I’ve never gone to a doctor about it, but I know myself well enough to realize it’s something that comes and goes in waves, especially when I'm ovulating. During that time of the month, I'd need to do it two to three times a day or my body would feel extremely uncomfortable. Normally, my tall, broad-shouldered husband would be the one to ease that ache and fill the emptiness in me. However, lately he’s been impossibly busy, away on business trips for weeks at a time…

The smoothie shop was a whirlwind of activity during the lunch rush when a customer's call shattered my focus. "Is this the manager?" a sharp voice demanded. "I ordered a smoothie with just a touch of sugar. Why is it so sweet?" I checked her order and explained calmly, "Miss, Chocolate Bliss has a naturally sweet base." Not long after, she called again. "I asked for five ice cubes. Why are there only four?" Swamped and barely keeping up, I apologized and moved on. Before I could catch my breath, the phone rang once more. "I requested the guy in the black shirt to deliver my order. Why did a girl show up?" Suppressing my irritation, I clarified, "Miss, we handle the drinks; deliveries are managed by couriers." Finally, the calls stopped. But as the rush subsided, the headquarters called, telling me that a customer had lodged a complaint, accusing me of seducing her boyfriend.

Ich war im achten Monat schwanger, und die Wehen setzten ein, doch mein Alpha-Gefährte Damien sperrte mich in einen Silberkäfig im Keller, um die Geburt hinauszuzögern. Als ich um Hilfe schrie, sagte er nur, ich solle warten. Denn die Gefährtin seines verstorbenen Bruders, Victoria, brachte am selben Tag ihren Welpe zur Welt. Der Seher des Rudels hatte vorhergesagt, dass nur der erstgeborene Welpe von Mondgöttin gesegnet und zum zukünftigen Alpha werden würde. „Der Titel gehört Victorias Welpe“, sagte er. „Sie hat Marcus verloren. Sie hat nichts. Du hast bereits all meine Liebe, Elena. Der Silberkäfig wird dafür sorgen, dass du nach ihr entbindest.“ Die Wehen waren eine Folter. Ich flehte ihn an, mich in die Klinik zu bringen. Er packte mein Kinn und zwang mich, ihn anzusehen. „Hör auf, so zu tun. Ich hätte wissen müssen, dass du mich nie geliebt hast. Alles, was dir je wichtig war, sind Reichtum und Status!“ „Nur um deine Wehen zu erzwingen und zu stehlen, was meinem Neffen zusteht … Du bist wirklich böse.“ Blass und zitternd flüsterte ich: „Der Welpe kommt, ich kann es nicht aufhalten. Bitte, ich leiste einen Bluteid. Die Erbschaft ist mir egal. Ich liebe nur dich!“ Er spottete. „Wenn du mich lieben würdest, hättest du Victoria nie in diesen Vertrag gedrängt, um das Geburtsrecht ihres Welpen aufzugeben. Ich hole dich ab, wenn sie entbunden hat. Schließlich ist das in dir auch mein Welpe.“ Er bewachte Victorias Kreißsaal. Erst als er das Neugeborene in ihren Armen sah, erinnerte er sich an mich. Er befahl seinem Beta, mich freizulassen. Doch die Stimme des Beta bebte. „Luna… und der Welpe… sie sind tot.“ Und in diesem Moment verfiel Damien der Wildheit.
