She Stole My Mate Again

My mother was a witch who once saved the life of the Alpha of SilverFang Pack.

After my mother passed away, Alpha Anderson found me and my sister.

He told us we could each marry one of his sons.

In my past life, Violet chose the Alpha's heir, Caleb Anderson.

But in the end, she was driven out of the Pack.

Reborn to the day Violet and I chose our husbands, I discovered I could hear people's thoughts.

I heard Violet think: "This time, I must steal the good husband first."

Then she hurriedly dragged away the gentle husband I married in my previous life.

And Caleb, who beat her every day in the past life, was left to me.

I smiled. Did she really think the man I married before had good character?

I was reborn to the day Violet and I were brought back to SilverFang Pack.

In the Pack's banquet hall, all important members gathered for a welcome ceremony held for us sisters.

Alpha Anderson stood on the elevated platform, his two sons standing on either side.

One was Caleb Anderson, Alpha Anderson's eldest son, cold by nature.

He had already been chosen as the Alpha's heir.

The other was Lucas Anderson, Alpha Anderson's second son, gentle by nature.

A perfectly measured smile hung on his face.

[This time, I must steal the good husband first.]

A female voice transmitted into my ears.

It was Violet's voice.

I gripped my skirt tightly.

Not only had I been reborn, but I could also hear people's thoughts.

And judging from these two sentences from Violet, she had also been reborn. Otherwise she couldn't possibly say such things.

Alpha Anderson's voice echoed in the hall: "...Violet, Lily, you may freely choose one of my sons to become your mate."

Violet immediately stepped forward. "Lucas looks gentle and kind. May I... may I choose him?"

After speaking, she secretly cast me a smug glance.

[This life, you can take the beatings for me.]

Her thoughts were crystal clear.

Alpha Anderson nodded and looked at me. "Lily, since Violet has already chosen Lucas, then you will marry Caleb."

I stepped forward with a smile. "Yes, Alpha. I quite admire Caleb as well."

I turned and stood beside him.

Caleb glanced down at me with no emotion whatsoever.

Then he looked away, as if I were merely air.

[What a beautiful little treasure.]

Lucas's voice came through.

I whipped my head around and saw Lucas gently supporting Violet.

A chill ran through my body, and I instinctively grabbed Caleb's hand hanging at his side.

His hand was large with prominent knuckles, and warmth transmitted through his skin, unexpectedly hot.

He glanced sideways at me but didn't pull his hand back.

Although this man looked quite intimidating, I felt that staying with him was better than staying with that hypocritical psycho Lucas.

In my past life, Violet had married Caleb.

As the Alpha's heir, Caleb was very capable and busy with Pack affairs all day long. I heard he was very cold toward his Mate... Violet sought him out repeatedly, but each time she was driven out of his room with injuries.

As for Lucas, although his status in the Pack was inferior to Caleb's, it was still enough to let me live comfortably in the Pack.

He accompanied me every day, taking care of me attentively, spoiling me to the bone.

Everyone in the Pack knew we had a good relationship.

And later, Caleb suddenly died from poisoning. Alpha Anderson suspected Violet did it and drove her out of the Pack.

Lucas then inherited the Alpha position.

My status in the Pack instantly skyrocketed.

Violet was jealous of me. When I went out, she drove into me, and we died together.

But she didn't know that Lucas wasn't what he appeared to be...

Lucas had always lived in his brother's shadow.

On the surface he pretended to be obedient and polite to everyone, but in reality he was a control freak and domestic abuser.

He was just very cleverhe never hit my face, so outsiders couldn't tell at all.

Every time he beat me savagely, he would then kneel down to apply medicine and beg my forgiveness.

I closed my eyes. The pain from my previous life was still so real and clear.

I shook my head, telling myself it was all in the past.

This life, I must change my originally tragic fate.

I want to control my own destiny, to be independent and not rely on anyone.

Violet and I held our wedding ceremonies together.

In my past life, we also held them at this same time.

Back then, Caleb didn't come to the ceremony, but Lucas arrived early in the morning.

Everyone said he was the more considerate husband.

But in this life, Caleb didn't miss the ceremony.

Although he just stood to the side with a cold expression, I breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, in the past life when Caleb didn't attend the ceremony, Violet suffered much gossip and strange looks.

But Violet looked somewhat frantic with rage.

During the ceremony she kept glaring at me with resentful eyes, thinking:

[Laugh all you want. I'll see if you can still laugh after getting beaten later.]

It wasn't until the end of the ceremony that Violet impatiently said to Lucas: "I love you, Lucas."

Then she kissed his lips. After the kiss, she stared at me with a showing-off look.

I knew she wanted to see me embarrassed.

But I wasn't stupid. I wouldn't act like she did in the past life and leave the scene in anger.

That made all the Pack members and Alpha Anderson present unhappy.

I remember everyone said Violet wasn't steady enough and didn't deserve to be the Pack's future Luna.

So much so that after marriage, Caleb never gave her a kind look, making her suffer terribly in the Pack.

I smiled graciously and didn't rush to show affection in front of Caleb.

Instead, I said to the members attending the ceremony:

"Thank you all for your hard work throughout this day. I extend my regards to everyone and hope you enjoy the ball that follows."

As soon as I spoke, the murmuring below ceased.

Alpha Anderson, seated in the place of honor, looked at me with newfound respect.

SilverFang Pack was the most powerful Pack on the continent, deeply concerned with face and reputation.

So as the mate of the Alpha's heir, one must show proper bearingnot just compete for a man's favor, but also care for the feelings of Pack members.

