Crushed Beneath My Alpha's Betrayal のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 8

The other end of the line was silent for a moment. "Ms. Mason, many in our pack are aware that you've repeatedly made false claims that you're in danger. The Alpha left orders that if we ever receive your calls for help, we have to contact him for verification before we send anyone to rescue you."My heart instantly sank, and I hastily pleaded, "Don't contact Ethan! Please just send a healer to save me. I'm not lying! I'm really—"But Ethan was already on the line.It was just a few seconds, but I could hear the surrounding sounds coming from the other end of the communicator.It sounded lively and warm over there, which was a stark contrast to the desolate cave I was trapped in.A few elders in the pack were tenderly comforting Alicia, "It's okay, just rest for now. Ethan will exact justice for you. You wouldn't have suffered for nothing."Soon, Alicia's soft and meek voice rang out. "I'm sure Cecilia didn't mean it. It's my own fault for ending up like this. Please don't blame

But just then, Alicia leaned in and exclaimed in shock, "Cecilia! Why are you bleeding so much?"She blinked innocently. "Wait, I've seen how pack members process the game from the hunts. The blood pooled just like this. Hold on, could it be?"The emotion completely disappeared from Ethan's expression. He looked at me, his gaze filled with disappointment and detachment. "Cecilia, how are you so reluctant to accept Alicia? She was traumatized in the basement, but you're still playing dirty tricks just to compete with her for attention! I'm disappointed in you!"I was just getting hopeful, but in that instant, all my hopes were dashed.Immense hatred and despair filled my heart. "Ethan, why do you trust Alicia so blindly when you won't even believe me for once? I'm your future mate! I'm even pregnant with your pup! "I'm a mother, so why would I possibly joke about my own pup? If I actually lied, just hand me over to the elders of the pack for judgment! But what if I'm telling the t

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in the grounds of a rival pack.A man was keeping watch by the bed. It was the Alpha of the Moonfrost pack, Ray Hammond.I had heard of him before. He was far stronger than Ethan and was known for being calm and reserved in his ways.He placed a mug of warm water in my hands. "Your fever just receded, and you're extremely weak right now. You need to rest for a while longer."My head felt heavy, and I hadn't quite wrapped my head around what was happening. In my daze, I kept feeling like I had died under the rubble.My throat was parched, and I said in a hoarse voice, "I'm… still alive?"Ray nodded. His tone was calm as he explained, "I was the one who saved you from the depths of the cave with my pack members. The priest forged a fake corpse for you through magic. When you arrived at the infirmary, the pup in your womb was gone, but fortunately, you survived."I was silent for a long while. Then, I put on a bitter smile. "Thank you."

The night air felt cool on my skin when Ray sent me home.He tilted his head to look at me. "After going through all that, do you regret anything?"I put on a relieved smile. "It's exactly because I survived a brush with death in the cave that I realized something. Even without depending on anyone, I can still live a peaceful and steady life on my own."Ray nodded. "Your resilience is one of a kind. It's also the reason I risked my life to enter the collapsed cave and rescue you. The infirmary here in the Moonfrost pack has always needed helping hands. I have the utmost respect for your abilities."I looked up at him, feeling a hint of tenderness radiating from a corner of my frozen heart.After the near-death experience, I no longer needed anyone to prove that I was worthy of being loved.For the rest of my life, I was willing to let go of my past and focus solely on my work.During the day, I treated the wounded at the infirmary and organized records of various injuries and il
