Chapter 4

My eyes widened. I couldn't believe he could make such an absurd request.

Let me raise their child?

And he actually thought this was a favor to me?

I pushed him away and said wearily.

"Get out! I'm tired."

Jace grabbed my hand, looking impatient.

"Mira, don't forget-you're just an Omega!"

I shook him off, raising my voice a little.

"When you claimed me, why didn't you despise me for being an Omega? You could have just rejected me! But you were afraid your power would weaken! You're a coward!"

My words stung Jace. He already had a bad temper.

He grabbed my throat and said.

"Mira, looks like I've spoiled you too much!"

I said viciously.

"Reject me right now!"

Jace laughed coldly.

"Mira, you're just an Omega I've used up. As long as I don't reject you, who else could you marry? I'm proposing to Helena tomorrow!"

With that, he slammed the door and left.

I finally collapsed on the bed and cried all night.

At first light the next day, I heard commotion outside.

"Helena! Come out quick! Alpha Jace is here to propose!"

I secretly pulled back the curtain and looked out.

I saw Jace in an expensive suit, standing in the garden, full of confidence.

I stood by the window, lost and disoriented.

I couldn't believe he was really going to propose to Helena.

Then I heard Helena talking with a maid in the hallway outside my door.

The maid sounded worried.

"Miss Helena, since you've agreed to Jace's proposal, after the Alpha King comes to our pack tomorrow, should we still drug him?"

Helena said leisurely.

"Drug him? Of course we'll drug him. If I can spend a night with the Alpha King, maybe I'll have a chance to become the Luna Queen. I heard that after the Alpha King's mate died, he still hasn't found a second chance mate."

The maid hesitated.

"But if the Alpha King really falls for you, how do we explain it to Alpha Jace?"

Helena snorted.

"Then let Mira marry Jace! Anyway, since childhood, Mira has only been fit to pick up my leftovers, hasn't she?"

The maid flattered her. "Miss Helena, you're so clever. Not only can you keep Alpha Jace fascinated, but you'll soon win the Alpha King's favor too."

After they left, my heart was racing.

Alpha King Mason-the man who made every female werewolf swoon.
