Chapter 1

Paolo Greco had not expected me to be so considerate. He scoffed sarcastically when he saw my bleeding abdomen. “Drop the act, Grace Williams. The wound is so shallow. You shouldn’t be bleeding so much!” He ignored the pain the silver dagger caused me and shoved me aside. The dagger went even deeper. I could feel the pup in my tummy silently pass. Paolo held Ayla gently. His voice was soft and reassuring as he said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already found the best healers. You’re going to be fine.” Ayla only had a scratch on her arm, yet he was so gentle with her. My lips trembled, and my heart was so broken that I could not speak. He saw me staying silent and grew impatient. “For such a powerful werewolf, bleeding that much is implausible! If you want my attention next time, try a different trick!” I grasped my abdomen. Blood kept oozing from between my fingers. Ayla leaned weakly against his chest and whispered. “Captain, I’m scared… Will you come in with me for th

The search and rescue team quickly arrived. Lieutenant Andrew Johnson instantly spotted my unconscious body through the doorway.He rushed to bring me back to the hospital.“Where’s the doctor? Come and save her! She’s still pregnant.”“Oh gosh. Would the captain go on a rampage if he knew his mate was so badly hurt? He often bragged to us that he was going to be a father. He’s been looking forward to the birth of his pup…” The door to the infirmary suddenly opened. The “father who was looking forward to the birth of his pup”, as they called him, opened the door and gave me a cold look. “You don’t need to be concerned about her. She’s just acting. I’ve exposed her, and she’s still putting up an act.”At that point, I was chilled to the bone. As a doctor, I was well aware that I was on the verge of death.The search and rescue team members looked at each other. Then, they looked back at Paolo like they were looking at a fool.“Captain, have you lost your mind? Come and take a

Paolo’s hands were trembling. “This can’t be…” He probably realized I had been truly stabbed by a very real dagger. He was the captain of the search and rescue team. He had fought countless rogues, and he knew exactly what it felt like to pull the dagger out of a body. If it was just stuck into the blood bag, it only needed to be gently pulled out… He anxiously reached out to peel off my clothes to check. The people from the rescue team rushed up to stop Paolo and told Retta to hurry and take me away. Paolo desperately shouted my name from behind me, but I slowly closed my eyes. Goodbye.I never wanted to see him again.When I woke up again, my body was attached to various tubes. Retta saw me wake up and choked out. “Grace, you finally woke up. I saved your life, but the pup…” Her words were not finished, and my tears fell.I stroked my belly. That cute little bundle of life had been in my belly for five months. I was already feeling his fetal movements. Retta

While Paolo remained skeptical, Ayla cried again. “Grace, why are you still acting at such a time? Do you have so many blood bags that you couldn’t finish using them all? Are you doing this to avoid responsibility?” My lips moved, but it hurt so much that I could not make a sound. My eyelids were so heavy that I could not open them. Paolo’s grumpy voice filled my ears. “Getting dizzy again? You’re still putting on an act to fool me, aren’t you? “Surely you don’t believe that you’ll get to avoid the consequences of your wrongs if you’ve fainted, do you? “I’m done covering for you. I’m going to send you to the werewolf court. You joined forces with the rogues to hurt Ayla. You have to take accountability!”The argument between us caught the nurse’s attention, and she immediately notified Retta, who was working hard to get an ICU ward for me. Retta arrived just in time to see Paolo throw me back onto the hospital bed. She rushed over to me like a madwoman. “Paolo, she just fi

After hanging up the phone, Retta shot Paolo a cold glare. “You’ll soon find out who’s the grand mastermind who staged this rogue attack!” After she finished speaking, she gave Ayla a deadly stare. Frightened, Ayla retreated behind Paolo. “I’m scared. She’s working in tandem with Grace to slander me!” Paolo was immediately convinced. He turned around and comforted Ayla. “It’s okay. I’ll find out the truth. I’ll make Grace admit her mistake. She likes acting so much, I’d like to see how she’ll round up her lies.”Hearing Paolo say that he would find out the truth, Ayla’s face flashed with panic.“Paolo, will you accompany me to the Dark Moon pack for a visit? I’ve heard that their healing techniques are very powerful, so they should be able to treat my arm.”I knew Ayla was flustered. She was scared that Retta would find out the truth. But Paolo did not take his eyes off the infirmary. “I’ll wait here for Grace. I’m going to expose her schemes.”Ayla cried in aggravation and

Retta left angrily.Paolo remained while staring blankly at the scattered documents on the ground.He knelt and picked them up one by one. They were written confessions of the rogues.Ayla had paid them to attack the hospital. Ayla had also leaked detailed information about the hospital’s security system. Tears fell from Paolo’s eyes.“This can’t be true! Grace, you’re still lying to me, aren’t you?“Ayla is so kind. How could she possibly do such a thing?”At that moment, I was still unconscious. Yet a tear unexpectedly trickled down the corner of my eye.The truth was already so clear, yet Paolo still believed I was acting.“Ayla!” He suddenly stood up. “If we find Ayla, we can prove that all of this is a lie.”He turned and left the hospital, only to see Ayla’s wanted poster.It turned out that Ayla, fearing that the truth would be exposed, had tried to flee our pack earlier and had clashed with immigration officials. After wounding the staff, she had gone into hiding.

Chapter 7

Three days passed. Paolo learned of Ayla’s whereabouts. He found Ayla at the secret hideout where they used to play as children.Ayla feigned innocence. “Paolo, Grace has gone mad. I don’t know what tricks she used, but she’s restricted me from leaving the pack and sent a bunch of police to arrest me!”She cried and pleaded with Paolo, “You’re the search and rescue team captain. I know you can help me. Please, for the sake of our childhood friendship, take me away from this pack, okay?“We’ll leave together. We’ll find a new place where your mother won’t oppose us and Grace won’t interfere. I’ll be your mate, and we’ll have two pups together...”Before she could finish speaking, Paolo’s dagger pierced Ayla’s abdomen.His face darkened. “Ayla, even now, you’re still pretending! Grace hasn’t woken up yet. How could she have arranged for people to arrest you?“It’s all your fault that Grace is in this state! Why did you deceive me? You were the one who arranged for the rogue to
