The wind at the cemetery was as sharp as a blade, cutting against my face and numbing my skin. I stood before the cold stone, staring at the name engraved on it—Noah. “For the glory and safety of the pack, he was sacrificed." Leon stood beside me, his voice chillingly calm, as if the"sacrifice"he spoke of was not our son, but merely a disposable piece on a chessboard. I turned to look at him, rage burning in my chest, threatening to consume me whole. "Sacrifice?"I repeated each syllable slowly, "Are you telling me that you personally killed our son for the glory of the pack?" Leon's gaze darkened slightly, his voice devoid of emotion."Yes." My fingers trembled slightly, my palms turning pale from the tight grip. I knew that if I continued to press him now, he would respond with the same icy indifference—or worse, complete silence. But I couldn’t ask. I couldn’t let him realize that I already knew the truth—Noah didn’t die for the pack.He died for Selina. My sister. The woman he truly loved. A chill ran down my spine, but I forced myself to maintain my composure.I took a slow, deep breath, making my voice sound as steady as possible."So that’s your final answer?" Leon looked at the tombstone, his expression showing no guilt—only the absolute certainty of a man who believed he had made the right decision. "This is the truth, Evelyn.You need to accept it." Accept it? My hands clenched tighter, nails digging into my palms. How I wanted to rip apart his mask, to demand why he didn’t even bother lying to me, why he didn’t offer a single excuse to ease my pain. But I couldn’t. If I exposed him now, what would he do? Show remorse? Explain himself?Deny it? No, he wouldn’t. He would simply give me the same cold stare and say, "It’s done.You can’t change it." And then, he would start guarding against me—perhaps even eliminate me first. I couldn’t let him know that I had seen through everything. So I had to endure it. I slowly loosened my grip, making my emotions appear more controlled. Lowering my head, I fixed my gaze on Noah’s tombstone, as if I was truly accepting Leon’s so-called"truth." "I understand, "I said softly, my voice devoid of any discernible emotion. Leon studied me for a few seconds, as if trying to gauge my reaction.Finally, he nodded and turned to leave the cemetery. Only when his figure disappeared completely from sight did I unclench my hands. The deep crescent marks left by my nails had broken the skin, and droplets of blood dripped onto the black marble tombstone, merging with the engraved letters. I gently traced Noah’s name, whispering, "Mommy won’t let your death be in vain." A few days ago "Mom, why hasn’t Dad been training with me lately?" Noah looked up at me, his dark eyes filled with confusion and a hint of disappointment. I crouched down, running my fingers through his soft hair, offering a gentle smile."Your dad has a lot of responsibilities right now.Once he’s done, I’ll ask him to take you hunting, okay?" Noah frowned slightly, reluctant but still nodding."But he promised me." My heart clenched.I had long grown used to Leon’s coldness, but Noah was still just a child.He didn’t understand the burden of power, nor did he know how ruthless his father could be. "Then…can you train with me, Mom?"he asked expectantly. I smiled warmly."Of course." His face instantly brightened as he grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the training grounds. After practicing some basic techniques, Noah suddenly stopped, looking at me with serious determination."Mom, I’m going to get really strong.When I grow up, I’ll protect you." My chest tightened, my eyes burning with unshed tears. I cupped his cheek gently, my voice soft."Alright.Then Mommy will wait for the day Noah grows up to protect me." But Noah would never get the chance to grow up. Leon and Selina’s Conversation The dimly lit room smelled faintly of medicine. Selina lay on the bed, her face pale, her breathing weak.Leon stood beside her, gazing down at her with conflicted eyes. "What are you hesitating for?"Selina’s voice was frail but firm, carrying an unshakable determination."I’ve already checked.Noah’s liver is a perfect match for mine." Leon’s hands curled into fists.He remained silent for a long time before finally speaking in a low voice, "He is my son." Selina’s lips curved into a weak smile, a hint of mockery in her expression."But he is also Evelyn’s son." The room fell into a brief silence. "Leon, we don’t have another choice, "Selina whispered, her voice barely audible."Do you know what the doctors said?If I don’t get the transplant soon, I won’t live past three more months." Leon’s breathing grew heavier.He looked at Selina’s frail face, memories of their past flashing through his mind.The conflict in his heart slowly crumbled, replaced by a chilling resolve. Finally, he nodded, his voice low and unwavering."I understand."

