Chapter 1

In order to get the last herbalist to treat my illness, my five-year-old daughter went to Elena in tears. In the past, my daughter would rather die than call Elena by her name. But now, the poor girl sobbed with her head hanging low, addressing the witch before her as "Lady Elena".She had given up her dignity as a member of the pack and fell to her knees beside Elena."I beg you, Lady Elena. Please have this herbalist take a look at my mother."Sobbing, she bent over and kissed the top of Elena's foot. Meanwhile, Elena seemed gleeful to watch my daughter humiliate herself. She stepped on my daughter's weak and arched back.My daughter fell into a muddy pool after Elena stepped on her.Elena caressed the black cat in her arms and cackled. "Look! That's the noble future Female Alpha of Wolffang Pack! How is she more obedient than my black cat? "Come here! Show me how a werewolf purrs!"My daughter looked up from the muddy pool. Her face was stained with blood and tears that

When I woke up again, I found that I was a spirit tailing behind Brianna."Hi, can I have one apple pie?" Brianna worriedly put in her order at the bakery.Alas, the bakery owner immediately tried to kick Brianna out when he saw the dirty clothes on Brianna."You little rascal! Don't mess with my business!" Brianna fell onto the floor. The werewolves who walked past the bakery shunned her with disdain as though she was trash.She tried to get up by holding onto the glass counter, but the bakery owner gave her a shove again."Stop! You filthy little thing! Don't touch anything in my shop! This is a premium store. A bastard child like you has no place here!!"The owner pinched Brianna's ear as if he were going to teach her a lesson."I have parents! I'm the daughter of Alpha Alaric!" Struggling in pain, Brianna yelled, "Luna Clara is my mom! She's sick! I'm here to buy her an apple pie."The bakery owner was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter. Hands on his waist

Brianna, who received the apple pie, held it in her arms like it was a treasure as she hurried back to the log cabin.When she passed the castle, she ran into Elena, who was on a stroll with her black cat.Elena stroked the black cat in her arms and frowned. She delivered a slap to Brianna's face."Little brat! You don't have the right to touch me! This is for scaring my kitty!"Brianna lost her footing and collapsed to the floor. She started bleeding from the mouth. The apple pie fell out of her arms.Brianna ignored the pain on her face and reached out for the apple pie.Elena suddenly yanked Brianna's hair, forcing the poor girl to look up at her. "Ah, you're a shameless girl indeed. All you ever do is act pitiful like that useless mother of yours!"Consider this a warning—do not step foot into the castle and show up before your father with that pathetic look on your face! I will not spare you if that ever happens! Got it?"She snarled while wrapping her fingers around Bri

Alaric wanted to check on the situation. Elena, who had snapped to her senses by now, approached him and stopped him."Alaric, you're home early today!"She threw herself into his arms and quietly waved at the maids, a signal to take Brianna away.Alaric sensed that something was off. He tried to push Elena away, but she quick-wittedly leaned on his shoulder. Then, she said ruefully, "Just now, when you weren't around, your daughter suddenly humiliated me and pushed me onto the floor. I don't know what's gotten into her."You know, I've just recovered from the Wolfsbane. I'm still weak. Gosh, I'm feeling dizzy right now…"Tears shimmered in her eyes. Not only that, she suddenly held her head and pretended to faint.Alaric grabbed her. Enraged, he growled with a frown, "Is this how Clara raises her daughter? No wonder that girl is getting more out of control by the day—she's under the influence of her evil mother!"Elena pressed a hand on her chest in an attempt to distract Alari

