Gabriella’s POV
I woke up the next morning with a cold, my clothes still soaked, and my hair drenched as well. Luckily, I spotted a taxi and immediately hailed it to head home. I stripped off my wet clothes, took a warm bath, and bundled up in thick garments to combat the cold that had settled in. I began sneezing as well. I suppose my father either didn't notice my absence in the house or he noticed and chose to ignore me. After all, his favorite daughter is marrying my mate.
My cold worsened, causing me considerable discomfort. Fortunately, my sister entered my room, concern evident in her eyes. "Sis, you look so pale. What happened to you?" She moved towards me, inspecting my condition.
"I got caught in the rain and I think I've caught a cold," I replied, still shivering beneath my blanket.
"You silly girl, you know you're susceptible to colds when you get soaked. Why didn't you find shelter? You've worried me sick."
"I'll be fine, sister. No need to worry. You should be getting ready for your upcoming wedding," I added, my heart aching.
"The maids and event planners are handling their tasks well. My responsibility is to take care of you. You look awful. I'll call the doctor for you." She promptly left the room.
The doctor arrived, treated me, and advised me to rest after taking the prescribed medications.
With effort, I managed to get to the kitchen and prepare a cup of hot tea. Hopefully, it would provide some relief before I thanked my sister. But the cup slipped from my hand, and my father witnessed the accident. Despite my illness, he ignored my condition and scolded me for breaking the cup.
"Father, I'm sick. You should be concerned about your daughter's well-being."
"If you want me to worry about you, prove that you're worthy of being called my daughter. Until then, you're just a worthless Omega, useless to me. And this is not the time to fall ill. We're planning your sister's wedding."
"FATHER," I yelled, tears streaming down my face, but he paid no heed. I felt like a heart attack might be imminent.
My condition deteriorated daily. I heard my sister leave to try on her wedding gown, and no one else bothered to check on me. My father ordered the nurses and household staff to focus solely on my sister's wedding, neglecting my needs. It seemed they were indifferent to my well-being and perhaps even wished for my demise.
I retreated to my room, collapsing to the floor, crying my heart out. The door opened, revealing Jane, my friend, who had returned from a trip out of town. I had texted her about my illness, never expecting her to visit so soon.
"Gabby, what happened to you? You've lost so much weight and you look so pale," she inquired with genuine concern.
"Jane." I hugged her tightly, tears continuing to flow. She soothed me, rubbing my back. "Please stop crying, Gabby. I beg you. Do you want me to cry with you? Please, stop."
"It hurts, Jane. It hurts so much. My mate rejected me. He despises me. He said I'm not worthy of being Luna. Tell me, Jane, is it my fault that I can't shift into a werewolf? Why am I different? Was I born with some curse that drives people away and subjects me to ridicule?" Overwhelmed, I wept in Jane's arms like a child. She comforted me, saying, "You need to understand this truth, best friend. You're beautiful in your own way. Others might not see it, but in due time, they'll recognize your uniqueness."
"Are you just saying that to make me feel better, Jane? It's not working. I'm not special in any way. There's nothing remarkable about me."
"Come on now, have I ever belittled you? Seriously, you are special, and you don't need to prove yourself to anyone. You're Gabriella, an Omega with a heart of gold." Her words offered me a sliver of solace, and recognizing my fragile state, she advised me to rest.
Two months later, I realized I hadn't menstruated at all. It couldn't be true. I decided to take a pregnancy test to confirm. Despite experiencing pregnancy symptoms, I needed certainty. In the bathroom, I examined the result. I almost screamed upon seeing two red lines indicating a positive result. How could a simple encounter lead to immediate pregnancy? What should I do now? Revealing this to my family was out of the question; they would disown me and subject me to stigma that I'd never overcome.
The Alpha's hurtful words echoed in my mind. I regretted everything. Should I terminate the pregnancy since I'd been rejected? No, that would be morally wrong, endangering my life in the process. I needed time to figure out how to handle this situation discreetly. I couldn't let anyone discover the truth.
"Gabriella," Tracy's voice echoed, and panic surged. She couldn't find me like this. Fortunately, my door was locked.
Feeling tormented by the weight of carrying my sister's husband's child, I knew I had to act quickly to protect her from heartbreak. I whispered, "I'll join you soon, sis. I'm just taking a shower."
"Alright, sis. I can't wait for you to see my wedding gown. It's stunning."
Once she left, I turned off the shower and took a deep breath.
THE WEDDING
I donned a large gown to conceal my stomach, applied simple makeup, and headed to the wedding hall. Amid the crowd, tears welled up as I watched the groom's entrance, but I suppressed my emotions. He had rejected me, so I needed to move forward.The bride walked down the aisle, and my heart ached as I imagined myself in her place, walking beside my father. However, reality was cruel, and my father's disdain for me was unwavering. I should have never existed in this harsh world.
As the couple exchanged vows, I fought back tears. The customs proceeded, and my heart shattered with each symbolic act. The kiss was the final blow, evoking memories of the nightstand and his hurtful words. I couldn't bear it any longer. I had to leave, but with all eyes on me, I had to bide my time.
The priest declared them husband and wife, eliciting applause. When the dancing began, I slipped away. Glancing back one last time, I saw the happiness on everyone's faces. I didn't belong there. I was an outcast. It was time to start anew, away from this pack. I needed to focus on my own life and the innocent life growing within me.
Returning home, I packed my belongings. It was the best decision. I couldn't disrupt my sister's marriage. With no one present, I slipped out, my departure unnoticed amidst the wedding festivities. Rolling my luggage, I stopped a taxi, providing directions to my destination. Once at the bus station, I would head south, seeking a fresh start where no one knew my past. I hoped my baby wouldn't share my wolfless fate. Farewell, Silver Moon Pack. You won't miss me, but I'll cherish memories of you. Farewell, my beautiful twin sister. May your married life be blessed.

