Reborn to Marry My Mate's Brother

Start Reading

Sebastian, the adoptive brother of Callum, heir to the Ash Pack Alpha, committed suicide.

After his death, pack guards found hundreds of photos of us together in his study.

On the back of each photo, carved in ancient wolf script, were the words MY LOVE.

So when I was reborn, and my father, the current Alpha of Raven Pack, asked me if I wanted to marry my childhood friend Callum,

I shook my head and chose to marry his adoptive brother instead.

I have a secretI've been reborn.

In my previous life, I chose to marry into Ash Pack, to marry Callum, with whom I had a twenty-year engagement.

On our third wedding anniversary, I ended my pack patrol early to surprise him.

I opened the door only to see condoms scattered all over the floor.

His lover Lillian leaned against Callum's chest, taunting me.

"In Callum's heart, you've never been his mate.

Only I can give him the ultimate pleasure. You should leave while you still can."

I lunged at her and we fought. She grabbed a silver blade coated with wolfsbane from the bedside and stabbed it deep into my chest.

The wolfsbane burned through my body. I used my last strength to scream at Callum to take me to the hospital.

He just looked at me coldly. "Don't kill the mood, Lucia. Deal with it yourself. We haven't finished our sex yet."

I was left alone on the cold stone floor, listening to the moans resuming in the room, until I completely lost consciousness.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to that afternoon when my parents asked about my marriage.

"Are you sure you want to marry Callum's adoptive brother Sebastian? Don't you love Callum?"

My father confirmed once more. I nodded. "I'm sure."

"Alright, as long as you're happy! Then I'll contact Sebastian right now to ask his intentions!"

After receiving a positive response, my father immediately turned to contact the wedding planning company and book the venue.

The phone rang soon after. It was Callum.

"Lucia, could you be any more pathetic?" His voice was full of mockery.

"I never agreed to marry you, yet you've already booked the ceremony venue?"

"Callum, the person I'm actually marrying is"

"I don't care what you want to say." He laughed coldly, interrupting me.

"Lillian is my destined mate. I'll only marry her. Stop pestering me."

He hung up. I put down my phone.

Fine. He'd soon find out the person I was marrying was his brother.

My family and Callum's were old allies. Sebastian was a beta adopted by Ash Pack, and we grew up together.

After we came of age, the pack leaders arranged a political marriage between Callum and me.

But in my previous life, Callum suddenly wanted to cancel the engagement, insisting on marrying his mate Lillian. I refused no matter what, and we had a huge fight.

Though I eventually married Callum with my twenty-year engagement backed by family pressure, he rarely came home after the wedding.

It wasn't until our third anniversary, when I caught him in bed with Lillian, that I understoodfrom beginning to end, he never wanted this family alliance. He only wanted his destined mate.

In the end, Lillian pierced my heart with a silver blade. I begged him to take me to the hospital,

But he told me to deal with it myself and continued having sex with Lillian, ultimately leaving me to die on the cold floor.

Callum didn't even attend my funeral. He took Lillian to a tropical island instead.

But after my death, Sebastian cried at my grave until he fainted from grief.

Three months later, Sebastian ended his life in his own study.

Guards found hundreds of my photos in his study, each with "MY LOVE" carved on the back.

My parents, overwhelmed with grief, both passed away within a year. With Raven Pack leaderless, all assets and territory fell into Callum's hands.

He and Lillian lived happily ever after.

In my previous life, because I clung to that marriage in name only, I died miserably and let down the one person who truly loved me.

I looked at Callum's photo on my phone and sneered inwardly.

Callum never knew until his death

that to maintain friendly relations between the two packs,

the Ash Pack Alpha had once promised my father

that whoever I married would become the next Ash Pack Alpha,

and I would forever be Ash Pack's most honored Luna.

Callum, I can't wait to see your anguished expression when you lose your power.

This life, I will protect the one who truly loves me.

After the wedding venue was confirmed, my father urged me to finalize the overall plan quickly.

To apologize for not being able to help me prepare for the wedding, Sebastian had someone deliver a black card from Geneva.

I made an appointment for a consultation at the planning company's uptown showroom.

When I arrived, I found Callum just walking out of the VIP room.

"Lucia?" Callum stopped, looking at me in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

I said softly,

"Finalizing the wedding plan."

"Lucia?" Callum's expression instantly turned cold. "Are there no other Alphas left in this world? Why do you have to cling to me? When did I ever say I'd marry you?"

I looked at him calmly and replied lightly,

"Callum, I told youI'm not marrying you."

His face darkened as he scoffed,

"You deliberately chose to come here on this day, and you still say you don't want to marry me?"

He glanced toward the VIP room, his eyes full of affection.

"I already told the pack last night to cancel the arranged marriage with you. Even if the whole family disagrees, I'm marrying Lillian! She's my destined mate!"

I smiled politely and said softly,

"Then congratulations to you both. I'm getting married to someone else soon too. Our engagement agreement is already void."

I gestured for Callum to move aside, but he stared at me intently, refusing to budge.

