The Luna He Betrayed Became the Queen He Lost

I felt the look on my face shake along with my heart.

But I drew a deep breath, calmly looked at her, then turned my head and kept walking.

Wisteria would not give up and ran after me, still talking next to my ear.

“Alpha told me, you don’t move at all in bed, like a dead fish, just looking at you is boring.”

“Can’t blame him either. After all, what man can bear such a boring mate?”

“Have you talked enough or not!”

I could not take it anymore, and without thinking, I directly reached out my hand, wanting to hit her.

At that moment, however, the ground suddenly shook hard; the stone columns around us were old and worn, and they broke apart at once.

“Ah!”

Wisteria screamed, tightly holding my arm, her nails digging into my skin.

Several big rocks fell down, just blocking our only way out, trapping us in a small gap.

“Help! Lucius! Hurry and save me!” Wisteria wildly hit the rocks.

And a broken stone pillar pressed against my leg, I only felt stabbing pain.

Soon after, Lucius’s worried shout came through the stones.

“Wisteria! Rosalie! Can you hear me?”

“Lucius! I’m trapped!” Wisteria seemed to catch a last hope, crying out in fear. “It’s about to fall here, save me!”

Then, a Beta’s frightened voice sounded. “Alpha! There’s no time left! We can only pull one person out before everything falls down; it must be fast!”

The air seemed to turn still at that moment.

I leaned against the stone wall, listening to Wisteria’s broken pleading, listening to my Alpha husband’s silence at that moment.

“Save Wisteria first.”

Just a few words, clear, cold, cutting off the last bit of love I had for him.

When Wisteria was pulled out, she turned back and gave me a mocking look.

Then the place where I was fully fell apart, and I was swallowed by darkness.

At the moment I fully lost consciousness, I prayed to the Moon Goddess.

Moon Goddess, if you permit it, please let me see my father’s spirit again. I was too tired.

When I opened my eyes once more, my whole body ached, and my leg was covered in thick plaster.

A man sat by the bed, his eyes dark, his face tired; it was Lucius, who had once been full of spirit.

When he saw me wake, he suddenly grabbed my hand, his voice rough. “Awake?”

I pulled my hand away with dislike and turned my head aside.

“Don’t touch me.”

His hand stayed in the air, stiff as he said, “Wisteria is young, and she is a healer. I must first make sure she is safe. And, we need her; only then can we save your father’s life, right?”

I listened to his big reasons, only feeling my stomach turn.

“Lucius, if she were not a healer, would you save me first or her?”

Lucius paused, then hesitated and said, “Of course you…”

“Do you dare to swear in the name of the Moon Goddess that what you say next is true?”

The room became terribly quiet.

He said nothing.

This brief moment of pause made me feel more sick than anything else.

At that time, the room door was pushed open, and Wisteria, wrapped in a light shawl, weakly leaned by the doorway.

“Alpha… I think I am pregnant.”

Pregnant?

Lucius, who had promised he would love me for his whole life, let this woman, who watched my father die without helping, become pregnant.

I softly closed my eyes, and the tears at the corners of my eyes finally could not be stopped and fell down.
