Wolf Cub

Fu Fenglang was a half-beast whom everyone despised, and a complete failure.

In everyone's eyes, he was a rebellious wolf cub who abused the family head's affection, never knew when to quit, and made trouble at every turn. Fu Xingxue's favoritism toward him was common knowledge.

But to Fu Fenglang, Fu Xingxue was a controlling bastard.

He hated Fu Xingxue with all his heart, yet when he learned that the man had died, he was utterly at a loss.

This was an age when beastfolk and humans lived side by side, and society depended heavily on a vital resource known as "Flowing Sand."

As the ruler of the north and the leader of the wolf clan, Fu Xingxue controlled all the Flowing Sand mining in the Northern Territory.

Power inspired fear, and desire bred greed. Coveting the Northern Territory's resources, the various factions finally made their move against the wolf clan.

"Those soft pigs, content to wallow in warm lands, think they can conquer the wolf clan?"

"They don't know their place."

No one dared question Fu Xingxue's authority, and no one dared contradict him.

Yet he died in the south.

The last time Fu Fenglang and Fu Xingxue saw each other ended in an argument.

"I don't want you telling me what to do! You're not my father or my mother. What right do you have to control me?"

"The right of being your godfather and your alpha."

The little wolf cub watched the man turn and leave without a care, bristling with anger. He swore that when the man came back, he'd bite through his throat.

But all he received was a cold urn of ashes.

Fu Xingxue had been so cruel as to leave the wolf cub he'd spoiled all alone in the coveted Northern Territory.

Fu Fenglang died in front of Fu Xingxue's grave. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the year he had just come of age.

Fu Xingxue was still alive, and the Northern Territory had yet to be consumed by war.

He could still save the Fu family and the Northern Territory, and make up for every regret.

He could still give them both a chance to learn how to love.

Fu Xingxue, the ruler of the Northern Territory, had spent half his life steeped in power and glory. He had never failed to get what he wanted.

Everything about Fu Fenglang was his to control.

He chose Fu Fenglang's school and friends, taught him about sex, and even took care of his first release after he came of age.

When Fu Fenglang was little and got hurt in a fight, Fu Xingxue would hold him on his lap and tend to his wounds. Even after Fu Fenglang came of age, Fu Xingxue still held him captive in his arms, rubbing medicine into the wounds left red and swollen from taking him.

The wolf cub he'd raised could only ever belong to him.

He knew his little wolf too well. So when he saw that usually rebellious, proud wolf cub kick open his bedroom door with red-rimmed eyes, he knew something had happened.

He gripped the back of the other's neck and held him in his arms. "Who upset you?"

Just as he'd threatened to do in his previous life, Fu Fenglang bit down on his Adam's apple and snarled, "You bastard!"
