Chapter 2 A Second Chance In Life
- Chapter 2
- (Libianca's POV)
- A SECOND CHANCE IN LIFE
- Days passed since I woke up in this body. I had come to terms with what happened to me. I died as Libianca Dolce and was reborn as Zina Donovan who probably died the same moment I died because the time frame of the two incidents match.
- I was reborn far away from my former pack on the other side of the world. I didn't have much information about this current body because unlike most cases of rebirth you hear of, I have no memories of the past owner.
- The only source of information I had was from the boy who was by my bedside when I woke up, Alexei Donovan. He claims to be Zina's younger brother. Even though I can't remember anything I choose to believe him. He was the only one who cared about my condition and he does have an unmistakable resemblance with Zina.
- The door was pushed open and Alexei came into the room which he called our home. It was a small house with one room, toilet, bathroom and kitchen. The only ones who lived here were the both of us.
- "Zina I am back." He chimed when he came in and walked to my side. He was carrying a bag that contained herbs which he had been using to treat me.
- "Welcome." I managed to say. My throat is a little better now due to the treatment I received from Alexei care. According to him the reason I was in this condition was because I attempted suicide by poisoning myself.
- "Are you feeling anything better today?" He asked me looking exhausted. He was still a student and attended the local school in the pack. Even though he never says anything, I know he is having a hard time at school because he always comes back home very late and beaten up. Despite that, he always smiles brightly around me.
- "Yes I can walk longer distances now but my throat still aches whenever I talk," I replied.
- "You went out for a walk today. Did you run into anyone?" Alexei casually replied while preparing some medicine for me.
- "I didn't." I couldn't run into people because this house seemed desolate from the pack. I was curious what was Alexei's and Zina's stories. I could feel Alexei was an alpha but why was his living condition this bad? Zina was 20 years old while Alexei was 15 years old. Exactly like my past life, I was still Wolfless because a wolf is part of your soul and not your body.
- I told Alexei that I lost my memories and he was cool with it. I know he was curious why he could not feel Zina's wolf again but he has been avoiding the conversation about her past and why she attempted suicide. Every time I asked he would push it away.
- "Here is your medicine. I am going to the bathroom to change my clothes." He gave me a bowl of crudely made liquid.
- I drank the bowl and waited for him to come back after that he made dinner for us. I wanted to help but he refused saying I was still a patient. Now I look at it Zina and Alexei were very good looking and Alexei had a mistaken strong presence of an alpha. We were enjoying our meal when Alexei suddenly stood up with a frown on his face.
- I was confused why his mood suddenly changed but before I could ask him why, there was a loud sound of knocking on the door and it seemed like a crowd was outside.
- "Alexei we know you are in there. Open the door." Someone announced. ' please don't make a sound.' Alexei instructed me heading for the door. I might be Wolfless but since we were blood-related we can mind linking each other.
- He went to the door to answer the visitors, he stood at the opening to prevent them from seeing inside. "What do you want?" He asked them with a stoic expression.
- "Alexei move aside. We were ordered by the Alpha to search for your sister." The man who seemed like a warrior stated.
- "Zina is dead. So how can she be here? Maybe you should check the graveyard." Alexei indifferently replied.
- "It was reported that she was seen around here. Please move aside and Don't defy the alpha's instructions." I was surprised why were they looking for me, was this why Alexei said I shouldn't make a sound?
- "No one else is here. where did you hear such a rumour from." Alexei sneered.
- "Then why have you been stealing herbs from the healer?" The warrior scoffed at Alexei who clenched his fist because he had been caught.
- Alexei refused to bulge despite the warning and a fight broke out. Despite him carrying an alpha lineage. He was still an inexperienced teenager so the warriors were able to subjugate and broke into the house.
- Everything happened quickly before I knew it we were both manhandled and brought to the main pack house where the alpha was resident.
- The moment I was dragged into the house my head started aching because everything seemed familiar to me. Memories that were strange to me started filling my head but it seemed like I experienced them first hand.
- A single tear ran down my eyes when everything became clear to me. How can one person be unlucky twice in life? The memories of Zina answered all the questions I had in mind.
- Zina was nothing but a fallen princess, the daughter of the former alpha of this pack. She lost both of her parents in a mysterious rogue attack where they were burnt to death. The next Alpha in line Alexei was just a boy of five years old. So their aunt seized the opportunity to grab the power for herself.
- Her aunty rose to the position of the Luna while her mate who was the pack beta became the alpha. The Blood Night pack had a rule that only the alpha lineage could inherit the seat so the Luna being of that lineage made everything seem legit.
- Zina and her brother were reduced to servants, an Alpha doing the job of an omega. Her aunty Melissa did everything to make their life a living hell alongside her only son Kayden who was now the heir.
- The sibling's lives have been filled with humiliation as those who adored them before now mock them. When Zina turned eighteen she left the pack house with her little brother to fend for themselves but things didn't get better as they were mocked no matter where they went. The siblings were called cursed because of the parent's death.
- The reason Alexei always came home beaten up was because their cousin Kayden made sure school was not the least enjoyable for him.
- "My favourite niece is here already. Why didn't you visit me when you recovered?" A woman with pitch black hair and sapphire blue eyes like the siblings chimed. I recognized her to be my very ' hospitable aunty' Melissa.
- She approached me and Alexei with her husband Ezekiel who was the present alpha by her side. I was filled with so much anger seeing her smile that I felt like pouncing on her but I was being restrained by the warriors.
- "Why are you glaring at me that way?" She asked. "You have no right to be angry when your childish act almost jeopardizes the entire pack." She barked at me.
- " Jeopardize the pack that is a fancy way to say your plans failed." I spat at her which earned me a slap.
- "How dare you!" Alexei barked when Melissa slapped me. He wanted to break out of his restraint but was quickly knocked out.
- "That boy is still as annoying as ever. I only keep him around because he still has some use." Melissa sneered staring at Alexei.
- "Zina you are the daughter of the last alpha and still a member of the family. So you must serve the pack at times like this." Melissa gave me a self-righteous speech.
- Melissa was all worked up because her plans to give me out as a slave to the Lycan lord pack almost failed. The previous owner of the body committed suicide due to depression from her sad life that became unbearable when Melissa decided to exchange her for a peace treaty with the Lycan lord. Being sent to the brutal Lycan lord was as good as being given a death sentence.
- My last life was already bad why did the moon goddess have to put me in a difficult situation like this?
- "Send the boy to the cells, he has to pay for the herbs he sold. As for Zina take her away to get ready to be presented to the Lycan lord," Melissa instructed the warriors.
- My eyes shot out, according to Zina's memories the Lycan lord was scheduled to arriv
- e today for the treaty negotiation. I knew the Lycan lord not only from Zina's memories but also from my past life. He was lord over 60 percent of werewolves packs with a reputation of a ruthless tyrant.
