Chapter 6

Author: Shearheart
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in the grounds of a rival pack.

A man was keeping watch by the bed. It was the Alpha of the Moonfrost pack, Ray Hammond.

I had heard of him before. He was far stronger than Ethan and was known for being calm and reserved in his ways.

He placed a mug of warm water in my hands. "Your fever just receded, and you're extremely weak right now. You need to rest for a while longer."

My head felt heavy, and I hadn't quite wrapped my head around what was hap

    The night air felt cool on my skin when Ray sent me home.He tilted his head to look at me. "After going through all that, do you regret anything?"I put on a relieved smile. "It's exactly because I survived a brush with death in the cave that I realized something. Even without depending on anyone, I can still live a peaceful and steady life on my own."Ray nodded. "Your resilience is one of a kind. It's also the reason I risked my life to enter the collapsed cave and rescue you. The infirmary here in the Moonfrost pack has always needed helping hands. I have the utmost respect for your abilities."I looked up at him, feeling a hint of tenderness radiating from a corner of my frozen heart.After the near-death experience, I no longer needed anyone to prove that I was worthy of being loved.For the rest of my life, I was willing to let go of my past and focus solely on my work.During the day, I treated the wounded at the infirmary and organized records of various injuries and il

  • Crushed Beneath My Alpha's Betrayal   Chapter 7

    Ray didn't completely hide all traces of me. Following the scattered clues, the Mason family eventually found me.The door was slammed open, and Mom was the first to barge in.The moment she saw me, her eyes instantly reddened.Dad followed behind her, his back severely hunched.Ethan was the last to enter. His eyes were bloodshot, and he had an air of anxiety around him.I remained calm as I looked indifferently at them. "What brings you here?"Mom took a step forward, tears streaming down her face as she spoke in a voice choked with regret. 'Cecilia, I'm so sorry. Back when the cave collapsed, I wasn't thinking straight and believed Alicia's lies. I'm sorry I didn't believe you! I'm drowning in regret right now. Can you please forgive me?"Dad spoke up as well. His voice was hoarse and bitter as he said with self-reproach, "Back when you kept crying for help, instead of sending someone to rescue you, I scolded you for being stubborn and acting up. I was so foolish back then! I

In my daze, I kept feeling like I had died under the rubble.My throat was parched, and I said in a hoarse voice, "I'm… still alive?"Ray nodded. His tone was calm as he explained, "I was the one who saved you from the depths of the cave with my pack members. The priest forged a fake corpse for you through magic. When you arrived at the infirmary, the pup in your womb was gone, but fortunately, you survived."I was silent for a long while. Then, I put on a bitter smile. "Thank you."

    In the infirmary late at night, the whole family was gathered around Alicia's cot to take care of her.The door was slammed open, and a warrior covered in dust hurriedly barged into the room.He had a video recorder in his hand as he strode up to Ethan, reporting, "Alpha! The west cave collapsed, and we found a pregnant woman under the rubble! Judging by her belongings, we've surmised that this victim… is your future mate, Ms. Cecilia Mason!"The warrior had just finished speaking when the room fell deathly silent.My parents and Ethan were instantly frozen on the spot, and the color drained from their faces.A subtle look of glee flashed across Alicia's eyes, but she quickly put on a panicked expression.She held Ethan's arm, making sure to sound flustered as she said, "But… Could it be someone else with the same name as Cecilia? There are always tons of pack members going in and out of the caves. It might be a coincidence, right?"Mom was trembling from head to toe as she snat

    But just then, Alicia leaned in and exclaimed in shock, "Cecilia! Why are you bleeding so much?"She blinked innocently. "Wait, I've seen how pack members process the game from the hunts. The blood pooled just like this. Hold on, could it be?"The emotion completely disappeared from Ethan's expression. He looked at me, his gaze filled with disappointment and detachment. "Cecilia, how are you so reluctant to accept Alicia? She was traumatized in the basement, but you're still playing dirty tricks just to compete with her for attention! I'm disappointed in you!"I was just getting hopeful, but in that instant, all my hopes were dashed.Immense hatred and despair filled my heart. "Ethan, why do you trust Alicia so blindly when you won't even believe me for once? I'm your future mate! I'm even pregnant with your pup! "I'm a mother, so why would I possibly joke about my own pup? If I actually lied, just hand me over to the elders of the pack for judgment! But what if I'm telling the t

    But it started caving in again, and gravel instantly filled up the small space I had just dug out.I slowly sank into despair.Just when I couldn't bear it anymore, a video call invite from my parents suddenly popped up on the communicator.My eyes lit up, and I trembled as I accepted the invite.But when the video came through, I froze on the spot.Instead of my parents, the person who had appeared on the screen was Alicia.I was covered in dust and barely breathing, but she just looked at me. Then, she curved her lips into a mocking smile as she cut the mic.I could see the warm and well-lit room on my screen, but they could no longer hear my wails and cries for help.Mom was holding Alicia's hand while Dad stooped over and gave Alicia some herb tea.Noticing Alicia's creased eyebrows, Ethan softened his voice and comforted her.Ethan was treating her with such careful and cherishing gentleness. The tenderness was something he had never shown me in our three years together.
