I blinked. “What?”

“You had a miscarriage because you had sex!” he hissed, his gaze piercing me like a dagger.

The blood seemed to drain from my face. Pregnant? Again? That was too soon.

A strange sense of relief washed over me when I heard the baby was gone. If I had really been pregnant, they might have forced me to give birth, and I would have died before I could see my mother.

“You’re smiling? Are you happy that you lost my child after sleeping with another man?!” Logan jumped to his feet in a rage, pointing at my face.

I realized my mistake. “No! There’s no relationship between me and that man. This happened because I knelt down—”

“Stop defending him!”

Logan grabbed my shoulder roughly. Rage consumed him. His wolf claws extended, ready to tear my body apart.

Fear gripped me as I saw the murderous intent clearly radiating from Logan’s eyes. His grip was so painful that tears streamed down my face.

Logan's anger immediately faded when he saw my tears. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger.

“Mia, you are my woman. I forgive you for trying to seduce the Alpha Moonstone Heir. But I will not tolerate you seducing another man again.”

“You've known me for a long time, can't you trust me even a little?”

"How can I trust you when the evidence is right in front of my eyes? The maids and members of the pack sometimes see that man standing in front of your window and sneaking into your room!”

”Logan..." I looked at him wearily and took a deep breath, leaning against the headboard.

No matter what, no one in this pack believed me, even if I explained it a thousand times. I just wanted to leave this pack.

But my mother's survival is still in Madam Freya's hands. I need to wait until Alpha Asher safely moves my mother away from the Wildfire pack's surveillance.

“Fine, believe whatever you want.”

Logan growled. “Don't you feel guilty for betraying me?!”

“Betraying you? Alpha, have you forgotten who I am? I'm just your breeder. My job is only to bear your children, not to love you or be loyal to you. That loyalty should be given by Luna Olivia, your mate.”

“What do you get by seeking another man? Isn’t what I give you enough?”

“What do you give me? My children were taken from me. I have nothing from you.” I gave him a cold stare.

Logan remained silent for a long time. He stared at me with an unreadable expression.

“Alright, I understand.” Then he called Dr. Joseph.

Dr. Joseph arrived immediately, accompanied by a nurse carrying a tray with a small bowl.

A sense of déjà vu hit me, realizing what Logan was about to do.

“You want me to have another child?”

Logan didn't answer, taking the bowl and handing it to me.

The potion was different from the ones I usually drank. It was dark green.

“This is better than the previous potions. Dr. Joseph has made a better potion, and it will heal your body even though you’ve had multiple miscarriages. Don’t worry, you won’t feel any pain.”

“Logan! I just had a miscarriage and you're still forcing me to have a child!”

“Mia, this child will be yours. You don't have to give it to Olivia. This is my way of showing you I care.”

I looked at Dr. Joseph, pleading. “Dr. Joseph, didn't you say that my body can no longer bear children?”

Before Dr. Joseph could answer, Logan interrupted softly, “This potion is better than the previous one. You'll be fine, I promise.”

“No! I still refuse! I'm sick of being your breeding machine!”

Logan's expression changed in an instant. He stood up with the bowl in his hand and forced me to drink.

“When I ask you to drink, you must drink.”

He grabbed my jaw, forcing me to swallow the potion poured into my mouth.

I felt a burning sensation spread from my throat to my stomach.

Logan's expression softened. “If you obey, I won't force you like this.”

Then he turned and left, followed by the nurse.

Dr. Joseph sighed, as if resigned and unable to help any further, then turned and left me alone.

My face was pale as if the blood had drained from it, and I vomited the potion onto the floor.

The dark green liquid from my mouth slowly turned red with blood.

I coughed, vomiting dark red liquid into my palm.

“Poison? Logan, you lied...” I whispered bitterly.

The poison didn't kill me immediately. Slowly, my senses began to dull, and my body sometimes trembled. The pain in my womb that I had been feeling for a year became more intense. It was excruciating.

Logan seemed unaware that he had given me poison. With renewed attention, he sent me several gifts in including clothes, jewelry, and other expensive presents.

“Miss Klein...” A maid slipped a small bottle into my hand as she delivered Logan's gifts. She then left without saying anything.

I stared at her back suspiciously. I had never seen her in the Wildfire pack. My gaze shifted to the small bottle containing a dark blue liquid.

Aconitum potion.

A potion that induces a false death in whoever drinks it, making their heart appear to stop beating for just two days.

It’s extremely rare.

My heart was pounding.

The phone on the bedside table rings. It’s a call from Alpha Asher.

