I lived through this in my past life.
Now it’s your turn.
Daniel was my last visit.
I hadn’t planned to see him.
Sarah was my eternal enemy, Michael bound by blood.
But Daniel?
Once my love for him died, we had nothing left.
Yet he requested to see me through the Alpha Council.
So here we sat, separated by silver–infused barriers.
He stared at me in silence.
As I stood impatiently: “What do you want?”
it wasn’t supposed to be like this.”
His voice came low. “The pack should have been mine. We should be marked as mates.”
I froze, turning back.
His dark eyes held something unreadable, almost like the Daniel from my past life.
Only the scar on his forehead marked the difference.
I laughed at the absurdity:
“Just mates? Why not tell the whole story? You used me to gain pack power, then helped Michael kill me.‘
“But.. much later, I regretted it.”
His voice cracked. “You never knew.”
“I wished so much you could know…”
Ridiculous.
Pathetic.
“Of course I didn’t know. I was dead.”

I leaned against the barrier, meeting his eyes.
“Even if I knew, who wants your regret?”
“This time, I won. You’re the one cast into darkness.”
“Daniel, you earned this fate.”
Winter came early that year.
Night had fallen when I left the holding cells.
Katherine sent a pack message – she’d leave for Europe after the moon festival, starting new research
I wished her well through our bond.
Emma’s voice came next through pack links, demanding I join the victory feast.
I sent back warm agreement.
Outside my car, the crescent moon hung high, piercing the dark sky.
When this night passed, when the moon set…
My sun would rise again.
