Chapter 4

Author: Liora
As I sat on the bed at the private healing center, I listened to my best friend, Lara Oberlin, whispering beside me.

A few seconds later, she was done and turned to me. "Don't worry. It's all arranged. Everything will go exactly as you planned."

I gave a slight nod, my voice calm. "Okay."

Just then, David knocked and entered. He held a medical chart in his hand, and his expression was very somber.

"Diana," he said solemnly. "I need to confirm your decision one last time before the procedure."

He opened the file and looked up at me, his tone carrying extra weight. "The pup is nearly full term. Terminating the pregnancy at this stage will cause significant harm to your body… It wasn't easy for you to conceive this pup either. Are you absolutely sure about this?"

I met his gaze, my eyes steady and unwavering as I replied, "I'm sure."

He hesitated a little before asking, "Don't you have any family here with you?"

With me?

I let out a soft, bitter laugh.

    Nate tried to say something else, but Rose cut him off indignantly, "You're protecting her now?"Her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Nate, her face contorted with utter hate. "You were always on my side! You said you'd help me! What changed?"Nate let out a bitter smile, his voice thick with pain. "Rose… I've been wrong all these years. Why can't you just let go?""Let go?" Rose laughed, manic and sharp. "Why should I let go? I only did what you did first! You lied to her and used her for my sake. And now I'm the one who's gone too far?"Her gaze turned increasingly mad as she sneered, "Are you regretting it now? That's too bad. Diana doesn't want you anymore! She's long done with you!"A flicker of agony crossed Nate's face, his pupils constricted like he'd just been dealt the final blow. He understood far too late how foolish and disgraceful his choices had been.However, I no longer cared about anything that had to do with them.I looked at Nate and said calmly, "The amb

    I expected Rose to have learned her lesson after all that. Yet, she took things even further.One day, Lara sent me a link and said with disgust, "Look at this. She really has no shame."I looked down at my phone screen.It was a viral forum post with a bolded title, "She Took Everything From Me Since We Were Pups!"In the post, Rose spun a tale of woe and victimhood. She claimed I had bullied her as we grew up, accusing me of using my status as the eldest daughter to bully her and take away all the good things for myself. She went on to say that I was calculating and often put on a gentle front while forcing her to back down behind the scenes. Rose even said I'd stolen her fated mate by coercing our parents. She then accused me of leveraging my rediscovered royal identity to retaliate, causing her to be rejected by her mate and pack, thereby effectively ruining her reputation and life.She coated every word of her sob story with vicious accusations, twisting everything around

    Of course, Rose's pup wasn't hers at all.No one knew where she had found that pup, but she tried to pass it off as her own… until the test results exposed everything.She and the pup were thrown out of the pack mercilessly without even a strip of jerky.Once the pride of her family and the darling of the pack, Rose didn't even have a place to sleep now. She stumbled back to the Roth residence pitifully with reddened eyes and was on the verge of breaking down. As soon as she pushed the door open, she cried out, "Dad! Mom! You have to help me!"However, she was met with heavy silence.Inside, Charlie and Elle sat stiffly on the stone bench, their faces grim. The home that was once filled with flowers and herbs now felt colder than midwinter.Charlie held a snapped branch in his hand, his eyes dark and terrifying. Elle looked exhausted and furious. It seemed as though she'd aged a decade overnight.Rose felt that something was off. Nevertheless, she rushed forward and whined, "D

    Rose's face was drained of color, and her lips trembled uncontrollably. She opened her mouth, wanting to deny it.However, her in-laws weren't fools. They had already sensed something was wrong. Her strange behavior and my pointed remark had already planted a seed of doubt in their minds.Jess spoke up slowly with a frown, her voice heavy with suspicion. "Rose… Is that pup really yours?""Of course it is! How could you even ask me that?" Rose's voice cracked with panic. She clutched the pup in her arms tightly, holding on to it as if it might be snatched away the moment she loosened her grip. She was too nervous and defensive, which only made things look worse.Michael's expression turned cold and grim. His tone left no room for argument. "We'll run a blood test tomorrow."Rose's legs buckled slightly. Her face was now ashen.At last, Nate spoke. He had stood off to the side all this time, his expression shifting constantly. His brows were tightly knitted, as though he was only

    I had barely taken a few steps when a tight, unforgiving hand clamped down hard on my wrist.A familiar, shrill voice pierced through the air.It was Mom. Her voice was filled with white-hot rage as she scolded, "You cursed wretch! You couldn't even keep your own pup, and now you're here to ruin Rose's moment? She finally gave her husband a pup, and you show up today of all days to stir up trouble? You're vile and vicious!"We already severed our ties and banished you from this family! And you still have the nerve to come back and embarrass us in public, you bitch?"The more she shouted, the more venomous her words became. Her voice tore through the entire banquet hall, and all conversation ceased as every guest turned to stare. The atmosphere became tense.Nate stepped forward, too, with a slight frown. "Diana, that's enough. Stop making a scene," he warned in a low tone.I looked at him frostily. Who was he trying to quiet? Was this his way of telling me to stay silent? T

    In the weeks that followed, I recovered quickly both physically and mentally. The official decree to break the mate bond came through, and it was soon done—Nate and I were no longer bound.I didn't feel anything in particular. It was like waking from a nightmare that had dragged on too long. My mind was clear, and my heart was finally still.I was really, truly free now.After that, I headed straight for the largest branch of the Resource Alliance in the northern region.This time, I wasn't anyone's mate. I wasn't the daughter of the Roth family. I wasn't the Luna who looked glamorous but was always treated as disposable.I was just myself. I was going to carve my own path in this werewolf world with my own claws and on my own terms.As I stepped into the towering building, a graceful, poised she-wolf in an elegant forest-green formal dress caught my eye from across the lobby.She looked at me and froze for a moment. Then, her gaze softened with something that seemed like a se
