---- Chapter 6 I was brought back to the Dark Moon Pack. Everything here felt so familiar. I'd once lived here for eighteen years. Everything looked exactly the same as when I left. Charles was already standing at the entrance of the villa, waiting to welcome me home. In the five years since I last saw him, more gray hair had grown. His face had aged significantly too. Seeing him like this broke my heart. My eyes welled up with tears again. He smiled and opened his arms wide. "Welcome home, my dear daughter." Irushed into his embrace, choking back sobs as I apologized over and over. "T'm sorry, Dad. I've been such a disappointment. I made you worry so much." ---- Charles didn't ask me how I had been all these years. Instead, he just looked at me carefully with a hopeful gleam in his eyes. "Now that you're back, will you leave again?" I wiped my tears away and smiled at him. "No, I'm not leaving again. I'm staying in the Dark Moon Pack for good." As I spoke, I gently touched my lower abdomen. My gaze was gentle. "Dad, I'm pregnant. Can I stay here with your grandchild?" His eyes lit up with surprise and joy. "Really? That's wonderful! The pack's leadership was always meant to be passed to you. And now, witha grandchild on the way, we have another heir!" Warmth filled my chest. There's nothing like the unconditional love of family. It slowly washed away the pain Ethan's betrayal had ---- caused me. My pregnancy wasn't easy. The pup was fragile, and my health wasn't ideal either. Charles quickly summoned the best healer in the Dark Moon Pack and had them source rare herbs to help strengthen my body. Every day, I ate the most nutritious food and received the best care. Eventually, the healer declared that both I and the pup were completely healthy. Charles was overjoyed. In front of the pack's elders, he officially announced that I would be the next leader of the Dark Moon Pack. After I gave birth, he planned to hold a grand succession ceremony to declare me as his rightful heir. During my pregnancy, life became very busy. Ihad to work with the medical team to manage my health, while also learning what it meant to bea worthy Alpha Female.
