I was executed with my own name on their lips. This time, I return without it - and without mercy. Once the court's darling, Thalia was betrayed, branded a traitor, and sentenced to die by the very people who called her family. But fate isn't finished with her. Reborn in the days before her downfall, Thalia no longer plays the obedient noble girl. This time, she remembers every lie, every mask, every hand that pushed her to the edge. And she's done begging for justice. She's here to take it. In a world of twisted politics, hidden bloodlines, and royal games masked in silk, one girl rises not to reclaim the throne - but to rewrite the story they tried to end. Because this time, the villainess wins.

Chapter 1 The Death That Wasn't Mine

The screams echoed down the marble halls, but no one came to save her.

Thalia knelt at the center of the grand throne room, her once-gleaming gown now tattered and soaked in blood-none of it hers. Her wrists were bound. Her pride had already been broken.

Above her, the queen sat unshaken, her hands resting delicately on the arms of the throne. Beside her, Prince Alaric stood motionless, his eyes fixed somewhere beyond Thalia's trembling figure. Cold. Empty. Gone.

"By decree of the Crown," the queen's voice rang out, smooth as glass and just as sharp, "Thalia Melbourne is hereby sentenced to death for high treason, conspiracy, and attempted regicide."

The crowd gasped, but no one spoke up. Not a single voice rose in her defense.

Not even his.

Thalia's heart fractured in silence. She searched Alaric's face one last time. The boy she had loved. The man she had protected. Her last, unbroken hope. But his eyes didn't meet hers. They never would again.

He believes them.

He thinks I betrayed him.

They had won.

The queen. Her uncle. The entire court that whispered poison into the prince's ear.

They had twisted her loyalty into treachery, her warnings into lies, her love into something shameful.

A blade was drawn.

She did not plead. She did not cry.

She lifted her chin.

"If there is a god who sees all," she whispered, "let them hear this: I did not betray him."

And then, softer:

"Give me time again... and I will burn every name behind this lie to ash."

The sword came down.

And everything went dark.

But death was not the end.

She awoke with a scream.

Silk sheets tangled around her limbs. The ceiling above was familiar-soft blue, cracked slightly in the corner. Her room. Her old room. The scent of lavender and parchment filled the air. Her heart pounded like thunder in her chest.

She was alive.

Not just alive-returned.

She scrambled to the mirror. A young face stared back. Unlined. Untouched. The face of a girl who had not yet been ruined.

This is before it happened... before the engagement... before the lies...

She gripped the edges of the vanity, eyes wide with disbelief and fire.

The gods had heard her. Or the universe had pitied her.

It doesn't matter.

Because now she had time. Now she had memory. And now she had purpose.

They had rewritten her into a villains once.

This time, she would write the ending herself.

And this time?

She would win.

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