The night was dark and silent.The entire house seemed to be swallowed by an endless abyss. I pushed open the study door and walked cautiously towards the safe in the corner. Leon’s safe—there must be secrets inside that he didn’t want me to know. My fingers hovered over the keypad, quickly running through possible combinations in my mind.I tried Noah’s birthday first—incorrect.Then, I entered my own birthday—still incorrect. My heart sank. Finally, I tried entering Selina’s birthday— Beep— The electronic lock clicked open. I froze, my breath catching in my throat.This man…he actually used Selina’s birthdayas the password?! A bitter taste filled my mouth as my hands clenched into fists, my palms damp with cold sweat.Leon, let’s see what you’ve been hiding! Taking a deep breath, I reached out with trembling fingers and pulled the safe door wide open.A stack of documents was neatly arranged inside. My eyes darted over the papers, flipping through them rapidly. A bank transaction record caught my attention. —Leon had transferred a huge sum to a surgeon at a private hospital. Then, I found a death certificate.My fingers trembled as I traced over the name—Noah.At the bottom, Leon’s signature stood clearly in black ink. Next, a medical report made my blood run cold— Donor:Noah Recipient:Selina Organ:Liver transplant My body swayed, and I had to grip the desk to steady myself. So his so-called‘honor and safety’were all lies.He killed our son, not for the pack, but for Selina! I bit down hard on my lip, the metallic taste of blood spreading in my mouth. The pain was the only thing keeping me from breaking down. I pulled out my phone and quickly snapped pictures of every single document. Leon, I will make you pay for this! I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.My heart felt like it was being strangled, the pressure unbearable. Leon’s phone lay on the nightstand, its screen dark yet tempting, like an unspoken invitation. I needed to know what else he was hiding. Carefully, I reached out and picked up his phone.I entered the passcode—Noah’s birthday.Incorrect.My birthday.Incorrect again. My fingers clenched tighter around the device. Taking a deep breath, I entered Selina’s birthday. Unlocked. My heart pounded as I scrolled through his messages. Soon, I found his conversation with the doctor— Leon:I don’t want any loose ends.You understand? Doctor:Don’t worry, all records have been erased.Even an autopsy won’t find anything unusual. Leon:Good.Once the transplant is done, I don’t want to hear Noah’s name ever again. My grip on the phone tightened.Not only did he kill Noah, but he also made sure to cover it up, making it look like an accident… But the worst was yet to come.I kept scrolling and found his messages with Selina— Selina:Now that Noah is dead, we can finally be together forever, Leon.I love you. Leon:Once you recover, everything will be easier. Selina:It’s so exhausting pretending to care about Evelyn every time I visit her. Leon:I know, but you have to keep up the act so she doesn’t suspect anything. My hands trembled, my stomach twisted in disgust. Selina had been coming to visit me all this time, pretending to be a loving sister, while secretly sleeping with Leon behind my back.And I had been completely blind to it. Bile rose in my throat.I had never felt so sick in my life. At that moment, Leon shifted in his sleep and opened his eyes. "Why aren’t you sleeping?"His voice was low and groggy. He reached out and pulled me into his arms, resting his chin on my head before pressing a kiss to my forehead. My body went stiff, every fiber of my being screaming in revulsion.But I forced myself to remain calm, to act as if nothing had changed. "Just couldn’t sleep, "I whispered, managing a small smile as I quickly placed his phone back. Leon didn’t seem to suspect anything.He closed his eyes and drifted back to sleep. But I lay awake, staring at the ceiling until morning. At breakfast, Leon’s phone buzzed.He glanced at the screen, then stood up abruptly. "I won’t be home tonight, "he said hastily before grabbing his coat and heading out the door. I watched him leave, my lips curling into a cold smile. Was he going to see Selina? Just then, a wave of nausea hit me. My stomach twisted violently, and I barely made it to the bathroom before retching into the sink. A terrifying thought struck me.Could I be…pregnant? My hands trembled as I dialed the hospital to make an appointment. An hour later, I arrived at the hospital for a check-up. As I walked toward the examination room, familiar voices drifted from the hallway. I turned my head, and my breath caught in my throat. Leon and Selina were standing together, their expressions uneasy.Selina’s hand was gently placed on her stomach. "How far along?"Leon’s voice was low and urgent. "Almost two months, "Selina said softly, a small smile playing on her lips. I froze in place, my body turning to ice.Selina was pregnant.With Leon’s child. Leon reached out and held her hand."Don’t worry.I’ll take care of everything." My fingernails dug into my palm.My head spun, but I forced myself to walk past them without a word. Five minutes later, I sat in the doctor’s office, gripping the edges of my chair as the doctor studied my test results. "Congratulations, Evelyn, "the doctor said with a smile."You’re pregnant." I stared at the test results in shock, my mind going blank. I was pregnant.With Leon’s child. My hands trembled as I clutched the paper. Outside, in the hallway, Leon and Selina were discussing their future with their unborn baby. And I stood there, holding my own pregnancy results, my heart drowning in pain and uncertainty. Should I keep this child?

