Aurora and I mated Alpha twins. Five months pregnant, I was attacked by rogue wolves and mind-linked my mate Kaelen ten times for help—he only replied coldy, busy searching for his kidnapped stepsister Vicky and accusing me of overacting. The rogues tore open my stomach, killing my unborn child. Aurora fought them, but her mate Ethan also refused help for Vicky. She shifted, carried me to flee, yet a mudslide trapped us; border patrol saved us, and we barely survived. Waking in the pack hospital, I only wanted to sever the mate bond.

00:00the alpha twins but our mates cut off our mind link when i was eight months
00:05all the she-wolves in the pack envied my sister aurora and me for being mated to the alpha twins
00:09but our mates cut off our mind link when i was eight months pregnant and we were attacked by
00:15rogue wolves they told us not to disturb them while they saved their stepsister the one that
00:22they truly loved i lost my child and my sister can never shift again becoming an omega after
00:28confirming that aurora had also regained consciousness i immediately sent kalen a
00:32mindlink message about severing our new bond for two straight days there was nothing but silence
00:37from his end i realized that he had blocked my mind link our baby is gone i finally sent through
00:43the phone message surprisingly this message triggered an immediate response and kalen's
00:47angry voice came through the phone liana is this how you act you don't get responses to your messages
00:53so you decide to get rid of our child his voice was ice cold with fury i told you to
00:58stay safely in the pack house while carry my air but you had to go wandering off then you
01:03bombarded me with nine mind links in a row when i didn't t answer immediately are you mentally
01:09unstable seraphina was in danger her kidnapping almost caused her to lose her pups what could
01:15possibly be more important than saving two lives let me make this perfectly clear stop using our child
01:21to manipulate me if you want to terminate the pregnancy then go ahead do whatever you want
01:27kalen don't be angry with your mate she was just worried about you this is all my fault
01:32vicky this has nothing to do with you his voice softened before he abruptly cut our call
01:37i lowered my hand from my temple a bitter smile forming on my lips of course how could i ever
01:44compare
01:44to precious vicky in importance trying to reach out again would only bring more humiliation i placed
01:50my hand on my now flat stomach grief overwhelming me my poor baby had been five months along growing
01:56strong with a steady heartbeat now it was gone torn to pieces by those rogue wolves the pack doctor
02:02had told me the wounds were so severe that i might never be able to conceive again the rogue's claws
02:07had damaged my reproductive organs beyond repair kalen didn't know this yet he didn't know that in his
02:12quest to save vicky he had lost not only his unborn me across the face with his claws
02:16i reeled back dizzy from the blow through my disorientation
02:25territory we lost everything because of him our hunting grounds our den everything gone we heard
02:31your mate's brother holds significant territory to the north once we have you he'll surrender those
02:36lands to us in exchange hearing they only wanted territory i felt a small surge of relief
02:42at least there was a chance they might spare my baby but i fell to my knees begging and pleading
02:47repeatedly i would do anything if they would just spare my unborn child but my pleas meant nothing
02:53the rogue outless claws tore into my stomach with savage precision a pain like nothing i'd ever felt
02:58before ripped clean as my blood poured onto the forest floor warm and sticky my baby was gone just like
03:04that yet only this morning i had felt those tiny kicks inside me i began to lose consciousness as my
03:10body
03:10temperature dropped with each passing moment without my baby i had no will to live anyway just as i was
03:16surrendering to death aurora crashed through the trees she glanced at my bloodied form and the still
03:21active mind link connection glowing at my temple her face contorted with rage as she screamed why didn't
03:30you call me if i hadn't sensed your pain through our sister bond what would have happened to you
03:34she lifted me carefully frantically sending a mind rate to eat looking for vicky don't bother me
03:40those six words left her frozen in shock she tried to call for the pack guards but we were too
03:46far from
03:46pack territory for the telepathic connection to work with no other choice she half carried half dragged me
03:52through the forest as the robes pursued us they caught up quickly one drove a silver dagger deep into aurora's
03:58abdomen while others bit into her arms and legs still she fought protecting me even a silver poison
04:04spread for her system by some miracle we stumbled upon the border patrol the rogue scattered but the
04:09damage was done perhaps fate had written this ending for us as i slowly closed my eyes in the pack
04:15hospital the pack healer confirmed what i already knew my child was gone torn from my womb by vengeful
04:21claws what i didn't expect was the news about aurora the silver had penetrated too deeply into her
04:27system she would never shift again her wolf permanently suppressed by the poison she had
04:32sacrificed her wolf form the most sacred part of any werewolf's identity to save me
04:38aurora and i lay side by side in the pack infirmary the room was wrapped in heavy silence
04:42she must have overheard cailin's furious tirade aurora struggled to sit up then reached over to grasp my hand
04:48her once vibrant face was now pale as moonlight drained of color by the silver poisoning cailin's cruel
04:53words had brought fresh tears to her eyes those tears fell onto the back of my hand as she whispered
04:58if only we had never made it to the alpha twins she was worried about me but i was more
05:02concerned
05:03for her she had once been the pack's most promising female beta wolf destined for the elite warrior ranks
