My Alpha husband had sex seven times in the jungle with the female werewolf warrior Sophia to save her from a heat-inducing drug. When he came back, he held the nearly naked Sophia in his arms and looked down at me, begging for forgiveness. "Mandy, Sophia was drugged trying to save me. I had to help her!" Six months later, my husband begged me again: "Mandy, Sophia is pregnant with my child! You can't have children because of your old injury. Once the baby is born, you can be the child's mother." My heart ached terribly. I held back my tears and calmly replied, "Okay." The pregnancy test report hidden in my hand was crushed into a ball and thrown into the fire. The flames danced. Sophia coughed twice from the smoke. Vincent immediately pulled her into his arms, frowning as he looked at me. "Mandy, Sophia promised me that once the child is born, she'll give it to you to raise. You don't need to threaten her. She won't ruin our relationship." I stirred the ashes in the basin. The smoke made my eyes red. For a moment, I couldn't tell if I was crying because my partner had cheated or for some other reason. I spoke calmly. "Vincent, you can just reject me directly." Vincent panicked and reached out to pull me toward him, begging again. "Mandy, please stop making a scene, okay? Sophia took an enemy's fangs for me, and she was forced to take poison trying to save me. I owe her two lives. Giving her a child in return isn't too much!" Though his tone was humble, his words were entirely protective of Sophia. Seeing my expression darken, the others couldn't sit still either. The werewolf warriors sitting around also begged me. "That's right. Sophia is already pregnant. It wouldn't be too much for Vincent to marry her!" "Luna Mandy, you used to be a warrior yourself. You should understand how dangerous it was for Sophia to desperately save the Alpha from those Rogues' fangs. Even though she's a female warrior, she was seriously injured saving the Alpha. We all saw how much she sacrificed for him." "If you ask me, the Alpha should marry Sophia!" "Shut up!" Vincent roared, cutting them off. "Mandy will always be my only mate! As for Sophia, I'll compensate her." He looked down at the pregnant woman in his arms, his face unconsciously showing distress. I felt my throat tighten. I opened my mouth but couldn't speak. The others didn't know, but Vincent did. I had once fought alongside him and even took a blade for him. That serious injury put my wolf into a deep sleep, and my health completely collapsed after that. I was unconscious for three months. When I woke up, he sat by my hospital bed with red-rimmed eyes, begging me not to participate in any more battles, to give up my duties, to stop taking risks. He said he would protect me for life. And now, he was facing me this way again, but to protect another woman. Sharp pain came from my lower abdomen. I turned and left in silence. Vincent quickly caught up. He gently draped his coat over me and tucked the hair by my ear. "It's cold outside. Be careful not to catch a chill." Then he suddenly sniffed the scent on me. I thought he'd discovered I was pregnant. But he only said, "Your body is weak. Don't come looking for me in such dangerous places anymore. Being exposed to too much death isn't good for your health." Death. Did that mean the child in my belly had already quietly died while I was tortured all night by the pain of my partner's betrayal? I touched my lower abdomen, almost ready to tell him I was pregnant too, but his words interrupted me. "Mandy, Sophia is afraid of the cold. Let her live in that temperature-controlled villa in the suburbs. You go rest at the island for a while." My words stuck in my throat and I swallowed them down. Years ago, when I blocked that blade for him and developed complications, he specially built that villa for me. Living there felt like eternal spring. But the vacation house on that island was surrounded by sea winds on all sides. My current body couldn't withstand it at all. Except for a few days during our honeymoon, we never went there again. It had been abandoned for a long time. He used to place all the best things in front of me. Now he wanted me to give them to Sophia. I was no longer in his heart. I lowered my eyes and agreed. "Okay." Vincent happily kissed my forehead. "Mandy, you're still the most considerate and understanding."

