Chapter 21 She Never Went Abroad

Liam's POVI sat alone in the waiting room. Even the soothing music couldn't calm me down. All I wanted was to burst into Evelyn's exam room and find out how she was."Alpha Liam."The pack doctor pushed the door open and came in. I stood up at once. "How is she?""It's not good news." He handed me her chart, his voice full of regret. "She has depression and post-traumatic stress disorder."My hand froze halfway through opening the chart. I couldn't accept it. "How could...""I'm afraid it's true, Alpha. Luna has lost a lot of weight lately. The insomnia has thrown her hormone levels off, and there's severe anxiety, a refusal to face reality, and a loss of appetite. All of it adds up to what you're seeing now." The doctor patiently explained everything to me."I-I know." The test results in front of me were frightening. My hands were shaking. "I thought it was just ordinary stress. She's been through so much lately. Her mother is still in the hospital and hasn't woken up."And the twin

Chapter 22 Deciding to Let Go

Liam's POVI was eight that year. I remember it clearly.My father, the previous Alpha of the pack, was always harsh and cold. He never seemed to realize his son was a child under ten."You're the heir to the Frostridge Pack, and you only got second place in the combat competition."His words lashed me like a whip. I clenched my fists and said quietly, "I'm sorry, Father, but, but that's because I had a fever last night. I still haven't fully recovered.""That's just an excuse." My father sat behind his desk, his expression cold. "Remember the name you carry: Dudley. That name has won countless honors. You must uphold it.""I'll try...""You must."The door opened, cutting off my father's tirade. My mother walked in and stepped between me and his glare."That's enough. Liam is only eight. You have to give him time to grow."My father snorted. "Think hard about what you've done. Next time is your last chance."My mother took me out of the study. Once we were away from it, the hurt final

Chapter 23 Lily and a Stranger

Evelyn's POV"Evelyn, right? That's your name?"I was surprised to hear the doctor who'd be operating on my mother say my name. "Yes, Dr. Joyce. Have we met?""I've seen your paintings," Dr. Joyce said with a smile. "At a college graduation exhibition. I was one of the investors, and you were a student."The coincidence made me nervous. I didn't think my work was good enough for an investor to remember it this long.Dr. Joyce seemed to notice and tried to reassure me. "Don't worry, your paintings were stunning. And right now... I just want you to relax. After all, your mother will still need you to take care of her after the surgery."I glanced at my mother in the bed. She still seemed to be asleep."Thank you," I said.Dr. Joyce laughed cheerfully and asked the nurses to help him examine my mother. He would operate in two hours.I stood at the door with my fists clenched and watched them wheel my mother out toward the operating room. On instinct, I started after them."Wait." A nurse

Chapter 24 A Drunken Night

Evelyn's POV"Oh my God, look who it is..." Aurora said under her breath. "That's Lily flirting with some strange guy. We should take a picture. Evelyn, we should take a picture of this and send it to Liam!"She was already reaching for her phone. I stopped her just in time and said casually, "There's no point. Liam trusts Lily, and he loves her. Why bother?"Earlier in our conversation, I'd already told Aurora that I was about to dissolve my mate contract with Liam. When she heard me say that, she shrugged. "Okay, you're right. You're about to start a new life. There's no need to stir things up because of Lily."With that settled, I felt hungry again for once. Not because a doctor told me to eat or because of my medication, but simply because of the food.The food smelled and looked so good, and it felt wonderful to have an appetite again.In a good mood, I agreed when Aurora asked me to go to a club with her afterward. Ever since I became Liam's mate, I'd never set foot in a place li

Chapter 25 She's Pregnant with Liam's Baby

Evelyn's POVMy mother was in the hospital bed with her eyes open, those emerald eyes full of love. Her lips moved weakly. "Evelyn... sweetheart..."There was no sound, but I knew she was calling me.Tears fell instantly. I'd never imagined this day would come so soon. My mother had finally woken up after years of sleep."Mom." I held her hand and called to her as softly as I could. "Mom, you can see me, right?"My mother slowly blinked, answering my question."Sorry to interrupt." Dr. Joyce stood at the door, smiling at me. "Would you like to come to my office and talk? About your mother's treatment going forward."I quickly wiped the tears off my face. "Okay."I'll be right back. Get some rest," I told my mother. I kissed her cheek before following Dr. Joyce out.All of my mother's medical records were laid out on his desk. Dr. Joyce spoke in a professional tone."She woke up even sooner than we expected. That's great news. It'll keep her muscles from wasting any further. Next, we'll

