My Alpha Father Went Mad With Regret, But Mom and I Were Done With Him

On the day my father,Adrian Greywood,was confirmed as the Alpha heir of the northern Greywood Pack,he tore up his future Luna vow with my mother in front of everyone and demoted her to an Omega. And Lily,the personal maid who had disrespected my mother again and again,became the future Luna. From then on,Mom became Lily's scapegoat. At the elders'banquet,Lily said the Beta families were nothing but a bunch of stubborn old bones. So Dad punished Mom by making her kneel before the stone steps of the Packhouse,holding a red-hot wolf crest in her hands until the elders'banquet ended. "You failed to stop the future Luna and caused her to say the wrong thing.You deserve to be punished." After Mom's palms were burned raw,she asked Dad to return the moonstone pendant they had exchanged when they made their mate vow. Lily kept misreading the prayers to the Moon Goddess. So Dad punished Mom by making her kneel beside the altar and copy the Pack law code a hundred times. "You failed to teach her properly.You deserve to be disciplined." The night the silver wound on Mom's wrist flared up again,she asked Dad to return the obsidian ring from their bonding ceremony. Then,during the moonlit hunt,Lily stole prey from another Pack and startled the current Luna's youngest pup badly enough to injure him. When the Alpha was about to punish her severely,Dad,red-eyed,begged my mother,who was pregnant with a wolf pup,to take the silver lash for Lily. "Lily was only afraid of losing.She didn't mean it.Take the punishment for her." "I promise,this is the last time.I'll make it up to you properly from now on." Mom did not cry the way she used to.She accepted it calmly. When the pup in her belly dissolved into bloody water,I saw a blurred dark-red rose mark rise on her wrist. It was a mark I had never seen before. Mom looked at that mark and said softly, "Nora,when the marks becomes completely clear,Mommy will return to our real home." ... Servants carried basin after basin of bright-red bloody water past me. I did not know what that blood rose meant.I only knew Mom's body was getting colder and colder. I clutched Mom's hand. "Mommy,Nora doesn't want you to die!You said you would stay with me while I grew up!" She smiled at me.There was no pain left in her eyes. "Mommy isn't dying.Mommy is going home." I trembled. "Mommy,we haven't had a home for a long time." Back then,Mom had pitied Lily and brought her here from the Bennett family when she married. But Lily accused the Bennetts of mistreating her. So,to vent Lily's anger,Dad framed the Bennett family for secretly colluding with the Greywood Pack's sworn enemy,the Blood Moon Pack. He had only meant to scare Mom.He had not expected Lily to accidentally leave the forged secret letter in the council hall. The Alpha was furious and ordered the execution of the entire Bennett family,who had served three generations of Greywood Alphas. Mom and I begged Dad to explain. But Dad said Lily had always been lowborn,and after she became future Luna,the elders all looked down on her. If they found out he had forged evidence for Lily,every elder would decide Lily was a burden dragging down the Alpha heir. Because of that,Dad admitted with his own mouth that the Bennett family had colluded with an enemy Pack. The Bennetts had once poured all their strength into helping him secure his place as heir.In the end,all of them were dragged onto the judgment platform. Carl,who used to let me ride on his shoulders to look at the moon,Anna,who made my little cloaks,and countless warriors and wolf pups all died. Mom broke down.She cut her wrist open with a silver blade,wanting to let all her blood drain away. But Dad held me in his arms and threatened her,forcing her to survive. I threw myself onto Mom. "I don't want Mommy to leave.I don't want the last person who loves me to leave too." The moment I finished speaking,a tall shadow fell over us from behind. Dad lifted me onto his lap,stroked Mom's cold cheek,and looked at her with eyes full of pain. "Evelyn,I know you blame me for not protecting our pup,but no matter how angry you are,you can't use death to frighten Nora." "I brought some things.You and Nora can see if there is anything you like." Dad was always like this. After he did something wrong,he used whatever Lily had already picked through to compensate us. Mom did not even look.She only stared at the wrist guard on his arm. "I want that." Dad froze for a moment,displeased. "You braided this for me yourself on the night I shifted for the first time." Mom's eyes were empty. "I gave it to the mate who loved me most.You are not him anymore,so I want it back." Dad's arms trembled around me,and his voice went hoarse. "Evelyn,I know I've wronged you both.But Lily has no inner wolf,and other wolves have bullied her.She's too fragile,and she won't accept my help.I made her future Luna only to save her." "Evelyn,you are the only one I love." Dad said that every time. But even I could tell Dad was not doing it to save Lily. He had simply fallen for her.

