Chapter 2

Auteur: Crispy Coco
"Carys! How could you not tell me!"

Two days later, Chloe's voice cracked like a whip across the café. Her silver eyes flashed with her wolf's fury.

"You wait until now to tell me something this huge!"

I sat across from her, a small warmth spreading through my chest as I watched my best friend lose her mind on my behalf.

"That bastard Ryker!" Her voice rose. "I always said he was going crazy for his so-called 'strong bloodline'!"

Other customers started to stare.

"Chloe, keep your voice down."

"Quiet? Screw quiet!" She slammed her hand on the table. "It's not enough that he let that bitch move into your home? Now he's humiliating you in public!"

She shot to her feet, her wolf's presence growing stronger.

"I'm going to rip him apart right now!"

"It's okay." I quickly grabbed her hand, a weary smile on my face. "I don't care anymore."

Chloe froze, her eyes instantly turning red.

"How could you not care!" Her voice trembled. "You were mated for ten years! I saw how much pain you went through for him!"

She was right.

Every time Ryker was with another woman, the mate bond sent waves of soul-crushing agony through me. I would curl up on the bathroom floor, biting a towel to keep from screaming.

"You think I didn't see you on all those painful nights?" Chloe's tears started to fall. "Every time I wanted to kill him, you told me to wait, to just hold on a little longer."

Seeing the look on my face, she quickly wiped her tears.

"Fine, let's not talk about it."

Watching my friend fight for me, my nose began to sting. For ten years, she was the only one who stood by my side.

"Chloe." I said softly, placing her hand on my lower stomach. "I'm going to be a mother."

Chloe's eyes widened, and her face went pale.

"You're keeping Ryker's cub?" she practically screamed. "Carys, are you insane!"

Everyone in the café turned to look at us.

"It's not his," I clarified quickly.

Chloe's expression shifted from shock to confusion.

"Not his? Then who—"

Just as I was about to say Kian's name, the door to the restaurant's VIP room swung open.

Ryker walked out with his arm around Lorelei.

The woman was dressed in an expensive white dress, her stomach showing a slight swell. She was leaning against him, cooing.

"Ryker, the cub is kicking again. He must be so excited to feel his Alpha father."

Her voice was so sickeningly sweet it made me want to gag.

Chloe saw them, and pure rage ignited in her eyes.

She stood up abruptly and grabbed her glass of red wine.

"Chloe, no—"

But before I could finish, she was moving.

Splash.

The red wine hit her white dress like a spray of blood.

"Who the hell do you think you are, carrying an Alpha's child!"

Lorelei shrieked and immediately hid behind Ryker.

"Ryker, she's crazy!"

Ryker's face darkened as he shielded Lorelei.

"Chloe, what are you doing!"

"What am I doing?" Chloe sneered. "I'm teaching a shameless little bitch a lesson!"

Lorelei started to cry, looking pitiful. "I know this must be hard for you," she purred. "After all, being unable to give your Alpha an heir... to feel the joy of a cub connected to his bloodline in your womb... it's the greatest failure for a Luna. Ryker was only doing what was best for the pack. He had no choice but to... set you aside."

Her words were a knife straight to my heart.

Chloe was completely enraged. Lorelei wasn't just flaunting her pregnancy; she was using the "joy of motherhood" to define my "failure."

"Listen here, you little bitch!" she snarled, pointing a finger at Lorelei's face. "He has a Luna! What you're doing is called homewrecking! It's shameless!"

Lorelei clutched her stomach and burrowed deeper into Ryker's arms.

Ryker, finally snapping back to reality, shoved Chloe away.

His eyes were filled with a biting cold. "Chloe, watch your place! Carys is my Luna, and Lorelei is carrying my heir. You, an outsider, have no right to interfere."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over me before he added coldly, "And you have no right to disrespect the mother of my child."

Chloe's face went white at his words.

My own face hardened, and I stood to stop him.

But then I heard Lorelei’s tearful voice add the final blow. "Besides," she added, her voice dripping with fake sympathy, "if Ryker hadn't taken pity on you, how could a... defect... like you ever be Luna?"

