Chapter 5

I spent an entire week in the therapist's cottage.

During this time, Damien went hunting with Lilith, updating the pack's status almost every hour.

"The joy of a pregnant woman is not having to move a muscle!"

In the photo, Damien was down on one knee, massaging her tired legs.

In the comments, Damien's parents chimed in: "Sera should be doing this, you two should rest!"

"Where's Sera? If she's making excuses about taking care of Lilith, just kick her out of the pack!"

When Damien first met me, his father was bedridden from an injury, and his mother was in tears all day.

I gave up my pack advancement exam to care for him for nearly half a year, only then did his father regain mobility.

But apparently, they felt no gratitude towards me.

They only expected me to slave away for their daughter-in-law! Screenshot Lilith's social media posts.

Go to the pack's storage and retrieve the list of gifts I've given to Damien's parents over the years.

I took the moonstone I hadn't given away back to the pack's jeweler: "Please return this, I don't need it anymore."

"Are you sure, Sera? You spent so long choosing this moonstone, do you really want to return it?"The jewelry designer couldn't understand why I suddenly changed my mind.

I gave a faint smile and calmly said, "He's already mated."

The jewelry designer was stunned, looking at me with eyes instantly filled with sympathy.

"Sera... I'll help you return it right away. Please don't be sad."

After dealing with this, I wandered aimlessly around the wolf pack territory, unknowingly arriving at the forest clearing where Damien had first confessed to me.

This forest was the dating spot for unmated werewolves.

Many mated werewolves would bring their love interests here to court and flirt.

Back then, Damien showed me how affectionate the werewolves were when courting, telling me he loved my soul, regardless of my body.

I was moved and agreed to his pursuit.

But after seeing that video, I realized Damien didn't love my soul at all. He just needed a puppet to remain chaste for Lilith.

With a heavy heart, I drowned my sorrows in alcohol.

But after just two glasses of strong liquor, my body felt a wave of emptiness.

My whole face turned bright pink. As I stumbled out, two young werewolves blocked my way, laughing.

"Hey beautiful, have you heard of the pack ritual?"

"It's a full moon tonight. We can give you the most primal experience!"They dragged me to a secluded spot in the bushes, one on each side.

My whole body felt limp and weak. I couldn't muster an ounce of strength, not even enough to shift forms.

I stooped to pick up a broken branch from the ground, clutching it tightly. Pressing the sharp end against my own throat, I threatened suicide to barely escape.

My mind foggy, I stumbled back to my place on unsteady feet. Just as I was about to open the door...

Suddenly, I heard Damien and his friends' raucous laughter from inside.

"Alpha, you're really willing to give away a gorgeous she-wolf like Sera to an outsider? Outsider wolves are the lowest of the low, riddled with disease."

"Sera's been marked by him. She'll be a banished Omega forever now."

Was it Damien who brought in the outsider wolf?
