Chapter 14
My mate, Alpha Edmond, had twins with his fated mate.
He hid them well, but I still found out.
In a fit of rage, I took his twin children and hid them away.
To make me reveal their whereabouts, Alpha Edmond hung our son upside down at the entrance of the estate, leaving him exposed to the scorching sun for the entire afternoon.
By the time I got there, my son was beet red with cracked lips and on the verge of losing consciousness.
My heart felt like it was being torn apart. I confronted him, “Isn’t Noah your son?”

“Then are Emma’s kids not mine?” he shouted back, furious. “Fiona, I’ve treated them all the same. I’ve never treated you and Noah poorly. Why are you making things difficult for Emma and her children? If you don’t hand over my twins today, I will make sure your son suffers until he dies!”
With that, he struck Noah with a whip embedded with silver spikes.
My son cried out in agony, but it was as if Edmond didn’t hear him at all.
My heart ached as if it were being shredded. In the end, I had no choice but to give in. “They’re… they’re in the villa by the edge of the territory.”
Edmond dropped me and my son, rushing off.

When he came back, my son had succumbed to severe dehydration and couldn’t be saved.
I held my unconscious son in my arms, completely falling apart. I rushed to the pack medical center.
At the door of the emergency room, the Pack doctor sadly informed me, “Luna, you’re too late. The child was already running a high fever and had been exposed to the sun for too long. His organs failed from dehydration -there’s nothing even the Moon Goddess could do to save him.”
I couldn’t accept it. I was broken, sobbing uncontrollably.

Oh my God, just yesterday he was lively and full of energy by my side. How could it be that after just one day, we’re forever apart…
I never intended for my threat regarding the twins to cost me Noah’s life.
In that moment, overwhelming regret consumed me.
After dealing with my son’s funeral, I was crushed by the enormity of my grief. I couldn’t eat anything, my body felt utterly weak, and I spent my days lying in bed.
It wasn’t until three days later that Alpha Edmond finally returned home.
Seeing me lying in bed, he approached without a flicker of empathy and scolded me, “Fiona, because of your so–called good deed, my twins have been traumatized. They’ve

been running a high fever for three whole. days, plagued by nightmares! They’re only three years old; how could they withstand such shock?”
Three years?
But my Noah was only five!
How could he withstand everything you put him through?
A wave of grief and rage filled my chest as I glared at Alpha Edmond. Yet, my throat was so hoarse I couldn’t utter a single word.
“Fortunately, Emma is quite magnanimous. She won’t hold this against you this time. But next time, don’t be so rash and jealous.”
He paused for a moment, then suddenly pulled out a gift box and placed it on the

table, lowering his voice. “Noah’s out training, right? The last time I had to tie him up was just to scare you; I never intended to really torment him. He’s a little man; he should be able to handle this challenge.”
“This is a gift I got for him. When he gets back from training, you can give it to him. I need to go be with Emma and the kids, so I won’t stick around.”
With that, he stood up and walked away.
I stared blankly at that gift box, feeling as if my heart was being pierced by a knife, to the point where I could barely breathe.
But he didn’t realize that my Noah wouldn’t be coming back.
Filled with rage, I pushed myself up, suddenly going wild, and smashed that gift
