Chapter 0002

BRIELLE

The smell of drugs came streaming into my nose. I felt irritated by it, swaying my head to drive the scent away. Due to the movement, my eyes came opened instantly. I found myself staring at a different ceiling unlike the one I was familiar with.

"Where am I? " I uttered, still looking. A beeping sound got my attention. I looked to the side and found myself being attached to a drip with a life support.

"This is the hospital," I realized, forcing myself to sit up.

That's when the door came opened and a doctor stepped in. "Oh, Luna, you're awake. How are you feeling?" She asked, drawing closer to me.

"Doctor Nicole," I called, recognizing her. She's the pack mansion's doctor, the one who texted and revealed my pregnancy to me.

She placed her back hand against my forehead and suggested that I lay down for a little while to rest. "You had a hard fall and lost some blood. But you'll be fine. Just rest," She suggested, slowly laying me down.

When I heard what she said about me bleeding, my mind immediately went to the baby in my womb. Worried, I asked, "What about my baby? Is it okay?"

Doctor Nicole stared at me with no words. Her face expression was beginning to frighten me, as she sighed out and said, " I'm sorry Luna, but we couldn't save your baby."

"What?" My eyes came large at her statement.

She explained to me how the fall caused a miscarriage, killing the baby instantly. "I know it's disheartening for you, Luna. Even your husband was shattered to hear the news. He had to leave. I am so sorry," She apologized to me, patting my shoulder.

When she mentioned Argon's name, I flashed back to the scene, recalling his stare when I laid at the bottom of the stairs, bleeding.

The look in his eyes... That smile... I held the side of the bed, slowly sliding my hand to my stomach to feel the spot were I always felt that heaviness.

That was my baby. But now, it's no more there.

It's gone.

My lips began to quiver with my eyes welling with tears. Unable to control myself, I began to cry.

The doctor tried to calm me down, embracing me. I managed to be calm a bit, listening to the doctor, who suggested I take some rest for the next two hours before I'm discharged. According to her, Argon didn't want me staying there for long. He wanted me home so he could pacify me.

"You need each other's love to pass through this hard time. Please rest." She soon left me alone to wallow in my pains.

I thought about Argon and his father, the late Alpha. Despite being a wolfless orphan, that old man took me in and made me his son's Luna.

He made me promise him on his dying bed that I wouldn't leave his son but make him happy always. Now in beginning to regret ever agreeing to that promise.

I regret it.

After resting at the hospital, I was brought back home by one of Argon's guards in one of his car. In my weak state, I made my way into the mansion to meet Argon and Estelle waiting for me. They were both at the entrance, welcoming me back with mockery in their voices, asking about the baby and what the doctor had said.

When I said nothing but tried to ignore them, Estelle came out laughing, talking about my dead baby. "That bastard got what it deserved," She laughed, clapping her hands.

There was a struck in my chest when she insulted my dead child. I wanted to say something back but couldn't. I was just too weak.

"Take this," Argon said, tossing a paper at my face. "That's the divorce papers."

Shivers ran down my spine when I heard Argon. I lifted my eyes to look at his face as he told me to sign it before twenty four hours.

"My lawyer will be back for it once your time is up. You better not delay, " He warned me, grabbing Estelle close as they made their way up the stairs, getting cozy.

I held the papers in my hands, staring at it in shock. I opened each pages and saw that Argon had already signed on it. All that was left was mine to finalise the divorce.

Heartbroken by this, I ran to my room and locked myself up. I fell to the ground, crying bitterly. "After everything goddess, this is what I get?" I sniveled, letting out my tears.

With what I've faced in Argon's hands, I decided to please him and leave for good.

I took a pen and was set to sign on the pages when something happened.

"Don't sign those papers, Brielle," A strong maidenlike voice ordered, planting fear in my heart.

I got to my feet at once, looking for who had spoken. "Who is there?" I questioned, shaking in my spot while turning around.

The moment my gaze fell on the mirror, I met two green eyes darting back at me. I screamed out in fear, stepping away, only to feel something inside of my body, rumbling intensely.

I fell on my knees feeling the pain inside of me. It was as if my stomach was about to explode.

Just then, a green wavy light came out of me, forming into something mesmerizing before my eyes. I stared at this until I was left in total shock.

What I saw left me bewildered.

There was a mighty black wolf with green eyes, looking directly at me. It gave a smirk and said in its feminine tone, "Don't sign it, Brielle. That's not the way of the IVYS." Its eyes glowed, as it grinned at me.

I was shaken by the presence of this mighty wolf in my room. The aura coming from it was terrifying. Even the eyes was enough to leave you in horror.

But a wolf with green eyes?