I rush to answer it.

“Miss Klein, have you received the Aconitum potion?”

“Yes. I received it from a maid.”

“Good. Your fake identity has also been prepared. Your death will be staged during the Moonlight Birth Fest.”

My heart was pounding with excitement, my hand gripping the bottle of Aconitum potion tightly — my last remaining hope of escaping this place.

“What about my mother?” I asked, full of hope.

“Your mother… forgive me, I haven’t been able to find the hospital where your mother is being treated.”

I fell silent; my heart sank.

At first, my mother was treated at the pack hospital because it was free, a facility provided by the pack.

However, since I accepted myself as a breeder, Madam Freya had transferred my mother to the best private hospital in the city center for treatment.

However, she didn't tell me where my mother had been transferred to and didn't allow me to leave the pack, worried that it would interfere with my pregnancy.

“I understand,” I said. “I'll find a way to discover where Madam Freya transferred my mother. Logan must know which hospital my mother is being treated at.”

“Who are you talking to?!” The booming baritone voice startled me, causing my phone to slip from my grasp and fall to the floor. My eyes widened as I stared at Logan, who had been in my room for who knows how long.

He stood with a dark and suspicious expression. “Who are you calling? Is it a man?!”

"No, just a friend. I asked him if he could check on my mother at the hospital," I'm trying to stay.

Secretly, my hand moved to hide the bottle of Aconitum potion in my pants pocket.

Logan looked skeptical. He picked up my phone from the floor, but unfortunately, the screen was already dark.

“Tell me the truth, are you calling another man behind my back?!” His voice was filled with anger, but there was a hint of jealousy in it.

I stared at him for a long time, trying to remember how Olivia always managed to win Logan's heart.

“I really haven't been contacting any other men, Logan. After watching me all this time, can't you trust me even a little?” My voice was very soft, and I deliberately made my eyes water in front of him to get his sympathy.

“I was just calling a friend to ask how my mother was doing.”

This was my chance! I had to ask Logan where the hospital was where my mother was being treated.

I grabbed his hand. “Logan, it's been a long time since I've seen my mother. I really want to see her.”

The anger on Logan's face faded; he sighed and sat down next to me.

“If you want to see your mother, you just have to tell me. Don't contact someone behind my back, even if it's a friend.”

“Yes, I will always tell you every time I miss my mother. So can you take me to see my mother?” I made my face look pitiful.

Logan looked at me for a moment, then said, “Alright. I'll take you to visit your mother tomorrow.”

I smiled sweetly at him, “Thank you, Logan.”

Logan was stunned for a moment, his gaze intense as he looked at my face.

“It's been a long time since I've seen you smile like this,” he said with an unreadable look, reaching out to brush my lips, but pulling his hand back.

“Do you like the gifts I gave you?” He stared at the gifts lying on my bed.

“I like them. They're very beautiful,” I smiled to please him so I could carry out my plan to see my mother.

“Then why haven't you opened them?”

“Ah, I'm about to open them.” I picked up one of the gift boxes at random.

Suddenly, Logan grabbed my wrist.

“What's wrong with your hand?” Logan frowned when he saw my hand trembling slightly.

I gave him a cold glance for a moment, but still replied with a forced smile.

“My hands have been shaking a lot lately. The pain from my previous miscarriage has also been coming back more often since I drank the new potion you gave me.”

“Maybe it's a side effect. It will go away after a few days. The potion is from a high-level witch. It's very expensive, so you have to appreciate it. I'll ask the servant to make you another one.”

I just stared at him blankly.

“Okay.”

If I refused, Logan would pour it down my throat himself.

So, when the maid brought the potion, I pretended to drink it in front of Logan.

After he left, I flushed the poisonous potion down the toilet.

Logan kept his promise; he would take me tomorrow after the hunt with the pack's guests.

I felt restless, waiting for Logan to take me to see my mother after so long.

I calmed myself, walking around the packhouse while looking longingly towards the forest. From a distance, I could hear the low roar of the pack going on a hunt. Ah, how I missed being a wolf, running freely in the forest during the full moon.

However, for the past five years, Logan has always restricted me from going into the forest or forbidden me from exploring outside the pack's territory. If I unconsciously wandered off, there would always be a member of the pack who would catch me and force me back to the packhouse.

I really felt trapped here.

“Humph!”

My eyes widened in shock when a rough hand suddenly covered my mouth from behind, pulling me away. They then threw me into the cold pool.

“Damn Omega! She brings shame to our pack and our Alpha!” One of the maids said disgustedly as she pulled my hair to the surface.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I got oxygen again. I narrowed my eyes and stared at Olivia, who was crouching in front of me.

