Chloe’s POV

“I said I want to marry Jax!”

Hannah’s familiar shout rang in my ears. I blinked open, looking around in confusion. The decoration. The food. This party looked too familiar.

“You cannot marry Jax, Hannah.”

Hearing my husband’s name, my head snapped to the person who spoke. It was David, my step-father.

Only that there was something weird about him. He looked at least a decade younger, none of his grey hairs in sight.

Soft and warm arms closed around my shoulder. “We agreed that Jax would marry Chloe, they might be the mates. You cannot change your mind now, Hannah.”

“Mum,” I whispered, turning to face her with my eyes watering. Without warning, I pulled her into a hug. “Mum!”

It had been years since I saw her alive.

Though confused, her hands slipped to my back. “It’s alright, darling. We will make sure you get to marry Jax a year from now.”

I leaned back and cupped her cheek. “Marry who?”

My gaze swept the entire party and suddenly, everything clicked into place.

I had gone back in time.

A whole ten years back in time to when I was seventeen. I had not yet married that scumbag, Jax.

My mother held my hand, her eyes blazing with anger at Hannah. “Hannah, you have been screaming for years that you were in love with Axel. Do not try to take your sister’s–”

My hands tightened around my mum’s arm as Hannah’s gaze burned into me.

A mixture of jealousy and regret swirled in her eyes.

“I deserve to be Luna, not you,” Hannah spat venomously.

Hannah’s words sent chills down my spine.

If Hannah married Axel, she would instantly become the Luna of our pack since he was the Alpha’s first son. For her to say that, it means that she knew that Jax would become Alpha later…after Axel dies…

Hannah just turned eighteen, there’s no way she should know things that haven’t happened yet!

Unless… I was not the only one who was reborn.

Hannah was reborn, too.

As we watched, Hannah stomped to Jax and grabbed his arm. His eyes lit up as she started to chant the sacred words to accept their mate bond.

“I, Hannah McAnthony, accept you, Jax Everdeen, to be my mate–”

Her father, David, reached for her. “Hannah, wait!”

Jax turned them so he stood between David and his daughter. He nodded at her to continue.

“–I declare that our bond is permanent and irreversible as long as we both shall live.”

Shimmery light descended from the night sky and enveloped them in a halo, signalling that the bond was complete and now recognized by the Moon Goddess.

All the people gathered at Hannah’s party were silent, varying degrees of awe, shock and confusion plastered across their faces.

A wave of anger rippled from our left and washed through the clearing. I stumbled to my knees without meaning to.

Alpha Paul Everton stomped from his chair to Hannah. His hand wrapped around her neck as he lifted her off the floor. “Everyone was gathered here to see the bond of my first son. My heir.”

Hannah spluttered for breath. Alpha turned to David. “Beta, you and your daughter have made a fool of me.”