    "Does he know you don't even have basic wolf instincts?" Ryker's voice echoed through the garden, dripping with venom. "Does he know you're broken goods?" he sneered. "A defective wolf?"I turned back to face the man I once loved.Now he was just a cornered beast, his eyes filled with nothing but desperation and malice."Ryker," I laughed softly, my voice terrifyingly calm. "I would rather die than go back with you.""You don't understand!" he yelled. "Only I can accept your flaws!""Only I know your secret and still want you!""What about him?" He pointed at Kian. "When he finds out you're a worthless, broken thing, do you think he'll still want you?"He took a step toward Kian, a mad glint in his eyes."You want to know just how broken your woman is?""Ten years ago, she was badly injured. Her inner wolf died completely—""Enough."Kian's cold voice cut him off.A fire was burning in his amber eyes."You're using her trauma as a weapon," Kian’s voice was dangerously low. "Is that wha

    Carys's POVI smiled as I listened to her ramble. It all felt like a lifetime ago, a story about someone else."Oh, and by the way, that bastard has been coming by every day to ambush me," her voice turned to disgust. "Asking where you are, like a madman. I just had security throw him out.""Thank you, Chloe.""Don't mention it!" she huffed. "You're finally getting your happy ending. I couldn't be more thrilled!"After hanging up, I went to the kitchen.Today was a special day. I wanted to do something for Kian.Lemon macarons were his favorite.I carefully whipped the egg whites, my movements practiced and focused.An hour later, the delicate macarons were out of the oven.Pale yellow shells, rich and creamy.I packed them in a beautiful box and went to find him.The Healers' Alliance biotech tower stood tall in the city center.This was Kian's empire, and the most advanced medical institution in the werewolf world."Future Luna!" the receptionist greeted me, standing respectfully."T

    Carys's POVThe estate perched on the coastal cliff was a sanctuary of glass and stone.The glass walls reflected the golden glow of the sunset, and in the distance, waves crashed against the rocks.After Kian brought me here from that wasteland, I felt truly safe for the first time."The blessing ceremony is ready."He came up behind me, his warm embrace surrounding me.As the rarest of Alpha Healers, his healing gift was incredibly powerful.More importantly, he gave me the love and respect I hadn't felt in a decade."Nervous?" he asked, gently stroking my slightly rounded belly."No." I leaned back against his chest. "I've never been more sure of anything."He turned me to face him, his amber eyes gazing into mine. "Carys, I love you."His lips brushed against my neck, and he gently bit down on the sensitive skin there.A new mark bloomed.Not a claim, not possession. A promise. A treasure.It was completely different from the possessive, controlling mark Ryker had given me all thos

    Ryker's POVThe morning sun stabbed at my eyes.I woke up next to Lorelei. Looking at her sleeping face, a wave of nausea hit me.After the alcohol wore off, last night's madness left nothing but emptiness and regret.I slipped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, scrubbing myself raw under the hot water.The spray scalded my skin, but it couldn't wash away the filth I felt inside.What was I doing?Carys was gone, and I was seeking comfort in another woman's bed?"Damn it!"I slammed my fist into the wall. My knuckles split open, raw and bloody.I have to get her back. Now.The door to the penthouse apartment swung open, and the dead silence hit me like a wall.This used to be our home.Now it felt like a tomb.Traces of her were still in the living room.I walked to the coffee table. The lemon tea she’d been drinking sat on the table, now cold to the touch.On some strange impulse, I picked it up and took a sip. The cold, sour liquid slid down my throat, just like the feeling in my

    Ryker's POVPanic clawed at me as I watched Carys walk away, her back ramrod straight.Ten years. She’d never looked at me like that.Cold. Final. Utterly disappointed."Carys!" I bolted from the greenhouse, trying to catch her."Ryker!" Lorelei's shriek came from behind me.I spun around to see her curled on the ground, clutching her stomach. Her face was ashen."My stomach… it hurts so bad… The baby… my baby…"Damn it.My mate or my heir. I didn't have to think twice. I turned back and scooped her up."Don't be scared. I'm taking you to the hospital. Now."Carys's car was already gone, vanished beyond the estate gates.I gritted my teeth and carried Lorelei to my car.I paced the VIP ward of the pack hospital.The doctor finished his check-up. "The baby is perfectly healthy. It was just a minor contraction. She just needs to rest."A wave of relief washed over me.I was about to leave when a sharp pain exploded in my chest. It felt like a silver blade straight through the heart.The

    The greenhouse door was ajar.The moment I pushed it open, the world went silent.Devastation. That was the only word for it.My moonflower garden, the product of ten years of loving care, was gone. Leveled.The rare flowers that glowed softly in the night had been ripped out by the roots and trampled into the mud.The acrid smell of weed killer hung in the air.The carved seed box my mother had left me was tossed in a corner, its lid open, its contents gone.My legs gave out, and I nearly collapsed."Oh, you're here."Lorelei's voice echoed from the back of the greenhouse.She was wiping mud off a designer handbag with a silk scarf, a triumphant smile on her face."Ryker said this garden was a monument to your failure and infertility," she said, her voice slow and sweet as poison. "He told me to get rid of it.""After all, the future Alpha heir needs a place full of life."Redesign.The word was a poisoned dart to my heart.I trembled, staring at the devastation.Ten years.Ten years
