My Mate's Regret After I Faked My Death

On the day of our engagement, my Alpha mate mistakenly thought that my mom had seduced his dad and almost killed his mom, so he canceled our ceremony and forced me, who was eight months pregnant, to jump into the silver pit.

Everyone envied me, a commoner wolf, for being mated to the Alpha heiress of Sterling Pack.

But three years ago on my engagement day with my mate Kane, rogue wolves attacked the pack, and Kane's father—the pack's Alpha—never showed up.

Kane's mother was severely injured blocking a rogue wolf's silver dagger attack to save Kane. She's been in a coma for three years.

After driving off the rogue wolves, Kane finally found his father in a hotel room—holding my mother as they lay on the bed together. Both had been drugged with excessive amounts of aphrodisiac and fell into deep comas.

Although extremely angry, Kane still sent them to the healing den, but for some reason, they never woke up again.

Three days later, Kane's father died from failed treatment, while my mother survived but remains unconscious to this day.

Everyone spread rumors that my mother and I had planned from the beginning to seduce the Sterling Alpha father and son.

The older one seduced the older, the younger seduced the younger, all for the Sterling pack fortune.

"Why did your mother seduce my father! Now one's dead and one's injured—are you satisfied?!"

Kane knelt beside his mother's hospital bed, his eyes red from crying. No matter how much I tried to explain, his eyes held nothing but towering hatred.

He wanted to skin us mother and daughter alive, but just then I was discovered to be pregnant.

I cried and begged Kane to let me keep this child—at least the child was innocent.

Kane forced me to jump into the silver pit. Only if the child survived could it be born.

I jumped. To protect my child, my wolf was burned alive by the silver and died. From then on, I became an Omega.

Until the day of birth, I hemorrhaged severely and fought for my life to deliver a baby boy.

That day I lay weakly on the operating table while Kane held the child and said coldly to me:

"Your mother caused my father's death. My mother has been in a coma for years and still hasn't awakened. Since you insisted on giving birth, use this child to atone for your sins. I'll make him the pack's Alpha heir. As for you, I'll tell him you're the murderer who killed his mother. You're never allowed to see him. I want you to taste what it's like to lose family too."

From that day on, for three years, I've been doing the most menial work in the pack for the sake of my child and my mother who lies unconscious in the hospital.

Endless torment makes me wish I could die every day.

Fortunately, Kane hasn't directed his hatred toward little Finn.

Seeing my son live well, I can finally feel at ease. Even if my mother truly was guilty, the torment Kane has inflicted on me should have been enough to repay everything.

These years I've secretly saved money and submitted an application to revoke my pack membership. In another half month, I'll be able to take my mother and leave this place.

Today is my son's third birthday. Thinking about leaving forever soon, I still can't help but sneak a look at my son.

Coming to the banquet hall, I don't see my son anywhere. I secretly go to his room, but unexpectedly see Kane's childhood sweetheart Sage alone in the room with my son.

Sage is the daughter of a neighboring pack's Alpha. She grew up with Kane, and everyone once thought they were destined mates.

No one expected that after awakening his wolf, Kane would announce to everyone that I, a commoner wolf, was his only mate.

When Sage learned this news, she wanted to tear me apart, but Kane would rather break ties with the neighboring pack than protect me.

Until what happened at the engagement banquet changed everything.

"Baby, this is the moonberry cake Auntie made specially for you. Do you like it?" Sage takes out a cartoon cake to tempt my son, a flash of viciousness in her eyes.

My son's eyes light up as he cheers, "Auntie is the best! Daddy never lets me eat moonberry cake!"

My heart fills with desperate anxiety. Kane doesn't let our son eat moonberry cake because he's been severely allergic to moonberries since childhood. He once went into shock from accidentally eating moonberries as a small child.

My son doesn't remember this incident, but Sage knows! She deliberately wants to kill my son!

Watching as Sage is about to feed the cake into my son's mouth, I can't hold back anymore and rush forward to knock the cake away.

Seeing the overturned cake, Sage's face darkens.

My son immediately shows disgust on his face. "You bitch who killed my mother, you're just an Omega slave, how dare you knock over the cake Aunt Sage made for me personally!"

Little Finn pounces on me, biting and hitting. My slender arms are quickly bitten bloody.

But I can't bear to push Finn away, afraid of accidentally hurting him.

For three whole years, there hasn't been a day I haven't missed my son.

I don't blame Finn, because in his eyes, I'm just the pack's most lowly Omega slave and also a sinner of the Sterling family.

"Daddy!"

The door behind me is pushed open. Kane in a suit and tie walks in. Seven years have passed, and he still carries himself with the same noble bearing as before.

The moment he sees me, Kane's eyes contain uncontrollable fury.

"What are you doing here? Who let you come!"

I lower my head. "Today is my son's birthday. And Sage..."

But before I can speak, Sage immediately leans into Kane's embrace, pretending to wipe tears sadly. "Kane... I personally made a cake for little Finn, wanting to celebrate his birthday, but I don't know why she suddenly appeared and knocked it over... I spent ten hours making this. Does Aria not allow me to get close to Finn..."

"What right does she have to not allow you near Finn? Her son? Someone like her deserves to have a son?!"

Kane must have been drinking. His whole body still carries the smell of unscattered alcohol. He fiercely grabs my neck and drags me upstairs. The door opens and I'm thrown hard to the ground, my forehead hitting the bed frame and instantly bruising.

I carefully lift my eyes. Lying on the bed is Kane's mother.

Her whole body is connected to machines, and the heart monitor beeps steadily.

"Do you see? Thanks to you and your mother, my mother has been lying here for three years, and you still want a mother-son reunion!"

"What about us then? How are my mother and son supposed to reunite!"
