $130 million donation wasn't an act of generosity.
05:17It was hush money.
05:19Adrian had played a part in a young Omega girl's death.
05:22Victor had spent a fortune to bury the scandal and make sure everyone involved stayed silent.
05:27And the marking ceremony scheduled for two weeks later wasn't because of some auspicious full moon.
05:32A grand ceremony made it easier to hide ugly truths.
05:36Elena quickly realized something.
05:39If Chloe is marrying the alpha hair, then what did Sylvia get?
05:42Just $30 million.
05:43Martin and Elena's eyes immediately lit up.
05:45They exchanged excited looks.
05:47Sylvia, that's a lot of money for an Omega.
05:50Why don't you put it in the family account?
05:52You can always use it whenever you need.
05:53I almost laughed.
05:55Despite our different choices, they still favored Chloe.
05:58In my last life, Chloe had taken the $30 million.
06:01More parents told her to spend the money however she wanted, dress herself up, and find a better mate.
06:07Then they came to me for money.
06:09Their excuses never changed.
06:11Chloe was younger.
06:12Yes, by exactly one minute, she was sweeter, more charming.
06:16She is their favorite growing up.
06:18Her allowance was always twice mine.
06:20I was even expected to spend my own money buying things for her.
06:23No matter how much I achieved, they only showed up for Chloe.
06:27And whenever we argued, they never bothered asking what happened.
06:30The answer was always the same.
06:32I was the older sister.
06:34Yes, I was.
06:34I was older than Chloe by exactly one minute.
06:38Dad, Mom, I can't put that money in the family account.
06:41Because that money was meant for me only.
06:43I don't think the Alpha would be happy if he found out I shared it with someone else.
06:47And when Chloe marries into the Blackwood pack, people will think less of her for it.
06:51That immediately got their attention.
06:54Martin and Elena exchanged uneasy looks.
06:56Even Chloe froze for a second.
06:59Forget it.
07:00It's only $30 million.
07:02She lifted her chin.
07:04Mom, Dad, let her keep it.
07:07Once Adrian and I are bonded, $30 million will be nothing to us.
07:11Then her gaze shifted to me.
07:13A cold glint flashed across her eyes.
07:15But you have to promise me something.
07:17I raised an eyebrow.
07:19What is it?
07:20Stay away from Adrian.
07:21She crossed her arms.
07:24And you're not living here anymore.
07:25So she was worried Adrian might fall for the quiet, obedient Omega.
07:30I almost laughed.
07:31That sounded perfect to me.
07:33Sure.
07:34I smiled.
07:36I'll pack my things right now.
07:38I won't come back unless I have to.
07:40My smile widened.
07:42And while we're at it, congratulations in advance.
07:44I hope you and Adrian have a wonderful marriage and lots of pups.
07:47Chloe looked pleased with my response.
07:49Good.
07:50Sylvia, be good like this.
07:52And I might let you meet Adrian's friends.
07:54I didn't bother replying.
07:55I knew his friends better than she did.
07:57Not a single one of them was good.
07:59Ten minutes later, I had...
