Chapter 2

VALERIA He bites my thigh viciously and drags me beneath his body, controlling me mercilessly.

I try to resist, to call for help, my hands clutching my stomach, trying to protect my pup, but his claws, like deadly weapons, pierce my skin, tearing apart my small, vulnerable body.

I have to raise my arms instinctively when his sharp claws aim for my face, and I scream in agony as a deep wound slices across my cheek from my forehead.

Leaving my belly exposed, he struck our child.

Nooo, not the pup, please, Dorian, not my son! Tears poured endlessly from my eyes as I begged him, but his canines tore through my flesh, and his claws dug into the depths of my insides with chilling cruelty, seeking to rip out the life growing inside me.

I dont know how long this agony lastedI sobbed, pleading as long as I could speak.

The pain in my entire body was unbearable, but worse was the pain in my soul, bleeding and shattered.

I was discarded on the ground like trash, on the edge of a precipice, my consciousness nearly slipping away from the pain when I saw him shift into his human form.

You thought you could keep me tied to you forever, you idiot! he yelled furiously.

His eyes were cold and disgusted, a look I had never seen before.

Did you really think I loved you, that I was dying to have a child with you? What a waste! He kicked me with rage, but I no longer had the strength to even moan in pain.

Three damn years Ive been separated from my mate because of you! he roared, pouring out all the hatred hed stored up over time.

Why…? I barely managed to whisper, my face swollen, my tongue heavy, and my throat bleeding from a deep wound.

Because you came to the pack, the miserable orphan, and that stupid old woman said you would give birth to the strongest Alphas, powerful enough to elevate my bloodline.

Pure nonsense from that crazy old hag, but my mother believed her and forced me to give up my woman for you because you were infatuated with me! She gave me three damn years to get you pregnantthat was our deal.

If you didnt succeed, Id be free.

So, today I come, ready to rid myself of an obstacle like you, and you show up pregnant with some bastard inside you, he laughed like a psychopath.

I wont let you do it again, Valeria.

You wont ruin my life again.

This is the end for you! He walked toward me, and I saw death staring me in the face.

I wanted to say so many things… «I didnt know you already loved someone else.

I was just a foolish, infatuated girl, but I never forced you to love me back.

How could you deceive me, fake everything all this time? Our child… how could you… how could you do this…?!» I felt so powerless as I lay there, sobbing, bloody, and dying.

I wished I could connect with his wolf, scream out this injustice, but I couldntnot even that.

I didnt have an inner she-wolf.
