I am an Omega without a father, relying solely on my mother since childhood.

Apart from my mother, I didn’t have any friends. Also, my mother had no family left behind.

When Theo discovered I was his mate, his parents were dismissive of my bloodline and status.

But Theo firmly chose me, making me believe that our mate bond could overcome everything.

I felt loved like never before, but that spark faded with time.

That night, Theo stayed with me and I didn’t refuse. Although, the lingering scent of Elena’s roses on him made me nauseous.

The next morning, he was in a good mood. As he woke up, he kissed my forehead.

"The two most important women in my life can finally get along.I’m really grateful to you, Aria. I promise I’ll make it up to you in the future!"

After breakfast, he even returned my phone and allowed me to walk outside the villa in the company of werewolf warriors.

And the first thing I did was dialed my mother’s number.

Theo didn’t know that my mother had found her second chance mate this year.

We, mother and daughter, were no longer alone,, and with her help, I will soon be leaving this place.

In the following months, I tried to coexist peacefully with Elena.

She had Theo hire a private nutritionist and fitness trainer for her. Whereas I had nothing, and I didn’t even feel provoked by her flaunting it.

But even with all the experts taking care of her, by the eighth month of her pregnancy, Elena experienced an abnormal fetal position.

The doctor at the Pack clinic said she had to go to the largest werewolf hospital for proper care, or it could be dangerous.

Theo immediately packed his bags to take Elena away.

I curled up in the corner of the bedroom, my hands resting on my protruding belly, feeling an unprecedented weakness.

"You shouldn’t keep pretending to be strong." My wolf’s voice was low, "Our mate bond is breaking. If he leaves with Elena, we might not survive."

“No, we will! We have to endure this alone.”

Before he left, Theo glanced at me, his face full of exhaustion, but there was also a little warm care.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Not wanting to give away any signs of weakness, I preferred not to answer.

"Aria, I’ll be back to you before our child is born. Elena’s situation is urgent. When I return, I’ll be with you 24/7. "

I wanted to stand up and tell him that I needed him, too, that both I and my baby needed care. But my ego got the better of me, so I forced a smile and nodded.

Theo stared at me, somewhat surprised. He probably didn’t expect me to let him leave so easily.

He didn’t move until Elena called him. He then slowly took his gaze off me.

But as he was about to step out, he suddenly came running to me and held me tightly in his arms. His tone was more frantic than ever.

"I’m not leaving you, okay? I’ll have my Beta accompany you.He will stay here to take care of you."

My heart skipped a beat. I felt loved again, but I again shook off those feel-good emotions.

"You should go with Elena. If anything happens to her child, you’ll feel guilty for the rest of your life." I whispered.

In truth, what I wanted to say was If anything happens to Elena’s child, you’ll blame me for the rest of your life.

Theo slowly loosened his grip on me and walked away towards Elena.

Just as Theo was about to get in the car, a maid called out to him.

"Sir, please let Miss Aria move back to her original room. The room she’s in now is too damp, it’s not good for the baby."

Before Theo could answer, Elena said, "That won’t do! I’ll be moving back soon. How can she take my room?"

"I don’t want to move back," I told Theo. His face instantly lit up with a warm smile.

"I’ll buy you a new house when I return. I’m sorry for making you suffer for a few days."

With that, he got in the car and drove away with Elena.

After Theo left, I forced my weak body to endure the pain and started packing the things.

I looked at the watch.Six hours were still left before my mother and stepfather would send someone to pick me up.

I glanced at the ten werewolf warriors guarding outside the villa and called my mother. "I'm afraid it would be easy for you to take me. There are many werewolf warriors guarding me here."

"Aria, don’t worry, I will help you resolve this.” A stern, middle-aged man’s voice came from the other side of the line.

You’ll be my daughter from now on, and I won’t let anyone bully you again!"

Although I hadn’t met my mother’s second chance mate yet, his words gave me great encouragement.

But just after I hung up, Elena's mother barged into my room with Theo's parents. Each of them looked at me with disdain.

"You, an Omega, dare to deceive Theo and get pregnant with a bastard.” Theo’s mother hissed. “How dare you stay in our house!"

"If it were me, I would make sure everyone knew and ruin her reputation!" Elena’s mother chimed in, making Theo’s mother angrier. She then stormed over me and landed a tight slap over my face.

A servant, witnessing this, hurriedly stepped in front of me like a shield.

"Miss Aria is very weak right now. Mr. Theo has instructed me to take good care of her. You can't hit her!"

But Theo's mother shoved the servant aside, making her tumble on the floor.

"That fool Theo, still thinking about taking care of her and her bastard child?! Oh, god!! How did I give birth to such a useless son, allowing himself to be manipulated by such a wanton.!"

Theo's father, the Alpha of the Black Rose pack, stepped forward.

"As an Omega, to become my son’s mate is an honor for you. Yet you’re ungrateful and pregnant with a bastard! Fit one thing in your mind. Neither our family nor the entire Black Rose pack will ever accept this child of yours."

He then ordered the two werewolf warriors standing beside him.

"Take her to the pack clinic to abort the child, then expel her from the pack."

He held my arms and I struggled to break free. "No, let go of me!"

I was terrified for the safety of my child.

The servant again helped me to set free from warriors, pleading. "Miss Aria is already seven months pregnant, and her body is very weak! If you make her abort the child, she will definitely die!"

"And the child in my belly is Theo's, not a bastard! It is Elena’s child who is bastard!" I tried to defend myself.

But my truthful words only earned me another slap.

"How dare you talk nonsense! Theo himself admitted that Elena's child is his! I see you’re not just shameless, but also a liar!" Theo’s mother snapped.

"No, it’s not true..." I shook my head desperately. But they taped my mouth shut, not giving me a chance to explain.

I silently mocked myself.

Didn’t you once want to give up this child?

Why are you so sad now?

Tears silently fell from my eyes as my consciousness began to fade.

At that moment, a voice broke through the room.

"Stop! Who dares to touch my daughter!"
