Chapter 5

Arriving at the entrance to the hunting grounds.

He strode inside.

Before he got close, he saw the dirt stained red with blood.

The smell of blood in the air hadn't yet dissipated.

He covered his nose. "Why does it stink so much? What the hell is that woman Seraphina doing?!"

Hearing this, cold sweat poured from Leo's forehead. "Alpha Orion, maybe you should just see for yourself..."

He stepped aside.

Revealing me, covered by a white cloth, and a small white bundle next to it.

Orion's hand moved back and forth between the two white cloths.

Before he knew it, his brow was furrowed in uncertainty. He seemed hesitant.

I clutched my chest. Knowing what he was about to see, my heart ached unbearably, yet I couldn't bear to look away.

Finally, he reached his hand toward that small bundle.

He had just lifted the white cloth when a sharp cry came from behind him.

"Orion, why did you bring a dead cat corpse over here?! Did you forget? I'm allergic to cat fur! I hate stray cats the most!"

Beatrix shrieked and burrowed into Orion's arms.

Orion's panicked expression froze. He quickly seemed to come to his senses and kicked my child's corpse away with one foot.

He then ordered people to bring over several wild dogs. The beasts, smelling meat, swarmed forward.

I screamed and lunged forward, but I couldn't do anything.

I questioned him frantically, bit and clawed at him, but it was useless.

I was just a soul now. No matter how much pain I felt, no one could see it.

But I truly wasn't willing to accept this. What did I do wrong?! What did my child do wrong?!

Looking at the ground full of scraps, a flash of malice crossed Beatrix's eyes.

Orion frowned.

"Stop playing tricks. Where's Seraphina?! Where the hell is she?!"

"Driving Beatrix to attempt suicide wasn't enough—now she's using a dead cat corpse to scare Beatrix! I never knew she was so vicious!"

"Seraphina! Aren't you the one who values the child most? If you don't come out, once the child is born, we're getting divorced and breaking the mate bond! You can't win custody from me! You'll never see the child again for the rest of your life!"

I sat dazed on the ground, crying and laughing.

Yes, my parents were already gone.

Orion had betrayed me too. What I valued most was this child.

But he was killed by his own father, and in the end, not even his bones remained!

Orion! You will definitely go to hell!

He shouted angrily, demanding that I come out.

But no one responded.

Finally, Leo steeled himself and walked over. While slowly lifting the white cloth covering my corpse, he said tremblingly, "Alpha Orion, Luna Seraphina is right here! As for the child, you just fed him to the wild dogs..."
