Double Rebirth: My Rival and I Toppled the Trash Alpha

Introduction
Before my death, many from the pack came to say goodbye.
Even Seraphina, my lifelong rival, came.
Only Kael, my Alpha mate of five years, was absent.
He was with that rogue Jennifer, watching the moon's reflection in Silver Moon Falls.
In my final moments, I received his mind-link.
"When the Moon Goddess guided me to find you as my fated mate, you were just a Beta. To inherit the Alpha position, I had no choice but to choose you. All these years I've been giving you suppressants, forbidding you from getting pregnant, and you agreed to it all. You've been a competent Luna."
"If there's a next life, I'll still choose you. In this life, rest in peace. I'll personally arrange your funeral."
Sensing this mind-link, my rival Seraphina sneered mockingly: "Karolyn, you really weren't cut out to be a Luna."
"In the next life, don't compete with me anymore."
Her words proved prophetic. When I opened my eyes again, we had both returned to the day of the Darkwood family's mate selection ceremony.
Kael said coldly: "Karolyn, the Moon Goddess has chosen you as my fated mate. You will be Darkwood's Luna."
Without hesitation, I stepped back and pointed to Seraphina.
"I think the Luna position is better suited for Seraphina."
Chapter 1
I died on the barren wasteland in a raging blizzard.
Before my death, many from the pack came to say goodbye.
Even Seraphina, my lifelong rival, came.
Only Kael, my Alpha mate of five years, was absent.
He was with that rogue Jennifer, watching the moon's reflection in Silver Moon Falls.
In my final moments, I received his mind-link.
"When the Moon Goddess guided me to find you as my fated mate, you were just a Beta. To inherit the Alpha position, I had no choice but to choose you. All these years I've been giving you suppressants, forbidding you from getting pregnant, and you agreed to it all. You've been a competent Luna."
"If there's a next life, I'll still choose you. In this life, rest in peace. I'll personally arrange your funeral."
Sensing this mind-link, my rival Seraphina sneered mockingly: "Karolyn, you really weren't cut out to be a Luna."
"In the next life, don't compete with me anymore."
Her words proved prophetic. When I opened my eyes again, we had both returned to the day of the Darkwood family's mate selection ceremony.
Kael said coldly: "Karolyn, the Moon Goddess has chosen you as my fated mate. You will be Darkwood's Luna."
Without hesitation, I stepped back and pointed to Seraphina.
"I think the Luna is better suited for Seraphina."
The Elder Council looked puzzled.
"Karolyn, you are Kael's fated mate. This is the Moon Goddess's sacred arrangement."
"But the Luna position affects the entire pack's future. We must consider capability. Seraphina, as our strongest female warrior, has more advantages in this regard."
The Darkwood pack had strict traditions—fated mates were sacred and inviolable, but the Luna position required sufficient strength to fulfill the role.
The pack elders found themselves in a dilemma: they had to respect the Moon Goddess's arrangement while choosing the most suitable leader for the pack.
But Kael's heart belonged to Jennifer, a rogue wolf without bloodline or status.
Whether it was his fated mate or the strongest warrior, neither was the person he truly wanted.
But to inherit the Alpha position, he had to choose one of us.
In my previous life, naive as I was, I knew nothing of his inner turmoil.
After accepting the Luna position, I wept with joy, thinking I had finally received fate's blessing, unaware it was a tragedy destined from the start.
Given a second chance, I no longer wanted this fate.
I calmly answered the elder.
"Elder, I'm weak-willed. I fear that even as Luna, I wouldn't be able to support the mighty Darkwood pack."
"Seraphina is our bravest warrior, powerful and truly more suitable than I am."
Seeing my resolve, the elder turned to Kael: "What do you think?"
Kael leaned against the Alpha throne, his fingers tapping carelessly on the armrest, his eyes devoid of emotion.
"I don't care which."
Seeing Kael's indifference, the elder couldn't say much more.
He only reminded us: "You two work it out."
"The new Alpha's succession ceremony cannot wait, and traditions cannot be violated."
I understood the elder's concern.
As Kael's fated mate, I should have been his chosen one.
But Seraphina had always been defiant, believing that as the strongest warrior, she deserved the future Alpha more.
Kael found me weak and never hid his disdain for me, a Beta.
Seraphina saw this as her opportunity, constantly trying to prove she was more suitable to be Luna.
Challenging my strength in the training grounds, questioning my judgment in meetings—these were everyday occurrences.
I was used to not fighting back, only quietly defending myself when I truly couldn't bear it anymore.
Now, reborn and knowing Kael's true feelings, I only found our rivalry laughably pathetic.
Why would I continue this pointless confrontation?
I nodded calmly: "Rest assured, Elder. Seraphina and I have discussed it. We won't cause any conflicts."
The elder was satisfied.
"Good. The full moon approaches, the succession ceremony cannot be delayed. The mating ritual will be in three days."
After leaving the Alpha hall, Seraphina and I had just reached the Moon Goddess shrine when Kael approached us with Jennifer.
But he wasn't looking for me.
He held Jennifer's hand, standing before Seraphina, his Alpha aura radiating dominance.
"Seraphina, congratulations on becoming my Luna. But there's something I need to make clear in advance."
"Jennifer is my true love. I won't abandon her just because of our mating bond. I'll bring her to the packhouse and give her the status she deserves."
"From now on, unless there's a blood moon summons or pack warfare that requires our joint handling, I'll be with Jennifer."
Hearing these familiar words, my heart lurched violently.
In my previous life, Kael had said the exact same thing to me.
It was the first time he had made a demand of me. Not wanting to defy my Alpha, I agreed.
Back then, I thought his fascination with Jennifer was just a temporary infatuation.
When the passion faded, he would naturally return to his fated mate's side and fulfill his Alpha duties.
But I never expected Kael's possessiveness over her to be stronger than I imagined.
And Jennifer wasn't as compliant as she initially promised to be.
Her jealousy burned like wildfire, constantly asserting her dominance in various ways.
Deliberately showing me Kael's marks on her body was mild compared to sometimes self-harming and claiming I had attacked her, trying to sabotage the fragile bond between Kael and me.
The reason Kael refused to let me bear his pups was because Jennifer had deliberately miscarried their first pup during her heat, then framed me for putting moonshade flowers in her food.
Kael believed her. As punishment, he never touched me again, leaving me to endure every heat cycle alone during the full moons.
Seeing me spend full moon nights alone, other she-wolves would whisper behind my back: "Look at that Luna, can't even keep her own Alpha, will never bear the Alpha's pups—what a disgrace to the pack."
Just as the bitter feelings began to surface, Seraphina's voice cut through my thoughts.
"Kael!" Her voice carried a dangerous growl. "You think I'll be as compliant as Karolyn?"
"Listen carefully—if you dare let that rogue wolf set foot in our territory, I'll tear her apart with my own hands!"
