Chapter 3 When I opened my eyes again, all I could see was sterile white. I was back in the pack hospital. The healer frowned at me. "Luna, how could you be so careless? You just had a miscarriage and went wandering around? If you keep pushing yourself like this, you may never be able to carry a pup again." Just one sentence, and my body collapsed onto the bed, drained of all strength. It felt like there was a gaping hole in my chest, and the cold wind was howling through it. At that moment, a sudden commotion came from outside the window on the first floor. Four or five police cars and fire trucks had pulled up. Medical staff lined up as if preparing for a full-scale rescue. Even the news on my phone had picked it up. [Alpha of the Bloodmoon Pack mobilizes emergency services to rescue his lover from a car accident!] The nurses around me crowded by the window, watching the drama unfold. "This is insane. That she-wolf got hit by a stroller, and her mate's reacting like it was a deadly crash. What a spoiled brat.' "You don't get it. The Alpha might not see it that way at all. Maybe that's just how they flirt. Could be their kind of fun, you know?" In the next room, Damian was actually raising his voice at Quinn, something unheard of. "Why didn't you explain things clearly? I thought it was serious, like really serious!" Quinn sat on the bed with a pout, arms crossed. "Ugh, you jerk! So now I'm annoying you? Is it because I interrupted your alone time with Luna?" Damian let out a heavy sigh in defeat. "You little fool." "I'm not angry about you interrupting, or that you weren't clear. You have no idea how worried I was about you." And just like that, the two of them embraced, crying in each other's arms. Separated by one thin wall, I felt like a cockroach in a gutter, quietly watching the happiness that would never belong to me. Moments ago, I had been told I might never be able to bear pups again. And even now, Damian was still softening because of one of Quinn's pranks. Chapter 3 2.68% I ripped the IV out of my arm and fled like a deserter. I didn't expect to run straight into Damian, who had stepped out to take a call. "Norah?" The next second, realization dawned on his face. "So, throwing a tantrum wasn't enough, you followed us to the hospital now?" I clutched my medical report tightly. The truth caught in my throat like a bone, sharp and cruel. I couldn't get the words out, no matter how hard I tried. "I might not be able to..." Damian frowned, waiting for me to continue. But before I could speak, a piercing scream echoed from inside. "Stay away from me! I swear I'll report this to the werewolf police!" "Quinn!" I rushed after him. I rushed after him only to find Quinn's hospital room vandalized with curses scrawled in red paint. [Give me back my pup] [Go to hell, you bitch] [Murder must be repaid with blood] Quinn was curled up on the hospital bed, trembling. The moment she saw Damian, she leapt into his arms. "I'm sorry, Damian! I swear, I won't mess with Luna ever again, I promise, please forgive me...' Strangers in the room turned to me, nodding their heads with respect. >> "Luna, we already took care of this she-wolf just like you instructed. Everything's done exactly as you said. Are you satisfied?" I frowned in confusion. "I don't even know who you..." Before I could finish, a loud, stinging slap landed across my cheek. Damian's chest heaved with fury. "Norah!" Chapter 3 2.68% "Is it because I've been too lenient with you? How could you do something so vile?" "So that's why you came to the hospital, huh?!" Staring at him in disbelief, my voice shook uncontrollably. "After all this time... you still choose to believe her?" Damian hesitated for a split second. But in the very next moment, Quinn's cries grew louder as she clung desperately to his waist, refusing to let
