The Luna He Betrayed Became the Queen He Lost

One week later, I was discharged from the hospital and went back home, coming back alone to an empty house.

Lucius stayed caught up in the happiness of becoming a father for the first time, staying beside Wisteria every day and paying no attention to me.

I slowly started to pack my things in the room, and I did not know how much time had passed before Lucius suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

“Rosalie, don’t forget there is a shared charity auction of the northern packs tonight.” He frowned as he looked at me. “Wisteria said she wants to get along well with you, just bring her with you, and you two build your relationship.”

“Not going,” I said coldly.

As soon as I spoke, Lucius stepped forward and held my shoulders, forcing me to face him.

“You are the Luna of our pack, don’t make me lose face. You have to go.”

I looked into his cold gray eyes and nodded without any feeling.

Fine, I only treated it as the final time completing the duty of this Luna.

At the auction, Lucius, trying to please Wisteria, offered bids for several valuable pieces of jewelry.

Until the last one, when Lucius shouted an extremely high price, I finally could not stop myself and stopped him.

“The defense project in the north needs money, or it may not hold against the next attack of rogue wolves.”

Lucius’s movement of lifting the sign stopped.

“Rosalie, don’t spoil the atmosphere. I know what I’m doing.” His tone sounded unhappy.

Wisteria’s face looked wronged. “Alpha, then forget it, the pack’s defense is truly more important. I can accept a little discomfort; it’s fine.”

“Fifty million.” Lucius looked at me in a provoking way and raised the sign again.

One strike made the decision.

Under the jealous eyes of everyone, that priceless necklace was put onto Wisteria’s neck.

She leaned against Lucius, and Lucius lowered his head to look at her, his eyes full of deep affection that made people feel uncomfortable.

I could not continue watching, stood up, and went to the restroom.

When I stepped out, Wisteria stopped me in a corner of the hallway.

“Luna, Alpha gives me everything I ask for. Are you mad?”

“I am not mad. I just don’t care anymore.”

What I said was true. My bags were already ready, and I could leave whenever I wanted.

Wisteria’s face changed, turning dark and tense. “So you mean I am not even worth being your rival?”

I did not feel like explaining her wrong idea. I turned around and walked away, but after a few steps, I felt a sudden shove from behind.

In the next second, everything in front of me spun, and then severe pain hit.

Only then did I understand that I had been pushed down the stairs.

I had just forced myself through the pain and tried to get up when I saw Wisteria pull off the necklace from her neck with one hand, crying in a weak and pitiful way.

“Lucius, help me! Luna, she…”

Three seconds later, Lucius rushed over, went straight to Wisteria, and only after that did he look at me.

He turned and tried to rush down the steps to lift me up, but paused when he heard Wisteria speak in complaint.

“Alpha, Luna, she got mad, it’s all my mistake…”

“She kept telling me to remove the necklace you gave me, and even tried to do something to me, I accidentally pushed her…”

Lucius’s movement toward me stopped.

“Rosalie, you truly make me feel more and more disappointed.” His face was cold. “Wisteria is your father’s lifesaver, is the mother of my child, how could you!”

“I…” I tried to speak, but was quickly cut off.

Wisteria’s eyes were wet with tears as she held onto Lucius’s sleeve. “Please don’t blame Luna, it’s all my mistake…”

“She acted first! Wisteria set me up!”

I finally couldn’t hold back my feelings, breaking down and crying out loud.

“She is carrying my flesh and blood, how could she ever do anything to you in this situation!”

While saying this, Lucius lifted Wisteria in his arms, his actions soft like he was holding the only precious thing in the world.

“Lucius, my leg is bleeding…”

I lowered my head and saw the bright red blood slowly soaking out of my dress.

Lucius lowered his gaze and glanced at me. Hesitation passed through his eyes, but it was quickly broken by Wisteria’s weak voice.

“My stomach hurts… the baby, will the baby be safe?”

Lucius did not look at me again; he carried Wisteria and turned away without stopping, coldly leaving his final words behind.

“You don’t have to go home tonight, think it through, figure out how to be a generous Luna, only then can you return.”

Blood kept running from my forehead, forming a pool of red on the ground.

In the empty corridor, no one answered my soft cries for help.

My awareness slowly faded, and I suddenly remembered the day we bonded. Lucius softly kissed my forehead.

“Rosalie, I will protect you for my whole life.”

So the whole life he mentioned was only a short five years.
