“Why are you smiling like you’ve already won?” I crossed my arms and scoffed.“Because I did.” Her smile became a smirk. “You’re useless. No wonder your womb is useless too.”I bared my teeth at her.“My son will be his heir, Lilly,” Rose emphasized. “He will be the future Alpha of Gideon’s pack—and I will eventually replace you as the Luna. Who knows? Maybe it will be tomorrow right away, and you’re nothing but Lilly Farrow, the daughter of my father’s whore.”“Well, at least I didn’t become another man’s whore, unlike you.”Rose walked towards me and thought her actions intimidated me to the point that I’d be pinned to the wall by her gaze. I didn’t. I remained rooted at the spot and glared at her with all the anger in the world.“How do you feel, sister?” She exhaled once. "How do you feel that Gideon's no longer yours?"“Oh, he’s yours, Rose.” I bit my lip. “You didn’t just take my husband, stepsister. You also took my problem—and for that, I’m glad of it. Good luck.”I saw the an
“Lilly...” he sighed as he massaged his forehead. “Of course, it’s you. It’s always been you and our child.”“Then why are you shirtless?” I growled, pinning him with my gaze. For once, I trembled at the sight of his muscled chest and it brought heat to my body. Now, only disgust rolls at the tip of my tongue.“Lilly, you’re just like this because of the medicine. Lie down on the bed.” He pointed to the mattress behind me. "Rest so that you’ll regain back your strength and your healthy mind once again—”I tipped my head to the ceiling and laughed so loud that it made Alpha Gideon grimace in confusion.“That’s your excuse always, isn’t it? The medicine this, Doctor Violet said that, blah blah blah...” I shook my head. “You think you can still control me using this hospital as my prison and those medicines as your torture devices?!”“Lilly, my love, let me explain—”“Stop calling my name like that!” I yelled. I closed my eyes, and for a moment, I imagined that this never happened. I clo
Lilly’s POVOpening my eyes an hour later after the secret meeting, exhausted after using my wolf’s astral projection powers to communicate with Alpha Caelum, I still found Alpha Gideon sulking in my hospital room.But Rose is now with him—or rather, he's inside her.They didn’t see me waking up or even notice that I was there; it felt like I was the one in the room with them.I’ve been waking up, losing consciousness, my sight going black, and then waking up again for like four days straight. Or was it three? I don’t know, I can no longer tell how long I’ve been here and how long they’ve been treating me like shit.The wild sex they’re currently having is beyond annoying: it was heartbreaking.So I pretended to close my eyes as tears quietly trailed my pale face.I did not move from my sleeping position. I just watched them on the glass pane’s reflection while Rose rode my mate on top of him. My wolf howled in agony, but we can’t do anything but watch. Rose won herself a cheating hus
There is nothing worse than finding out your husband is physically fucking his mistress before your eyes, compared to knowing your husband has your stepsister as his mistress. But for Lilly, she guessed it doesn’t matter which one is much worse. Both are worse.The moon was bright and sharp, like a silver blade gliding in the sky. She sighed, not really knowing if what she’s doing is right or could’ve been more right.She’s glad her wolf did not easily get tired when she requested it to use its astral projection powers. Her body remained in the hospital, but her spirit will brave the dark of the path she now has chosen to take.Lilly walked through the snow-covered forest, her cloak soaked at the hem, her steps silent but certain. This place is always covered by snow no matter the time of year. Behind her, Eden Hospital faded into the trees—along with everything she once believed was sacred and important to her heart.Her mate.Her stepsister.Her bestfriend.Her pack.They are all dea
An hour later, the tears on my face hadn’t yet dried up when I started crying again.Just as I was about to wipe away my sorrows, a message from an unknown sender chimed from my phone. “Are you okay?” it says, “I’ve heard about your operation, Lilly.”I snorted. Who could that be? Surely, it can’t be Gideon’s stepfather—I put down my phone instantly when my ears were disturbed by those moans again. Moans that came only from being fucked.I leaned into the wall and listened. I knew those moans; it was Rose’s voice.I’m very sure of it. I sat in the silence, my hands clenched in my lap as the heart monitor beeped steadily beside me. My nose endured the sterile scent of antiseptic mixed with the faintest trace of blood—my blood. I lifted the hospital dress up to my chest and there...I stared at my womb. The scar of the operation, the visible stitch reminded me what saved my life—and what I have lost. For many months, I’ve rubbed it and sang to the life listening beyond my skin. I’ve alw
The next morning came, and my life has taken a darker turn.“You will never be able to conceive again, Luna Lilly.” Those were Doctor Violet’s words to me before I passed out—again.“How are you feeling, Lilly?” It was his unexpected voice that bid me to stir from my slumber. I sat up and searched for something on the side table.The vial and its spilled contents are gone. Cleaned, with no trace left behind.“I don’t know if this is the right time to say, my love, but...you had a surgery last night?”“Last night?” I gasped. “But I was asleep?!”“Yes,” Gideon pressed on. “They removed your uterus while you’re asleep.”“WHAT?!”“Lilly...”“Don’t you fucking call me Lilly, Gideon!” I heaved a deeper breath. “You just allowed them to do that?!” My silent tears became frantic sobs. “You just allowed them?”“Doctor Violet found it to be cancerous, Lilly. That’s the best we can do to save your life—”“Bullshit!” I shook my head repeatedly, vehemently. “You’re lying. You’re all lying!”I held