05:08now because of the silver poisoning that prevented her from shifting she would be relegated to omega
05:13status i opened my mouth to comfort her when her mate's call came through my brother says liana wants to
05:18terminate the pregnancy did you put her up to this can you two stop being hysterical for one day and
05:22i
05:22already told you yesterday that i was tracking the wolves who kidnapped vicky it's important i told you
05:27not to disturb me with calls are you deaf i don't know why we made it with you two in
05:30the first place
05:31always plotting together threatening divorce and termination who do you think you're scaring if you
05:35want to leave then leave no one is begging you to stay the call ended abruptly aurora just shook her
05:40phone
05:40and shrugged at me trying to seem unbothered but then her eyes filled with tears again
05:44i squeezed her cold hand and said don't be upset we're alive that's what matters maybe we weren't
05:49meant to be together the moon goddess is showing us we need to separate let's just rest for now
05:53when we're stronger we'll move out does that sound okay aurora choked out a simple okay finally unable
05:58to hold back anymore tears began to fall in large drops from her eyes she collapsed against my shoulder
06:03and we held each other sobbing uncontrollably fear anger and heartbreak emotions we had suppressed
06:08for too long were finally released we had thought we'd found our fated mates but instead we found
06:13nothing but misery i remember when i first mated with kaylin the entire pack envied how my sister
06:17aurora and i had mated to the alpha twins two sisters mated to two brothers that's the moon goddess's
06:22greatest blessing the perfect double union to strengthen the pack bloodlines i remembered the
06:27day kaylin had performed the mating ceremony how his eyes had shown with what i thought was love as he
06:33marked me how ethan had looked at aurora with the same devotion how we d believed the twin alpha sons
06:40would always protect us but the bubble of happiness burst three months ago when the twin stepsister
06:45victoria severed her mate bond with her partner kaylin began ignoring my calls and spent every
06:49night patrolling the borders ethan was even worse drinking heavily every evening and attending endless
06:54pack meetings without aurora it was only then that my sister and i realized the truth our matings had
06:59been nothing more than the twins revenge against victoria all their declarations of love all the promises
07:03of forever nothing but selfish calculations from the twin brothers they claimed victoria was just a
07:08stepsister but in reality she was the one the twins truly loved how pathetic that aurora and i had
07:13been deceived for so long we watched silently as they welcomed the newly single victoria back into
07:17the pack house both brothers suddenly attentive and caring in ways they'd never been with us
07:21two powerful alphas neglecting their pack duties ignoring their pregnant mates showing no concern for
07:26their heirs all while revolving around victoria like moons around a planet for three months aurora and
07:31i technically had mates yet there were no surprises on special occasions occasions no flowers no romance
07:37they were physically present but their love was nowhere to be found we overlooked the obvious
07:42their affection had shifted elsewhere or perhaps there had never been any love at all the moon
07:47goddess must have been laughing at our naivety the healer said the silver has permanently damaged my wolf
07:52aurora whispered against my shoulder i'll never shift again i stroked her hair gently and i'll never
07:57conceive again looks like we both lost the most precious parts of ourselves for mates who didn't deserve us
08:02i lay in the hospital bed scrolling through my phone suddenly i received a video from victoria
08:08the footage showed her being rescued from her kidnapping surrounded by kaylin and ethan's loving
08:12attention the two alphas hovered protectively around her shielding her from any potential danger they
08:17offered her the pack's most precious healing herbs to restore her strength she caressed her seven
08:22month pregnant belly while gazing adoringly at kaylin and ethan thank you my beloved brothers you always
08:27arrive just in time when danger strikes the other wolves around them looked on with envy goddess when will i
08:32ever get brothers like that toria is so lucky to have the alpha twins doting on her like this but
08:37a few clearer minded wolves raised questions why aren't the alpha twins lunas present i heard luna
08:42liana was ambushed by rogues why didn't alpha kaylin go save her their concerns were quickly buried under
08:47an avalanche of admiring comments just then my sister aurora received the exact same video from
08:53victoria her voice was completely flat when she spoke liana i don't know why but seeing this doesn't
08:58stir any emotion in me anymore two husbands serving one wife if they're so eager for it let's grant them
09:03their wish i took a deep breath you're right it has nothing to do with us anymore i'm contacting the
09:08alpha council right now to dissolve our mate bonds i can't stand another minute of this sister the alpha
09:13council was remarkably efficient responding to us within a day and sending us the formal mate bond
09:18severance applications i asked the alpha council to deliver these dissolution forms to kaylin and ethan but
09:23two days passed without any response from either of them the pain was like being cut with a dull blade
09:28and i was the first to lose patience i sent kaylin a message through our fading have you seen the
09:32mate bond severance papers give me a response what i received instead was another round of accusations
09:37and insults haven't you caused enough drama let me tell you the more you act like this the less i
09:42want to return to the pack house stop sending me messages to test my patience i could only respond
