I suddenly calmed down and slowed my breathing.

Two days left.I couldn't give up.

Three years ago,at a banquet,Selena suddenly clutched her stomach in pain.Crying,she asked me why I had poisoned her food.

Before I could even react,Kyle had pried my mouth open and forced a whole bottle of“Wolfsbane”down my throat,a poison deadly to werewolves.

I writhed on the floor in agony and passed out.

No one cared about me.The whole pack was gathered around Selena,comforting her.

As I was dying,an ancient voice sounded in my head:

“Contractor's life force has reached zero.Forcibly binding the Ancestral Revenge Pact.”

“Current mission:Survive in the pack for three years as an Omega.”

“Mission success:All pain inflicted upon you will be returned to the abusers a hundredfold.You will be granted one chance at rebirth and will inherit the Ancestral Vault.”

“Mission failure:Your soul will be scattered,never to be reincarnated.”

At the time,I thought it was just a hallucination before death.

But when I woke up,fully healed,I believed.

The Ancestral Spirit had given me a chance for revenge.

I was eighteen then.To survive,I became silent and obedient.

Now,I recalled what I had read in old books about coexisting with dangerous creatures.I suppressed my fear and stood perfectly still.

The giant basilisk slithered around me,its touch ice-cold.

Outside the crystal wall,Selena held Damian's hand,smiling sweetly.

“Damian,your destined mate smells so bad she got thrown into the basilisk's den.”

“Do you feel sorry for her?”
