---- Only Garrett remained, sitting there drinking. Seeing me emerge, he slowly lifted his head. The dim light fell across his face, making his expression unreadable. "Aria, where did you go today?" "None of your business." I didn't want to say more, but Garrett suddenly smashed his glass. He strode over to me. "Stop acting so pure and innocent. Don't think I don't know you went off to mess around with other Alphas." "Aria, are you really that desperate? Are you blaming me for neglecting you lately? If that's the case, I'll give you what you want!" With that, Garrett roughly tore my clothes and ---- dragged me toward the bed. I was startled by his actions. I struggled desperately. "Garrett, are you insane? Our child...!" Garrett had lost all reason and wouldn't listen to anything. He bit down hard on my shoulder. I pushed Garrett away with all my strength and slapped him. Enraged, Garrett didn't hold back either. He released his Alpha wolf's dominance to suppress me. Having just suffered severe injuries and lost my child, my wolf had no power to resist. A trickle of blood slowly slid down from my forehead. Garrett froze for a moment, instinctively reaching out to help me. ---- "When did you become so fragile..." I staggered back a few steps, trying to speak. But my body couldn't support me, and I collapsed.