Chapter 26 Dissolving the Contract

Evelyn's POVEverything in the hospital was a white blur, spinning. My ears were buzzing, and Lily's voice played over and over in my head."Enough. Stop thinking about it. This has nothing to do with you."I said it quietly to myself, but I felt as if I were drowning. Every breath came with an unbearable, crushing pain. Hurried footsteps stopped in front of me, and the man I'd left only that morning appeared. "Evelyn? Can you breathe?"I could barely lift my eyes. Liam's face swam into view."My baby with Liam."Our baby...""Don't touch me!" I knocked Liam's hand away. "Stay away from me!""Evelyn—""Stay away from me," I repeated, like a madwoman. "Stay away from me. Go take care of your future mate, okay? Go take care of your baby.""It's not like that. There's been a misunderstanding." Liam kept trying to steady me."There's no misunderstanding." I nearly bared my sharp wolf fangs to keep Liam away. "You! You and Lily are having a baby! It's inside her!""Just hear me out.""I don

Chapter 27 Pregnant

Evelyn's POVTime flew by. Daily checkups, physical therapy, and leisurely walks helped my mother steadily recover, until she finally met Dr. Joyce's standards for discharge.Early one morning, he came into the room and announced, "Today, you can go home.""Really?!" I was thrilled."Absolutely," Dr. Joyce said, raising his eyebrows. "You'd better go take care of the discharge paperwork before noon, or our nurses will come find you themselves."The news felt like an unexpected gift. Unable to hide my excitement, I rushed off to handle the discharge and brought my mother home to my new apartment."Mom, this is our home," I told her.My mother stood in the doorway, looking around at everything with curiosity. "You bought this?""Yes. Remember William? The college classmate I mentioned a few days ago? I'm drawing designs for his studio now.""That's wonderful, Evelyn. You're absolutely the best daughter in the world."My mother was never stingy with praise.We hugged and laughed in the do

Chapter 28 The Wolf-Fang Necklace

Evelyn's POVKnock, knock, knock.Someone knocked steadily on the apartment door. My mother, in the kitchen, sounded puzzled. "The mail carrier's earlier than usual today.""Maybe he has something else to do," I said, putting down my yogurt and going to open the door.An envelope had been stuffed into the mailbox by the door. It felt empty except for something heavy at the bottom. The moment I opened it, a pendant fell into my palm.It was carved from jade, in the shape of a wolf fang.I recognized it at a glance. The necklace that used to be mine...Twenty years ago, a man showed up outside my school in a mascot costume, holding brightly colored ice cream.I should have said no. My mother had told me never to take things from strangers. But the ice cream looked so good I couldn't resist.The sweet taste slid off my tongue and down my throat. The mascot played games with me, and in about the time it takes to tell a joke, darkness swallowed me.The hard concrete floor scraped my knees.

Chapter 29 The Accident

Evelyn's POVAnother month passed.I already had a small bump, and I was only in my third month. My mother was amazed and a little worried, so we went in for another prenatal checkup."The babies are both very healthy," the doctor said patiently. "Look, their arms and legs are starting to develop."Tiny shapes were already visible on the screen. I couldn't take my eyes off them. "That's wonderful...""Yes. There's nothing wrong with your body. Last time was just an accident. Take care of yourself, and in just seven months, you'll get to hold them."I held the thin printout in my hand and touched their shadows. Love filled my chest. I'd be a good mom, like my mother."Thank you," I told the doctor sincerely. "See you next month."I tucked the ultrasound printout carefully into my purse and walked out of the hospital with a spring in my step. I had to go to William's studio. We'd planned it a week ago.The Black Rose Hotel had moved into its next phase, and as the designer, I needed to v

Chapter 30 Love You Forever

Evelyn's POVAfter four hours of emergency treatment, Liam was finally out of danger and moved to a regular room.My mother came to the hospital then too. She anxiously checked me over, and only after she was sure the accident hadn't hurt me at all did she finally relax. "Go home and rest first, okay? You've got babies inside you.""No." I looked at Liam, unconscious in the bed, and shook my head. "I want to stay here.""Evelyn—""Mom, I can't leave Liam alone in the hospital. He's like this because of me," I begged her.Noah came back after taking care of all the paperwork. "Alpha Liam's VIP room has a separate rest area inside. If Luna... if Ms. Berkeley wants to stay, she'll have somewhere comfortable to rest."My mother started to waver.I pressed my advantage. "And I fell today too, Mom. It's safer for me to stay at the hospital, isn't it?"She finally nodded and reminded me again, "Get some rest. Call me if anything happens.""And me," Aurora added.I was touched. "I will. Don't