09:47with silence how had i never noticed kaylin's absurdly narcissistic side before i was about to
09:52explain myself when victoria's sickeningly sweet voice filtered through the call kaylin darling what
09:57are you doing dinner's ready ethan and i have been waiting for you forever kaylin quickly stepped onto
10:02a balcony thinking it would muffle the connection i couldn't help but mock no wonder you have no time
10:07to handle our matters you're too busy entertaining your dear sister kaylin jumped like a wolf with its
10:11tail caught in a trap liana what is wrong with you will this never end victoria is carrying a pup
10:16and needs care i'm just helping her out besides she doesn't know how to cook unlike you at the mention
10:21of a pup my previously calm demeanor shattered instantly a pup you dare speak about caring for
10:26someone else's pup what about your own pup kaylin did you ever care for me did you ever care for
10:30your own child kaylin's tone grew increasingly hostile this is ridiculous victoria chose that
10:35moment to chime in with a laugh sister we're both pregnant women i understand you pregnancy hormones can
10:41really affect emotionally unstable people obviously blessed mothers like me are rare but don't be too sad
10:46sister after all it's all for the pups right every word she spoke was like a blade piercing my heart
10:51i completely lost my strength the wound on my stomach burning with pain as my breathing became
10:56irregular meanwhile kaylin agreed with her on the other end don't worry about her vicky your health
11:01is most important whenever you need anything i'll come immediately hearing this i couldn't breathe
11:06tears slid down my cheeks he had never truly cared about me in our two years as mates what was
11:11a disposable dog he could ignore at will before i could speak again kaylin severed our mind link
11:17connection pain engulfed me like a flood and i broke down sobbing aurora rushed to embrace me
11:22soothing liana sweetie don't waste tears on such trash perhaps your baby knew this wasn't the right
11:27time to enter this world maybe it understood what an unreliable father it would have had it doesn't
11:32matter if they ignore us we'll go directly to the alpha council and expose their behavior we'll request
11:37a forced mate bond severance aurora and i remained in the pack hospital for three weeks during this
11:42entire time we didn't receive a single message from either of the brothers not one person asked
11:47about our well-being our whereabouts or why we hadn't returned to the pack house my already shattered
11:53heart sank even deeper at their callous indifference as we were finalizing our discharge papers we spotted
11:58ethan walking down the corridor he didn't notice us we followed him discreetly until he entered the
12:04maternity ward that's when we discovered the truth victoria was lying in a hospital bed clutching
12:09kaylin's hand in and crying about her fear of the delivery room while ethan who had just arrived
12:14tenderly brushed her hair from her forehead the three of them together created a picture of perfect
12:19harmony aurora and i instinctively touched our stomachs our eyes filled with despair in comparison
12:25even victoria's current fears seemed like blessings watching their intimate scene i forced
12:30myself to remain calm pulling aurora away from the hospital we had more important matters to attend
12:36to meeting with the alpha council the day after tomorrow bring ethan seriously if you don't show up
12:42we'll have no choice but to let the council enforce the bond severance kaylin immediately called me but i
12:48rejected the call messages began flooding my phone which i ignored completely before turning it off
12:54aurora accompanied me to report the rogue wolf attack to the alpha council's enforcement division
12:58this had been a deliberate revenge attack and the victims were the mates of the pack's office
13:03we recounted the entire incident in detail the head enforcers brow furrowed with concern
13:08such a serious matter and you're only reporting it now what if these rogues target you again
13:14i gave a bitter smile that wouldn't happen even the rogues knew i held no place in kaylin's heart
13:20hurting me posed no threat to him i could only ask the enforcer to carefully review the border patrol
13:26records when he heard how aurora and i had lost a pup and the ability to shift because of the
13:30attack
13:31and how he'd been stranded during a mudslide with no help his expression softened with sympathy
13:35don't worry miss liana we'll do everything we can to investigate this thoroughly
13:40leaving the enforcement office i received another video from victoria
13:45six pounds three ounces an angel who floated on clouds carefully choosing her mother has finally
13:50come to me in the video kaylin and ethan hovered around her both find to be the pup's father
13:55promising to raise it as their own i couldn't help but wonder how they would react if they knew their
14:00own pup was gone too exhausted to dwell on it further aurora and i were completely drained after
14:05the day's ordeal we temporarily returned to the small cabin i had lived in before mating with kaylin
14:10when i turned my phone back on i was greeted by a flood of missed calls from kaylin
14:15i called back feeling his rage explode through the connection drama drama drama that's all you
14:21know how to create i told you to stay home and rest and you turned the place into a complete
14:26disaster if i hadn't gone back to get a gift for victoria's pup i wouldn't have known what a mess
14:30you've made and aurora to why are you dragging her into your schemes ethan can't even reach her now
14:36are you poisoning her mind against him how can you be so vindictive you've nearly destroyed ethan
14:41and aurora's relationship are you satisfied now aurora stood beside me looking like she wanted
14:46to reach through the phone and slap him i held her back saying don't hurt yourself over someone who