I lay alone on the operating table. The doctor held my hand and comforted me. "Luna, your body is too weak. Unfortunately, this child couldn't be saved." Though I had a premonition, hearing this news still made me clutch the sheets in pain, tears falling silently. My body was in terrible condition. Getting pregnant was already difficult for me. The night Vincent cheated, I suffered in agony all night. Today he brought the other woman before me, and I endured the immense pain caused by his infidelity again. There was no way I could keep this child. My phone suddenly rang. The nurse pressed the answer button and held it to my ear. Vincent's furious voice came through: "Mandy, you've disappointed me so much! How could you do this to Sophia!" I had no idea what he was talking about. My voice was hoarse as I asked: "What are you talking about?" "Sophia was kidnapped, and the address the kidnappers sent is at the island I gave you!" Vincent was screaming hysterically over the phone. "Only the two of us know the location of that island. If it wasn't you, who else could it be!" I was in too much pain to speak. I could only shake my head desperately. But I forgot Vincent couldn't see me. Not hearing my response, he angrily threw out a threat: "If anything happens to Sophia, I'll make you pay a thousand times over!" Only the mechanical beeping remained on the phone. The nurse awkwardly put down the phone. I closed my eyes in despair. My heart was filled with desolation. After the surgery, the doctor wheeled me out of the operating room. Vincent's werewolf warriors suddenly appeared and dragged me off the hospital bed. They bound my hands and feet with cold iron chains. "The Alpha said to bring you to the island too. If the kidnappers won't let Sophia go, they'll use you to pay with your life!" "Are you all crazy? Stop this! She just had surgery!" The doctor ran forward in panic to stop them. But a werewolf warrior pushed him to the ground. I was forcibly shoved into a car. Because of their rough handling, intense pain came from my abdomen. I soon passed out from the pain. I don't know how long passed before I was jolted awake by ice water. I shivered in shock and groggily opened my eyes. Vincent slammed the water basin heavily onto the boat deck. He reached out and grabbed my throat. "Mandy, have I been too good to you all these years? Is that why you've become so cruel and willful that you won't even spare an unborn child?" I was freezing all over, my lips trembling. I couldn't form a complete sentence: "I... I didn't... it wasn't me... I didn't do it..." Vincent didn't believe me. His eyes red, he roughly dragged me off the boat. The pregnant Sophia was tied to the lighthouse, crying pitifully as she called out: "Vincent, it's too dangerous! Don't come over!" Seeing me appear, she cried out to me. "Luna, if you can't tolerate me, I can leave. Why did you have to hurt my child?" I shook my head helplessly. "It wasn't me. I didn't do anything!" "Alpha, the person is gone. They must have run away." The werewolf warriors checked the surroundings for danger and quickly rescued Sophia. Vincent pulled her into his arms, his face full of distress. A werewolf warrior spat at me in disgust. "Ugh! I never thought you were so disgusting!" "Exactly. You're so vicious. How can you compare to Sophia! She's a female warrior who's bled for our Pack!" "Enough." Vincent cut them off with a cold expression, then bent down to speak to me. "Mandy, you went too far this time. Stay here and reflect on what you've done." He held Sophia and turned to leave. I collapsed helplessly on the beach. From a distance, I saw Sophia turn her head and give me a triumphant smile. Three days later, my body had lost all feeling from the sea wind. My lips were cracked and painful, my eyes stinging with constant tears. Just when I thought I would die here, a blurry figure slowly approached me. "Save... save me..." I used all my strength but could only make a weak sound. Before losing consciousness, I heard a slight sigh. "Mandy, what should I do with you?" When I woke up, I was lying on the floor of a basement. Opening my eyes, I met Vincent's complicated gaze. "You're awake?" He brought a cup of warm water to my lips. I instinctively turned my head away. He slammed the cup heavily on the table. "Have you made enough of a scene?" He looked at me with disgust. "I've already decided not to hold the kidnapping of Sophia against you, and you're still throwing a tantrum at me? Can't you be less petty?" I laughed bitterly. He didn't even investigate before deciding it was me. If I really wanted to deal with Sophia, I could have done it six months ago. Why wait until now? "Vincent." Sophia's weak voice rang out. She supported her belly as she slowly walked in from outside. "Why did you come here?" Vincent immediately went forward and carefully pulled her into his arms. "I was worried about Mandy, so I came to check. Is Mandy okay?" Sophia asked timidly. "Don't worry about her. She won't die." Vincent glanced at me with disgust. "You'll stay here for the next few months until Sophia safely gives birth." As they left, the basement door slowly closed. I barely climbed up from the floor and drank all the water on the table in one gulp. A warm current spread through my body. I supported myself and found a box in the corner of the basement. Taking out an encrypted phone from