Chapter 2

• I got rushed to the hospital.
• The doctor warned me, “Ma’am, your condition is critical. You need surgery now. Call your mate to sign the consent.”
• “I’ll sign. I’m her brother.” A low voice cut in.
• Alpha Carlos, my brother by blood, squeezed my hand.
• “Don’t be scared. I’ll be right outside.” His warmth and steady calmness only made me feel more ashamed.
• Three years ago, I chose Miles over my Alpha family.
• It broke their hearts.
• They pushed me into the operating room.
• While lying on the cold table, it all came back to me like a tide. The past five years of being Miles’s mate.
• I wasn’t born an Omega. I’m an Alpha’s daughter, from the strongest pack—the Silver Moon Pack.
• From the moment I pulled Miles off the battlefield, I fell for him at first sight.
• He was blind then. I cared for him in silence for three months, then took him back to Stone Pack.
• Miles swore he’d repay me, giving me a moonstone bracelet.
• It was the only valuable thing he had.
• His vow was so sincere. I can still hear it.
• Back then, Miles wasn’t an Alpha. Just a wolf with no real standing.
• My Alpha family didn’t think much of him. They hated the idea of us together.
• But I believed that without my family’s power, I could still make Miles love me for me.
• With potions, I hid what I was and pretended to be a plain Omega. I stayed with him through the worst.
• Selene dumped him for power. I blew all my savings on him.
• I ran around fixing things for him, eventually taking him into the best warrior training camp.
• In the end, Miles rose to become a candidate to be the Alpha of Stone Pack.
• On the day the Alphas honored him, he proposed to me.
• Under the Moon Goddess, he vowed he’d never abandon me.
• It was the happiest day of my life.
• Was there really no way back for us?
• “The patient’s blood pressure is crashing," the doctor suddenly said. "The baby won’t make it… Prep for resuscitation!”
• “…Please, I’m begging you, save my baby!”
• Tears fell, but my voice was gone.
• It turned out that once the pain got bad, words just stopped.
• The operating room turned into chaos. My mind went dim.
• Through Mindlink, Carlos kept pleading with me to hold on.
• He used my phone and called Miles over and over.
• He finally got through—only for breathy, dirty moans to spill from the other end.
• “Miles, quit it. Your mate is calling.”
• “Forget that bitch. Baby, you’re so tight—I’m coming!”
• Every word hit me like a knife. The pain in my body was nothing compared to the wreckage in my chest.
• Three hours of pure hell.
• The surgery ended. And my first pup was gone. Forever.
• I thought I’d cry, but my eyes were dry.
• Ever since Miles started faking amnesia, I’d ran out of tears.
• Alpha Carlos gripped my hand at the bedside. Mom and Dad came too.
• Only then did I see it—the Alpha parents who used to be unstoppable in my memory suddenly looked so old.
• Dad’s voice was hoarse. “I’ve already sent people to find Miles. We’ll drag him here to take care of you.”
• “No, Dad.” I’d made up my mind. “I don’t want Miles anymore.”
• This rotten mate bond? It was time to end it.