14:52isn't worth it kaylin i emphasized i'll say this once more mate bond severance i don't want to hear
14:58your useless words as for aurora you should ask your dear brother what he's done aurora grabbed the
15:03phone and shouted mating into your family has been the worst mistake of our lives let me make this clear
15:09kaylin no one is influencing anyone we want to sever our bonds simply because you and ethan are
15:15complete idiots understand she immediately hung up and proceeded to block him on every possible
15:20communication channel the next morning just as we were about to leave for the alpha council chambers
15:25we found victoria at our doorstep she was cradling her newborn pup her eyes red-rimmed looking
15:30pathetically fragile as if a breeze might topple her the moment she saw us she dropped to her knees
15:36feigning distress sister liana sister aurora i'm so sorry i've come to apologize on behalf of the
15:42brothers this is all because of me causing this misunderstanding between you please don't blame
15:46kaylin and ethan they were just concerned about me being a single mother that day at the hospital i
15:51was just too frightened so i asked kaylin and ethan to stay with me i thought they had informed you
15:56beforehand i had no idea they hadn't sent you any messages leading to this misunderstanding i
16:01specifically reminded them even now she was playing the victim while flaunting her relationship
16:06with the twins we the legitimate mates were treated like outsiders in her words seeing aurora about to
16:12lose control of her temper i stepped in first looking down at victoria with disdain is that so
16:18then by that logic my desire to sever our mate bond requires miss victoria's approval don't waste your
16:24time playing the victim here that trick doesn't work on us out of consideration for the newborn pop in
16:29her arms i was about to help her up but when she heard the elevator doors open something flashed in
16:34her eyes and she deliberately collapsed as if i had pushed her i was startled and then kaylin came
16:40running over shoving me violently liana how can you be so vicious get away from her i lost my balance
16:47and fell to the floor aurora quickly helped me vicky are you all right kaylin fretted after confirming
16:53victoria was unharmed kaylin turned back ready to unleash his fury on me but then his eyes fell
16:59on my flat stomach and panic flashed across his face he spoke in disbelief where's the pup
17:04liana i'm asking you where our pup is ethan emerged from the elevator phone to his ear what's going on
17:10now i could hear you're arguing from a mile away don't you know it'll frighten the pup ethan
17:15continued i need to get back to the enforcement office immediately there's a case about rogues who
17:20attacked a pregnant she-wolf they've been captured and are requesting clemency as he finished speaking
17:25his eyes fell on my slender figure and he asked kaylin brother has liana given birth kaylin snapped
17:31back to reality at those words gripping my shoulders and shaking me it was premature right liana don't
17:37scare me like this hearing kaylin's panic questions i shoved his hands away in disgust what kind of pup
17:42survives being born at five months my words cut into him like knives but my heart was bleeding too
17:48the memory of the knife piercing my stomach feeling my baby's life slowly fading away it was still vivid
17:54in my mind i had never hated anyone as much as i did now a tidal wave of rage engulfed
17:59me if he had
18:00answered my mind link if he had been willing to listen to me for just one moment if he had
18:04felt my
18:05desperate plea for help our pup would still be alive looking at their hypocritical faces now i was filled
18:10with revulsion yes the pup is gone and not just that aurora can never shift again we told you already
18:16but you didn't believe us let's just sever the bonds there's nothing left to discuss kaylin stumbled
18:22back two steps disbelief filling his eyes as he mumbled so you weren't just trying to scare me
18:27the pup is really gone snapping out of his days he roared at me liana you're a monster the pup
18:33was
18:33five months along and you terminated it just to spite me it was already formed have you lost your mind
18:38how dare you kill my pup come with me to the alpha council life for a life a bleak smile
18:43twisted my lips
18:44as i looked up at kaylin if we're naming killers you and victoria are the true murderers i was targeted
18:50because of a pack you expelled the rogue wolves came for revenge and found me instead they hit me
18:55kicked me drove their claws into my stomach and you call me a monster if your precious sister here
19:00hadn't revealed my location to the rogues telling them that taking me hostage would threaten you
19:05would i have lost my child five months carrying that pup i suffered more than any of you could imagine
19:10no it wasn't me victoria stammered trying to step forward to explain what did you say aurora can't
19:16shift anymore why i thought only one person was taken hostage what does this have to do with my
19:21mate hearing ethan's questions aurora lunged forward and slapped him hard across the face how dare you
19:26even ask if you had answered just one of our calls would we have been trapped in that mudslide
19:31would we have been stranded would liana have lost her pup i continued maybe it's better the pup is
19:37gone you don't deserve to be father and you certainly don't deserve to be mate weren't you
19:41both proudly announcing on pack channels that you'd be the father to victoria's bastard pup
19:45perfect timing that can be a real child now our pup lived and died without you even caring
19:50ethan stood frozen still in shock the red handprint visible on his face kaylin however was starting to
19:57comprehend his expression turning rigid what are you saying liana was really ambushed by rogues
20:02why didn't you call to tell me were you trapped in a mudslide trying to save her what exactly
20:08happened why didn't you tell us his voice carried a hint of a sob growing increasingly desperate too
