Short filmTranscript
00:00My sister and I saved the Alpha Air Rocker Pack.
00:03He offered us a reward, $30 million or marrying his only son.
00:07His son was a mystery.
00:09He 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
00:17the hottest guy on campus, a captain of the hockey team.
00:20After 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?
01:34His 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.
02:00Alright, Chloe, just 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.
02:12Her whole body trembled with joy.
02:13She 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.
03:04To her, it sounded like a promise of status and wealth.
03:08She 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.
03:32He 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! Mom!
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.
04:32You'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.
04:47They 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.
05:00And 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.
05:18It 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.
05:38If 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.
06:02Her parents told her to spend the money however she wanted,
06:05dress 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.
06:14She 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.
06:35I 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.
08:0010 minutes later.
08:01I had everything packed into one suitcase.
08:03A few changes of clothes, my laptop.
08:06And a bank card with $30 million.
08:08I dragged my suitcase out the front door without looking back.
08:11The second I got into my Uber, I burst out laughing.
08:14From now on, no more jealous little sister trying to ruin my life.
08:18No sadistic alpha heir.
08:20And no parents who always put Chloe first.
08:22I'd never been this happy in my life.
08:24Even the sky over Silverport looked bluer than usual.
08:27With $30 million in my account.
08:29The first thing I did was buy a fully furnished apartment downtown.
08:33Pack Warriors guarded it 24-7.
08:35And the whole building was under tight security.
08:38For the first time in my life, no one could walk into my room and touch my things without my
08:42permission.
08:43Over the next few months I focused on building my future.
08:46Mostly that meant investing.
08:48I'd always been interested in the stock market.
08:50In my last life, I would invest small portions of my allowance.
08:53I lost more often than not.
08:55But I learned which stocks would eventually rise.
08:58I also registered my own media company.
09:01By the time I finished choosing a site for my company, I received Chloe and Adrian's wedding invitations.
09:06The invitation itself looked like a work of art matte black handmade paper with gold embossed moon patterns along the
09:12edges.
09:13Chloe Video called me.
09:15Did you get the invitation?
09:16I smiled and held it up to the camera.
09:19Yeah, it's beautiful.
09:21Her eyes lit up with pride.
09:24Of course.
09:25I had them custom-made at one of the best atelier's in New York.
09:29Each one cost over $10,000.
09:31I deliberately looked impressed.
09:33Wow, that's a lot.
09:35She smiled even more smugly.
09:37Not really.
09:38Just a few million dollars.
09:39It's nothing for the Blackwoods.
09:41Did you see the card inside?
09:43Adrian wrote every name himself.
09:45Not only is he handsome, he's also very good at calligraphy.
09:49She leaned closer to the camera, grinning.
09:51So, sis?
09:53Do you regret not choosing Adrian back then?
09:55I ran my fingers over the silver lettering on the invitation, my smile deepening.
10:01Why would I?
10:02I'm glad you're happy.
10:04She let out a light scoff.
10:05You really are hopeless.
10:06I used to walk all over you, and I still do.
10:10Guess you're just meant to stay beneath me in both lifetimes.
10:13I pretended not to understand her.
10:14After a few more smug remarks, she finally ended the call, satisfied.
10:18My gaze lingered on the name written in ancient pack script.
10:21I knew that handwriting too well.
10:23Adrian had an attractive face and beautiful long-fingered hands.
10:26And those same hands, when used for cruelty, were just as unforgettable.
10:30In my past life, he was obsessed with practicing ancient pack calligraphy.
10:34He would force me onto the cold floor of his study, naked.
10:37And he traced characters across my skin with a pen dipped in silver ink.
10:41Each mark burned into my flesh like fire.
10:43The pain lingered for hours before it finally faded.
10:45He called it taming in Omega.
10:47Just a few fragments of that memory were enough to leave me drenched in cold sweat.
10:51Adrian was my nightmare.
10:52If I didn't face him, he would haunt me for the rest of my life.
10:55I took a deep breath and shifted my gaze to the computer screen.
10:58My stock account was all green.
11:003 million had turned into over 30 million.
11:03Altogether, it was a pretty large sum.
11:04I wouldn't have dared to imagine this before.
11:07But I'd done it, so why stop here?
11:08Why not go further and beat the Blackwoods?
11:10The Blackwood pack's marking ceremony was said to have cost 300 million dollars.
11:14Chloe's crown came from an ancient European Pax Luna.
