Chapter 4

Damien left with Lilith, and I contacted the pack healer again.

As the second ambulance brought me to the healer's cottage, I just passed by Lilith who was returning.

Seeing me, Lilith let out a scream and reflexively covered her lower abdomen.

"Alpha, why did Sera come after us?"

"Does she know I'm carrying your wolf pup and deliberately came to harm our child?"

Damien shielded Lilith behind him, his gaze sharp as he scanned over to me. When his eyes met my expressionless face, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Sera, what the hell are you doing?"

"I just used a bit of dominance, did you really need to call the healer twice? You're not some fragile human, why are you being so delicate?"

Damien thought I was making a fuss over nothing. He grabbed my wrist, trying to shoo me away.

Just then, the healer came over with my test results. Seeing the injuries on my face and Damien's menacing expression, the healer stepped forward, directly separating us.

"Sera, the Alpha's domination impact has caused nerve damage to your eyes. Your left eye is temporarily blind."

"What's your relationship with this Alpha?"

"Did he hurt you? Do I need to report this to the pack leader?"This has already violated the laws of the wolf pack."

The therapist's words made Damien's face turn ashen.

He looked at us suspiciously, thinking this was another act I was putting on to get attention.

But as I remained silent, he sighed and spoke up first.

"Sera, Lilith is pregnant."

"Once she gives birth to the child, I'll convince her to let you raise it."

"You're the child's mother, and you're my woman. We'll be very happy in the future."

"Be a good girl, go apologize to Lilith, and tell the pack's strategist that the tracking method was all her idea. Say you were jealous of her, so you deliberately lied to defame her."

"Lilith is so kind, she'll definitely forgive you."

The 'Moonlight Tracking Technique' was a hunting skill I had perfected over three years of practice, one movement at a time.

But last week, Lilith, in order to gain a higher status in the pack, demonstrated this technique directly at the pack gathering.

The strategist was an old acquaintance of mine who had seen me practice before. After receiving the method, he called me immediately.

I thus learned of Lilith's plagiarism and asked the strategist to inform the pack that the 'Moonlight Tracking Technique' was my original creation.

The strategist did me this favor.But having witnessed firsthand how I gave up my own chances for promotion to support his position, and how I'd racked my brains countless times for this hunting method, Damien was now asking me to hand over my work to someone else.

The whole thing was so absurd, I covered my face and laughed bitterly.

Damien, however, took this as my agreement.

"That's my girl, Sera. I knew you'd understand. You get some rest now, I'll go catch some wild rabbit for you."

With that, he strode off, and not long after, sent one of our tribesmen with a portion of rabbit meat.

The moment the food tray was opened, I took one look at the plate and started vomiting uncontrollably.

Ever since I pulled Damien out of the water eight years ago, I haven't been able to touch any animal that drowned. Just the smell of it makes me nauseous.

But Damien never remembers this.
