The cool breeze brushed against my face, sharp like a thousand tiny daggers, cutting deeply.
I could no longer maintain my facade of calm; I instantly broke down, tears streaming down my cheeks.
Replaying the events of a few days before the accident, I remembered receiving a call from the Pack doctor.
“Luna, you need to come to the hospital right away. Your and Alpha Dorian’s health check results are in. I have good news to share, so hurry!” The doctor’s voice trembled with excitement on the other end; he was the most esteemed physician in the Pack.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the Pack doctor thrilledly informed me that I was pregnant.
“Luna, this is fantastic news! As you know, last year’s health report revealed that Alpha Dorian Kingston has a low sperm count, making this a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity for him to have an heir.”
I was utterly stunned; the happiness engulfed me so suddenly, I didn’t even know how to react.
I needed to see Alpha Dorian Kingston immediately–I was desperate to share this joy with him.
Since I wasn’t Alpha Dorian Kingston’s destined mate, it was common knowledge that non–mated couples struggled to conceive.

Considering Alpha Dorian Kingston’s health issues, we prayed to the Moon Goddess daily, hoping for a miracle.
It seemed our devotion must have touched her.
I could hardly wait to tell Alpha Dorian Kingston the good news. Would he be delighted? Would he pick me up and spin me around in joy?
Filled with hope for the future, I carefully placed the pregnancy report in my bag and eagerly made my way to Dorian Kingston’s company.
As I entered, everything felt familiar. The employees greeted me with smiles and warm hellos.

Since meeting Alpha Dorian Kingston, I had assisted him in managing company affairs.
Just last month, at the company’s three–year anniversary celebration, he proposed to me, leading me to decide to step away from my career and focus on our wedding preparations, returning to family life.
Standing at the office door, I was about to knock when I overheard him on a video call
with a woman.
The contents of the call doused my excitement like a bucket of cold water.
I heard the name that had haunted my nights -Liora Granger.
Dorian Kingston’s destined mate–she was coming back!

And tomorrow! Dorian Kingston had even agreed to pick her up from the airport!
I felt utterly lost.
Three years ago, Alpha Dorian Kingston’s pack was attacked by the Black Eagle pack, resulting in his parents‘ deaths and leaving him severely injured. Meanwhile, Liora Granger, who was Alpha Dorian Kingston’s mate at the time, mysteriously vanished.
Throughout his darkest times, I stood by his side.
I stayed with him during his hospital treatment and rehabilitation, managing the affairs of the pack until he fully recovered and assumed the Alpha position of the Black Spine pack.
Just then, another voice chimed in from the

office–it was his Beta, Archer.
“Alpha Dorian Kingston, you’re about to marry Luna. This isn’t appropriate,” Beta Archer nervously reminded him.
“Liora Granger has suffered greatly these past three years. She left me because she had a terminal illness. Her time is limited, and she needs my care and companionship. As for Celine Vaughn–Luna–she will understand,” Alpha Dorian Kingston insisted, ignoring Beta Archer’s concerns, determined to bring Liora Granger back.
“This isn’t fair to Luna…” Beta Archer continued.
“Beta Archer, this is my decision. Please don’t bring it up again,” Alpha Dorian
Kingston stated firmly.

I felt like a fool.
We had both been healing, our future was within reach, so why did she have to return at this moment?
Why was she coming back to disrupt our happiness?
As I stood there in a daze, the office door suddenly swung open.
Both Dorian Kingston and Beta Archer froze, their expressions showing shock as if witnessing something unbelievable.
“Darling, when did you arrive? Next time, let me know in advance so I can send a driver to pick you up,” Dorian Kingston’s eyes flickered uncertainly, perhaps worried I’d overheard something; he was probing me.

I quickly adjusted my expression, pretending to be nonchalant as I replied, “Oh, Dorian Kingston, I just got here. I was about to knock. I thought we could grab a bite to eat and talk about the

I offered a casual excuse, while inside, my thoughts were tumultuous.
I didn’t know if I should tell him I was
pregnant.
My initial excitement and joy had vanished completely, replaced by anxiety and hesitation.
I even began to doubt if this child was coming at the right time.
