A Gift from the Goddess
Aria was the Luna of the Winter Mist pack, renowned for her achievements in war strategy. Her contribution was crucial in her pack becoming the most powerful in the entire country.
Everything in her life should be perfect.
...Except it wasn't.
In actuality, Aria's life was anything but successful. She was helpless to the whims of her abusive Alpha mate and his mistress. A mate who never loved her. As she watches their relationship grow, her options are to run away or die trying to keep her Luna position.
But this is not the story of how Aria sways his closed-off heart until he finally loves her.
No, this is the story of how Aria died.
So when she is faced with the opportunity to go back in time and try again... will she take it?
...Or is she fated to relive her mistakes all over again?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"...And if I refuse?" I asked hesitantly.
"Then you will remain in the Abyss, forever reliving your earthly memories."
My mind recalled the images that had just tormented me, showing me my death over and over again. I knew now she must have shown me that strategically so I had a taste of what my refusal would look like.
"Then I don't want to be Luna again... and I don't want to be Aleric's mate," I said, surprising even myself that I was bargaining with a Goddess. But I couldn't shake the feeling something seemed off.
"That is the fate I have chosen for you."
"Then I don't accept," I argued. "I think there is something you're not telling me. A reason why you need me to go back so badly."
She was silent, her silver eyes regarding me warily.
"...So I am correct," I said, taking her silence as confirmation.

Chapter: Book Two - Bonus Chapter - A Moonlit Knight“Rae... tell me what’s going on. Please.”I looked up into Kieran’s eyes as he begged me to tell him what I’d been so desperately avoiding since we met last year. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust him, because of course I did. It was just that I didn’t want to ruin what we had by dredging up things that happened in another life. I wanted to keep living a normal life for as long as possible.“Keiran....”It was getting harder to brush it off. According to him, I would sleep talk occasionally, plagued by a nightmare. Or I’d suddenly look off in a daze and be filled with so much sadness that it was strong enough for him to feel through the mate bond. Things that I’d sworn I’d already overcome years ago, but somehow they were coming back. I was running out of excuses and finally, tonight, it had come to a boiling point.I’d had another nightmare... and I’d spoken of killing his sister.He wanted answers, deservedly so. However, I didn’t want to collapse that dam just yet, releasing flood wate

Chapter: Book Two - EpilogueMy name was Rheyna Knight, one of the future Alphas of the Silver Mist council.Ten years had passed since I’d been reborn in this bizarre timeline. A world where war had never scarred the grounds I now called home. Here, there was no such thing as suppressors, nor did anyone dare call us ‘Devils’ to our face. I wasn’t sure how many from my generation even knew that term for us existed. Somehow, throughout all the years following Aria’s passing, everything had remained peaceful.There were tensions now and then, sure. As I had quickly learned, it was to be expected amongst our kind. Territories were still fought over, petty squabbles ensued... but never a war. Never anything like what had happened in the timeline I once knew. Where blood and ashes were all that remained of the place I’d been born.This was an era of peace. Where the Silver Mist was amongst the strongest, if not the strongest, pack throughout the territories. Rather than fight against us, most appealed to ally with us i

Chapter: Book Two - Ch.# 73“Rheyna... you’re here.”My eyes flew open and I found myself sitting at a white clothed table, the sound of live piano music playing as people chatted quietly. I looked around the room quickly, seeing that the place was elegant with beautiful furnishings... and realised that it was somewhere I had been before.I was at the Rose & Thorn, Keiran’s favourite restaurant.“What the... How am I...?”I quickly shot my eyes up to who had spoken and watched as a stunning woman with silver hair sat down at the table across from me.“Aria...?” I greeted numbly, my brain still trying to make sense of this all.But then I remembered.The dagger... the pain.I gasped at the air and brought a hand to my chest, as though I could still feel it embedded there, piercing into my chest. Only there was nothing. Nothing except the dress I’d once worn in this very establishment.“I’m dead,” I finally concluded, realising what this all meant.Aria just nodded her head and gave me a warm smile.“You fought we

