Lahat ng Kabanata ng Backwards Isn't an Option: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

In the hunting ground, my mate Liam abandoned me, even though I was pregnant and severely injured. He left carrying Beta Eva, who only had minor scratches.As I was left behind, I took the prenatal medication Liam had given me, only to lose the baby. It was then that I realized what my mate had done to cover up his betrayal.Since that was the case, I decided to let them be together.After hearing what I said, my father remained silent for a long time. Then, he spoke in a voice full of sorrow and affection."The entire Howl of the Moon Pack and I are waiting for you."At that moment, his voice became the greatest source of comfort throughout the long night. After ending the mind link with my father, I gently touched my flat stomach, and a wave of grief surged through me.The pack's healer told me that the medicine Liam gave me was actually a slow-acting poison. It dulled my ability to sense the mate bond, but at the same time, it had a severe impact on my child.Such drugs were

After packing my things, I headed to the Pack House Council Room. The moment the Elders heard that I wanted to resign from my position as Luna, they all slammed their hands on the table in unison."No! I don't agree!"Seeing their hypocritical attempts to persuade me to stay, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Their so-called concern was nothing more than self-interest. I had brought many benefits to the pack over the years.Because of the Moon Goddess' guidance, I, the heir of the Howl of the Moon Pack, had come to this remote pack.Because of me, the Elders had used my name to obtain a great deal of resources from the Howl of the Moon Pack. So, it was only natural that they were reluctant to let me go when I decided to leave."Lily! Think carefully before you speak!""Liam grew up under our eyes. He would never betray you!"Listening to all their doubts, I calmly dialed Liam's number. Before Liam's voice could come through, it was Eva's voice that was heard first."Liam, sho

Just as I was about to drink the potion to sever the mate bond, Liam barged into my house. His hair was a mess, and he looked completely disheveled."Lily! What are you trying to do? Are you really cursing our child to miscarriage just to get my attention? And you threw away your Luna badge?"I looked at him and almost laughed. "I didn't curse my child. That report was issued by the pack healer. You can ask her. And yes, I did resign from the position of Luna."At this, Liam's face twisted with rage. He grabbed my wrist hard and roared, "That's enough. Apologize now, and I can still give the Luna position back to you. "Lily, you've become so calculating. I must say, I'm impressed."Ignoring my struggle, Liam stared coldly at me, taking on the posture of someone in power."As the Luna of this pack, it's bad enough that you lack patience, but now you're getting jealous and using our child as a joke. Don't you think you're completely unfit to be our Luna, let alone a mother?"The

"The meeting is about to start. Can you take Eva and get as far away as possible?"I took Zach's arm and got ready to leave the hall. But Liam insisted on standing in my way."You are my mate. How can you act so close to someone else without any shame? Come back with me. Stop making a scene."I looked at Liam coldly."We're already over. I am no longer your mate, Liam."I believed that, at that moment, Liam truly wanted me to come back. He even lowered his pride and knelt before me, speaking sincerely."I'm sorry, Lily. Everything that happened before was my fault. Please give me another chance. I want to make things right, to make up for the child we lost. Please stop saying you're not my mate. If you come back to me, I swear I'll change. Please don't leave me."Thinking back on the seven years I spent with Liam, I remembered how he had never once admitted fault. He had always lived in his own world.In his mind, because I loved him, he could hurt me endlessly. He believed he