Mom used to say that one day,I should find a mate who knew how to respect me. Someone like Dad,who would make her pancakes in the morning,brush her hair for her,and give her the best prey and the warmest shawl. But after Lily came here,he gave Lily the moonlight perfume Mom loved. He also gave Lily the maple-leaf brooch Grandma had left Mom. I knew he did not love Mom anymore. "I only want this." Mom's hand trembled,but she insisted on asking for the wrist guard. Dad still would not give it. Not until Lily's people came. "Heir Adrian,Lady Lily has been terrified by a nightmare.She begs you to go see her." The next second,Dad shoved me aside so hard that I hit the fireplace. He immediately rose to leave,but Mom clutched the hem of his clothes and would not let go. "Give me the wrist guard." The maid kept urging him.Dad sighed helplessly and threw the wrist guard onto the bed. He even took away every healer in Mom's room. Mom had lost so much blood,and the bleeding still had not stopped. I wanted to beg him to leave one healer behind. But Mom held my hand. "Be good,Nora.Mommy is fine." The way Mom used to care for me,I blew gently on the wound on her belly. At last,she closed her eyes to rest. But then Dad came in again,bringing Lily with him. "Lily wants blueberry ice cream,the kind she once ate at the Bennett estate." "Now the Bennett family only has you left,Evelyn.Go make it." Mom's voice was very soft. "I have just lost my pup and am covered in blood.I'm afraid I might ruin the heir and future Luna's good mood." Lily bit her lip and knelt on the floor. "This is all my fault.I hurt Evelyn's pup,and I caused the Bennett family to die." Dad helped her up with aching tenderness. But when he looked at Mom,his eyes instantly turned cold and hard. He yanked Mom out of bed. "When you talk like that,Lily will think you hate her.She has no wolf.She's sensitive and fragile.It's only a dessert.Can't you be a little more sensible?" Seeing the pain on Mom's face,I stepped in front of them. "Dad,Mommy doesn't feel well.Nora can make it!" But Mom pushed me behind the old maid. She looked at Dad coldly and laughed. "So this is your compensation?How disgusting." Dad panicked for a second,but in the end,he said nothing. The ice cream was not carried to the table until noon the next day. I went to find Mom and found her lying motionless on the floor,her dress covered in blood. I ran crying to Dad. He was feeding Lily the ice cream. "Dad,Mommy is bleeding so much.She's going to die!" Dad's expression changed,and he got up to leave. But Lily grabbed him,her eyes red. "Adrian,Evelyn must be angry because she had to make dessert for an Omega like me.She only wants to make you feel sorry for her." "It was my fault anyway.Go to her.I'll clean myself up and apologize to Evelyn." In an instant,anger entered Dad's eyes. He slammed his hand hard on the table. "She's spoiled by my favor.She has always tolerated pain better than anyone.It was only one lost pup.What's there to make such a fuss about?" He pointed at me. "And you.At such a young age,she has already taught you to lie with tricks like this.Disgusting.Go back and tell her I'm busy.If she likes acting so much,let her put on the show by herself all night." Before,if Mom's hand was only burned red,Dad would be frantic with worry. How had it become like this? I cried and knelt at Dad's feet. "I'm not lying.Mommy really fainted!I heard the healer say she would die.She really will die.Dad,please go look at her!" "Get out!" Dad kicked me away. I hit the leg of a chair.My back hurt so much,and my forehead hurt too.Blood ran into my eyes. But the father who used to cry with fear whenever I had a fever did not look at me again. He picked Lily up and casually ordered the guards, "Enough.Take Nora back.Without my permission,she is not allowed to step out of her room again." I soon passed out. When I woke again,I was already in the eastern manor,and there was noise outside. As soon as I stepped out,I saw Mom kneeling on the ground,her face deathly pale. Lily was crying in Dad's arms. "Evelyn,I know you hate me,but why did you put wolfsbane in the ice cream?If I hadn't only eaten a little,I might never have been able to bear pups."