20:15bad his belated concern wasn't worth anything not even a stray dog would want it now it was too late
20:20everything was too late my voice was ice cold my eyes filled with mockery when you ignored my first
20:26nine mindling calls i was tied to a tree while the rogues clawed and kicked me when you finally
20:31answered the tenth call full of accusations the rogues decided i was worthless to them how could
20:37they possibly spare your pup after that you had a chance to save our child the rogues initially only
20:43wanted territory they never intended to harm our pup hearing this kaylin completely broke down
20:48crouching on the ground with his head in his hands sobbing uncontrollably victoria moved to embrace
20:54him but he violently pushed her away she fell backward scraping her palms on the floor blood
20:59seeping from the scratches victoria's face registered disbelief this was the first time
21:04she had ever been rejected like this i glanced at her briefly before turning to ethan saying if i'm
21:10not mistaken the new rogue attack case you're handling guess who the victim was and who's now being accused
21:16only then did the twins fully understand turning murderous glares toward victoria it wasn't me
21:22honestly that day i was just passing through the forest i was then kidnapped by those rogues too
21:27how could it possibly be me who set this up i had no idea about any attack victoria protested her
21:34voice
21:35breaking with tears in the past whenever she spoke in that tearful voice the alpha twins would immediately
21:41rush to comfort her ready to defend her honor but this time neither of them responded they simply
21:47stared at her with complicated expressions their eyes were filled with disgust i spoke in a cold
21:53voice the calmness tinged with a deadly stillness i never mentioned when or where it happened how did
21:58you know it was that day at the forest victoria completely panicked victoria shakily got to her
22:04feet claiming her stomach was bothering her and that she needed to leave i had no concrete evidence yet
22:10just suspicions but i hadn't expected victoria to crack so easily under pressure right now she wasn't
22:17the priority once the enforcement division found the evidence the truth would be fully revealed i cast
22:23a cold glance at kaylin my voice emotionless what are we waiting for everyone's here let's go straight
22:29to the alpha council and finalize the mate bond severance at my words both brothers faces changed
22:35they hung their heads unable to speak showing no intention of moving ethan was the first to break
22:41the silence liana i have work to attend to the suspect is waiting and we've already scheduled the
22:47meeting i must go immediately he turned to aurora hesitating love hear me out once i finish this case
22:54i'll come back and explain everything properly all right don't sever our bond go home and wait for me
23:00we can try for another pup i truly have urgent work right now he was already turning to leave without
23:06giving us a chance to refuse i spoke first if i heard correctly the case you're handling should be
23:12about my attackers right led by someone called draven i pulled out the enforcement division receipt
23:17for my bag and tossed it to him check if it's the same case if so there's even more reason
23:22to sever our
23:23bonds today yes it must be done today i can't stand another minute of this year all disgraceful aurora added
23:30ethan's eyes fell on the document in my hand his expression changing dramatically liana what are you
23:36saying you were the victim in this attack case the one handled by my department the rogue who stabbed
23:41a pregnant she wolf how could that be you what is going on here hearing this kalen's expression also
23:47shifted turning serious his face cooled as he said warily liana this isn't something to joke about
23:53i know you're angry with us but this has nothing to do with my brother's work stop making a scene
23:59and wait
23:59until we finished our duties to discuss this he still believed i was making it all up at the very
24:05least he hadn't fully accepted the truth yet i felt like i just heard the world's most ridiculous joke
24:11and couldn't help but let out a cold the stainful laugh are you suggesting i'm using my dead pup to
24:16put
24:16a show for you kalen who do you think you are don't overestimate your importance to me i don't
24:21have the energy or interest to perform for you as for your accusations of me making scenes being angry
24:26or seeking attention i suggest you stop talking because it makes me sick looking at you makes me
24:31sick haven't you understood yet i want our bond severed as for you go cool off somewhere else
24:37kalen's face paled for the first time he seemed to truly grasp the gravity of the situation
24:43the enforcement division has the roads in custody ethan said slowly staring at the document
24:48they confessed to attacking a pregnant sheeple five months along he looked up his eyes meeting kalen's
24:55brother this is real these are official documents despite ethan's confirmation kalen still maintained
25:02a threat of disbelief he snorted coldly before speaking even if this is true it's not our fault
25:07i understand you're upset about losing the pub and if you need to take your anger out on me
25:12go ahead but severance liana think carefully this isn't a small matter and you might regret it
25:18you've always been dramatic and you haven't contributed to the pack in over a year
25:22you know the consequences of leaving me and i'm warning you threatening bond severance isn't
25:27leverage to get my attention if you want that find another method as for this nonsense about being
25:32targeted because of me just stop if that were true the enforcement division would have notified me
25:38already just tell me the truth about what really happened to our pup i won't blame you we can have
25:43more pups in the future then if you need to but be rational don't throw every accusation at me and
