I watched their reactions, a slight smile playing on my lips. My wolf felt a surge of satisfaction, the scent of victory sweet.
I nodded with satisfaction.
“Good. From today, Fire Pharmaceuticals will restart. Anyone unwilling to abide by pack law can leave now.”
My voice carried the weight of my authority.

A few dozen wolves, their scents heavy with fear and defeat, looked at each other, no one dared to cause trouble anymore, and they quietly packed up and left. The air cleared, the scent of rebellion fading.
I surveyed the room and announced, “An immediate meeting. All senior pack members, report to the council chamber.” My wolf felt a thrill of anticipation.
Then, I walked towards the Luna’s chambers.
Entering the Luna’s chambers, I began to check important documents: finances, project progress, marketing… My wolf’s keen senses scanned the documents, picking up inconsistencies and oversights.
I had seen these documents in my past life, but it had been a lifetime ago; I’d forgotten some details. Moreover, there was a major oversight left by Emily–if she tried to pin the blame on me again like last time…
The thought of Emily’s betrayal sent a shiver down my spine, a surge of protective anger through my wolf.
I wouldn’t give Emily another chance to attack me!
My wolf growled silently, a promise of revenge.
Time flew by as I worked frantically until midday, when Steven came to find me.
“Isabella… ah, no, Miss Miller.” Steven was focused on research and didn’t understand pack etiquette.
His nervousness was apparent in his scent. He instinctively called me Isabella, then realized his mistake and corrected himself.

I smiled.“Steven, you can call me whatever y

Steven immediately grinned honestly.
*Of course, I can’t let our Isabella be looked down upon!” His wolf relaxed, happy to fall back into our familiar rhythm.
He happily handed me a document.“This is…”
I didn’t even listen to what he was saying, took the file, and signed it.
My wolf sensed the urgency of his request.
Take it to finance and have them transfer the funds; the procurement pack will ship the materials to you.” My commands were clear and efficient.
In my past life, the project Steven was working on suffered from funding shortages, which slowed progress. Eventually, a foreign pharmaceutical pack registered the patent first, causing their project to go bankrupt and pause.
The memory was painful, a sharp pang in my wolf’s heart.
Steven was distressed for a long time, angrily resigning.
Due to a signed agreement, he couldn’t join a similar pack for ten years, becoming a pharmacist in a hospital, earning only a meager living. His pup later became seriously ill, and he couldn’t afford treatment.
The pup finally died. His mate divorced him, and before I was imprisoned, I heard he couldn’t bear the blow and committed suicide.
The pain of that memory was almost unbearable, a heavy weight on my wolf’s soul.
In this life, I had to expedite the funding approval so that he could complete his project early!
My resolve hardened, fueled by my memories.
Steven’s eyes lit up–after three years, since Emily meddled in Fire, this was the first time he got project funding so easily! His relief was palpable, a wave of gratitude washing over me.

Having someone above was indeed easier! He looked at the signed document, cheered again, then suddenly remembered,
“By the way, Isabella, I saw your brother come to see you earlier.”
When I heard my brother was here, my beautiful almond–shaped eyes sparkled like stars, and I couldn’t help but smile. My wolf’s heart leaped with joy at the thought of seeing my brother.