Mom swayed where she knelt,unable even to stay upright. "It wasn't me." Lily pounded Dad's shoulder,crying even harder. "Adrian,you have to help me!Last night you said you wanted me to give you a whole litter of beautiful little wolf pups!" Dad frowned,as if hesitating. I rushed over. "It wasn't Mommy!Last time,Lily said Mommy didn't know gratitude because she refused to drink spoiled meat broth,and punished her by cutting off half a year's supplies." "We can't even trade for fresh herbs,let alone wolfsbane!" Dad's face turned ugly. "When did that happen?How could anyone eat spoiled meat broth?" Lily froze,then looked at Dad in grievance. "Are you saying I punished her wrongly?When I was little,I ate so many spoiled things in the kitchen,and I still survived just fine." "I know you think I'm dirty and deserve to be poisoned.You don't want to stand up for me,so you keep finding fault with me!" "If that's how it is,then I don't want the future Luna position at all!" Dad pulled her back and kissed her forehead the way he used to kiss Mom and me. "Don't say things in anger.You are my mate.Whatever you say is the truth." "Handle it according to Pack law.Omega Evelyn poisoned the future Luna.Drag her to the training ground and give her twenty strokes of the silver lash." Before,Dad would never punish Mom after only a few words from someone else. But Lily was not pleased. "I know.I was born low,and my life is worth nothing.Thank you for your mercy,Heir Adrian.I just wonder whether more people will poison me in the future!" Dad sighed. "Then what does Lily want?I'll do whatever you want,all right?" Lily looked at him with reddened eyes. "She fed me wolfsbane.She should taste it herself." Dad looked at her tearful eyes and barely hesitated. "Fine.Then force wolfsbane down her throat and make her remember this lesson." Mom gave a bitter laugh. "Adrian Greywood,I truly regret choosing you." Dad looked at the emptiness in Mom's eyes and seemed to panic. He walked over,but he did not help her up.His voice dropped very low. "I know Lily set you up because she feels insecure and doesn't want you to give birth to an heir before she does." "But I can't embarrass her in public and make her lose the authority of the future Luna." "I'll have them switch the wolfsbane for a blood tonic.We once agreed we would have both sons and daughters.I won't let anything happen to you.Trust me." After saying that,he left with Lily without looking back. Mom was fed three large bowls of bitter medicine. But before long,she was curled up on the ground in pain,and blood stained the stone path red. "Mommy!You're bleeding!Why is this happening?" No matter how I pressed my hands over it,I could not stop the speed of her bleeding. I hurried to get up and find Dad. But Mom held me back. The blood-rose mark on her wrist was becoming clearer and clearer,bright red as blood. She cried. "It's all right.Mommy is all right.Don't beg him.Mommy doesn't have many days left here.Going to him won't help." "Mommy only wants to look at you properly.Does yesterday's wound still hurt?Mommy is sorry.I didn't protect you,and I didn't put medicine on you in time.Don't blame Mommy,all right?" I cried so hard I could barely breathe. "Mommy,I'm not hurt.Nora isn't hurt.Nothing will happen to you.I'll go get the healing potion grandfather left for us.It will save you!" I rushed to the storeroom for the potion,only for the steward to tell me that the last bottle had just been taken by Dad to help Lily recover her health. My legs went weak,but I still rushed to the hall. "Dad,you lied!You said Mommy would be fine!You lied!" He glanced at me and seemed about to rise,but after murmuring a few words to Lily,he closed the door. No matter how I pounded on it,the door stayed tightly shut. The guards threw me out of the manor again.I looked at Mom,who had passed out,and hugged her body as it lost its warmth. "Mommy,don't leave Nora.What can I do to save you?" Mom gripped my hand,her eyes full of tears and reluctance. "Stay with Mommy for one more night.The last night."