11:17Her wedding gown was pure white silk, embroidered with silver wolf patterns.
11:21Adrian was dressed in a custom-tailored Italian suit.
11:24He carried such an overwhelming aura that most of the guests instinctively lowered their heads.
11:28It really was a perfect match, especially the moment he knelt on one knee,
11:32baring his neck as he swore his vow to Chloe.
11:35Chloe, I'll protect you for the rest of my life.
11:38You won't regret marrying me.
11:39Chloe was so moved, she was in tears, nodding hard.
11:42I believe you.
11:43Thunderous applause erupted from the crowd, and a few guests were moved to tears.
11:47Only Adrian's so-called friends were amused, mocking expressions.
11:50They were just like him, always running wild together.
11:53As long as they didn't harm the family's interests or challenge the alpha hare,
11:57their parents let them do whatever they wanted.
11:59It was just allowance money to them.
12:01After the ceremony, I met Adrian for the first time in this life.
12:04I stood in a corner with a glass of champagne, keeping my head lowered, but he still noticed me.
12:09He walked over with a glass of whiskey.
12:12You must be Chloe's sister.
12:13You weren't around when I visited her family before, so this is our first meeting, right?
12:17He leaned in slightly as if trying to catch my scent.
12:20I heard you're busy.
12:21Too busy to even attend family dinners?
12:23I had no choice but to look up at him.
12:25Those gray-blue eyes met mine smiling, but cold.
12:28His brows lifted slightly as if he had found something interesting.
12:30My hands clenched tightly.
12:32My nails dug into my palms.
12:33The pain helped me fight against the fear inside.
12:36His alpha aura pressed down on me.
12:37Not strong, but enough to make an omega's legs go weak.
12:40I forced out a stiff smile.
12:42Yeah, I've been busy with work.
12:44Adrian licked his lips, amused.
12:46Oh?
12:48What kind of work?
12:49Maybe I can help.
12:50His voice was low and dangerous like the start of a hunt.
12:53An alpha hare's help.
12:54Any other omega would have been flattered, but all it did was send a chill down my spine.
12:58My instincts screamed one word, run.
13:00Just then, Chloe stepped forward from the crowd, placing herself between us.
13:04I understood immediately.
13:05She was marking her territory.
13:08Adrian, the pack leaders are still waiting for us.
13:10Only then did Adrian let me go.
13:12His gaze lingered on me for a second longer.
13:14A meaningful smile curved his lips before he followed Chloe to other guests.
13:18I didn't dare stay any longer.
13:20I grabbed my bag and left.
13:22The day after the wedding, my parents invited Chloe and Adrian to a family dinner.
13:26I thought Chloe wouldn't want me back because she didn't want me to see Adrian again.
13:30But Elena called instead, her voice unusually urgent.
13:33That could only mean one thing.
13:35Adrian had stood her up.
13:36Then I said yes.
13:37The moment I changed into indoor slippers and stepped inside, I met Chloe's exhausted face.
13:42The bride who had been glowing just yesterday now looked drained.
13:45Dark circles sat under her eyes, and her bright eyes were bloodshot.
13:48There were bruises around her marking bite, far more violent than a normal bond mark.
13:52Her collar was pulled high, but I could still make out faint finger marks along her collarbone.
13:56I understood immediately, so Adrian had already gone too far last night.
14:00In my past life, it had at least taken him a month before he started abusing me.
14:04But then, I noticed the brand new Cartier bracelet on her wrist, and everything clicked.
14:09Adrian was generous when he wanted to be.
14:11He spent money freely on the women around him, but only on his terms.
14:15To him, Chloe was just a toy he could play with whenever he wanted, so it didn't matter
14:19that it was marking night.
14:20I deliberately widened my eyes in surprise.
14:22Chloe?
14:23What happened to you?
14:24Then I smiled, as if realizing something.
14:26Oh right, it was your marking night.
14:28No wonder you're a bit tired.
14:29Chloe said nothing.
14:30She just stared at me closely, studying my face as if trying to decide whether I was
14:35faking it.
14:35There was something strange in her eyes, like she was weighing whether she should say
14:39something to me.
14:40What is it?
14:41Why are you looking at me like that?
14:43Her voice was hoarse, probably from crying and begging all night.
14:46But Adrian was a psychopath.
14:48The more she cried, the more excited he got.
14:50The alpha heir's instincts had been twisted into a sadistic urge, and Omega's tears and
14:56fear were the best kind of aphrodisiac to him.