"Lucia, what game are you playing now? Besides this arranged marriage, who else could you marry?"

That's when Lillian walked out. She called out in surprise,

"Callum, what are you two doing?"

Callum immediately turned and quickly walked to Lillian's side, trying to hold her hand.

Lillian dodged slightly, and he immediately understood.

"I'll clean my hands right now. Wait for me!"

My eyes met Lillian's. Hers held unconcealed contempt and triumph.

Just then, planning director Emily rushed over.

"Miss Lillian, the wedding package you wanted to confirm has already been reserved. Please look at something else."

Lillian glared at Emily unhappily.

"My fianc is the heir to the Ash Pack Alphahe has power and influence!

He said I can book whichever package I want. He can afford it all!"

Then Lillian turned to look at me with malicious intent.

"Besides, even engagements can be canceled, let alone a reserved package."

Emily looked at me, almost in tears.

I didn't want to make things difficult for Emily, and sharing a package with them would be unlucky anyway.

I smiled at the staff indifferently.

"Emily," I took out the black card Sebastian gave me. "I remember you designed a private island wedding for Nordic royalty?"

"I want a similar plan, but don't repeat any elements."

Callum came out just in time to hear this. He looked at me coldly.

"Lucia, I told you the person I'm marrying is Lillian. I will never marry you. Why are you still pestering me here!"

"Also, do you know the price of a private island wedding? One million! What are you going to pay with?"

I smiled and handed the black card to the staff.

"No need to think about it. Can we sign the letter of intent today?"

"Of course! I'll have the manager come down to personally assist you right away."

Under Callum's shocked gaze and Lillian's resentful stare, I turned and left.

That night, while handling pack documents in my study, Sebastian sent a video call request.

Though we were about to get married, I still felt nervous.

After the video call ended, I stood by the window for a long time.

Until the doorbell rangit was Callum.

"Lucia, what was the meaning of today?" He walked straight into the living room.

"I said I won't marry you. You competed with my fiance for a wedding package. Don't you feel ashamed?"

I'd just had a nice conversation with Sebastian and was in a good mood.

Now that he'd ruined it, I was annoyed.

"Callum, this is the last time I'm explaining this to youthe person I'm marrying is NOT you!"

Callum looked at me with contempt.

"Don't play games with me, Lucia. The person I love is my mate Lillian. I will never marry you."

"If you want to preserve your last shred of dignity, stop appearing in front of me!"

I was so annoyed by him that I angrily told him to leave.

He flaunted his limited-edition watch and stormed off.

His social media immediately updated with a new post:

"The 18th of this month, city hall, marrying my destined love."

The photo showed him and Lillian together on a yacht.

Coincidentally, that was also the day Sebastian and I had scheduled.

I arrived at the marriage registry half an hour early, wearing the custom gown Sebastian had prepared for me.

To avoid Callum and Lillian, I specifically chose a 7 AM time slot.

I didn't expect to run into them anyway.

At 6:55, Callum and Lillian arrived with a group of friends.

When he saw me, his expression froze instantly.

"You actually came?" He dropped Lillian's hand and strode over.

"Lucia, I've told you so many timesI won't marry you. What the hell are you doing?"

His friends started laughing mockingly.

"Callum, your childhood friend is pretty persistent!"

"Is she going to object at the ceremony?"

"Need us to call security?"

Lillian walked over and put her hand on my shoulder. "Blake, do you need me to introduce you to some reliable Alphas?"

"I told you," I pushed her hand away, "the person I'm marrying today isn't him."

Callum's laughter was sharp and unnatural.

"Then who are you marrying? At this time, in this outfit"

He reached out to touch my dress. I blocked him.

"You're not going to say you've been waiting at the marriage registry since 6 AM in haute couture for some other man, are you?"

His friends burst into even louder laughter.

"Lucia, stop making a scene." One of the women patted my shoulder.

"We all know you and Callum had a twenty-year engagement. But now he's chosen his mate. You need to learn to let go."

"Yeah, want me to introduce you to some models? Better than making a fool of yourself here."

Callum laughed contemptuously.

"A woman like her? Forget it. Boring, rigid. I wouldn't want her even for free."

Hearing Callum's insulting words, I could no longer suppress my anger.

In my previous life, he used the same tone to tell Lillian, "Her? She's not my mate at all. She can't satisfy me."

I took a deep breath.

"Callum, can you not understand human speech? I've said itthe person I'm marrying was NEVER you!"

He laughed instead of getting angry.

"Lucia, who would believe that? You've accepted our arranged marriage since you were five, even using family pressure to force me into it!"

"So tell me, where is this person you're supposedly marrying? It's been so longwhy hasn't he shown up?"

I glanced at my watch. Seven o'clock sharp. "He's never late."

Just then, a black SUV drove through the mist.

The door opened, revealing a pair of long legs.

A tall, well-built man stepped out, his features cool and handsome, yet softening slightly when he saw me.

"Callum," Sebastian's voice was low and gentle, "why are you making things difficult for my fiance again?"
