Stolen Rescue, Earned Love

When the earthquake hit, the one I loved the most left me to die. He was my bonded servant, but he never tried to save me. Instead, he dropped to his knees at my sister's feet. Eve, once she dies, everything will be yours. I gave that fox everything, but he only wanted me dead. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day we were choosing our Beast Servant mates. The fox was watching me from inside his cage; he was waiting for me to choose him, just like what I did in my last life. Instead, I walked right past him. Did you forget me? I'm the one who saved your life. Was he? I've been thinking about that night at Blue Moon Lake. The creature that pulled me out of the water might not have been a fox at all. My sister clung tightly to our father's arm. Daddy, these beastlings are scary. In my last life, she'd whipped them bloody just for entertainment. Sister, which one do you want to choose? Just making sure we don't pick the same one. Don't worry, my taste is never as bad as yours. The smile on her face instantly froze Ever since the day she stepped into our house, she'd been playing games like this And in my last life, I was the one who allowed her to play. The auction began. and the biscuits were brought onto the stage one by one, I never reacted to any single one of them, not once my sister leaned closer, sounding casually curious, what are you waiting for the right one? Then suddenly, the entire room gasped. A spotlight fell onto the cage in the center of the stage. White robes, skin pale as fresh snow, crimson eyes, and a long foxtail behind him. My sister shot to her feet. The fox swept his gaze across the crowd, then his eyes locked on mine. Without hesitation, he slammed himself against the bars of the cage.

No, Gia, don't you remember me? I saved your life once at Blue Moon Lake. Of course, I remembered. All I remembered was a flash of white fur and an unknown force dragging me towards the shore. When I woke up, Lauren was kneeling beside me, soaked from head to sew he told me he had saved me, Foxes were born afraid of water, yet he had jumped into the lake for me, I believed him and I never forgot it to thank him, the Sinclair family left a rare elixir by Blue Moon Lake, one that could spare a beast in the agony of their first transformation. But I ignored Lauren's pleading gaze and smiled faintly, sorry, I honestly don't remember father, I want the white fox my father had been struggling to decide. Fine, then he's yours. And I could give that place to anyone Lauren froze, the color drained from his face instantly.

All eyes turned toward me. And this time, I had come to collect that debt. What about the next one? Ladies and gentlemen, we also have a werewolf. inside the cage. The boy lifted a hand to shield his eyes from the spotlight. Werewolves were fierce, wild, and difficult to control. No one bought them as companions; they were used as bodyguards at most. Then he lowered it. I found myself staring into a pair of silvergray eyes. My breath caught. Those eyes felt strangely familiar. He was injured, blood still ran down both arms, yet he lounged against the bars as if he were the one judging us. I rose to my feet and walked toward him. Miss Sinclair, he's dangerous. I shoved the guards aside and stopped in front of the cage. What's your name? Xander Xander. will you come with me?