14:59After hesitating for a moment, she finally gave up.
15:02Sylvia, you...
15:03Never mind.
15:04Elena had cooked a full table of dishes, all Chloe's favorites.
15:08But Chloe only drank a few spoonfuls of cream soup.
15:11Even swallowing seemed difficult.
15:13Chloe, are you not feeling well?
15:15Martin asked.
15:17Chloe forced a smile.
15:18I had too much champagne yesterday.
15:20My throat's a bit sore.
15:23Elena quickly served her another bowl of soup, while Martin washed blueberries and strawberries
15:28for her.
15:29Chloe managed to eat a little more.
15:31I kept my head down as I ate, but my lips couldn't stop curling up.
15:35Last night, Adrian had been testing her obedience.
15:38He probably made her do plenty of humiliating things.
15:41He might make her kneel in the most submissive position.
15:44Expose her marking bite in front of his alpha friends.
15:47But that was only the beginning.
15:49It would only get worse from here.
15:51I had lived through those nightmares in my past life, being tied up and shared among his
15:56so-called friends, being hunted in wolf form on full moon nights for their amusement.
16:01But that still wasn't the worst of it.
16:03The worst was the basement.
16:04A soundproof room on the third underground level.
16:07I didn't want to think about what was inside.
16:09Devices specifically designed to torture Omegas.
16:12Some ordered from the black market.
16:14Others designed by Adrian himself.
16:17Chloe, is Adrian very busy?
16:20Why didn't he come back with you?
16:21Martin asked.
16:22The spoon in Chloe's hand trembled slightly.
16:24Yeah, he's busy with pack business.
16:27It's only the second day.
16:29He should at least come back for a dinner.
16:30How long could that take?
16:32Elena shot him a look.
16:33He's the alpha heir of the Blackwood pack.
16:35Of course he's busy.
16:36Do you think he's like you?
16:38A useless beta?
16:39Don't mind your father.
16:41As long as you're good with Adrian, that's all that matters.
16:45Chloe gave a vague response, clearly unwilling to talk about Adrian, and shifted the topic
16:50to me instead.
16:51Sylvia, what have you been doing these days?
16:54I took a sip of red wine before answering.
16:57Nothing.
16:58Just traveling around, went to Napa Valley for wine, then spent some time in Santa Monica.
17:02Chloe scoffed and raised her crocodile Birkin bag to show off.
17:05I like shopping too, but we are different.
17:08They clear the place for me every time.
17:10The entire rodeo drave knows me.
17:12Things that other people can't even get, I can buy as much as I want.
17:15The other day I spent over six million in just two hours.
17:19My goodness.
17:20Won't Adrian get angry if you spend that much?
17:23Chloe sneered.
17:25That little money?
17:27He doesn't care.
17:28He gave me an unlimited black card.
17:29I can spend whatever I want.
17:31I listened quietly, smiling just enough to look impressed.
17:35With Martin and Elena constantly praising her, she seemed to regain her confidence in this
17:40life with Adrian.
17:41Yes, she was being abused, but she had money.
17:45And if she could live a life everyone envied, that was enough for her.
17:49Dad, Mom, I'll take you to South Coast Plaza this afternoon.
17:52Buy whatever you like.
17:53Oh, Chloe, that's really sweet of you.
17:55That was clearly aimed at me.
17:58I smiled lightly.
17:59I'm not Chloe.
18:01She has the Blackwood family behind her and money that could last several lifetimes.
18:06I only had 30 million.
18:09And I bought a house and invested in a company.
18:12Sorry, Mom.
18:13There isn't much left.
18:14I have to be careful with it.
18:16Chloe pleased by the flattery.
18:17That's right.
18:18You'll just be living off that little money for the rest of your life.
18:21Dad, Mom, buy whatever you want.
18:24Dad wanted a new car, right?
18:26Porsche or Maserati, your choice.
18:28And Mom, you've wanted that Van Cleef necklace for a long time, haven't you?
18:32I'll get it for you.
18:33Martin and Elena immediately lit up, already excitedly discussing what to buy.
18:38Chloe lifted her chin like a proud peacock and looked at me.
18:41Sylvia, you're jealous of me, aren't you?
18:44I smiled meaningfully.
18:46Who wouldn't be?
18:48Every girl out there wishes she could be you, the future Luna of the Blackwood pack.
18:52Chloe said arrogantly.
