Chapter 2

Not long after, Lilith probably felt that it was not enough. She called over renovation workers to completely redesign the house.

Lilith was wearing my nightie and acted as if she were the mistress of the house, directing the workers.

Fenris was taken aback by the sight when he returned. He realized that the last of my existence in the house was about to be wiped out.

When the workers were about to enter my beloved study, Fenris stopped them. "Lilith, not this room."

She quickly put on a pitiful look, and tears welled in her eyes.

"Fenris, I know that I don't have much time left. I bought so many new clothes that I haven't had the chance to try them on. I'd like to wear them. Can't I turn this study into my wardrobe?"

There was a flash in Fenris' eyes. He was clearly about to give in to her. "But… Selene has always done her work in there…"

"Alright. How about turning the storeroom downstairs into her study?" Lilith showed how 'understanding' she was by giving in.

She quickly pressed her hand to her chest and put on a painful expression. "If only I weren't cursed. I would have a long time to live, and I wouldn't need to put you on the spot. How fortunate that I'm the one who was cursed, and not you."

"Alright… I'll do anything you want." Fenris' heart ached for her. He pulled her into his arms.

I could see the cunning smile on Lilith's face clearly.

That was how my study, which I had taken a lot of effort to design, became Lilith's luxurious wardrobe.

The project documents, notes, and all my effort, which I treasured with my life, were unceremoniously chucked into the dark, wet storeroom like they were garbage.

"Take this away! Throw that away too! That's right! Throw them into the storeroom!" Lilith gave the orders arrogantly.

A can of paint was overturned, and the sticky liquid destroyed all of my books instantly. No one thought it was a problem.

Even Fenris stood stiffly by the side to watch all of this silently. He should have known better. He knew that I had always struggled with my parents' unfairness since I was young. He knew that I had always wanted to prove myself with all my heart.

My greatest dream was to become the Beta of the Pack and lead us all to the peak.

To achieve this goal, I had locked myself in my study for many sleepless nights to work out numerous plans. Each one of them was precious like my child.

However, Fenris had destroyed all of them over a few insincere lies from Lilith.

It felt like a hole was torn in my heart. The pain of my soul being torn apart was so intense that I could hardly take it.

Fenris had claimed to love and cherish me. It was all nothing but a joke.

…

A few days later, Fenris arrived at the Pack Affairs Office.

His face fell instantly when he saw the documents heaped high on the table. They were supposed to be handled by me, but nothing had been touched.

Fenris thought I was throwing a tantrum and failed to consider the bigger picture. He probably thought that he was just trying to fulfill Lilith's dying wish, and I had no right to be acting stubbornly.

He took out his cellphone to call me. Naturally, no one picked up the call.

After that, he tried to contact me with our mind-link but could not sense where I was.

How ironic. He had never marked me before. How could he sense me? He did not even know I was dead.

"You've crossed the line, Selene!" he roared. The mountain of documents had delayed the progress of his plan.

Fenris swept all the documents to the floor in great anger.

"Don't be mad, Fenris." Lilith walked into the office at the right moment. She said sweetly, "I can do anything Selene can. Let me help you."

She bent over to pick up the documents from the floor and pretended to flip through them.

A complicated look flashed in Fenris' eyes when he saw Lilith busying herself with the documents. He seemed to come to a decision as he clenched his teeth and said, "Alright. If things are going to be this way, you should take over Selene's position."

Fenris announced my resignation and appointed Lilith to take over my post as his right-hand woman.

Lilith did not miss any chance to seduce Fenris. The moment the office doors closed, she took off her coat by claiming she felt too hot.

All she was wearing under her coat was an almost transparent lacey camisole. Her luscious breasts were almost pouring out of it, and they caught Fenris' attention instantly.

It was not surprising to see what was left of Fenris' pitiful willpower broken down almost immediately by Lilith's attempt at seduction.

They tore at each other's clothes as they grabbed each other passionately on the office table.

I almost threw up from the deep sense of disgust. If a look could tear them into a million pieces, my stare would have already killed them. I touched my flat belly without realizing it. There used to be a life created by me and Fenris living in there. But that little life could no longer see the world.

I guess I should feel lucky about it. Fenris was not good enough to be a father, after all.