25:49if
25:49severing our bond leave my brother out of it honestly i'm starting to think you're cursed
25:54since our mating ceremony nothing in our lives has gone smoothly after his habitual manipulation he
26:01noticed my hands trembling with rage a hint of satisfaction flickered in his eyes these accusations
26:07were his usual tactic even now he remained unrepentant blaming everything on me this was the
26:12man i had mated with the one i had planned to bear children for to grow old with at his
26:17core he was
26:18cold heartless and completely unworthy of trust aurora couldn't contain herself any longer she lashed out
26:25at him have you no shame the pup died because of you when i found liana she was nearly dead
26:31do you
26:31understand if she's such a curse then let's get this severance done immediately you and your family are
26:37disgusting hypocrites let me tell you something you don't deserve children i hope you remain childless
26:42for eternity her words successfully ignited ethan's anger he immediately grabbed the documents and
26:48headed toward the council chambers fine let's do this only a coward would back down now just don't
26:53regret it later one hour later we finally received our official mate bond severance papers aurora and i
26:59felt reborn standing outside the council chambers we exchanged glances both feeling immense relief
27:05our first priority was to return to the pack house and collect our belongings we wanted no further
27:10connection to that place ethan rushed back to the enforcement office immediately after the hearing
27:15victoria called kaylin kaylin my stomach hurts i just had a car accident on my way home i'm so scared
27:22how are things on your end the kidnapping case liana mentioned isn't real right kaylin can you come
27:28be with me receiving the call kaylin's face tightened with concern as he said he'd be there right away
27:33but i had already detected the panic and probing in her voice aurora saw me standing motionless and
27:39assumed i was upset she quickly took my hand comforting me liana don't be sad trust the
27:45enforcement division they'll uncover the truth and bring you justice then let's see how victoria
27:51plays the victim warmth spread through my heart yes i should be happy to be free of those two traitors
27:56after collecting our belongings from the pack house i took aurora directly to the pack spawn
28:01bulging and all the treatments we previously denied ourselves after the complete pampering session we
28:06looked in the mirror at our rejuvenated selves and our mood instantly improved fortunately our pregnancies
28:13hadn't altered our figures much with our careful control throughout our bodies looked nearly identical to
28:18before pregnancy perhaps even more alluring now we returned to our new den our minds and bodies
28:24relaxed and enjoyed the best sleep we'd had in months the next day i received a call from the
28:30enforcement division they informed me that they had captured the rogue wolves who attacked me but
28:34the suspects weren't revealing who had ordered them to leak my whereabouts worse still alpha kaylin had
28:39personally gotten involved in the case making it difficult for the enforcement division to proceed freely
28:44as they spoke i immediately sensed something was wrong so what happens now i asked we're continuing
28:51the interrogation but with alpha kaylin overseeing the case directly it complicates things the robes are
28:57unwilling to implicate anyone else my heart sank it was all too convenient there was no way this happened
29:03without victoria's involvement my visit to the trading post in the forest had been a last minute decision
29:09the only people who knew i was going there were kaylin and victoria who had been with him when i
29:14mentioned
29:14it and in the moment i was being attacked by the rogue wolves i distinctly remembered seeing victoria's
29:19silhouette disappear around the forest i hadn't been certain then but thinking back now i was almost
29:25positive it had been her with no evidence and kaylin interfering the case seemed to be at a standstill
29:31i grew increasingly anxious i had thought that after hearing about my attack the alpha twins would take action
29:37but as always they continued to disappoint speak of the devil the next day kaylin called me i answered
29:45with reluctance swallowing my disgust his opening words were filled with tension liana are you absolutely
29:52certain that victoria leaked your whereabouts to the rogues the alpha council is putting enormous
29:57pressure on me over these accusations you shouldn't talk nonsense without evidence my patience already worn
30:04thin from days of waiting completely evaporated kaylin's words pushed my anger to its breaking point
30:10i shouted into the phone no longer caring about appearances kaylin i wouldn't and don't have the
30:16energy to play this kind of game with you my pup died because of you and you owe it justice
30:20if there's
30:21no evidence then it bites you what good does complaining to me do there was a moment of silence
30:26on the other end listen kaylin finally said his voice tense you need to stop accusing victoria without
30:32proof she says she was nowhere near the trading post that day of course she'd say that i snapped did
30:39you
30:39even question her properly the alpha council is putting enormous pressure on me over this if you can't
30:44provide concrete evidence against victoria you need to stop making these accusations i couldn't believe
30:50what i was hearing even now after everything he was still protecting her so you're more concerned
30:56about victoria's reputation than finding who is responsible for killing our pup that's not what i
31:01dash no i understand perfectly i'll find the evidence myself since you clearly can't be bothered
31:07i hung up before he could respond my hands shaking with rage i had never been so hysterical in front
31:13of
31:13kaylin before on our mating day he told me he preferred gentle nurturing females so for two years i
