Abandoned Alpha Mate After Rebirth

In my previous life, no one loved me except my Alpha mate, Grayson. My parents and brothers treated me like a mobile wolf essence bank for my sister Victoria.

But Grayson remembered I was afraid of the dark and quietly left a nightlight after my essence transfusions; he kept my casual mention of "wanting to find a quiet place to paint" in his heart, and casually gave me $5 billion to buy my favorite forest.

When I confessed my feelings to him, though he was shocked, he still accepted my confession and promised he would definitely mark me.

God knows how happy I was then—the person I liked actually liked me too.

I only realized when I was dying that his kindness towards me was predicated on my continued donations of wolf essence to Victoria.

After my rebirth, the first thing I did was spend five billion dollars to buy an isolated forest.

"Miss Ember, are you sure you want to purchase this forest? If you buy it and move in, it'll be nearly impossible to contact the outside world."

I nodded, my voice carrying a hint of relief.

"That's exactly what I want—somewhere no one can reach me."

But when I really left, why did my family and Grayson go crazy and beg me to come back?

In my previous life, I only realized when I was dying that my Alpha mate marked me just to better control me and make me willingly transfer wolf essence to my sister Victoria.

Victoria had suffered from wolf essence depletion since childhood—a severe condition where her wolf was failing and couldn't survive without regular essence transfusions.

My parents treated me like I was just a thoughtless child—after all, Victoria would always say "Sister's just throwing a tantrum, she loves me deep down," but then turn around and crumple up my drawings of wolf pack forests, telling our parents "Sister draws such dark pictures, is she cursing me?"

My brother Finn also only had eyes for Victoria, because she'd always play the victim in front of him, saying "Brother, sister just pushed me, she said I'm a burden."

Only Grayson had ever shown me different kind of warmth. He'd remember I was afraid of the dark and quietly leave a night light after my essence transfusions; he'd keep my casual mention of "wanting to find a quiet place to paint" in his heart—but all that tenderness was crushed by Victoria's tears.

I confessed my feelings to him. Though he was shocked, he still accepted my confession and promised he would definitely mark me.

Back then I thought I'd grasped the light, until right before I died in my previous life, I heard Victoria whisper in Grayson's ear: " Uncle, please, if you let Ember leave, I will die without her wolf essence. You absolutely can't let her know you actually care about her, or she'll make a fuss about leaving me."