I stared at the ceiling of the hospital room, my mind slowly filling with the bitter reality. I lost the child. The doctor’s words hit me like nails, driving into my heart with such force that it became hard to breathe. I had decided to keep him.I had made up my mind. But in the end, I couldn’t protect him. When the doctor announced the results, my mind went blank.I didn’t even shed a tear. I don’t remember how I was wheeled out of the operating room, nor how I made it back to the hospital room. It wasn’t until there was a soft knock on the door that I looked up, seeing a man standing in the doorway, his expression a complex mix of emotions. I raised my head, and the moment I saw him, countless memories flashed through my mind. "Ethan..."I whispered, my voice hoarse and strained. Ethan, Selina’s husband, and Leon’s subordinate, an Omega. In their family, Omega was at the bottom of the hierarchy, and Ethan’s life was nothing short of miserable. His wife was cold and selfish, and his Alpha was a man who would sell out everything for his own gain. He, like me, lived in that house as nothing more than a joke. Ethan stepped inside and pulled a chair to sit by my bed, silently watching me.His gaze held no sympathy, only suppressed anger and a hint of...expectation? He asked softly, "Do you want revenge?" My fingertips trembled slightly, and my gaze wavered. Revenge? Leon killed my son, betrayed our marriage. Selina took my husband's heart and even killed my child just to survive... They both owed me—blood debts. But...should I seek revenge? I closed my eyes, exhausted, leaning back against the pillow, my voice low:"I need time to think." Ethan nodded, not pressing further.He simply sat quietly by my bed, giving me a brief moment to breathe. The day I was allowed to leave the hospital, it was drizzling outside.The air smelled of dampness, and the cold seeped into my bones, making me shiver uncontrollably. Back at home, I waited for Leon’s call. But nothing came. I waited all day, but not a single message from him. No concern, no apology, not even a token greeting. I moved from disappointment to anger, and finally, all that was left was an endless despair. He had killed our son for Selina’s liver.Now, I had lost our child again, and he couldn’t even spare a word. I let out a bitter laugh, the emotions churning inside me threatening to drown me. Leon, so you’re not even trying to pretend anymore, are you? Just as I was about to head upstairs to rest, my phone screen suddenly lit up. I quickly grabbed the phone, a glimmer of hope flashing in my heart.But when I opened the message, I saw it wasn’t from Leon—it was from Ethan. A photo. When I saw the image, my blood froze, and the fury swirling in my chest almost drove me insane. In the photo, Leon and Selina were lying on the bed, their bodies pressed together.Leon’s hand was shamelessly roaming over Selina, their lips tangled in an intimate kiss, lost in a passionate embrace. The photo was taken today. Just a few hours ago, I had been discharged from the hospital and returned to this empty house, waiting for Leon’s call. I stared at the photo, my nails digging into my palm. So, my pain meant nothing to him. He doesn’t care about me, or the unborn child. And Selina, she didn’t just want my husband.She wanted me to lose everything. I took a deep breath, trying to steady my breathing.But my anger, like a fire, couldn’t be extinguished. My hand slowly clenched into a fist, my knuckles whitening, and my gaze became cold. Leon, Selina, do you really think I won’t do anything
