A few hours later...Alpha Luke's POV"The test results are out..." The doctor's voice sounded apprehensive.I approached him with a serious expression, entering a separate room while the others waited outside."It appears that Lily suffered an overdose and was poisoned," he said seriously, handing me the paper."What are you talking about?" I raised an eyebrow, irritated."In the blood test, a significant amount of Pennyroyal herb was detected. This caused Lily to have multiple spontaneous abortions..." he explained, showing me the test results."Lily was pregnant?" I slammed my hand on the table in anger and rose abruptly, furious."This herb is used to prevent women from getting pregnant or to stop the fetus from developing in the womb if the sperm manages to reach the egg," he replied, nervously. "In high doses, it can be fatal. Changes in the slave's test indicate she ingested high doses of this herb throughout the day. This caused severe bleeding and extensive injury to her uter
**POV Alpha**"Alpha..." she whispered, her voice weak and lacking the strength to walk to me. Ava was pale, with tears in her eyes, and her frail body shivered from the cold in that filthy place.I ran to her, desperate, holding her carefully to prevent her from falling to the ground as she leaned on me, bleeding profusely. The full moon hung high in the sky, and my wolf let out a sad and agonizing howl toward the moon upon seeing the woman he loved in my arms, on the verge of death. The moon illuminated the clearing where we were like twilight, but there was no light left in Ava's eyes. It was as if the moonlight was fading away along with her life."Ava, hold on, please!" I said nervously, trying to keep her eyes open. My voice was a low and anguished growl, but she could only gasp in response.Ava shook her head, struggling to breathe, her hands clutching my chest in desperation. Her body was weakened, and the scent of blood filled the air around us."I... I'm so sorry, Alpha. For
**POV Alpha**Without thinking twice, I ran recklessly to Olivia's room. I wanted her to face the consequences of her actions. Upon arriving at her room, I brutally pushed the door open, creating a loud noise. My red eyes and the veins on my forehead bulged as if I might explode at any moment. The pack was on alert, having heard about Lily's poisoning, and now everyone knew that the betrayal came from within.Olivia was sitting on her bed, appearing surprised by my visit. She tried to greet me with a smile and a seductive look, but I was not in the mood for dirty games."Alpha," she said sweetly, attempting to kiss my cheek.I pushed her roughly, causing her to step back. Her smile instantly vanished."What do you think you're doing here?" I growled, my voice filled with contained anger."I don't know what you're talking about; try to calm down, my love..." She tried to act like she didn't know what I was referring to.I grabbed Olivia by the arms, my strong hands gripping tightly. Sh
**POV Lily**I find myself in a dark, damp, and mysterious place. The darkness is so dense it feels suffocating. Water spreads across the floor, and I feel my body drenched, my skin shivering from the sensation. The environment is eerie, and a sense of isolation envelops me.In this gloomy place, I hear a howl, long and agonizing, echoing through the dark surroundings. My heart quickens, my instincts screaming that something is wrong. Who or what would be howling like that?As I approach the sound, I can make out a figure in the distance. It's a white wolf, but its fur is tattered, and it appears extremely weak and hungry. It looks at me with sad eyes, revealing the pain it carries."Who are you?" I ask, my voice trembling. The white wolf doesn't respond, just watches me with a gaze that seems to penetrate my soul.Suddenly, a soft yet powerful voice resonates in my mind. "Lily, it's me. I'm the part of you that you never managed to communicate with."I become nervous, trying to under
**POV Lily**"How are you feeling today, Miss?" the nurse asked, jotting down information on a chart."I'm fine... I've been resting for a few days. When can I get up again, and when will the Alpha come to see me?" I asked, feeling confused."Soon, Miss. You need to rest. Don't worry about the Alpha; he's been quite busy lately, dealing with important pack matters," she smiled and finished adjusting my IV before leaving.I closed my eyes, once again huffing indignantly. I couldn't stand lying in bed any longer. A few people came to visit me initially when I woke up, including the Alpha, who said he would return to see me. However, it had been five days since I last saw him. The doctor kept telling me I needed to rest and not roam around the pack house. Johanna visited me almost every day, but I still missed my friend Julie. As for Ayla, she seemed to be recovering silently, but I could feel her inside me, warming me and using her limited power to aid my healing."Good morning, dear. I
**POV Lily**I opened my eyes, and a feeling of nervousness and fear enveloped me. I didn't immediately recognize the place, but the memory of my fall in the bathroom and the bleeding I had witnessed soon struck me. My heart began to race, and I automatically placed my hands on my belly.A tear rolled down my face as my mind filled with worry. I needed to know what had happened to my baby. After all, I had been pregnant, and the thought that something might have happened to my child terrified me.Johanna and the nurse were by my side, trying to calm me. I felt their gentle hands on my shoulders, trying to get me to lie down again. But my mind was spinning, and the words automatically came out of my mouth."What happened to my baby?" I asked, my voice trembling with anxiety.There was a moment of silence, and my heart sank in despair. The nurse looked to Johanna, seeking guidance, but she only nodded, appearing reluctant.The nurse, with a careful expression, tried to shift the focus a
**POV Lily**As soon as I entered the dungeon, the darkness and the damp smell of the place enveloped me. Julie was there, handcuffed to the wall, with wide and fearful eyes. Her body was covered in bruises and cuts, and I could feel the pain and fear she carried."Julie..." I murmured her name with a cold tone, showing no compassion. "How long has it been? We have a lot to talk about, perhaps you'd like to start by explaining why you killed my babies?"Tears welled up in her eyes, and she swallowed hard before responding. "Lily, I... I didn't want to. I swear. I was forced; she deceived me.""Forced by whom?" I asked, keeping my gaze fixed on her."Olivia," she confessed. "She deceived me and forced me to poison you. She said she'd kill me if I didn't follow her orders. I swear I considered you a friend; I didn't want to do this," Julie replied, crying.Olivia was a monster. I couldn't believe my friend had betrayed our trust in this way. The pain of betrayal burned within me, but I
**POV Alpha**"Alpha," the doctor began cautiously, "I regret to inform you that Olivia is indeed pregnant."My impatience was evident, and my claws were ready to emerge. "Is she really pregnant?" I asked incisively, looking at the doctor as if I were willing to tear his throat out if he were lying.Olivia smiled, trying to approach me. "I told the truth, Alpha. I wasn't lying. I'm carrying your child."Her attempt at seduction only irritated me further. I pushed her brutally, making her step back. "Do you think this pregnancy makes you innocent? That I will forgive everything you've done? I only didn't kill her because she's carrying my child."Olivia swallowed hard, looking down. She knew she was in a precarious situation. Her plan to seduce and manipulate me had crumbled, and she was facing the reality of her cruel actions.I was angry, but I also understood that with Olivia pregnant, we needed to handle the situation carefully and rationally. I couldn't kill her without harming th