31:19maintained a docile obedient persona around him i had barely ever contradicted him let alone lost my
31:25composure with such explosive anger looking back he had gradually manipulated me into becoming victoria's
31:30shadow in his mind but now i didn't care what he thought anymore those days of constraining myself
31:35within that pack house for the sake of a cold selfish male the very memory made me sick perhaps in
31:40his
31:40eyes i had always been an expendable character he enjoyed my devotion my tenderness yet he never
31:46reciprocated with even a shred of warmth after shouting at kaylin i felt liberated releasing much
31:51of the bitterness that had been building for days aurora emerged from her room firmly taking my hand
31:56i responded with a big hug don't worry i'm fine now that kind of mail doesn't deserve my heartache
32:01but what about the security footage issue what should we do a sleepless night followed early the
32:06next morning the enforcement division called they had located a witness to the forest attack a border
32:11guard he had seen the entire incident unfold but had been knocked unconscious by the rogue wolves
32:16preventing him from reporting to the alpha council immediately hearing this i instantly became alert
32:21jumping out of bed i quickly drove aurora to the enforcement office the guard explained that he had
32:26seen a female secretly following me after i entered the forest she made a phone call saying she's gone
32:31into the forest now's the time to act i showed him victoria's photo and asked if this was the female
32:36he
32:36saw the guard affirmed that's her absolutely i couldn't mistake that curly hair and pregnant belly
32:41with this lead the enforcement division decisively identified the suspects the same two underlings who
32:47were currently in custody seeing their scheme exposed they finally confessed it was this female
32:52called victoria who contacted our alpha she told us she knew kaylin had seized our territory and asked if
32:58we wanted revenge she said if we captured kaylin's mate and demanded territory as ransom
33:03he would surely comply victoria provided both the location and photos of the female we have nothing
33:09to do with the planning we were just following orders as the two subordinates revealed everything
33:13they knew kaylin who was cooperating with the investigation across the room looked utterly
33:18disbelieving his eyes narrowed dangerously he shouted you'd better be telling the truth victoria
33:23was pregnant too how could she possibly do this making false statements concealing facts do you
33:30understand what will happen to you the subordinate shuddered in fear hastily speaking up that i'm
33:35telling the truth it was a pregnant female with curly hair quite young looking she provided us with the
33:40information but after we captured kaylin's mate i don't know what happened next our alpha only told
33:45us to wait outside i only know that kaylin didn't care about his mate at all she called through the
33:50mind blinked nine times but he never let her finish a single sentence let alone agree to our terms
33:55the captured female was crying terribly repeatedly kneeling and banging her head on the ground
33:59begging us to spare the pup in her womb we could hear the sound of her forehead hitting the ground
34:03from outside who knew her mate would be so heartless that's what drove our alpha to such extremes
34:08hearing this kaylin collapsed into a chair impossible how could this be so everything liana said was true
34:14our pup died because of me it's all my fault for not answering her calls all my fault
34:18kaylin's mind was in chaos he couldn't comprehend why victoria would do such a thing kaylin sat stunned for
34:24an entire afternoon anxiously smoking an entire pack of cigarettes before finally attempting to call
34:29victoria ring ring ring no answer rather than trusting me kaylin had always trusted victoria
34:35more given their bond since childhood she was the pristine moonlight in his heart and he had
34:39subconsciously made excuses for her at every turn until the truth was revealed undeniable and damning
34:45the way he spoke of victoria now his gaze had shifted from adoration and concern to irritation i
34:50watched this transformation with a sense of bitter vindication the alpha of the rogue wolf pack was
34:55finally captured hearing this news my breathing quickened my chest heaving with emotion fists
34:59clenched tight all the rage i had been suppressing threatened to erupt the day of the attack remained
35:04vivid in my mind the pain still acutely present aurora felt the same way this wolf had cost her the
35:09ability to shift and her emotions were just as raw if not for them if not for their actions we
35:14would
35:15never have faced death so directly never lost our unborn pups the enforcement division sent another update
35:20victoria hadn't been apprehended but they had discovered she had purchased passage on a ship
35:24headed to a european pack officers were already stationed at the harbor waiting it seemed victoria
35:29had known her involvement would be exposed when the suspects were captured and had already planned
35:33her escape route the alpha council considered this case extremely serious a targeted attack against
35:38an enforcer's mate a pregnant she-wolf at that the news had spread throughout the werewolf community
35:43completely crossing the boundaries of acceptable behavior even among wolves if aurora hadn't tracked my
35:48location through our sister bond i would have surely died two lives lost in one attack after learning
35:53the full sequence of events the alpha twins stood frozen in place they hadn't expected it to be a real
35:59attack let alone a premeditated one orchestrated by the person they had trusted most when the bloody
36:04truth was laid bare before them their reality completely shattered after providing our final statements
36:10to the enforcement division aurora and i decided to drive home but just as we left the building