Chapter: Book Two - Ch.# 72I had to convince Kieran to run. Maybe if he could make it to one of the human cities, he’d have a chance of surviving. Blending in amongst the millions of normal people. Nemesis would only be looking throughout the pack territories... right?“Rae... everything is going to be fine,” Clarissa then said, holding a hand to my cheek. “I’m going to take care of it.”“What...? What do you mean ‘take care of it’?”“I’m going to hand myself over to Nemesis,” she explained. “It’s the only way to protect you.”“NO,” I argued, pulling away from her angrily. “We’ll find a way to stop her. We always find a way to keep fighting. Together.”“It’s too late for that.”“Stop saying that! You don’t need to sacrifice yourself for me, Clarissa,” I pleaded. “I’ll... I’ll go with you. It was always meant to be the two of us who won this fight. Back then... during our argument, I never meant to hurt or deceive you... I was just desperately trying to do what I thought was right. But I... I should have spoken

Chapter: Book Two - Ch.# 71This needed to stop. Now. Even before stopping Clarissa. I knew there would be no coming back once the first blood was drawn.There was only one way to stop this. I just silently hoped I would be strong enough.And so I ran into the crowd, pushing my way to the centre as far as I could go until I locked eyes with Kieran. He must have sensed my presence, appearing surprised to see me, but I quickly turned away before I lost focus, squaring my body and tensing my chest.I needed time. Time to figure out what was happening. Time to check if Allison was still alive. Time to understand the severity of Clarissa’s presence. All of which I wasn’t going to be able to do whilst everyone was about to kill each other.So I did what anyone in my situation would do. What only I could.I took a deep breath and—.“*ENOUGH!*” I ordered, pouring everything into it. “*Everyone take a step back and don’t move*.”I watched as they all lowered their heads, their stances relaxing as they did what I said.

Chapter: Book Two - Ch.# 70It was as if the forest had come alive. The leaves shook... the grass swayed... the rocks vibrated... everything had a life of its own, a tinge of electricity in the very air around me.And in the centre of this ethereal vision, at the very epicentre of it all... was Clarissa.She floated above the water with her eyes closed, a light surrounding her so pure that it was as if it were coming from the moon above. Around her, her silver hair danced in the light, becoming a living halo that framed her face. No longer were there dark circles under her eyes, her cheeks so thin they were almost gaunt. She looked healthy. Healthier than I had ever seen her.She was the most beautiful creature, an otherworldly essence to her.But it was the sheer energy I could feel coming off of her that made me realise what I’d done. That I hadn’t simply saved her life or allowed her to transfer energy back into Selene’s corpse.No...I think… I think I’d somehow created a God.I couldn’t seem to move as I wa

The Alpha's Villainess
Obsessed with werewolf novels? So was Natalie Stewart, a typical 25 year old freelancing artist who spent majority of her spare time reading trashy werewolf books online. Over the years, she’d come across countless styles and variations of the classic tropes, enjoying every twist, heartbreak and steamy matebond moment the female leads would go through.
But as Natalie unfortunately meets an untimely death, dying in her very own kitchen during a home invasion, the last thing she expected was to wake up inside the body of someone completely new. Someone beautiful and entirely unrecognisable.
However, not everything is as perfect as the flawless stranger staring back at her in the mirror.
Because as Natalie comes to terms with her new body, it doesn’t take long for her to discover someone else. A girl with clear signs of mistreatment and neglect, her skin flushed with bruises that peek out from under her ragged clothes.
Looking at her, Natalie quickly realises she is no longer in the world she once knew. A place of modern luxuries and ordinary people. In fact, it’s far worse than she could have possibly imagined. Because she’s now trapped inside the last werewolf novel that she read.
But she’s not Aurora, the goddess-chosen white wolf girl of prophecy with magical powers. The one who will escape her painful enslavement, find her Alpha King second-chance mate, and overcome obstacles to prove their love for each other.
No... she has woken up in the body of Scarlett.
The villainess who will get in her way.... and one who won’t live to see the end of the book.

