After being forced to go to rogue wolf territory to exchange my mate's kidnapped childhood sweetheart while three months pregnant, I was tortured to death.I lay dying in the rogue territory, my body broken by silver torture while Willow's dog received protection back at the pack.As the powerful warrior was stopped from leaving, my daughter still clutched the healing gemstone case, now empty.She clenched her small fists, now turning purplish, and begged Willow again and again."Please, let the warrior come save my mom?" her small voice pleaded."Miss Willow, please, I'm begging you, let him go!"My daughter's childish voice echoed throughout the entire pack house, but it couldn't move Willow who was busy fussing over her pet dog—the animal she claimed needed the pack's strongest warrior for protection.The louder my daughter cried and shouted, the more Willow seemed determined to ignore her as she cooed and fawned over her dog."Good doggy, these big bad rogues aren't anywhere near u

The rogue wolves circled closer, their silver weapons glinting in the dim light of their territory.My daughter's voice touched my mind again through our bond."Mom? Are you okay? "I could feel her fear and confusion through our connection.I knew I was dying.The silver poisoning had spread too far in my system, and the baby's heartbeat was growing fainter inside me. My mate had made his choice, and there would be no rescue.But I didn't want to frighten my little pup.Using my last bit of strength to keep my mindlink steady, I weakly replied:"Sweetheart, I'm fine. Just feeling a little pain from the journey. Could you help me? I need some pain-relieving herbs from the pack therapist."My daughter hesitated for two seconds, then eagerly replied:"Yes, I'll go find some right away for you! When will you be back?""In two days, love. The exchange is taking longer than expected. The herbs will help me when I return.""Mom, you promise you'll come back? You promise?"As I felt her deter

My daughter raced back with the therapist at her side.They had just reached the main entrance of the pack house when they encountered Willow blocking their path.When Willow spotted my daughter carrying pain-relieving herbs, her eyes narrowed dangerously.Without warning, she shifted into her wolf form—a sleek, tawny beast with gleaming yellow eyes. She lunged forward, knocking my small daughter violently to the ground.Her razor-sharp claws dug into my daughter's tender skin, tearing four deep gashes across her shoulder and chest. Blood immediately soaked through her thin shirt."You worthless little runt," Willow snarled, partially shifting her face back to human form to speak while keeping her claws extended. "Know your place."My daughter cried out in pain but refused to let go of the herbs in her small hands.Willow turned her attention to the trembling therapist."Didn't Alpha Kieran order all healers to help treat me after I was kidnapped? Why are you wasting time with this bra

The pack house door slammed shut.Leaving only my daughter's tiny body curled into a ball on the cold stone floor.I knelt beside her, knowing it was futile, but still trying again and again to pick her up.It was useless, all useless.The pack's healing center had long been closed. Without Kieran's command, no one dared help my child.The blood at the corner of my daughter's mouth had already congealed.She moved her eyelids slightly but couldn't open her eyes.Only the small packet of pain-relieving herbs in her arms, what little Willow hadn't taken, made a faint rustling sound.The healing gemstone she had worn around her neck was gone, lost somewhere in the struggle.Only a thin mark remained on her skin, evidence that she was once a treasured child, protected and loved.I don't know how long I knelt there, how long I cried.I only knew that the pain in my chest had numbed, and my tears had completely dried up.Just when I thought everything was over, Kieran came down.His custom l

"Ava... Ava..."Kieran murmured my name, then immediately pushed through the crowd to my bedside.Looking at my pale, rigid body, covered in silver burns, devoid of any living essence.Kieran's heart suddenly twisted into knots.He reached out with trembling hands to check if I still had any breath, but accidentally touched our daughter's bruised face.Almost instinctively, he gathered her into his arms.The man's eyes burned red as he shouted at the crowd of onlookers:"Healer! Where is the healer?!"The crowd began to stir.Soon several healers and their assistants stepped forward, guiding Kieran toward a treatment room.He carefully placed our unconscious daughter on the bed.Floating in the air above them, I finally felt some relief.Looking at the uncontrollable panic on Kieran's face, I found it darkly amusing.All of this was his doing, wasn't it?Just last night, he had the chance to save me from the rogue wolves.My heart ached with the blockage of emotions. I bent down to gen

The healer's examination had concluded.Looking at the uneven wounds on my daughter's face, he immediately ordered her to be transferred to intensive care."Her condition is critical," he whispered to the nurses. "Those claw marks are deep. She's lost too much blood."Outside the intensive care room.Kieran stared through the glass at our child, whose life was being maintained by breathing apparatus and various medical devices, his face haggard with worry.His knuckles were white as he pressed his hand against the cold glass, as if trying to reach her.My spirit lingered inside the intensive care room, resting at my daughter's bedside, lost in thought.If only I could touch her one more time. If only I could heal her wounds with my own hands.The swelling on her face had reduced by half, and the blood around her mouth had been carefully cleaned away by the nursing assistant.But this only made the wounds on her face more visible.Especially the claw marks.Four distinct lines running f

My heart suddenly leaped.I hovered at the entrance of the intensive care room, my spirit form trembling uncontrollably.What was she planning to do?Was she going to hurt my little Emma again?No, no! My child couldn't suffer any more harm.Absolutely not!Looking at the faint smile on Willow's face, I wished I could tear her apart limb from limb.The cold calculation in her eyes made my spirit flare with protective rage.Willow couldn't see me. She casually made up an excuse to send away the warrior guarding the intensive care room."Alpha Kieran asked me to stay with Emma while he speaks with the healers," she lied smoothly. "You can take a break."The warrior hesitated, his hand resting on his weapon."My orders were clear—""Are you questioning the Alpha's mate?" she snapped, her eyes flashing dangerously.Reluctantly, the warrior stepped away, though I noticed he didn't go far.Then she quietly pushed open the door.The soft hiss of the pneumatic hinges seemed deafening in the s

The unexpected interruption made everyone instinctively turn their heads.Especially Willow, who suddenly felt a sense of foreboding rise within her.Her face paled even further, if that was possible.Kieran narrowed his eyes, his tone icy:"Speak."The warrior swallowed nervously before quickly saying:"I want to report that the rogue wolf leader has been secretly communicating with someone in our pack. I intercepted a call earlier today and discovered the truth about Luna Ava's death."The warrior glanced at my daughter lying on the bed, his eyes flashing with reluctance."And also about the planned torture with silver, causing death for revenge and jealousy.""Thud!"Willow crashed into the bed, trembling uncontrollably with fear.Her perfectly maintained facade crumbled completely as the truth came to light.Kieran also sensed something was wrong. His voice became dry, and he closed his eyes briefly, his words shaking."The person... was...""It was Willow, Miss Willow. This mornin
