Alpha's Moon Howls in Regret

I calmly shifted my gaze away from his and Serena's intertwined fingers and shook my head quietly:

"Don't bother."??

My peaceful reaction stunned all three of them.

Max, who had followed them over, let out a mocking laugh:

"Maya, what are you pretending to be now? Stop acting."

"You used every dirty trick in the book to become the Alpha's mate. Now that you're pregnant, you're still trying to play hard to get? Pathetic."

"I'm telling you, even if you're pregnant, we only recognize Serena as our Luna!"

He still couldn't see his own situation clearly.

Seeing my expression remain cold and distant, Garrett also grew angry. He furrowed his brows and accused me sternly:

"Maya, it's bad enough that you stalked me and interfered with pack development, but now you're throwing a tantrum here too?"

"I can only be patient for so long. Serena's silver poisoning is getting worse - she can't handle drama, but you came here anyway."

"Get out of here right now!"

He grabbed my hand, trying to forcibly drag me away from the scene.

But the next second, several more rogue wolves attacked.

Garrett and Max both rushed to protect Serena, who stood in the clearing.

Garrett instinctively shoved me aside.

But he clearly saw that there were wolves attacking from behind me too.

The rogue wolf pounced on me, knocking me to the ground and tearing into me savagely. Blood and flesh flew everywhere.

I lost consciousness completely in the excruciating pain.

When I woke up again, I was lying in the Healing Center. The smell of herbs drifted through the gaps in my bandages.

The bedside was empty.

A nurse came over to remove my IV when she saw I was awake. Her tone was concerned:

"Although the Gamma rescue team arrived in time, you were too close to the attack. Your injuries were too severe. Your baby couldn't be saved."

I stared calmly at the ceiling, my voice barely a whisper:

"It's fine. I could feel it myself. Besides, I was planning to abort anyway."

When the nurse wheeled me out of the room in a wheelchair, I saw that Garrett had sent me a single message:

"Serena was injured in the attack. I'm taking her back to the pack for treatment."

He and Max had applied for an emergency helicopter together and escorted Serena back to the pack overnight.

As for my injuries—he didn't care at all.

Although I'd already lost hope in him, this still left me feeling devastated again, making my heart ache until I couldn't breathe.

I used this time to finalize the mate bond dissolution agreement with my lawyer friend.

After closing our chat, I saw the family group where my father, Max, and even Garrett's Beta were all sending birthday wishes to Serena.

Looking at the panicked birds flying past the window, I smiled bitterly to myself.

So they all remembered Serena's birthday after all.

"Thank you Garrett for my Luna necklace!" It bore the Silverpine Pack emblem—proof of Luna status.

Below was a selfie of her wearing the necklace.

Garrett immediately replied:

"No matter what the future holds, Serena is the only one I'll ever recognize as Luna."

I silently watched this heartwarming scene, then left the group chat entirely.

The second I left the chat, Garrett called me. His voice was full of mockery from the start:

"Maya, what drama are you starting now? Are you mad because you saw how nice we are to Serena?"

"You accused her and her mother of selling pack secrets before, claiming they killed your mother. But what was the truth?"

"Uncle already told me the truth - your mother was weak and got herself killed by rogues outside!"

"Then you said Serena's mother wanted to sell you and Max to rogue wolf camps! Ha—"

He made no effort to hide the contempt and disgust in his voice.

"I had that investigated too. That camp never even existed!"

"Max told me you tricked Serena into going out to play with you, then caused her to fall off a cliff and lose her memory."

"In the end, Serena was the one who took care of her for a whole month!"

Like he'd finally found an outlet for his anger, Garrett went on a furious rant:

"I never actually wanted to bond with you at all. If it weren't for the fact that you were carrying my child and I was worried you might hurt yourself—"

"I never would have gone into that hotel that night and drunk that wolf wine you drugged—"

I listened to it all in silence until a healer walked over and interrupted Garrett:

"Excuse me, are you patient Maya? Please come to the claiming room to claim your child's body."

Garrett fell suddenly silent. His breathing became sharp and rapid:

"Body? What child's body?"

For some reason, I detected a note of disbelief in his voice.

I was about to speak when I heard Serena's soft laughter from his end of the phone:

"Garrett, you're so silly. Maya cares about you and your child so much—how could she ever let anything happen to him~"

Hearing this, Garrett's tone instantly turned ice cold:

"You're right. Maya, I didn't expect your jealousy to reach this level!"

"I won't even mention your previous schemes, but now you're trying to use a child to make me pity you?"

"I'm telling you - if you don't stop this, we're breaking the mate bond!"

He finished speaking and waited smugly for me to regret my actions.

But after a few seconds of silence, I let out a sigh of relief:

"Good. Then I'll see you at the Alpha Council the day after tomorrow."

I hung up and turned to walk into the claiming room.
