Third Person's POV
Gloria spoke through tears, her honeysuckle pheromones swirling into a sharp vortex.
She stepped closer, her damp skirt brushing Eugene's boots. "I don't care. What reputation do I have left? You must have heard about the Bloodmoon Pack—I joined a terrible place."
"Eugene, this is all you owe me. If you weren't dead, why didn't you tell me?" she demanded.
"Even after dissolving our mating, I waited for you in the Ironclaw Pack. If Mrs. Voss hadn't approached me, I'd still be waiting, not mating with anyone else," she revealed.
"In the Ironclaw Pack, I had no freedom. Christine despised me and was eager to see me gone. When Mrs. Voss arrived, I had no choice but to comply," she explained, her eyes narrowing with tears.
Her pheromones pressed down with intention—the familiar scent of their bond now only brought numbness to Eugene's neck.
Eugene's cedar pheromones dampened like waterlogged cotton. Guilt cla
Third Person's POVDoctor Digby administered oxytocin and blood-clotting agents. The scent of oxytocin filled the air, and everyone turned pale.The dosage had to be precise; otherwise, not only would this pregnancy be lost, but future pregnancies would be nearly impossible.The royal physician, hearing the prescription, thought only one thing—— Digby was pulling out all the stops in a final attempt to save Melinda.Finally, after the chaos and with the help of the previously administered hemostatic and nutritional agents, Melinda, though exhausted, regained some strength.The oxytocin triggered strong contractions. Melinda felt a distinct sensation of pressure.The midwife urged her to push. With several difficult efforts, the baby was born.Digby left the delivery room, leaving Galvin and the midwife to handle the aftermath.The infant was a boy, but he was cyanotic and lifeless.Luna Chloe, seeing the resemblance to Dwight, wept.Luna Skye also tearfully mourned her "poor grandson.
Third Person's POVAfter over an hour, Melinda's cries faded to silence.Her silvermoon grass pheromones were barely a flicker, and she was drenched in sweat, her wolf fur lifeless beneath her sodden hair.Her wolf curled in the depths of her consciousness, whimpering weakly.She couldn't even muster the most basic healing abilities, and every breath she took shook with agony.Adelaide dabbed at her with a towel, her cedar pheromones wrapping around Melinda in a gentle embrace, whispering encouragements to reignite her will to fight.But Melinda, drained and in agony, couldn't hear a word.Melinda felt herself slipping away. The wolf that had once run alongside her could barely lift its head, succumbing to the encroaching darkness.She forced her eyes open, her gaze vacant and unfocused, her pupils dilated with pain.In a voice barely above a whisper, she murmured, "Maybe... it's better to just die.""Don't talk nonsense. Doctor Digby will be here soon," Adelaide said hoarsely, her he
Third Person's POVAdelaide was heartbroken. She grasped Melinda's hand and asked Galvin, "How's the situation?"Galvin checked under the blanket and pulled out all the needles. "Give her a painkiller and have her take vitamin supplements," she sighed.After administering the painkiller and placing the vitamin supplements in Melinda's mouth, Adelaide looked at Galvin, who replied with a helpless expression, "We can only hope Georgina brings Doctor Digby here soon."But Melinda's pain intensified. It felt as if a giant hand was twisting her internal organs over and over again, with crushing pressure mixed in.She arched her back, trying to curl up, but her swollen abdomen made it impossible.Galvin also prevented her from constantly shifting into a curled position, warning that it could increase the risk of suffocation for the baby.The agony was overwhelming, robbing Melinda of all coherent thought. She just wanted it to end.W
Third Person's POVPaige's face was a mask of fury, her fingers slightly shifting into claws as she pointed at Dwight, tied to the tree. "He pushed her. We let our guard down," she admitted, her pheromones sparking like suppressed flames.Paige then detailed the events. Dwight, having somewhat recovered from Willow's loss, had realized his past mistakes and started visiting Melinda daily with apologies and gifts.Every time he showed up, he had a grin on his face and brought some delicious food.He kept apologizing for how he treated Melinda, even almost got down on his knees to promise he'd never do it again.Melinda didn't completely cut him off, but she didn't really talk to him either.After Paige checked the food he brought and confirmed it was safe, Melinda let everyone eat it.After seven or eight days of this, Paige and Georgina had let their guard down.When he came today, Paige was in the kitchen making a nutrient mix
Third Person's POVThe former Luna disliked Adelaide the most. "Adelaide may be the mate of a royal member, but she has no right to meddle in our Soulrend Pack's internal affairs. Even Luna Skye hasn't said anything. Adelaide is overstepping her boundaries."But as cries echoed from the room, she shuddered all the same. "Wasn't one of Doctor Digby's subordinates in there? What's she doing?"They climbed the stone steps, and in the outer room, all the women were gathered. Behind a single door lay Melinda's birthing chamber.Melinda was in agony, writhing in pain. The bleeding on her forehead had stopped, but her face was swollen.Dwight had pushed her down the stone steps, and Paige and Georgina hadn't been there to witness it.By the time Georgina rushed over, Melinda had already fallen.The steps weren't high, but with Melinda's heavy pregnancy, her head had struck the corner of the first step.When Georgina lifted her, blood
Third Person's POV"Then put it to the test!"Paisley said with a grin. She looked up at Sophia and asked, "What kind of coffee is this?"Sophia put down the coffee cup and said, "This is the caramel macchiato brewed by Ivy today.""Perfect!" Paisley took the coffee and drank it while wiping her neck with the towel. Then she tossed the towel back onto the tray. "Alright, that's enough. You may leave."After Sophia left, Paisley said, "I don't like her."Adelaide laughed and said, "Don't deny it, she's quite useful. She's from the palace, after all. Beata's workload has been greatly reduced now."Paisley smiled and asked, "When do you plan to let Beata leave the pack? She should be looking for a mate."Adelaide sighed and said, "I was planning to find her a suitable mate after things settle down here for a while. I'll miss her, but she's my age and it's time for her to start a family.""How about Avery?" Paisley raised an
