Although Father disapproved of my decision, when he saw the resolve on my face, he didn't press further.He simply sighed and tried to console me. "If your life in the serpent clan becomes too difficult… perhaps Bella can help you out."But when Bella found out I had chosen to marry into the serpent clan, she couldn't resist mocking me to my face."Clarice, even if you couldn't marry Jacob, surely you didn't have to stoop to the declining serpent clan? Don't end up starving to death before you even manage to bear a child. I heard they're struggling just to stay fed these days."The wolf clan is wealthy beyond measure. Even their bathwater is infused with precious divine herbs. If your life gets too miserable, I can pack up some leftovers and send them your way!"She covered her mouth and burst out laughing, ignoring the awkward glances from the servants around us.In Bella's eyes, the wolf clan had vast resources, and Jacob's devotion would guarantee a swift pregnancy. She was ce

Jacob's expression was stormy, his entire body radiating fury."Bella, whose bastard is this? Who did you sleep with behind my back? If you don't tell me the truth right now, I'll kill this mongrel myself."Our father, pale with fear, rushed to intervene. "Jacob, calm down. This must be some kind of misunderstanding. Bella loves you so much. How could she possibly betray you?"Encouraged by Father's support, Bella quickly brought the child to Jacob, her voice soft and coaxing. "Look, he looks just like you—his eyes are identical."Jacob coldly took the red pup from her arms. The small wolf pup, who had been sleeping soundly, burst into loud, terrified wails the moment it saw Jacob's face.That heart-wrenching cry stabbed through me like a knife, evoking the memory of Tristan screaming in the fire in my past life.Pain seized my chest. I could barely breathe. My brows furrowed tightly.Draco noticed my discomfort and gently covered my ears, mistaking my distress for a dislike of a child

Before I could even finish speaking, Draco leapt out of bed, dressed, and bolted out the door to fetch the physician.Less than fifteen minutes later, the doctor arrived in our room.He placed his fingers on my wrist and began to examine my pulse, his brow furrowing deeply as he alternated between shaking and nodding his head.The room was oppressively quiet. Draco sat beside me, his face etched with concern.Finally, the physician stood and offered us a congratulatory bow."Congratulations, Draco. Clarice is two months pregnant. Judging by the signs, she should be ready to lay her egg in just a few days!"I had remained calm until that last part."Wait, what? Lay an egg?" I blinked. "Aren't we talking about having a baby?"Draco chuckled and gently stroked my head, explaining, "The snake clan is a bit different from the others. We lay eggs, then hatch our young."From the moment we confirmed the pregnancy, Draco wouldn't let me lift a finger. He followed me around all day, tr

As soon as Bella spoke, everyone present finally understood the truth.Had she followed the instructions properly, she might've had a healthy child. But her greed had doomed her.The scandal made the wolf clan a laughingstock yet again. Rumors spread that Jacob was impotent, and that his wife had not only cheated on him but even resorted to using a crude fertility folk remedy from the lowly rat clan.Jacob, already in a foul mood, would only grow more cruel to Bella after this humiliation.A month later, just as I was shopping for cloth to make clothes for my babies and preparing to head home, I saw Bella cradling a basket to her chest and sneaking into a secluded alley.Word on the street was that Bella had lost her mind. She was said to be snatching children from around the wolf clan.I didn't give it much thought. With a cheerful heart, I returned home, eager to welcome my soon-to-hatch little ones.But the door to my room stood wide open, and the incubator was empty.All th
