“I, Ella Vance, was the fated mate of Damian Blackwood, the Alpha of the Laurel Valley Pack. While carrying his offspring and afflicted with the incurable Blood Reversal Curse, he walked arm in arm with my cousin Selena Vance, forcing me to sign the application to dissolve our mate bond. I pleaded with him to let me keep our pups, but he only looked at me with disdain. "Those pups are tainted by the curse. Their disappearance will be good for the pack." Later, Selena orchestrated a car accident, allowing me to fake my death and escape. Eventually, he realized I was the one who could awaken his bloodline. Five years later, I returned. When he saw me, he was ecstatic, kneeling like a loyal dog and begging for my forgiveness. He believed that if he showed enough devotion, he could win me back and be reunited with the pups. But he didn't know I was no longer the humble Ella I once had been.”
