I meticulously experimented with my heart blood day after day, hoping to successfully create this Beta wolf enhancement elixir.
And I succeeded.
On Gamma selection day, I confidently brought my Beta wolf enhancement elixir, ready to amaze everyone.
But the moment I drank the elixir on the competition field, although my wolf indeed transformed into a top-tier Beta wolf, I couldn’t control it at all. It immediately fell at Victoria’s feet and submitted to her.
Everyone in our pack knows that only self-brewed elixirs are effective. If you drink someone else’s elixir, your wolf will submit to them.
Victoria laughed, “I wondered where my Beta enhancement elixir had disappeared to. So you stole it.”
“But you didn’t expect that by drinking my elixir, your wolf would submit to me.”
When word spread that Victoria had brewed a Beta wolf enhancement elixir—something no one had succeeded in doing for 50 years—everyone in the pack rushed over, eager to see how she would transform into a Beta wolf with superior combat abilities.
Meanwhile, my wolf trembled on its knees at her feet.
While everyone rushed to congratulate Victoria on becoming Gamma, they didn’t forget to give me a vicious kick.
Then they spat insults at me with contemptuous faces.
“Pathetic! We actually thought she was some genius potion master, but she’s just a shameless thief!”
“Alexis is truly ridiculous. Of all things to steal, she chooses someone else’s elixir. Look where that got her.”
“But our Gamma is incredible. That was a Beta wolf enhancement elixir! I wouldn’t even dare to dream of brewing something like that…”
Words hurt more than fists.
Those who had been overshadowed by my brilliance for years now freely unleashed their jealousy.
I had worked hard for over a decade, only to be casually labeled a thief.
They had permanently nailed me to the pillar of shame.
Tears fell as I tried to explain, but under the effect of the elixir, I couldn’t utter a single word.
Victoria gave me a disdainful look, then put on a facade of pure kindness. She personally took a silver dagger and sliced open my wrist. Blood immediately poured out, and the silver-inflicted wound prevented me from healing.
“Lexi dear, my elixir won’t enhance your wolf—it’ll poison it. The only way to save your life is to drain all the poisoned blood,” she said sweetly.
“You just wanted to be Gamma so badly that you stole my elixir. It’s okay, I don’t blame you.”
As she spoke, she carved several more wounds into my body.
The excruciating pain from the silver dagger made my eyes turn bloodshot, almost dripping with blood.
Everyone praised Victoria for being both powerful and kind, truly the most suitable person to be Gamma.
I collapsed on the ground, filled with despair.
I never stole anything! That was the elixir I brewed myself!
But before I could speak up, the pack members threw me into the forest to fend for myself.
Just as I was about to bleed out, someone knocked me unconscious and threw me into a silver pit.
The silver pit burned my entire body with agonizing pain, even corroding my bones.
When I opened my eyes again, I had been reborn to one week before the Gamma selection.
I found myself in Beta Richard’s home. He patted my shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement and admiration: “My granddaughter doesn’t compare to you. You’re the most skilled elixir brewer in our pack.”
Coming back to consciousness from the agony of being literally corroded to death by silver, I felt a jolt of terror.
A mix of emotions flooded through me, and my eyes instantly welled up with tears.
I had died once, yet was alive again.
However, the memory of that near-death agony wouldn’t fade away—it seemed etched into my very bones.
Richard didn’t notice anything unusual about me and continued, “You must carefully brew your elixir these days to become the next Gamma.”
Suppressing my body’s trembling and the disgust that made me want to slap his hand away, I smiled at him.
“Beta, I’ll do my best.”
I’ll do my best to uncover the truth about my previous life.
In my past life, even at the brink of death, I still couldn’t understand why the Beta wolf enhancement elixir I had personally brewed made my wolf submit to Victoria when I drank it.
I couldn’t figure out where things had gone wrong.
This time, I won’t use my heart blood to brew that Beta wolf enhancement elixir. That should prevent the problem, right?
This time, I will definitely change my fate!