18:54Let any woman try to take my alpha.
18:56I'll kill her.
18:57No one takes my place unless I'm dead.
19:00I curved my lips slightly.
19:02Then good luck, Chloe.
19:03I saw Chloe's shopping spree with Martin and Elena on social media.
19:07A Porsche Cayenne.
19:08A Patek Philippe.
19:09A diamond-studded bracelet.
19:11Three Hermes bags.
19:13At least $10 million were gone in a single afternoon.
19:16Chloe was going to pay for it tonight.
19:18Adrian's control over money was obsessive.
19:21In my past life, I had once spent just $20 on painkillers.
19:25And he locked me in the basement as punishment for an hour.
19:30And Chloe had burned through nearly $10 million in a day.
19:34I couldn't imagine what would happen to her.
19:37After enjoying Chloe's show, I got back to work.
19:40My media company began recruiting streamers and building content pipelines.
19:43In this era, Omega voices were rare.
19:46What I wanted to build was a platform where they could actually be heard.
19:49Once the company stabilized, I enrolled in a management course at Silverport Business School.
19:53From a complete beginner, I started learning how real management worked.
19:57Along the way, I met businessmen from other packs.
20:00And spent my free time discussing operations over coffee.
20:03Running a business wasn't easy.
20:05In the first month, I lost over $3 million.
20:07Fortunately, by the second month, I broke even and turned a small profit.
20:12At least things were finally on track.
20:14I hadn't spoken to my family in a long time.
20:17Until that day, I was at a routine networking event for a mid-tier pack circle.
20:22Playing golf at the Silverport Country Club.
20:24Just as I swung my club, I caught sight of Adrian.
20:29I lowered my cap slightly and saw him walk into the private course area with Chloe and a group of
20:33male alphas.
20:34Chloe wore a short dress, her makeup perfect like a carefully wrapped gift.
20:38But her posture was stiff.
20:39Anyone could tell she wasn't doing well.
20:41A few middle-aged beta men nearby let out low, vulgar laughs.
20:44Looks like the Blackwood Air brought his Omega out to entertain the boys again.
20:48Last time I passed by their VIPI room.
20:50Damn, that was something.
20:52Yeah, a properly marked chosen mate shared among the pack.
20:57She's worse off than an unmarked Omega.
21:00That's what you get with top-tier alphas.
21:02They play rough.
21:04I watched them disappear into another part of the course.
21:07In my past life, Adrian had tortured me in countless ways.
21:10But he never let his pack members touch me.
21:14This time, I didn't even see Chloe as a person anymore.
21:18Maybe she had spent so much of his money, he was bound to retaliate.
21:21And after being punished, Chloe would spend even more to soothe herself, only to trigger
21:26his punishment again.
21:28A vicious cycle.
21:30It was only a matter of time before it killed her.
21:33Still, Chloe was Chloe.
21:35She managed to get pregnant.
21:37The Blackwood pack valued heirs above all else.
21:40Their alpha bloodline was extremely rare.
21:42Each generation had only one direct successor.
21:44Victor had only Adrian.
21:46If Chloe gave birth to an alpha pup, her position would be temporarily secured.
21:50A few weeks later, her social media started updating again.
21:54Her face looked a little brighter.
21:55Her posts were still full of luxury.
21:57And occasionally, Adrian appeared, his hand resting on her shoulder, his expression soft
22:02and indulgent.
22:03A month later, Chloe called me to boast.
22:05Sylvia, the doctor confirmed it.
22:07It's a boy.
22:08Her voice was overflowing with pride.
22:11He'll inherit the Blackwood Empire.
22:13I won't just be Luna.
22:15I'll be the mother of the alpha.
22:17Congratulations.
22:18Is the baby healthy?
22:20Of course.
22:22The doctor mentioned something about an XY chromosome pattern.
22:25I didn't really catch it, but it just means he'll be stronger than average.
22:30That's my son.
22:31I almost laughed out loud.
22:32She really hadn't been paying attention.
22:34I've heard of that condition.
22:36It can sometimes come with aggressive tendencies.
22:39Chloe immediately snapped.
22:41Don't you dare curse my son.
22:43You're just jealous because you can't have Adrian's child while I can.
22:47I moved the phone slightly away from my ear.
22:50You're going to end up alone for the rest of your life.
22:52Don't expect a single cent from me in the future.
22:55She hung up.
22:56I shrugged and went back to my financial report.