“Olivia, what else do you want?”

Smack!

“Wow, you're getting bold! Are you getting more daring because Logan keeps giving you gifts?!”

I pressed my lips together, my teeth chattering from the cold pool water.

“Luna, Alpha always loves you. There's no point in you always being jealous of me!”

Olivia pulled my hair. "True, but his attention is always divided between you. Did you know that after the miscarriage of the twins, Logan searched the world for a witch to find another potion that would better ease your pain and heal you? He wanted to use the children to keep you by his side! Even your children would be returned to you! Even though he treated you cruelly, he still cared deeply for you!"

She glared, then whispered in a voice only the two of us could hear. “Fortunately, I replaced the potion with a poison that will paralyze you. You will be paralyzed and become a useless doll, slowly dying. If I killed you outright, Logan would definitely investigate the matter.”

She grinned cruelly.

My father’s chest tightened, filled with despair.

Olivia then stood up, glanced at the maid beside her, and turned to leave. The maid nodded, then announced in a loud voice.

“Mia Klein seduced Alpha Logan into betraying Luna, then seduced the heir to the Alpha Moonstone Pack and members of the Crimson Pack while the guests were still here. She wants to disgrace our pack. This shameless and disgusting whore must be drowned so she doesn't disgrace the pack and tarnish the honor of our Alpha. Drown her!”

One of the maid grabbed my head, submerging me in the water. I couldn't breathe. My chest hurt as water began to fill my lungs.

Was I going to die here?

‘Mia, don't give up! You have to stay alive!’ My wolf screamed in my mind, bringing my chaotic thoughts back to reality.

My eyes opened with determination. I shook my head with all my might, pulling away the maid's hand that was pressing down on my head, then scratching her with my wolf claws until she released her grip.

I tried to climb to the surface. I couldn't die here. I had to get out of this place that was dragging me into the abyss of death.

Suddenly, someone helped pull me up, allowing me to breathe again. I coughed, spitting water from my mouth.

“How dare you try to kill Mia!”

“Madam Freya!” The maids were terrified, then bowed in front of Madam Freya.

One of the maids replied anxiously. “Mia has tarnished the name of our pack. She seduced and slept with the heir to Alpha Moonstone, even though she is Alpha Logan's woman. Luna... Luna asked us to drown her as punishment. That is the punishment that should be given to a shameless adulteress.”

Madam Freya slapped the maid's face. “I raised Mia, I know exactly what she is like. She is not what you accuse her of! You... Go to the barracks to receive your punishment!”

The maids were terrified, then hurried away.

I felt Madam Freya cover me with her coat, hugging me as I shivered from the cold.

“Mia, my dear child... why have you become like this?”

I grabbed Madam Freya's hand and whispered pleadingly, “Madam Freya... ah, Auntie, please let me go. This place will consume me if I stay here any longer.”

“I know, everything will be fine...”

“No, no, nothing has been fine for the past five years. I...”

Madam Freya nodded reassuringly. “It's all my fault for forcing you to become a ‘breeder’ for the sake of the Alpha bloodline. You've suffered so much. But please hang in there. You still have to have a fifth child. I will make sure you get the best care and recover quickly so you can get pregnant again.”

I shivered, not because of the cold from being submerged in the icy pool, but because of Madam Freya’s soft, soothing words, which felt like a knife slicing through my heart.

In the end, Madam Freya was just like her son.

I could only bow my head, numb. I had given up on the people in this pack: Logan and even Madam Freya.

“Mia, do you understand?”

I forced a smile on my face.

“I understand, Madam Freya.”

Madam Freya smiled softly and stroked my hair. “Good girl, stay a little longer, the freedom I promised you, you will get it. I promise.”

Madam Freya escorted me to my room, then angrily called the maids.

“Call Olivia!”

Olivia was summoned immediately. I heard them arguing outside my room. I closed my eyes, ignoring their argument, and waited for the Moonlight Birth Fest to arrive.

But someone pulled me out of bed and choked my neck in the middle of the night.

My eyes opened, my breath almost cut off, then Logan released his grip and dragged me out of bed.

“Just because my mother is back, you complained to her and enjoyed having Olivia whipped in front of the servants? Mia, why are you so cruel! Olivia has always been good to you!”

Logan didn't give me a chance to defend myself and dragged me out of my room.

In the middle of the night, wearing only thin clothes and still shivering from the cold, I was dragged to the main building and forced to kneel in front of Olivia's bed.

“Apologize to Olivia now!”
