Chapter 2

Author: Spring Sun
I fell to the ground, looking disheveled, as blood trickled out from the corner of my lips. I couldn't believe this was Liam, whom I had loved since a young age.

For him, I took my responsibility as the Luna of Snowdrifter Pack very seriously. I even used my inheritance from my late parents to expand the influence of his pack, only for him to lay a hand on me for a human.

"Drop it, Liam. You know I don't care about titles and status. All I want is to stay by your side," Mia said to Liam with affection. "Don't hurt your marriage because of me."

Once again, she shot me a gleeful smile.

"Liam, even if you don't love me—even hating me to the point you do not want to see me—our daughter is innocent! Didn't you agree to spend time with Cecilia on her birthday?" I shouted at Liam between sobs when I thought of Cecilia's unfulfilled final wish.

"It's just a birthday! I'll make it up to her. As for you, you really didn't have to stalk me in the middle of the night. It's cold out here. Go home and rest early with Cecilia." Liam's tone softened at the mention of Cecilia.

Unbeknownst to him, Cecilia would never enjoy another birthday. My kindhearted daughter now rested in the urn I held.

Why couldn't Liam spend Cecilia's last birthday with her?

"Oh, Liam, was it Cecilia's birthday on that day? I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have asked you to come with me to my prenatal checkup if I had known. I could have gone alone."

Mia put on a look of guilt. Caressing her belly, she inched closer to Liam and spoke to him.

I was shell-shocked to learn about Mia's pregnancy and the reason Liam went missing on Cecilia's birthday!

"You—" My heart was torn into pieces. I confronted Liam in disbelief and begged him for an answer.

"Whatever. You don't have to be this confrontational. And don't you dare do anything to Mia's baby. I plan to register his birth in the Snowdrifter Pack royalty," Liam announced without any room for discussion.

He added, "That way, Cecilia will have a playmate. The baby will not threaten your position as the Luna of the Snowdrifter Pack."

"Hah! Liam, you really covered all your bases, didn't you?" I snickered loudly, feeling sorry for my foolish love and for Cecilia.

Stroking the urn in my arms, I thought, "Cecilia had refused to leave the world and hung on until the last second for a father like him."

Liam did not deserve to be Cecilia's father.

"I'm telling you now, so you won't cook up any wicked tricks to sabotage my plans!" Liam pulled Mia into a hug and kissed her on the forehead.

"I have something going on tonight. Go home to Cecilia and tell her I'll celebrate her birthday tomorrow."

Tears flooded down my face. My poor Cecilia did not live to see another day!

"He's right. Sofia, go home and spend time with Cecilia. Isn't she sick now? You got me wondering if you've been faking her sickness since you refuse to leave." Mia sounded concerned, but the look in her eyes suggested otherwise.

"Mia, how I wish you were actually with Cecilia now, you shameless, lowly human!" I could no longer control my emotions and slapped Mia on the face.

"Sofia, are you crazy?"

Liam immediately put me under control using the werewolf spiritual power. I crashed onto the floor, hard, but never once did I let go of Cecilia's urn.

"Get lost!" Liam screamed at me impatiently.

Feeling despaired, I scrambled up, ready to leave.

"Stop!" Liam suddenly called out. "What are you holding?"

"You don't have the right to know."

With that, I left defiantly.

He was a prince of the Snowdrifter Pack, while I was the daughter of the richest member of the pack.My parents tragically lost their lives in a rebellion within the pack. Before my mother passed, she begged Liam to shelter me, which he agreed to. Only then did she draw her last breath.Since I had had a crush on Liam from a young age, I mustered all my courage to confess my love.To my surprise, Liam rejected my confession.

    "Are you out of your mind?" Liam happened to come downstairs."Liam, help me! Sofia says she wants Cecilia to be the only princess of the Snowdrifter Pack. She doesn't want my child to be born!""Sofia, you never learn your lesson, do you? I've had enough of you and your vicious schemes!" Liam carefully picked up Mia and yelled at me.Looking at the two of them, I suddenly burst into laughter. "Haha... Liam, you fool!" I shot Mia a hateful glance. "Fine, I'll grant your wish! Liam, inform all members of the royal family that we're getting divorced tomorrow!""Good! Remember—you said that! Don't back out at the last minute! You think rejecting me will make me care about you again?" Liam sneered. "You'll regret this! Mia, let's go!" The two of them slammed the door and left.Without time to calm myself down, I packed up the belongings of my deceased daughter and used the werewolf spiritual power to erase every trace of the life we had shared.

