บททั้งหมดของ I Let Her Be the Mother of My Child: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 7

On the last day of River's trials, I boarded a flight to a remote town in Alaska.The air bit at my skin, but I welcomed the cold. It reminded me that I was alive. That I was free.For years, I’d tried to be the mate Eric needed—the polished Luna, the perfect Omega.I smothered my instincts, buried my wildness beneath silk dresses and obedient smiles.But none of it ever reached him. Not truly.“Any Omega could do that. It’s nothing,” he would say when I presented pack reports or ran community events.The sycophants in the pack would immediately chime in."So true, Alpha! Lyra is so lucky. It's only by your power that she lives so comfortably.""And the corporation's new CFO, Aurora—I hear she's an old flame of yours. Alpha, you two should be seen together more. Show us what a real power couple looks like!"They'd say these things right in front of me, with no regard for my feelings.Aurora. I knew that name all too well.Eric's unforgettable first love from the wolf academy, his chil

You've grown up, have you? You think you can defy me now?!Severing your mate bond is a huge deal.Who gave you permission to make a decision like that?!"Her scent coiled around me like a venomous snake, the pressure of her presence making the air heavy."Now! You will come back with me immediately!While Eric is still willing to have you, you will go and re-mate with him!"Sitting in the coffee shop, listening to her words, my throat closed up.I was speechless.My wolf snarled in my chest, no longer willing to back down.She had traveled all this way just to drag me back onto the path she had paved for m
