I was born fiercely competitive, and I’d spent my life locked in a battle of wills with the equally proud Emilia Hawthorne.
To outdo me, she agreed to marry Dominic Vale—the man I’d always wanted. The marriage would give Stonebrook and Redmont Packs shared access to the eastern trade routes and border defenses, and she would become the envy of everyone as the wife of an Alpha heir.
In my last life, I retaliated by setting my sights on her revered older brother, Adrian Hawthorne.
I drugged Adrian with wine laced with wolfsbane, then made sure the hotel cameras caught us spending the night together. I threatened to kill myself until the Stonebrook Pack Council was forced to recognize our marriage.
On my wedding day, Emilia was shaking with rage. But in front of guests from both Packs, she had no choice but to acknowledge me as her brother’s wife.
In time, Adrian accepted me with a quiet gentleness.
For him, I sanded down my sharp edges and tried desperately to fit in at Stonebrook. I even reconciled with Emilia. I thought I’d finally found love, and a home.
But when Emilia had an unexpected miscarriage, the man who’d sworn he believed me said this to his father behind a closed door:
“Laurel has a paranoid nature. Even if she’s changed, we can’t rule out the possibility she hurt Emilia. Investigate her.”
And that’s when I realized: he had never truly trusted me.
That night, I slipped and fell into the water. I went into premature labor, gave birth to a stillborn child, and bled to death in Adrian’s arms.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day the news of Emilia’s engagement broke.
This time, I wanted nothing to do with the Hawthornes.
So when my father asked if I would consider the man he had chosen for me, I nodded.
“Callum Rhodes is fine. I’m willing to marry him.”
I Died In His Arms Now I’ll Marry Another Chapter 08 Emilia’s wedding day arrived soon enough. I heard Adrian stayed by his sister’s side the entire time. The Royal Guard and security teams from both Packs had the venue locked down tight. Someone joked on the Pack channels that the Hawthornes looked like they

She’s probably humiliated, so she’s hiding.” “Good thing she’s not coming. She’d definitely make a scene at the wedding.” The speakers were Emilia and several of her friends.
