Talia POV

"Miss, we’ve now left Turin. Where exactly do you want to go?"

The driver asked after driving for more than an hour.

"Please help me find a nearby motel," I replied.

“Sure.” He replied positively, and a few minutes later, he pulled up to a decent motel.

"Here we are."

"Could you... lend me $1,000?" I asked the driver hesitantly."This necklace is worth at least $30,000."

He looked back at me with furrowed eyes. "We had an agreement, right?!I drive you out of the city, and you give me the necklace. How can you go back on your word? Besides, just because you say it's worth $30,000 doesn’t mean it really is. Now, get out!"

His words hurt me, but I had no choice. I got out and stood in front of the motel, having no clue what to do without money.

Just then, a group of men on motorcycles pulled up at the motel entrance.

"Well, well, look what a pretty little thing we have here,” A red-bearded man said with a smirk. “ Did some guy knock you up and dump you?”

Seeing the danger, I walked away, to which he got off the bike and followed me.

Oh god, princess, look at your swollen feet. Why don’t you be my woman? I’ll take good care of you."

He let out a sharp whistle, prompting laughter from his companions.

I quickly turned and tried to run into the motel, but they blocked my way.

Before I could scream for help, a strong voice echoed. "Let go of her!"

I turned toward the voice and froze.

Carson!

He stepped between me and a bearded man, his posture confident.

"I’ll give you $10,000 if you let her go. Otherwise, I’m calling the police," Carson said, his voice firm.

The red-bearded man gave Carson a once-over. "You her husband?"

Carson didn’t answer. Instead, he pulled out his wallet and handed over all the cash he had.

"She’s just a pregnant woman. Let her go," Carson said politely, and the man ordered his group to leave.

Once freed, Carson turned to me. “Are you okay?

“Mmm…But how did you find me?” I asked curiously.

"There’s no time to explain. Get in the car. Damon’s on his way," he said, ushering me into the car.

Before I could even buckle my seatbelt, I caught sight of a black Lamborghini in the rearview mirror.

“Damon is alreay here, Carson!” Fear gripped my heart.

Carson sped off. but Damon’s car closed in even faster, and with a loud crash, his car rammed into ours.

I clung tightly to the door handle, my body drenched in cold sweat by the time Carson’s car came to a stop.

Before I could balance myself, Damon opened the door and yanked me out.

"Damon, how can you be such a bastard?! Talia is carrying your child!" Carson shouted, jumping out of the car and grabbing Damon by the collar.

But his strength couldn’t match Damon. He was just a human like me.

Damon sneered and pushed Carson to the ground with a single punch. "My child? This is probably just your excuse to protect your own."

"Alpha Damon," Abby cut in, approaching Damon with a small bag of white powder. "This was found in their car. It’s the same wolfbane that’s been used against our pack’s werewolves."

Damon sniffed the powder, his expression instantly darkening.

"I loved you so much, and yet you keep betraying me! You even conspired with your lover to harm my pack! Maybe I should’ve never trusted you malicious humans in the first place!" Damon shouted, his hand closing around my neck.

I wanted to defend myself, but I could barely breathe.

"Damon, have you lost your mind? We didn’t do anything!" Carson said, struggling to his feet and prying Damon’s hand away from my throat.

"The evidence was found in your car, and you still dare to deny it?" Damon snapped. "Abby, take them both to jail. I don’t want to see them again."

Abby nodded.

"Damon! I didn’t do anything! You have to believe me—I was framed!" I coughed and called after him as he walked away.

"Damon!"

He didn’t look back.

"This is your doing, isn’t it?!” Carson turned to Abby, his face reddened with rage. “You’re the one who framed us! You planted that wolfbane in my car.”

Abby instantly shifted into her wolf form and slashed Carson’s chest with her claws.

And before we could do anything, a police car pulled up and stopped right in front of us.

