---- Below was a selfie of her wearing the necklace. Garrett immediately replied: "No matter what the future holds, Serena is the only one I'll ever recognize as Luna." I silently watched this heartwarming scene, then left the group chat entirely. The second I left the chat, Garrett called me. His voice was full of mockery from the start: "Maya, what drama are you starting now? Are you mad because you saw how nice we are to Serena?" "You accused her and her mother of selling pack secrets before, claiming they killed your mother. But what was the truth?" "Uncle already told me the truth - your mother was weak and got herself killed by rogues outside!" "Then you said Serena's mother wanted to sell you and Max to rogue wolf camps! Ha-"' He made no effort to hide the contempt and disgust in ---- his voice. "Thad that investigated too. That camp never even existed!" "Max told me you tricked Serena into going out to play with you, then caused her to fall off a cliff and lose her memory." "Tn the end, Serena was the one who took care of her for a whole month!" Like he'd finally found an outlet for his anger, Garrett went on a furious rant: "T never actually wanted to bond with you at all. If it weren't for the fact that you were carrying my child and I was worried you might hurt yourself-" "T never would have gone into that hotel that night and drunk that wolf wine you drugged-"" I listened to it all in silence until a healer walked over and interrupted Garrett: "Excuse me, are you patient Maya? Please come to the claiming room to claim your child's body." ---- Garrett fell suddenly silent. His breathing became sharp and rapid: "Body? What child's body?" For some reason, I detected a note of disbelief in his voice. I was about to speak when I heard Serena's soft laughter from his end of the phone: "Garrett, you're so silly. Maya cares about you and your child so much-how could she ever let anything happen to him~" Hearing this, Garrett's tone instantly turned ice cold: "You're right. Maya, I didn't expect your jealousy to reach this level!" "T won't even mention your previous schemes, but now you're trying to use a child to make me pity you?" "T'm telling you - if you don't stop this, we're breaking the mate bond!" He finished speaking and waited smugly for me to ---- regret my actions. But after a few seconds of silence, I let out a sigh of relief: "Good. Then I'll see you at the Alpha Council the day after tomorrow." I hung up and turned to walk into the claiming room.
