The Alpha Princess They Destroyed Chapter 01

The Alpha Princess They Destroyed Chapter 01

In the fifth year after I was sent away to the deep mountains, 

my Alpha brother, Liam Sullivan, finally decided to show mercy and come get me. 

He arrived in a helicopter with his so–called real sister, dressed in luxury from head to toe, while I stood there gaunt 

and hollow–eyed. 

For the occasion, Zoe Sullivan had even summoned the friends I used to have in the pack. 

Right there in front of everyone, she gasped dramatically. 

“Ember, what happened to you?” she asked, all false concern. “Is this what happens after miscarrying more than thirty pups in five years?” 

My former friends looked at me with naked disgust. 

I lifted my gaze to her, cold and sharp as broken ice. 

Zoe stiffened on instinct, then hid behind Liam with a pout. 

“Ember looks so scary.” 

Only then did the man who had stood there in silence, frowning the whole time, finally speak, “Do you understand what you did wrong now?” 

I nodded, because I knew kindness had been my mistake. 

Loving him with everything I had had been an even bigger one. 

Something complicated flickered through his eyes, only to be replaced by satisfaction a second later. “Looks like these five years did some good after all. You’ve learned how to behave.” 

I tugged at my lips. 

I was no longer hysterical. 

And I would never again beg for his love. 

The moment I stepped onto the helicopter, a mechanical chime rang inside my head. 

[Host, your mission to survive twenty–five years after the soul swap has been successfully completed. Your soul will be sent back in three days, and you will receive a reward of one billion 

dollars.] 

I lowered my eyes, curled my twisted fingers into my palm, and let a faint smile touch my mouth. 

Liam sat across from me, staring without blinking. 

He saw that smile too. 

His tone turned glacial. “When we get back, as long as you stay in line and don’t provoke or hurt Zoe, I won’t send you back 

here again.” 

“And I guarantee no one outside Shadowpine Pack will ever 

hear what happened to you here.” 

Only then did I raise my head and really look at the man I had 

once loved and depended on more than anyone. 

His suit was perfectly tailored. 

His hair was as immaculate as ever. 

He looked just as striking as he had the day, five years ago, 

when he threw me away without the slightest mercy. 

And me? 

My eyes were empty. 

I was all skin and bone, withered like a dead tree. 

I was unrecognizable, even to myself. 

“Okay,” I said flatly. 

The others on the helicopter pricked up their ears. 

My so–called old friends quietly covered their noses, afraid my 

stench would contaminate the air around them. 

Zoe did the same. 

She endured the nausea and sat down beside me, still acting 

the role of the sweet little sister. 

“Ember, are you feeling okay?” she asked softly. “Miscarrying 

more than thirty times must’ve been so hard on you.” 

Under the filthy sleeve crusted with mud, my hand slowly 

clenched. 

Five years ago, the real Alpha princess of Shadowpine Pack, 

Zoe, had been found. 

The very next day, she accused me of trying to kidnap and kill 

her. 

Liam had only just found the sister he’d been searching for, and he flew into a rage. 

Without leaving me an ounce of dignity, he sent me to the most terrifying forbidden forest on the entire werewolf 

continent. 

Then he handed me over to those maddened, feral rogues and told them to punish me however they liked, as long as they left 

me alive. 

On the very first day, at eighteen, I was forcibly marked. 

A month later, I got pregnant. 

They beat me until I miscarried, and every time I got pregnant again, they did it again, until I had lost thirty pups. 

By then, my body was nothing but a withered shell, long since 

drained of life. 

I ignored Zoe. 

Because I was afraid that if I answered her, I might tear that 

fake face right off. 

From beside me, Liam spoke, “I’ve arranged the best pack 

hospital and the best healer on the continent for you. You’ll 

recover properly. As long as you’ve admitted your mistake, we’ll let the past stay in the past.” 

Mockery flashed through my eyes. “How generous of you.” 

His brows drew together. 

He looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he 

swallowed it. 

I turned my head and looked around the cabin. 

That was when I noticed it. 

This helicopter was the birthday gift he’d given me to celebrate my first shift. 

There was only one like it on the entire continent. 

Back then, I hadn’t even had the chance to really enjoy it before Zoe showed up holding a blood test report. 

I never thought I’d see it again like this, after becoming… this. 

Then Zoe’s affected voice rang in my ear again. 

“Liam, make sure they wash my helicopter when we get 

back,” she said with a pout. “It smells bad now.”
