"Yes, I don't just hate you, I despise you. The sight of you makes me physically sick. So get as far away from me as possible, understand?" My voice was steady, each word precise and cutting.Ethan collapsed to his knees before me, tears streaming down his face. His proud demeanor completely shattered.I looked down at him calmly, feeling nothing but emptiness inside."Ethan, when I married you, I truly believed we would spend our lives together. But what did you do? For Sarah's sake, you terminated my pregnancies one after another, watching my body grow weaker day by day, allowing me to endure the mockery of your mother and others.""Even then, I begged you. I begged you not to make me drink that pregnancy tonic, but you forced me anyway.""I never cared about being the Alpha Female. Whether you were wealthy or not meant nothing to me. I would have even given up my position as your wife if you'd just told me the truth. I would have taken our child and disappeared, never getting in you
With the truth exposed, Sarah had no defense and could only beg through her tears:"Ethan, I—I had no choice. The witch I consulted said that only by consuming those... could I give birth to an Alpha pup. Only an Alpha pup would secure my position. I was truly desperate." Her voice trembled as she clutched at his sleeve, her eyes wide with fear."Enough!" Ethan roared, yanking his arm away from her grasp. His eyes flashed with a dangerous yellow glow. "All you care about is your position, your status as Alpha Female. Did you ever think about Aria?! Why did you tell her I was the one who gave our children to you? Wasn't it just to force her to leave me, so I would become your devoted follower?!"Sarah backed away, her hand protectively covering her swollen belly. "You don't understand, Ethan. Alexander would have cast me aside if I couldn't give him an heir. I needed something powerful, something with strong blood—""You wanted to have a son, to become the Alpha Female? Sarah, I'll make
By this time, I had already reached the Shadow Pack territory.On our journey back, Derek had listened to my complete story.Derek was so enraged that his fangs extended, ready to charge toward the Silver Crest Pack to confront Ethan and Sarah in a fight to the death.I held him back:"Derek, I've already left the mate dissolution papers and reported their actions to the Alpha Council. They will pay for what they've done. Just wait and see."Derek embraced me with concern in his eyes:"It's better that you left that worthless male. Otherwise, who knows when he might have killed you without anyone knowing. Let him be moon-bound with that bitch Sarah. Look, all our pack members have been waiting for you to return as our Alpha Female."Bitterness welled up inside me.Years ago, my parents had died in a rogue wolf attack, leaving me and my adoptive brother Derek behind. I knew Derek had feelings for me since childhood, but I couldn't reciprocate because the pack would not accept such a rel
On my way to the border, Ethan called again."I'm sorry, Aria. Some Alpha representatives from neighboring packs suddenly showed up to discuss next quarter's healing crystal gem cooperation. I can't get away.""I'll have my beta pick you up and take you to the restaurant. Didn't you always want me to design a ruby amulet for you? I've finally created one. The power will suit you perfectly.""Okay, sure," I replied flatly.After hanging up, my attention fell on two young she-wolves nearby.They were huddled around a phone, looking at photos and exclaiming with envy:"Oh my goddess, not only is Alpha Ethan handsome, but his healing crystal designs for pregnant wolves are incredible too. I almost want to get pregnant just to wear one.""You think you could get one even if you were pregnant? All the crystals in today's exhibition were specially crafted by Alpha Ethan for his pregnant sister-in-law. Each piece is unique, infused with the rarest energies. There must be hundreds of gems—proba
I always knew Victoria disliked me.She saw me as the woman Alexander rejected who then latched onto her son, embarrassing Ethan.Her disgust only grew with each of my miscarriages.But because she was Ethan's mother, and because I believed my lost pregnancies were my fault, I felt guilty.And since Ethan used to defend me, I always tolerated her behavior.Now, with Ethan busy fawning over Sarah, who would remember my existence?Victoria continued berating me relentlessly. This time, I refused to endure it. I stood up and said directly:"I heard you seduced the Alpha into an affair and gave birth to Ethan, which is how you became the current Alpha Female. Is it because you're naturally a homewrecker that you prefer Sarah, another homewrecker?"I looked at her with utter contempt and said: "You Omegas are truly pathetic."Victoria's face flushed red. Her finger trembled as she pointed at me, unable to form a single word.I turned away, pulling out my phone to send Derek a message: "Come
Early the next morning, my eyes were swollen like walnuts.Ethan was beside himself with concern. He personally prepared a nutritious meal for me, then brought an ice pack to reduce the swelling.His attentive and caring demeanor almost made me doubt whether last night's discovery had been just a dream.But my empty womb reminded me that everything was real.Seeing I wouldn't touch my food, he sighed:"Aria, I know you're heartbroken about losing our baby. I'm devastated too. But you need to take care of yourself. All these miscarriages over the years have weakened you. Please eat something. Don't make me worry, okay?""Where are the bodies of our previous children? I want to see them."Five years, five miscarriages. The last few times, I had carried them to six months. The pups were fully formed but never got the chance to come into this world.I had always been too heartbroken to look at them before. But now that I knew their father had deliberately killed them, I wanted to see my ch