36:16walking through the wooded path that led to the parking area a snarling figure lunged at us from
36:21the shadows fangs bared and claws extended as the attacker drew closer in the moonlight i finally
36:26recognized her victoria in her half-shifted form she hadn't gone to the harbor at all but had been
36:31stalking us the entire time in the pale glow victoria's features were twisted between human and
36:37wolf her eyes glowing with hatred her face contorted with rage at this distance there was no time to
36:43defend ourselves all i could do was push aurora behind me and brace for the impact knowing
36:47neither of us could shift to protect ourselves then came a thunderous brow followed by the sound
36:52of bodies colliding but i felt no pain aurora are you all right we're somehow unharmed aurora hesitantly
36:58said liana i think kaylin intercepted victoria's attack to save us look following her pointing finger
37:05i saw two wolves lost in violent combat at the edge of the clary in the pack healer's den
37:10kaylin insisted on seeing me despite his severe wounds liana i am sorry i failed you i failed her
37:17pup too this is all my fault i'm so sorry you you're not hurt that's good when i heal could
37:23you give me
37:23another chance please liana can you my lips curved into a cold smile as i indifferently withdrew my hand
37:30from his bloodied one no there's no future for us anymore now it's finally your turn to experience
37:36the suffering i endured turning around i saw ethan standing at aurora's side his clothes torn and
37:41stained from helping subdue victoria begging love i was wrong i truly understand my mistake now don't
37:48leave me please i'm scum i'm less than nothing i even defended the witch who caused our pup's death
37:54you can hit me curse me anything just don't leave me i'm begging you aurora didn't even acknowledge him
38:00simply getting into the car and leaving ethan tried to follow but his strength gave out and he fell
38:06behind as we drove away i glanced in the rearview mirror at the twins one in an ambulance one on
38:11his
38:12knees in the street do you think they really understand what they did aurora asked quietly i kept
38:18my eyes on the road no they're just sorry they got caught sorry they lost their perfect little
38:23world where victoria was innocent and we were hysterical we didn't receive news about them
38:28again until a month later victoria was imprisoned in the silver prison after her capture and her pup
38:34had been found starved to death in her den when the enforcers searched for it being convicted as
38:38the mastermind behind the attack she would spend years with silver chains binding her wolf preventing
38:43her from shifting the prime years of her life would be spent in that hellish place ethan and kaylin
38:48after our bond severance spiraled into a destructive pattern every night they drowned themselves in
38:53wolfsbane liquor neglecting their duties as alphas pack affairs fell into disarray territorial disputes
38:58went unresolved alliance meetings were missed and pack members concerns were ignored as the twins
39:03descended further into their drunken haze finally their beta mason had enough backed by the council
39:08and most of the pack he formally challenged their leadership the twins weakened by alcohol and grief
39:13couldn't even properly shift for the challenge they were soundly defeated and unceremoniously expelled
39:18from the pack they had once led word spread quickly through neighboring territories
39:21of the alpha twins who abandoned their pregnant mates and lost everything as a result the alpha
39:26twins tried contacting us through different mind link frequencies daily apologizing and pleading
39:30for forgiveness from aurora and me they even knelt at the entrance of our new den at one point
39:35after we blocked their mind links completely and reported their harassment to the council
39:39peace finally returned to our lives after enduring so much pain we certainly weren't looking to
39:44reconcile with those worthless males for aurora and me the best days were yet to come two seasons have
39:49passed since that fateful day the forest around our small den burst with spring blooms stark contrast
39:54to the winter of our souls when we first arrived here aurora found purpose in helping other shoe
39:59wolves who had lost their ability to shift support circle that met under the full moon each month
40:03though silver poisoning had permanently damaged her wolf she discovered new strengths in her
40:08heal form developing healing abilities that were rare among our kind as for me the healer had been wrong
40:14about one thing while examining me for a persistent fever last month she discovered a miracle despite
40:20the severe damage from the attack i was pregnant again the life growing inside me was strong healthy
40:26and entirely my no mate bond required the moon goddess had granted us a second chance at motherhood
40:32when kaylin and ethan heard the news of my pregnancy through pack gossip they appeared at our door one
40:37last time silver tokens of apology in their hands please kaylin had begged his once proud alpha
40:43stance now bent with shame let me care for my pup it's not your pup i told him simply it's
40:49mine
40:50the confusion on his face would have been comical if not for the seriousness of the moment but how
40:55the moon goddess works in mysterious ways aurora answered for me stepping protectively to my side
41:01now leave before we call the enforcers again they left without another word the finality of our
41:07rejection finally sinking in that night as aurora and i sat by our hearth hands resting gently on my
41:13growing belly we smiled at each other's sisters who had survived betrayal loss and pain only to emerge
41:18stronger do you ever regret it aurora asked leaving them i shook my head feeling the gentle kick of my
41:26new life beneath my palm not for a moment the past was written in scars we would carry forever
41:32but the future that story was ours to write and it would be glorious