Violet also saw Alpha Anderson's gaze, and a flash of annoyance crossed her eyes.

[How disgusting. I'll definitely make you embarrass yourself later!]

I felt that being able to hear thoughts was really a good thing.

Having such a convenient ability made everything so much easier.

When it was time for the opening dance, I calmly lifted my skirt and walked toward the center of the dance floor.

Violet stared at me intently, counting in her mind [One, two, three.]

The next second, I directly sidestepped and reached out to grasp Caleb's hand.

And Violet, who had been rushing toward me with wine, fell hard to the ground, the wine soaking her entire body.

"Are you okay?"

Lucas hurried to help her up.

But in his mind he was criticizing: [What an idiot!]

Everyone was looking this way.

Alpha Anderson's face was full of anger.

"As the mate of the Alpha's son, how can you be so careless?"

"I'm... I'm sorry, Alpha Anderson. I didn't mean to."

Violet quickly apologized, but her eyes showed unwillingness.

If I were her, in this life I wouldn't make trouble againI'd just live peacefully.

But she didn't want me to have it easy, so naturally I wouldn't suffer in silence either.

Because Violet made a fool of herself, the ceremony ended hastily.

Alpha Anderson didn't give her a kind look from beginning to end.

But when looking at me, his eyes were full of approval.

Alpha Anderson even instructed Caleb: "You must treat her well."

Because of the Alpha's instruction, Caleb's attitude toward me indeed became much warmer.

That evening, Caleb actually returned to our bedroom.

He opened the door, his face showing fatigue from handling affairs.

In my past life, I heard from others in the Pack that Caleb didn't return on the wedding night.

Violet spent her wedding night alone in an empty room and was never marked by Caleb, becoming a laughingstock for everyone.

She went to complain to Alpha Anderson but got scolded instead, told she was incompetent and couldn't gain her own Mate's attention.

I hurried over.

"Caleb, you must be tired today."

He only nodded and didn't speak to me.

I wasn't angry.

While Caleb was showering, I made the bed for him and prepared calming tea.

Then I tidied up the sofa myself, preparing to sleep there alone.

When Caleb came out and saw this scene, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

I quickly said: "You sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the sofa."

"Lily, are you playing hard to get?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at me. Having just bathed, his chest was slightly exposed with water droplets clinging to it.

I had to admit, his physique was truly striking.

Worthy of being the Alpha's chosen heir.

I quickly looked away.

"No, we didn't have feelings for each other before. Sleeping together would be awkward for both of us."

"If possible, I'd like to cooperate with you."

"What do you mean?"

"I know you don't have feelings for me. I just want to live peacefully in the PackI don't expect love. So we can maintain our independent lives privately and only maintain appearances publicly. If you find your destined Mate, I can step aside for her."

Hearing my words, he suddenly smiled. "You're very smart."

"I was thinking the same thing. I can agree to this."

I only learned some herbal knowledge from my mother.

I didn't have the ability or confidence to control the heart of a future Alpha.

After all, in the Pack, the members' attitude toward me largely depended on the Alpha's attitude toward me.

I didn't want to end up like Violet in the past life, ostracized by everyone.

That wouldn't benefit me at all.

And clearly in the past life, there was intense conflict between him and Violet.

I didn't want to provoke him and repeat that mistake.

So I chose to coexist peacefully with him.

This life, I only wanted to control my own destiny and stand on my own two feet!

To maintain our public image of a harmonious relationship, I posted a photo of us together on social media.

When it was time to sleep, he really did sleep in the big bed, leaving me alone on the sofa.

He really didn't know how to be considerate. Well, I should be content.

The next morning, I was woken by the sound of Caleb's morning workout.

Early in the morning he was listening to music while doing high-intensity training.

Sweat had already soaked his black tank top, outlining his clearly defined abs and bulging arm muscles. His movements were fluid and full of explosive power, each punch and kick accompanied by the sound of cutting through air.

He had so much more strength than Lucas's thin frame.

"Stop staring. I'm not interested in you."

He suddenly spoke, ending his training.

"Get dressed. Come with me for breakfast."

His subtext was clear: appear together, put on a show for everyone.

Actually, I felt he was quite reasonable. Why did he have such conflict with Violet in the past life?

After getting ready, I went out with Caleb.

As soon as we left, I saw Violet and Lucas walking toward us hand in hand.

Violet wore an overly revealing dress, with marks all over her collarbone and shoulders. She deliberately leaned close to show me.

Her face was full of pride as she looked me up and down.

Seeing that I wore a long-sleeved dress that completely covered my arms and legs, she thought to herself, then smiled smugly.

[Wrapped up so tightly, she must have been beaten and is deliberately hiding the wounds.]

"Lily, how was last night? You didn't..." she deliberately inquired.

I noticed that Luna Anderson was approaching from the other end of the corridor at that moment.

This stern and serious noblewoman most detested improper dress and discussing private matters in public.

But I had no intention of warning her.

I just smiled.

"Violet, according to Pack hierarchy, you should give the Alpha heir's wife proper respect, not casually inquire about my private affairs."

Her face immediately darkened, and she bit her teeth in defiance. "Caleb never made such demands. What right do you have to demand this of me?"

Then she looked at Caleb.

"Caleb, say something."

I could feel the powerful, cold pressure from Caleb beside me spreading bit by bit.

Lucas cursed in his mind: [Damn idiot, see if I don't deal with you tonight!]

Then he tugged Violet's hand, signaling her to stop talking.

But she remained completely unaware of how serious the situation was.

Until Caleb spoke.