I have been trying to see my father but he keeps telling me my father promised to come soon and I don’t know if he is lying or not.I stayed in the room and I had no idea he followed me, “What is troubling your mind?” He asked.“Nothing at all.”“I know there is something going and too bad you don’t wish to share it with me but anyway, I will always be here for you.““Thank you so much.”I felt a strange cold and suddenly felt dizzy and I said to Nate, “I need to sleep now, good night.”“Good night my love.” He kissed me and I laid on the bed prope

I heard she is getting married to The Black Moon Pack Alpha, how is that possible?”“That’s why we are here to seek your help, Gabby is fighting us and the painful part is that she doesn’t even recognize us.”“What?

Nicklaus POV“Gabriella! Gabriella, are you there?” I called my wife's name and I didn’t get any response from her at all, I had to rush outside still looking for her but she wasn’t there.Where on earth is she? I saw a lady wearing a red dress and went after her and called her Gabriella, She never for once turned around to look at me.“Please wait for me, you are too fast.” I said trying to catch up with her and before I knew it, I lost her already and I got angry,” Are you going to leave me all alone? What about our daughter?

Why is it so quiet?“Klaus, I am waiting for you.” I heard Gabby's voice and rushed to go after her.“Where are you? Just describe the place you are and I will surely look for you, trust me.” I said and all she kept saying was Klaus, I will be waiting for you. I mana
Gabriella’s POVWe returned to the Black Moon Pack and my father welcomed us with a party saying, “We finally conquered the enemy.”“Yes, and it’s all thanks to the great Luna,” Nate said with a wink and I smiled at him.The party was going on and everyone was really happy except for me. I kept my promise but why am I not happy? Why don’t I feel fulfilled about it as well? There is something wrong with what I have done. Who was the man really? Did I kill the wrong man? Why did that little girl call me mother? I lost my child or could it be that my sister had a child for him and he is mistaking me for her?No, I shouldn’t be thinking about all these, I shouldn’t at all, Nate told me he would want to mess with my head with so many lies and this is part of it, I will not fall a victim.I will find a reason to be happy about the whole thing.I saw Silvia sneaking out and I called her, “Hey Silvia.” She stopped immediately and let out a smile.“Luna Gabby, I thought you would be inside en
Gabriella’s POV I entered the car with Nate, and his beta entered the second car but I noticed Silva wasn’t with us so I was forced to ask about her, “Where is the witch girl?”“She is at home.” He replied to me.“Isn’t she coming with us? I believe a witch should be needed as well.” I said not knowing why I said that and he held my hands saying, “Do you know you also have witch spells?”“Do I?” I got confused and he smiled.“Yes you do, I shouldn’t be saying it now but since you are yet to get back your memory I will just open up other stuff you are yet to remember.”“Please do, tell me, I can’t believe I know spells, please I want to know everything,” I said out of curiosity.“Well when you lost your baby, you went to the witches' tribe to cool down and when you learned some spells, you felt you had gotten something new and you returned back, I won’t blame you if you don’t remember any of it.”I can’t believe everything he just told me, so I really have the power to do spells.“And

Is she doing fine at the underground prison?”“Yes she is but she refused the food we served her.”“I see she wants to starve to death but I don’t care just make sure she doesn’t escape okay, now leave and attend to other matters, I will call you when I need you,” I said to him and he took his leave immediately.I gave an order for the weapon to be covered with harmful poison made by Silvia.“Alpha Nate, The Luna father wishes to see you before he leaves.”“Okay, invite him in here.”“Yes, Alpha.”I guess the meeting with his daughter that he forgot about went pretty well and I have him beneath my claws again.“Thank you, Nate, you made things easy for me.” He said.“You don’t need t
