To Love Is to Suffer
The night before my due date, a pack of rogues kidnapped my Alpha mate, Louis Ross.
To save him, I traded myself.
The rogues swarm with excitement when they had me, tearing off my clothes and growling filthy words into my ears.
Ripping open my belly, they tore my pup to pieces.
I reach out to Louis through our mind-link, only for him not to answer.
…
When it was over, he held me in his arms, crying as he vowed to slaughter every last rogue for what they had done to me and our pup.
I heard his Betta chatting with him before I lost consciousness. "Mr. Ross, you looked so impressive. I would have been fooled if I hadn't known it was all an act. Don't you think you're going too far by letting a pack of rogues violate your Luna just so you could marry Ms. Amanda? She was carrying your pup..."
"Only Amanda will be my Luna. I had to ruin Jody's reputation to justify stripping her of that title. The pup? I never intended to let it be born."
My wolf let out a cry so raw it felt like the sky shattered.
The mate whom I loved and protected with everything? He loved my stepsister, Amanda Singleton. Even our pup was nothing more than a sacrifice for her.
