When I Dreamed of the Alpha Again Chapter 06
In the middle of the night, I woke up from a dream of my past self jumping off a rooftop.
Even as a bystander in the dream, I was still shaken by the hollow, desperate eyes of the Allie from
my previous life.
Since my rebirth, I had done nothing but desperately avoid becoming that version of myself. Yet I
had never once thought about how to give her justice.
She was me-but I didn’t want to become her.
But if I kept running away like this… did that also mean I was silently accepting the accusations placed on her in my past life?
Had I… betrayed myself?
I stared outside in a daze, as if I had been thrown back into those three years-locked in the pack
house, cut off from everyone by Nathan’s order.
The identity of the “only witness” was unavoidable.
Did that also mean the spread of Tiffany’s secret in the previous life was unavoidable?
Was her breakdown and rooftop suicide also unavoidable?
And the “murderer” label that was pinned on me… was that also unavoidable?
I sat on the bed, my head aching violently.
Who exactly had spread Tiffany’s secret?
If I couldn’t find that person, my fate would be dragged back onto the same path as before.
Just thinking about the isolation and bullying at school and within the pack-along with those three years of bonding with Nathan-made it hard to breathe.
That had been the darkest period of my life. I had become afraid of mate bonds, afraid of Nathan, afraid of everyone around me.
I only wanted to curl into myself and grow a thick shell to protect everything inside.
But Nathan wouldn’t allow it. Again and again, he tore that shell open, using every method to break me down-until I collapsed, until I lost hope, until I died.
I had to… seek justice for the Allie of my past life. And I had to save myself.
Quietly, I hired a private investigator to follow Tiffany, hoping to find a breakthrough.
Tiffany rarely went back to that so-called home. Other than going out with her roommate, training,
or studying at the library, she was almost always with Nathan.
Without me in the middle, Nathan’s attention naturally belonged entirely to her. Since the day he
clearly drew the line between us, she had also silently treated me like a stranger-as if we had
never been close at all.
I couldn’t help but remember what I once wrote in my diary.
Maybe, at some point, Tiffany and I had actually shared the same thought.
Suddenly, I recalled a day in my previous life. The three of us had planned to go to a newly opened
milkshake shop after training.
I was still in line when I saw Tiffany arrive early at the lockers, pick up my backpack, and wave it in
my direction.
My diary had been inside that bag.
Was it… her?
Buzz.
My phone lit up again with several new photos.
Tiffany was seen leaving school alone and getting into a black Jeep.
It looked familiar. Probably Nathan’s car-maybe he was taking her somewhere to relax.
After following them for a while, there was still no clue about the real “culprit.” Frustrated, I | lowered my phone.
Knock knock.
“Sweetheart, Mom made you a mint chocolate milkshake. Do you want some?”
My mother’s gentle voice came from outside the door.
I originally had no appetite at all-but suddenly, I thought of something from my past life.
I froze for a moment, then opened the door and took the cold glass from her hands, drinking it in big, hurried gulps.
“Slow down! No one’s taking it from you!” she laughed.
After finishing it, I leaned into her and spent the entire afternoon watching TV dramas on the sofa.
“This one’s good!”
“Oh? Better than Nathan?” she teased.
“Better,” I said immediately.
“Hm? That’s the first time I’ve heard you say someone is better than Nathan. Wasn’t he always the best in your eyes?”
“Uh… people grow up, okay? I just think he’s not the best anymore.”
“No wonder you don’t go to pack gatherings lately. So he’s already in the past, huh? Luna Naomi
was even saying there’ve been some questionable girls hanging around Nathan recently.”
“There were always a lot of she-wolves who liked him.”
“Aren’t you one of them?”
“…Not anymore!”
“Wow, you’ve really grown up. Now you know there are plenty of fish in the sea.”
When I returned to my room again, I saw several more photos of Tiffany being dropped back at
school by that car.
I scrolled through them absentmindedly-until I suddenly noticed something in the corner of one
image.
A figure in a black coat.
My heart suddenly pounded violently.
Something… I had missed something.
My hands trembling, I went back and reviewed every photo taken during this period.
Over three hundred images.
Nearly half of them…
Had that same figure in the background.