inside, I dialed a number. "I agree to what you said." "Really? You're not lying to me? That's great... Where are you now? I'll come get you," the person on the other end said excitedly. "I still have something to take care of. Wait for me." "Okay, no matter how long, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up, I crawled to the door and knocked on it repeatedly with my hand. After a long time, an impatient voice came from outside. "What now?" It was Vincent's Beta subordinate, Rocco. I spoke to him through the door crack. "Get me some food. I haven't eaten in three days." "Why didn't you starve to death? Wait here. I'll go ask Vincent." The footsteps gradually faded away. When Rocco returned, the basement door finally opened. "Here." An iron basin filled with spoiled food scraps was slammed down in front of me. I frowned and covered my nose. "How can I eat this?" "This is all there is. Take it or leave it." I had no choice but to pick up the basin. Just as I was about to bring it to my lips, I suddenly remembered something else. I looked at Rocco. "Come here for a moment. I have something to tell you about Sophia." Hearing it was about Sophia, Rocco hesitated but still walked over. "What is it... Ah!" Before he could finish, I grabbed him by the throat. My body was extremely weak. I used every ounce of strength I had. After a long time, I finally managed to choke him unconscious. My parents had been the Pack's strongest werewolf warriors, responsible for protecting the Alpha's family. I inherited their bloodline. Before my injury, I was also one of the Pack's strongest werewolf warriors. Later, my parents died in battle and I was adopted by the Alpha. At eighteen, I became Vincent's mate and rarely participated in combat after that. Even later, I blocked a sneak attack meant for Vincent and was seriously injured. I never participated in battle again after that. No one knew about these things except Vincent. I avoided the surveillance cameras in the villa and went upstairs. Just when I thought I could leave smoothly, Vincent rushed in with a medical team. Seeing me face to face, his expression turned fierce as he strode forward. "Slap—!" A heavy slap landed on my face. My face was knocked to the side. I tasted blood in my mouth. "Mandy! Who gave you the nerve to do such a thing!" I had no idea what he was talking about. Vincent continued raging. He kicked me hard in the chest. Several werewolf warriors immediately came forward to restrain my arms, twisting them behind my back. I cried out in pain. Vincent smashed an eerie ceramic figurine hard against me. Shattered porcelain fragments flew everywhere, cutting my cheek. "You've been silent for the past six months, but it turns out you were using dark rituals to curse the child in Sophia's belly!" I looked at the broken baby figurine on the ground, completely bewildered. Vincent snorted coldly again. "I was about to settle accounts with you, and here you are running out on your own. I forgot about your abilities." A sharp pain came from my abdomen. Blood flowed from between my legs. I felt all the warmth in my body slowly draining away. Seeing the bloodstain beneath me, Vincent froze for a moment, then frowned in disgust. "What sympathy-seeking trick are you playing now? Pathetic." I was forced to kneel on the ground. I lifted my head and gave him a bitter smile. "Vincent, since you hate me so much, why not just reject me?" Vincent's eyes suddenly blazed with fury. He strode over and raised his hand to slap me again, but stopped mid-air. He glared at me through gritted teeth. "You want to leave me? Never! You can only be my woman for life!" I laughed mockingly. After all these years as husband and wife, we'd come to this. It was all my fault. Sophia's pained moans came from upstairs. Vincent's expression changed immediately. With a wave of his hand, he rushed upstairs with the medical team. After a long time, he finally came out of Sophia's room. Seeing me lying weakly on the ground, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but he still coldly turned away. "Throw her into the jungle to fend for herself." Following orders, the werewolf warriors dragged me to an SUV. The car drove to the outskirts of a dense jungle. I was kicked out of the vehicle and rolled onto the ground. The sky quickly darkened. I walked in the forest for a long time before finding a water source. Crouching down, I greedily gulped the water. When I looked up, I met a pair of sharp green eyes across the water. All the blood in my body instantly froze. I had encountered these crazed Rogues before during combat, but back then my wolf was still awake and my body was strong. Now, I was no match for these fierce creatures at all. I didn't dare move, afraid of alerting it. The crazed Rogue across from me couldn't tell if I posed a threat. It just crouched there observing me. We faced off for a long time. I was exhausted, my consciousness gradually fading. Seeing me let down my guard, it suddenly leaped up, about to pounce on me. I closed my eyes in despair. Suddenly, a scream exploded in my ears, accompanied by the beast's agonized howl. The pain of being torn apart that I'd imagined never came. I weakly opened my eyes slightly and saw the Rogue lying on the ground, convulsing and coughing blood. A pair of strong arms picked me up. I looked up along those arms and met a pair of worried eyes.
