Chapter 3 As a pack doctor , I knew very well that if Adam pulled out that knife , I would die . But I merely spoke with indifference . we you nothine " Fine , Adam , go ahead . If you pull that life out , I'll owe you nothing . " I was an omega orphan taken in by the nightlock pack . I had repaid their kindness with my life and my child's . " What did you say ? " Adam seemed to have not heard me clearly , his hand trembling as he gripped the knife Taking advantage of the moment , the Pack enforcers quickly subdued him . Nikki didn't hesitate , swiftly wheeling me away . I couldn't hold on any longer and passed out . When I woke up , I found myself in a regular hospital room . However , my body was connected to various medical devices usually reserved for the ICU . The nurse told me that all the critical care rooms were full , and Nikki had gone to coordinate my placement I had survived barely . BUL … I raised my hand and placed it over my flat abdomen . There was no longer any sign of my child's existence . He had stayed with me for only four months , briefly shielding me from the knife before returning to the heavens . " Luna Laura , you know , it doesn't matter if a woman never has children . You were seriously wounded , and you've delayed so long . Your body can't handle any more stress . You should try to come to terms with it . The nurse tried to comfort me , but I didn't say anything . Tears just flowed from my eyes . I would never have my own children in this life . Seeing me cry , the nurse hurried to get me some calming medication . But just as she left , the door to the room was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang . Adam strode in , his words dripping with sarcasm . " Laura , Carla said you were faking it , and of course , she was right , How could someone who's really injured be in a regular ward ? What , you've hired a whole cast of extras but can't even afford a proper room ? " I didn't bother looking at him . " Do you need something ? " My tone was cold . He paused for a moment , his brow furrowing . " What's with that attitude ? Do you know who you're talking to ? You hurt Carla , and now she can't undergo three surgeries . " " And because you pretended to be sick , now the patients at the pack hospital are causing a scene , accusing Carla of being the other Woman encouraging me to hurt you . Now , come with me . Apologize to Carla and clear things up . " He grabbed my arm with such force that it tore at my already painful wounds . I winced in pain , sweating profusely . " Adam , let go of me . I just had surgery . " He scoffed . " Stop pretending . If it were really that serious , you'd be in the ICU . " 2001 He yanked me hard , and I fell off the bed . " Crash- With a loud crash , the medical equipment that was connected to me scattered across the floor I could no longer tolerate it . " Adam , I won't apologize to her , and I won't clear things up . " " I owe the pack a debt , but I don't owe Carla anything . And I've paid my dues . So from now on , you have no right to order me around . " Adam's face darkened , his expression terrifying . He swung his arm and threw me onto the ground with force . The pain was so intense that my vision blurred , and I nearly passed out . " How dare you say you don't owe Carla ? Back when my grandma died , if it weren't for you spreading rumors , how would Carla have been accused of murder and made to go into depression ? She lost the chance to study at the Royal Medical Academy , lost the opportunity to become the pack doctor for the Alpha king . " " You were the one who was actually guilty . " " You threatened my grandma , forced me to mark you , and made you my Luna . " I curled my lip . So this was the reason he sealed the mate bond with me but never treated me kindly Years ago , Luna Ellen , his grandmother , had told him that if he ever made Carla the pack's Luna , she would strip him of all his Alpha powers and prevent him from succeeding as Alpha . To preserve his position , he had chosen me , all while maintaining a flirtatious relationship with Carla . I sneered . " Adam , you're so stupid . Haven't you thought about this ? If Carla were really innocent , why would Ellen , such a kind woman , be so opposed to her ? " - Luna Ellen was wealthy but not at all snobbish . As an omega , I was treated with equal respect . Adam seemed momentarily stunned . just then , Carla's mother barged in . " Adam , take Laura to the pack meeting now . If you don't hurry , Carla's going to collapse from the attacks the pack members are throwing at her . " Chapter 3