Chapter: Chapter Forty-TwoAfter leaving the meeting with Dominic, Scarlett managed to find a cheap inn for us to stay at, albeit it was probably the sketchiest looking one in the entire Capital. Using all of the money I had – money I had worked for, not her – she secured a room for the next four days. Somewhere for us to wait out the time until we left.She was thinking of which packs we could go to, the benefit of some over others. Unlike me, she had decent knowledge of many of the territories in the empire and was considering factors about them that I wouldn’t have been able to ascertain from the books I’d borrowed. Things like their reputation and how likely they were to be visited by the royals. Both important when it came to living a new life undetected.I’d assumed she would take some time to relax at the inn once we arrived, maybe get her bearings as we finally had a moment to breathe. But, instead, she immediately left after paying and began walking off somewhere.*‘We shouldn’t be walking around during

Chapter: Chapter Forty-One“Who is it?” came a gruff voice from the other side.“Scarlett Azalea,” she answered. “Here to see Dominic Vale.”There was silence for roughly two minutes, making me anxious that they were just going to leave us on their doorstep without saying anything further. But before I could speak up my concerns to Scarlett, the sound of several metal latches unlocking was heard and the door then swung open.It made me wonder why they needed so many locks.“No faith,” she muttered under her breath to me, but I could sense she had also been a little worried despite her big talk.On the other side of the door, a shady looking man with several scars ushered us forward into a dark room I definitely didn’t want to go into. “This way,” he said.And Scarlett followed after him.As we proceeded to walk down a long corridor, I noticed how every room we passed by had the door closed. There were strange, muffled noises behind some of them, but my gut was telling me that I didn’t want to focus too hard on w

Chapter: Chapter Forty***Author Note***: To my knowledge, the formatting options I've used (like italics, bold, etc) do not show up on the GoodNovel app. To make it easier to follow which dialogue lines are being said internally (opposed to ones spoken aloud), I've marked the parts between asterisks ( * ). Hope this helps :)~~~~~~~. I stopped breathing the second I heard her, wondering if I’d simply imagined it.Even simply thinking about it seemed impossible. Surely, I must have misheard or been mistaken.Because there was no way. No possible way that....*‘You’re not the one who should be feeling afraid right now – I am,’* Scarlett’s voice continued.“You’re dead,” I answered aloud. “You drowned in the lake.

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-Nine“Do you think we could have been happy together?” I continued. “Would you have given me a chance?”He was silent at my question, confusion flashing across his features. But internally, I felt sick. I regretted asking the second I’d said it aloud. It was only going to inflict more pain, of which I could have easily avoided had I left it alone....And I was soon proven right.His confusion quickly turned into irritation, moving his body to fall back down onto the couch as if he couldn’t even be bothered to look at me anymore.“Why ask such a pointless question?” he replied sharply, his wall immediately going back up. It had been harsh but, after a second, he then sighed and sounded more exhausted than he had the entire conversation. “Just... go to sleep, Scarlett,” was all he said.My hand tightened on the doorhandle, the wind being knocked out of me as I heard the response I’d expected. It had been stupid to even bring it up. We’d already both made up our minds that breaking the matebo

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-EightIt was a stir some hours later that woke me. The tiniest bit of movement, but enough that my head immediately shot up, worried that I’d overstayed too long. I’d planned to leave before Alistair recovered, before he could see how close I’d been sitting next to him for the hours he’d been healing... but having fallen into a deep sleep myself, I hadn’t realised how much time had passed.I quickly looked towards his face, checking to see if he was awake, but my back went completely rigid upon what I found.It was his eyes. Staring down at me. Completely alert.I recoiled at first, expecting an onslaught of questions and aggression from him, but... something was different....He was different.His golden eyes were dark, a gaze that seemed more animalistic than human. They were... predatory and primal. Not an ounce of his usual coldness to be found as he watched me.I instantly knew then that he wasn’t in control. This was... whatever this book wanted to call it. His wolf. His beast side. T

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-SevenI pressed my hand back against where I thought the bleeding was coming from, hoping to apply some sort of pressure against the wound. But there was only so much I could do whilst I kept holding him. I wouldn’t be able to keep it up for very long.Realising this, I pulled his weight further across my shoulders, and began walking him back towards the tavern. If I didn’t get him inside soon, I knew I was going to end up dropping him in the dirt. It took every muscle in my body to accommodate his weight, but thankfully the adrenaline coursing through my veins from fear helped significantly.“Natalie?” Elliot’s voice then called out.I looked up and saw him jogging towards me. “Help,” I replied back through gritted teeth.“What’s going on? Who’s... wait, is that Alistair?”“He’s hurt. We need to get him help. Can you find a guard maybe? I think there should be some near the west gate.”Instead of immediately jumping to assist as I expected, he hesitated instead, looking Alistair up and down