    Damon POVThe evening gala of the Bonding Mate Festival returned to normal, but the incident had become a hot topic of conversation.I ignored the chatter and kept my promise, driving Talia to see Noahva and Elias. Carson insisted on coming along, too. Although I didn’t initially want him in the car, Talia seemed to rely on him deeply and insisted that Carson accompany her. Their trust and intimacy made me uncomfortable.“Talia, I truly didn’t know Abby had done so much to hurt you. Don’t worry—I’ll make sure you get justice!” I assured her while driving.“Hmph!” Carson sneered. “No matter what you do now, it won’t erase the pain and suffering Talia has endured.”“I know. I’m sorry, Talia…” For the first time, I felt that Carson’s scolding was justified. I couldn’t refute it, and I even wished Talia would berate me, too, but she remained silent.“Talia, who is Ava’s father?” I couldn’t help but wonder if it was Carson.“This has nothing to do with you!” Talia seemed unwilling to say.A

    Damon POVCarson arrived just as I was at a loss for getting these werewolf guards to submit.Wait—why is he holding a little girl in his arms?“Ava! Carson!” Upon seeing him, Talia immediately rushed over and hugged the little girl.“Mommy!” The girl wrapped her arms around Talia’s neck.She called Talia “Mommy”? Is this Talia’s daughter? Can she be Carson and Talia’s child? Are they really together now?A flood of questions overwhelmed my mind, but Carson and Abby’s argument dragged me back to reality before I could make sense of it all.“Well, Talia, you even brought reinforcements! You’re really something—able to enchant all these men into willingly helping you!” Abby sneered.“Of course, we all like a kind and beautiful woman like Talia. Unlike you—no matter how hard you throw yourself at men, no one would ever want you!” Carson retorted with biting sarcasm.“You—” Abby was so furious she couldn’t speak while some guests laughed mockingly.“You wanted evidence? Here it is!” Carson

    Damon POVI stared at Abby, feeling as if I was looking at a stranger. The Abby I once knew was honest, brave, and loyal—never someone who would resort to such despicable methods to harm others.I locked my eyes with her, and in them, I saw panic. That trace of panic confirmed what I had suspected: she had used my phone to send messages to Talia.And if what Talia said was true, she even dared to…Oh, god, no! I mind-linked my wolf. "Did I really get drunk last night and do those things with Abby? I don’t remember anything.""After we came back from the Bonding Mate Festival, I passed out completely. I don’t know anything either," my wolf replied."That’s impossible. Werewolf wolves can’t get drunk. How could you have passed out?"There was only one explanation—Abby had poisoned me with wolfsbane!I stepped forward, grabbing Abby by the throat.“How dare you deceive me! You even poisoned me with wolfsbane! Why did you do it?” I roared.“Alpha Damon, I didn’t! Don’t believe Talia! Have

    Talia POVThe man hurriedly dressed and left the room.I didn’t care what had happened between Damon and Abby, nor was I interested. What truly worried me was this: if Abby hated me so much, did she hate Noah and Elias, too?If she and Damon were to marry in the future, would she treat my children well?A thought quietly sprouted in my mind—perhaps I should take them away.I silently picked up the broken robot from the floor, which Damon noticed, and walked over to me. “Did you buy this for Noah and Elias?” he asked.I nodded.“Noah loves wolves, but Elias seems to like Godzilla more. He always says Godzilla is the strongest, much stronger than werewolves,” Damon said with a slight smile.“Really?” Hearing Damon talk about Noah and Elias lightened my heavy mood a little.“Yes. Let me take you to get new gifts for them.” Damon helped me up.But when his hand brushed against my waist, I recoiled as if I’d been shocked.On the way to the toy store, Carson’s video call came in.“Talia, ar

I caught a glimpse of Damon standing in the doorway, his eyes blazing with a fury I had never seen before.Without a word, Damon charged forward, grabbed the man, and yanked him off me. “How dare you!” Damon roared.The man struggled, but Damon showed no mercy. With terrifying strength, he lifted him and slammed him against the wall.Gasping for air, I struggled to sit up on the bed, my body trembling uncontrollably.Damon turned toward me, his gaze softening as he stepped closer.“Talia…” he said breathlessly. “What are you doing here?”“What am I doing here? Didn’t you arrange all of this?

    Talia POVThe next day, I went to a shopping mall early to buy toys for Noah and Elias. However, I realized I didn’t know what they liked. Then, it struck me that I could never compensate for the lost time and missed moments. Following the salesperson’s recommendation, I bought two transforming werewolf robots. I didn’t know if they’d like them. I’m not even sure if they would shift when they came of age. They were half-human. Worries and guilt consumed me to the point that I even questioned whether meeting them was a good idea. I had been absent from their lives since the beginning—what right did I have to expect them to call me "Mom"?Anxiously, I waited in my hotel room until the afternoon, then took a taxi to the hotel Damon texted. My heart pounded in my chest as I stood outside Room 302. After years of yearning and wishing for the chance to hold them, I was finally going to see them again. Unable to contain my excitement, I pushed open the slightly ajar door—only to find the