22:59CY syndrome.
23:00In humans often shows increased impulsivity and aggression.
23:03But in werewolves, especially those with alpha bloodlines,
23:06the trade is amplified many times over.
23:08In simple terms, this child would likely inherit Adrian's violent tendencies,
23:12possibly even worse.
23:14And Chloe, as a marked chosen omega,
23:16would one day face the double suppression of two violent alphas.
23:20In my past life, there had been no child because I was the one who got pregnant,
23:24and I never got to keep mine.
23:26This time, fate had given Chloe a gift.
23:28Over the next few months, I poured all my energy into my company and investments.
23:33The media company finally started turning a profit.
23:36I signed over a dozen omega streamers.
23:39They made contents about lifestyle, legal education, and mental health.
23:45One creator focused on omega rights gained over half a million followers in just three months.
23:50Her comment section was filled with omegas sharing their experiences of being oppressed under PAC laws.
23:58On the stock market side, I remembered a major swing from my past life.
24:07A small biotech company called Helix Biotech was about to receive FDA approval for a new suppressant targeting omega heat
24:13cycles.
24:14Once the news broke, its stock price surged 80-fold.
24:18I bought heavily at the bottom.
24:20At the same time, investigative reports from a private firm continued to land on my desk.
24:26Blackwood Consortium's financial records over the past five years showed more than $20 million flowing into untraceable offshore accounts.
24:33Shell companies, fake charities, cross-border laundering.
24:37Every trail pointed to systematic tax evasion.
24:40That was only the beginning.
24:42The deeper problem lay elsewhere.
24:44The Blackwood family owned a soap called Private Recovery Facility on the East Coast.
24:49Officially, it was a high-end omega rehabilitation center.
24:53In reality, it was a detention site where omegas were abused.
24:56In my past life, I had once overheard Adrian and Victor discussing it.
25:00I had been so terrified I couldn't stop shaking.
25:03This time, I would turn it into their grave.
25:06But not yet.
25:07I needed more money, more leverage.
25:10Chloe gave birth to a baby boy weighing 7 pounds and 8 ounces.
25:14The Blackwood Pack held a grand naming ceremony.
25:17Blackstone Hills was covered in black and gold banners.
25:20Victor presided over the ceremony.
25:22The child was named Damien Blackwood.
25:25The Pack elders also held a succession ceremony for Adrian.
25:28He officially became the alpha of the Blackwood Pack.
25:31The internet was filled with congratulations.
25:33But I noticed one detail.
25:35All the photos from the ceremony showed Chloe sitting down.
25:39Not a single image showed her standing.
25:41Postpartum weakness.
25:43Or something else.
25:45I didn't dig further.
25:46It wasn't something I needed to focus on right now.
25:49After the child was born, Chloe social media's update became irregular.
25:54Sometimes she posted 5 or 6 updates a day photos of the baby.
25:57Luxury items.
25:59Everything carefully staged.
26:01Other times.
26:02She went silent for weeks.
26:04During those silent periods.
26:06I knew what was happening.
26:07I had lived through the same silence in my past life.
26:11I didn't want to remember it.
26:136 months later.
26:15My company's valuation crossed 100 million dollars.
26:19Helix Biotech's stock surged exactly as expected.
26:22I sold two-thirds of my position at the peak and made over 400 million in profit.
26:29Combined with income from my media company and other investments, my total assets were
26:34approaching 600 million dollars.
26:36No one knew who was behind Silverport's rising investment firm.
26:40I had buried my identity under three layers of offshore structures and two trust funds.
26:46In the business circles of the city, people only knew there was a mysterious private investor
26:51with an uncanny track record.
26:53Some own who never missed.
26:54Some speculated it was a retired alpha from an old pack.
26:58No one suspected it was a 24-year.
27:00Old Omega.
27:01During this time, Elena called me three times, each time subtly probing, asking if that money
27:07was still there, whether I had made any investments, or whether I wanted my father to take a look
27:12at things.
27:12The third time, I didn't pick up.
27:15Martin sent a message.
27:17Sylvia, your sister doesn't seem very happy lately.
27:20Have you heard from her?
27:21We've tried calling, but she won't answer.
27:23She isn't replying on social media either.
27:26I replied with three words.
27:27I don't know.
27:29They weren't unaware that something might have gone wrong with Chloe.
27:33They just didn't want to face the possibility of losing their Blackwood connection, or the
27:38wealth they were enjoying now.
