Chapter 2

02

The room dimmed as anger flared in my chest.

I took several deep breaths to keep from passing out.

"Fine," I whispered. "Just bring me a bowl of plain porridge."

The warm food finally settled my stomach, and the nausea began to fade.

A wave of sadness washed over me.

In the Vance Pack, I was the most pampered daughter.

If I even sneezed, a dozen people would rush to help me.

But in the Blackwood Pack, I was more alone than a stray omega.

Once I felt strong enough, I sent for a human doctor from the nearby town.

I didn't want a pack healer who would report everything to Caleb.

I touched my belly one last time, whispering a final goodbye.

"Forgive me, little one. I am not fit to be your mother in this life. Go find a better family."

The doctor trembled when I told him what I wanted.

"Luna... does the Alpha know about this?"

I laughed, a dry and hollow sound.

"He doesn't care. Besides, my body is too weak to carry this pup anyway."

The doctor looked at me with pity.

"Are you absolutely sure, Luna?"

I nodded slowly. What was there to think about?

In my last life, I suffered through nine months of agonizing pregnancy.

I couldn't eat or sleep, and I lost so much weight I looked like a skeleton.

Caleb never noticed. He was too busy making sure Seraphina was glowing.

When my mother came to visit, she cried at the sight of me.

"My sweet girl, I should never have let you marry him," she had sobbed.

Who would have guessed the Great Luna would live such a miserable life?

Caleb Blackwood doesn't deserve to be a father or a husband.

He only knows how to take my things and give them to his mistress.

The memory of Leo's cold, lifeless body made it hard to breathe.

"You are too weak right now," the doctor said softly.

"If we do this today, you might not survive the blood loss."

"Take these herbs for two weeks to build your strength first."

I took the prescription and had my maid escort him out quietly.
