My sister Alpha Cynthia and I were kidnapped by enemies at the same time . By the time Alpha Kennard arrived , I was barely alive , while my sister , who had handed me over to the rogues , was completely unharmed . The rogues held us both and forced him to choose one of us to survive . He looked at me with concern , but shouted my sister’s name . The bullet missed my sister and pierced through my left arm , hitting the rogues . I lay in a pool of blood , watching my husband and my sister embrace tightly . “ Choose your luna , or choose Alpha Cynthia , Alpha Kennard . You only have one chance . Alpha Kennard stood across from us , glaring angrily at the rogues When he glanced at me with an apologetic look in his eyes , my already pale face turned even paler . the rogues held both of us tightly , like we were his last shield , making it impossible for us to move . Next to me , Alpha Cynthia sobbed quietly , looking utterly pitiful , yet there wasn’t a scratch or speck of blood on her . “ Kennard , choose Sis . She’s your Luna , and you need to protect her …… ee to protect “Even if I die here , it’s okay , she clutched her heart . “ As long as you’re happy , Kennard . Her tears fell continuously like pearls , while I was too tortured to speak . I looked at Alpha Kennard , hoping he’d remember our five years of marriage . the rogues held claws to our throats . “ I choose Alpha Cynthia ! Don’t hurt her ! ” Alpha Kennard looked at me with pain and regret , though his voice was unwavering , filled only with urgency to rescue Alpha Cynthia . I forced a smile , though it felt like a mask cracking under pressure . Two days of relentless torment in the rogues ‘ den had drained every ounce of strength from my If not for the overwhelming dose of wolfsbane coursing through my veins , locking my wolf away and rendering me unable to shift , I wouldn’t be in such a vulnerable position . I didn’t understand . Why does my mate love another woman ? If he loved her so much , why didn’t he marry her in the first place ? If he loved her , why did he keep me trapped for five years ? Blood still seeped from my wounds , yet I felt no pain . The rogues ‘ claws pressed harder against my throat , drawing a thin line of blood . “ This is it ,” I thought . “ I’m going to die because my mate is a complete idiot . I closed my eyes , ready to meet whatever came next . “ Bang ! ” The expected pain came from somewhere else . I turned my head to see my left arm pierced by a bullet , and the rogues falling behind me , looking at Alpha Kennard in disbelief . The shooter was the person beside him , clearly acting on his consent . Alpha Cynthia and I shielded the rogues , yet she was closer to the heart , but the bullet hit Clearly , he chose to protect Alpha Cynthia again . Blood poured from my wound , soaking into the earth . My legs gave out , and I collapsed . Seeing this , Alpha Kennard moved to catch me , but Alpha Cynthia threw herself into his arms , crying . “ I was so scared , Kennard . I thought I’d never see you again . As my consciousness faded , the last thing I saw was medical personnel rushing to my side . While my husband stood five meters away, comforting someone else .
