Chapter 3

I was standing outside Ryan's ward when I heard the familiar sound of moans coming from within.

Faith was lying naked in Felix's arms once again.

"Do you think that Ryan will want me to be his new mother, Felix?" she asked coyly. "To be the new Luna of the Blackrock pack?"

"Of course," Felix answered. "You're so lovely. Ryan will definitely like you."

"What about Wendy?"

Felix paused before he said, "If I had met you first, Ryan would have been our pup."

I howled as I transformed into a wolf and smashed the door open. I grabbed Faith by her hair and yanked her out of Felix's arms.

Felix was momentarily stunned by my attack, but it didn't take long for him to snap back to his senses. He transformed into an even bigger wolf and struck me with his massive claws.

I wasn't able to dodge out of the way in time. I crumpled to the floor with a grunt as my wolf dissipated.

Felix hastily returned to his human form, saying, "I didn't mean to hurt you, Wendy. I just…"

I looked up at him. My eyes were bloodshot, and fresh blood dripped from the corner of my lips.

Felix abruptly fell silent. A long moment passed before he finally said, "Don't take your jealousy and madness out on an innocent wolf, Wendy. I'll leave you alone for now so you can calm down."

He then picked up Faith and carried her out of the ward.

I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth as I listened to his footsteps fade into the distance. Tears streamed down my face.

Just then, the heart rate monitor's alarm went off.

The heart rate curve on the screen fluctuated violently before it suddenly plummeted.

Ignoring my own pain, I scrambled up to my feet and dashed out into the hallway, hysterically yelling for a healer. However, the medical center was completely empty. I couldn't find a single healer or nurse.

A cleaner, who was passing by, steadied my trembling figure and said, "Ms. Chambers was feeling unwell after you attacked her. Alpha Felix summoned all the healers to her side to tend to her."

Felix looked down at me from the tip of his nose when I made it to the Alpha's exclusive ward.

"Ryan's in a critical state, Felix," I said as tears spilled down my cheeks. "Please let the healers save him. I'm begging you!"

Felix scoffed lightly. "You're quite the actor, Wendy. You're willing to involve your own pup in your schemes just to harass Faith."

I shook my head wildly. My lips trembled as I stammered, "No! Ryan can't hold on for much longer. He needs a healer now!"

"Is that so?"

Felix let go of me and rose to his feet. He then walked over to Faith and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "But Faith needs the healers too. Her stomach still hurts because you scared her earlier."

He then closed the door in my face, extinguishing my last flicker of hope.

Ryan passed away that night.

His little face had turned purple from a severe allergic reaction.

Right before he took his last breath, he opened his eyes and mustered the last bit of strength he had left to caress my face with his small, cold hand.

"Don't be sad, Mommy," he had whispered.

At the same time, the healers discovered that Faith was carrying a pup.

…

Felix pulled open the front passenger seat door when I walked over to the black Maybach.

I slipped inside and buckled my seatbelt.

"Where to?" Felix asked.

"38 Oceanview Road."

There was a small cottage on the edge of the Blackrock pack's territory. It used to be Felix's and my secret base.

The car suddenly screeched to a stop.

Felix's voice trembled when he asked, "You… You've been living there?"

I didn't answer.

Silence descended upon the car for a long time, leaving only the low hum of the engine.

Felix sighed before he started driving again.

Night had fallen by the time we made it to the cottage.

Felix unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to look at me. A long time passed before he finally asked, "Do you still hate me?"

Tears rolled down my face and dripped onto the seat when I blinked. I opened the door and got out of the car when he turned to grab a tissue for me.

Hate? That was far too weak a word to describe the unbridled loathing I felt for Felix.

"Wendy."

I didn't turn around even when Felix called out to me. I could feel his searching gaze on my back the entire time.

Excellent.

I knew that Felix would mistakenly assume that I was still hurting because I was still in love with him.

Everything was going according to plan.

I wiped the tears from my eyes after I entered the cottage.

Tears were the best weapon during certain situations.

Felix probably would've never imagined that I would ever return to this place. He also probably had no idea that I was going to take revenge on him.
