On the day I was about to give birth, a pack of rogue wolves attacked me and shredded my child to pieces. My Alpha mate Marcus went insane, rushing me to the healing center and commanding the healers to save my life.But I unexpectedly overheard his conversation with Beta. It turned out that he had allowed his lover Celeste to plan the attack, just because he promised to let her child be his only Alpha heir.The healing herbs helped my body recover somewhat, but they couldn't suppress the piercing pain or the agony of losing my child.Every breath felt like swallowing glass. Every heartbeat reminded me of the tiny heart that would never beat again.I closed my eyes, hoping this was all just a nightmare. But the physical and emotional pain kept me from sleeping.The emptiness in my abdomen felt like a gaping wound that would never heal. I could still feel phantom kicks, phantom movements that made me reach down to comfort a baby who was no longer there.Just then, Marcus and his Beta wa

During my recovery, Marcus completely abandoned his pack duties, leaving everything to his Beta while he cared for me at the healing center around the clock.Even the young she-wolves at the center envied me, saying, "The Alpha treats his mate so well. He rented out the entire floor and personally prepares gourmet meals for her every day."When I recovered enough for him to bring me home, the house was filled with my favorite moonflowers - the ones he had personally climbed the cliffs to pick for me.His kindness during this time almost made me believe the conversation I'd overheard was just a hallucination."Scarlett, your body has mostly healed. There's something I need to discuss with you."He pulled me into his embrace, his familiar scent of fresh grass lingering around me.This used to be my favorite smell in the world."We found the three rogue wolves who attacked you. As the pack's Alpha, I'm hoping you can forgive them.""They claim they drank too much wolfsbane vodka that nigh

Marcus said impatiently: "Scarlett, that's enough..."His voice carried a warning edge, the same tone he used with disobedient pack members. Not the voice of a mate, but of an Alpha losing patience with a subordinate."I've been more than generous. I've given you time to heal, resources to recover, and now I'm asking for one simple signature."He stepped closer, his presence intimidating in the small room."Don't test my patience any further."Before he could finish his threat, Celeste suddenly gritted her teeth and grabbed the knife from the table.The blade gleamed silver in the afternoon light streaming through the window."Scarlett, I'll atone with my death!"Her voice cracked with theatrical desperation, but her eyes remained calculating.She slashed viciously at her hand, cutting so deep the white bone was visible through the gaping wound.Blood gushed out, splattering across the pristine white documents on the table.The metallic scent filled the room, making my stomach churn.B

"Impossible!" Marcus's eyes blazed with fury, his Alpha power crackling through the air like electricity.The very walls seemed to vibrate with his rage."You're working with Scarlett to trick me, aren't you?"His voice rose to a roar that made the windows rattle."This is some elaborate scheme! She's trying to manipulate me into feeling guilty!""She was fine when we left. How could this happen..."His words came out in a rush, denial and panic warring in his voice.His hands shook violently as he pulled out his phone and opened the home security app.The screen showed empty rooms, bare walls where her paintings used to hang.Her favorite chair sat vacant. Her coffee mug was gone from the kitchen counter.The house was empty of my belongings, quiet and eerily vacant.Every trace of me had been methodically removed.Marcus stared at the footage, his face going pale as the reality began to sink in."No... no, this can't be right. She was just upset about the agreement..."Marcus seemed

The bracelet was still intact, its blue stones somehow undamaged by the flames.This was the bracelet his deceased mother had personally placed on my wrist after our mating ceremony.The family heirloom passed down through generations of Luna females.One of a kind in the world, irreplaceable."Hehe..."He suddenly laughed, a broken sound that made Neil flinch.He reached out and grabbed that burned black hand, his fingers intertwining with charred bone."Scarlett, let's not sign that stupid agreement, okay?"His voice was conversational, as if talking to a living person."Ah... yes, yes. I'll tear it up right now.""Let me tell you a secret."He leaned closer to the corpse, whispering like a guilty child."That Celeste, I only slept with her because I got drunk during pack business at the Silver Moon territory.""It was supposed to be a one-night mistake. Nothing more.""That night she went through my phone while I was passed out and found your messages.""When she learned I was an Al

Marcus was kicked to the ground, his body hitting the dirt beside my gravestone with a dull thud.He lay there crawling for a long time, his expensive suit torn and stained with mud and blood.His hands clawed at the grass, leaving gouges in the earth like an animal in pain.Then he slowly lifted his head, his face a mess of tears, snot, and dirt."Neil... you're my most trusted Beta, my best brother..."His voice was hoarse and broken, barely recognizable."But you don't understand..."He wiped his nose with the back of his hand, leaving a streak of blood across his cheek."She had a child before, so I thought... it wasn't fair..."The words came out in a choked whisper, as if saying them out loud made them real.Neil's pupils dilated in shock, his entire body going rigid."Scarlett had a child?"His voice cracked on the last word, disbelief and horror warring in his expression."When? How? That's impossible!"Marcus nodded painfully, his head hanging like a broken doll."Celeste even

Half a year later, Neil arrived as promised, his sleek black Maybach pulling up outside my modest flower shop.The contrast between his expensive car and my simple storefront couldn't have been more obvious.He stepped out wearing a perfectly tailored charcoal suit, but his expression was warm and genuinely pleased to see me."You used to be the mate of our Red Wolf Pack's Alpha, after all."His voice carried a hint of protective concern as he looked around the small Silver Pack territory."Are you really comfortable staying in this tiny Silver Pack?"He wore a kind smile, but I could see him taking mental notes as his eyes scanning the flowers in my shop.Calculating whether I was truly safe here, whether anyone was treating me poorly."I'll buy all your flowers today. How about closing early and taking a day off?"I smiled back, genuinely happy to see a familiar face."That's not necessary, but I can give you one of my favorite moonflowers."I reached for the pale blue blooms that re

His tone was matter-of-fact, not judgmental.I couldn't help poking him in the arm."He's twenty-five, you're thirty-two. You're not that much older. Stop acting like a wise elder."I waved my hand dismissively, but I could feel heat creeping up my neck."Don't overthink it. I just happened to hire him when I opened the shop here. He needed work, I needed help.""Impossible." Neil's voice carried absolute certainty."I'm at least a Beta, now acting Alpha. I can read wolves pretty well."He pointed toward where Forest had disappeared into the restaurant."Anyone who can afford those Italian leather shoes and that Swiss watch wouldn't be working in your little flower shop for a few low-grade gems.""He's here because he wants to be near you."This time, I couldn't maintain my casual facade.I forced a smile that felt brittle on my face.Then I unconsciously covered my lower abdomen, the gesture automatic after months of mourning."Neil, I'm just an Omega now. And I don't have the right t

That night, Neil got completely drunk.The next morning when I woke up, I found a message from him."Scarlett, I wish you a bright future ahead."I sent him a reply."Next time you have a chance to visit Silver Pack, I'll treat you to dinner and show you the flowers."That evening, he responded:"Dinner sounds great, but I'll pass on the flowers..."He truly was a pack Beta - his ability to read wolves was spot on.In the days that followed, Forest became increasingly attentive to me, constantly bringing me premium gemstones and high-grade herbs.He thought I couldn't tell what they were, not knowing these were all things I'd used before.Until one day, he invited me to join him at the Blood Moon Pack's Moonlight Festival, held once every three years.This was the grand celebration Marcus and I had attended together every time.I hesitated for a long while before accepting his invitation. Maybe I wanted to finally say goodbye to the past."Look, look! That roasted rabbit smells amazing
