Chapter 3

It turned out that after waking up, Leo lost his mind and would talk nonsense. He kept mumbling that the Moon Goddess wanted to take his life.

Ethan then invited the witch, who said that he needed to deliver the most precious and powerful item to the designated location at the bottom of the river to retrieve Leo's lost soul from the Moon Goddess.

Thus, they thought of me once again.

After hearing that, Alva trembled all over with rage. She pointed at my blood-soaked wrist. "Alpha Ethan, the Luna has already injured one of her hands to save him. By asking her to go into the river again, aren't you sending her to her death?"

Only then did Ethan turn his gaze to my wound. Shock and a hint of guilt flashed across his eyes. "Is your hand really injured? I thought it was a lie Lily deliberately told to trick me into coming to see you..."

I was so angry that I just wanted to laugh. It turned out that he had never taken Lily's words to heart.

Seeing Ethan's wavering expression, Serafina began to fan the flames again. "I know some basic healing techniques. Judging from the Luna's wound, she seems to have injured it herself with force. Ethan, it's terrifying that she would hurt herself like that just to make you change your mind."

Hearing that, Ethan leaned over and carefully examined my wrist. When he looked up again, Serafina's words twisted the guilt in his eyes into anger. He shoved me against the wall.

"Clara, you're truly unscrupulous, doing just about anything to gain favor! I tolerated your harmless little tricks in the past. I thought you'd tone it down, but you've gone even further!"

The remaining rationality in his eyes was swallowed by jealousy and misunderstanding. He lifted the sleeping Lily from her bed and threatened in a trembling voice, "Isn't it just an injured hand? It won't affect your swimming! Go now, or you'll never see Lily again!"

With that said, Ethan tossed me the moonstone pendant inlaid with the Alpha's family crest that he always wore. "The witch says this moonstone embodies the pack's fortune and is extremely valuable. Take it and place it where Leo fell into the river."

I examined the pendant and could not help but scoff. "Ethan, why is an Alpha's personal token needed to redeem Leo's soul? Have you never thought about it?"

Ethan's face was filled with confusion. "What do you mean by that?"

Maria had personally polished that pendant for him. Remembering her kindness, I decided to give Ethan one last chance. "If you still love me, put it away. No matter what Serafina and her brother ask for, don't give it to them! Otherwise, you'll regret it forever!"

Serafina grew anxious.

"Ethan, don't listen to her instigation! We're just ordinary Omegas, and you're a powerful Alpha. What can we do to you? We just want to survive! If anything happens to my brother, I won't be able to live either!"

Thinking of how Serafina had died from grief in his previous life, Ethan made up his mind. The struggle in his eyes was overshadowed by guilt. "Clara, I owe Serafina too much. You're the only one I love, and I only see her as a friend. Do as I say! Whatever happens in the future, I will bear the consequences alone!"

Seeing his stubbornness, I sighed heavily. "Okay."

I had done my best. Since he chose destruction, he could not blame me.

Ethan hurriedly prepared other sacrificial offerings, leaving Serafina and me alone in the room.

She did not bother pretending anymore and had a smug sneer on her face. "Clara, you can't beat me. I'll soon get everything you and Ethan owe me!"

I looked at her calmly. "If I had refused to go into the water yesterday, your lover would've died. I injured my hand saving him. Is that enough to settle our score? Today, I can help you one more time and complete your carefully planned trap, but you have to agree to one condition."

Serafina sneered, "You really do know everything. Tell me, what's the condition?"

I answered calmly, "The dissolution of my mate bond with Ethan and the severance of Lily's bloodline with him will take effect tomorrow. By then, we'll have no further ties to the Glory Pack. I hope you and your lover will stop bothering us."