    "How could this be? This isn't real!" Liam ignored his phone as it slipped from his hand when he got up, rushing to check Cecilia's urn."Liam, as your wife, I had no choice but to accept that you fell in love with someone else. But as a mother, I will hate you forever, and I will never forgive you." I stepped aside, blocking his way. "You are not worthy of touching my daughter.""Don't be like this, Sofia. I had no idea. Why didn't you tell me? You should have told me—this is a serious matter!" Liam stammered, his words incoherent. "Please, just let me hold Cecilia one last time, I beg you." His eyes were filled with tears. How ironic—and I thought Liam would never shed a tear.I hesitated. After all, Liam was Cecilia's father and the man she had longed to see one last time before she passed away.Just as I was about to hand over the urn in my arms, a voice rang out."My dear Liam."Mia had arrived without me noticing. She gently wiped away Liam's tears. Her voice was filled

    "Sorry, Liam. I had wanted to bring this secret with me to my grave, but I can't stand Sofia slandering me…" Mia sobbed and buried her face in Liam's chest.I sneered and watched their act coldly, knowing very well that Cecilia was definitely Liam's child."Just speak, Mia. Don't worry about Sofia's reaction. I will take your side if you have evidence." Liam gave Mia a reassuring look."I saw Sofia and Cecilia meeting with a man—even my werewolf guards saw it too! The three of them seemed very close as if they were a family."Mia responded with a determined look. "And it happened not just once."Liam turned to the guard beside Mia. The guard nodded with an uneasy expression."Liam, I can't believe that you did not grieve when you learned about Cecilia's death. Instead, you tried to snatch her ashes from me! You've been suspecting me all along, haven't you?" I chuckled coldly."Mia, as a human, you might not be aware of the rules in the werewolf world. When a child dies, her pa

    "Sorry, I don't need that. I will never repeat the mistake of being the mate of a dimwit." Since I had already completely severed my mate bond with Liam, I was ready to leave this noisy place. "By the way, as the mighty Alpha King of the Snowdrifter Pack, I trust you wouldn't embezzle your former mate's wealth. Please return, with interest, all the inheritance funds of my parents that the Snowdrifter royal family misappropriated over the years."With that, I turned and left the hall without looking back.Returning to the house where my parents and I once lived before their passing, my once hardened heart suddenly softened. I recalled their wishes for me—to simply live a happy life.Before, I had placed all my hopes for happiness on Liam, and that was the biggest mistake I had ever made.I thought I should take Cecilia's ashes and leave this place for good to start a new life.So, I booked a flight for next week.

    "Sofia, you can just take with you the initial investment you made with your inheritance." Liam said shamelessly."What did you say?" I was shocked by the extent of Liam's audacity."What—are you not satisfied? But Sofia, wasn't it you who pressured my parents with your money and forced me to marry you in the first place? You've achieved your goal. "Now that we're separating, we owe each other nothing if I return the initial amount to you. Right?""Liam, you're despicable!" I cursed angrily."Please wait a moment, honorable Alpha King and Ms. Tinsdale. Could there be some misunderstanding?" The royal treasurer interjected with a puzzled expression, "Wasn't your marriage to save the Snowdrifter Pack?""Save the Snowdrifter Pack? What are you talking about?" Liam was equally confused."Back then, the Snowdrifter Pack faced a century-long winter, and the other wolf packs—our allies—refused to help. Some even imposed economic sanctions on us.

I lowered my voice as I met Mia's gaze."My dear Liam, I want to go back with Sofia. She has suffered all these years. I want to move out as soon as possible and return the villa to her. This is my way of apologizing to her," Mia pleaded softly with Liam.Liam had no time to respond to us; he was still lost in thought, processing the words I had just said to him.Mia dragged me out of the Royal Treasury."Sofia, I didn't expect to witness such competency in a werewolf like you.
