Alpha Betrayal: I'm Pregnant, He Has Another Pup

The next morning, the moment I unlocked my phone, a trending topic on the forum popped up in front of me.

Two photos had gone viral. The first showed Christopher holding Scarlett by the waist as they entered a hotel together. The second showed Christopher spending a fortune at an auction to buy Scarlett a priceless Moonlight Necklace, just to make her happy.

The comments below varied. Some were envious of Scarlett, thrilled that an Alpha would spend so lavishly on her. Others were speaking up for me, defending me from the injustice.

"Christopher already has a Luna, yet he keeps things ambiguous with Scarlett. He's complete scum."

"When he asked the Alpha King for Luna's hand, it shook the entire pack. Has he forgotten the vow he made to love only her for a lifetime now?"

A lifetime loving me? Was his behavior back then driven by ambition, or was it genuine?

As the Alpha King's daughter, whoever I wed becomes the pack's Alpha.

At that time, Christopher was just a lowly illegitimate son of an Alpha, disliked within the pack and constantly bullied by Luna's kin.

He kneeled outside my mansion for a whole day and night. "I'll only ever love Rebecca. I swear to the holy Moon Goddess to give her happiness and never be unfaithful. If I betray this vow, may I never know true love in my lifetime."

That day, the rain poured down relentlessly, yet it couldn't wash away the sincerity in his heart.

The vow from back then seemed to echo in my ears, but now it sounded painfully ironic.

I broke the silence. "Let's go to the auction. I want to see what kind of beauty that she-wolf possesses to make Christopher go this far for her."

I drove to the auction with my bestie. Among the crowd, I saw a she-wolf in a haute couture gown move gracefully, radiating joy.

Scarlett was indeed beautiful. Her fitted dress revealed no hint of pregnancy.

Christopher stayed by her side, blocking anyone from offering her a drink.

Everyone praised Christopher for being so lucky to have such a stunning secretary.

Christopher grinned from ear to ear. He reached into his pocket and placed a blue moonstone ring on Scarlett's finger. "This ring once belonged to the Luna Queen. It's a genuine treasure. I'm giving it to you now."

At his words, the entire room fell silent in shock.

The ring belonged to the Luna Queen, yet Scarlett was merely a secretary. For Christopher to hand such a priceless item to her was outrageous.

I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails pierced my palms. In fact, that ring was my mother's heirloom.

On her deathbed, she placed it in my hand and said, "This ring has been treasured by our family for generations. I'll give it to you now. Seeing it should remind you of me, and it will bring you safety, peace and joy."

It wasn't just a treasure. It was my only connection to my mother, and Christopher had casually given it to another she-wolf.

My bestie was about to rush forward and grab the ring, but I held her back. "He won't get away with this forever. One day, he'll pay the price."

With that, I turned away and left the banquet silently.

On the way home, I pulled out my phone and called the top number in my contacts.

Christopher didn't return until midnight. Seeing me sitting on the couch instead of sleeping, he asked with concern, "Why are you still up so late? What if you harm yourself? You're carrying a pup now. You should put the pup first."

While speaking, he pulled a small plastic toy from his pocket and held it out to me. "I saw someone selling toys by the roadside on my way home, so I bought this specially for our pup. What do you think? It's cute, isn't it?"

Looking at the cheap toy he had bought from a stall and thinking of the ring he gave Scarlett just to make her smile, I felt nothing but bitter irony.

I lifted my gaze to him and smiled faintly. "I appreciate the thought. But if it's for my pup, it has to be the best.

"I've made up my mind. The ring my mom left me carries blessings for safety and peace. When the day comes, I'll give it to my pup. With her protection, we're sure to come through safely."

Christopher's smile froze, and he stuttered as he spoke. "That ring... It's your mom's heirloom. It's far too precious. When you deliver the pup, there will be so many eyes watching. What if someone with bad intentions tries to take it?"

I gave a meaningful smile.

He knew it was my mother's heirloom and how much it meant to me. Yet, without a second thought, he had given it to another she-wolf just to make her happy.

Seeing that I remained silent, Christopher grew more uneasy. "Tomorrow, we'll visit the Moon Goddess's altar and pray for a moonstone, so our pup can grow up safe and healthy."

I smiled faintly and nodded. "Alright."