Alaric had sent the maid to the log cabin to gauge our attitude—he wanted to see if we were ready to apologize.The maid who was sent to the cabin was shaking from head to toe.Upon getting the bad news, Alaric shoved Elena away. He didn't care about the herbal medicine that had spilled over the floor. He dashed into the log cabin. "How is that possible? We just drew a little of her blood. How could she die from that?"He mumbled. Panic grew when he saw the blood on the floor. Then, he opened the door to the bedroom and saw my lifeless body.Shaken, he placed a finger under my nose. Collapsing onto my bed, he yelled in grief, "Clara! Don't leave me!"He looked so heartbroken. Did he forget about the last time he forced his people to draw my blood?I had begged him at that time. "Alaric, stop! I might die! Elena lied to you. I didn't poison her! She's just putting on an act. Please trust me!"He ruthlessly shook off my hand on his clothes. His face looked icy as he warned m

As if anticipating Alaric's reaction, the herbalist unfastened Brianna's clothes.Brianna, who used to be scared of even a small cut on her finger, now had a frail body covered in horrifying bruises.Old scars overlapped with fresh wounds split open by the whip.I thought, "Oh, my Brianna, how much pain must you have endured?"Alpha Daniel's anger flared as he glared at Alaric. He asked, "I heard that you drove Clara and the child out just to let that witch live in your castle."A child so young has been abused to this extent. How could you not notice the abuse as her father? Is this how you protect your family?"Daniel ordered to keep Brianna in his territory and demanded Alaric to reflect on his actions.Upon returning to the castle, Alaric summoned all his maids before him. His expression was icy as he questioned them, "Who hurt my daughter? Who killed my wife?""Tell me everything clearly, or I will have you all buried alongside them!"The maids trembled in fear. Those who

The howling wind, sounding a mournful wail of agony, was the only response Alaric received.He lay trembling on the stone. His prayers turned into muffled sobs, "Clara, you must hate me, don't you? I killed you... I even failed to protect our child..."I'm sorry, Clara... It was my fault... my fault..."At that moment, a familiar blue light flashed before him."Are you the Moon Goddess?"Alaric's tear-filled eyes widened as he looked around, but there was no one in sight.The wind in the mountains twisted into a disdainful female voice. "You are not worthy of my presence. But Clara's child is innocent."Go home. For the sake of the pitiful, kind Clara, I will wake your child up."…I stayed by the side of my unconscious daughter day and night, constantly praying to the gods, begging them to let her live.On the third day, Brianna miraculously began to recover after days of sustaining on herbal medicine.Sitting by her bedside, I gently stroked her face. My tears fell uncon

Elena shed some crocodile tears. Once again, she acted frail and pitiful as she explained, "No, Alaric! I saw you leave home and didn't return to Pack for quite a while. "I took the risk to visit Brianna because I was worried about you and your daughter!"But this time, things didn't go as she wished.Alaric did not let go. Instead, he tightened his grip around her neck, lifting her feet off the ground."I-I just recovered from the Wolfsbane… I'm still quite weak…" Elena's face instantly flushed red, and even tears streamed down her face as she gasped in pain. She pleaded haltingly, "P-Please let go of me first.""You're still lying!"A commanding and furious voice rang out as Alpha Daniel stepped into the room.Behind him followed the most renowned herbalists of the werewolf packs.Elena, still being choked, widened her eyes in panic.Seeing Alpha Daniel enter, Alaric finally let go of Elena and flung her aside with disgust.But the words of the lead herbalist shattered A

Elena clutched her heart in pain and cried out, "But wasn't it you who broke the promise first?"Back when my clan's rebellion failed and we were exiled, you said you loved me, yet you didn't say a single word in our defense before your father!"You claimed to love Clara—that you had a duty to her. But you still made me live in the castle, forcing her to bleed for me."If I hadn't seen how little you valued Clara and your daughter, I would have never tested your so-called love repeatedly!""It was you who broke your promise to me. You broke your vow to Clara. You destroyed Clara, and now you want to destroy me too! You put all the blame on me. That's selfish of you!"Alaric was momentarily stunned by shock before he furiously roared, "Shut up, you whore!"Losing his mind, he lunged at Elena. Seeing this, she raised her hand. Dark energy swirled at her fingertips. She struck at his heart.Alaric swatted Elena away with a single blow and sent her flying. Then, he clutched his ch
