I clenched my fists. She conveniently ignored the truth that her daughter had stolen my mate. I tried to stay calm and not get angry. Fighting with people wasn’t good for my pup, so I ignored the mean comments. I didn’t want my stress to affect my pup.
As time went by, I loved my pup more and more-more than I ever thought I could. Everything I did was for my pup now. I would do anything to protect and keep my pup safe.
Even though some people were unkind, other things in my life were going well during my pregnancy.
Alpha Gerald, as the CEO of BuildRight Corp, was surprisingly understanding about my situation. He even gave me a small raise, which honestly helped a lot!
Eleanor and Nate spoiled me with attention, completely in love with their godchild even before we knew if it was a boy or a girl. They insisted on setting up the nursery themselves, turning a room in my parents’ house into something out of a dream.
Eleanor came with me to every pack doctor visit and test. She never missed a single moment. She even planned two celebrations. One was with my work friends, and the other was with our family.
My pup would be born into a world full of love, from both sides of my life.
When I learned I was having a boy, I decided to name him Liam. And so it was that Liam Bennett was born healthy, with a pair of striking violet eyes that would forever remind me of the night that changed my life-the best night I’d ever experienced! I would never forget that mysterious man with the violet eyes, though his identity remained unknown to me.
From his first breath, my son was surrounded by love. My parents, once disappointed, now doted fiercely on their grandson. Eleanor and Nate visited daily, always there to help. Even Alpha Gerald and Luna Marla became like family, calling me their daughter and showering Liam with gifts, including the finest stroller. On Liam’s birthday, they brought moonflowers and balloons.
After maternity leave, Liam stayed with my mother while I balanced work and college study. Thanks to my parents and godparents, I never missed a semester and graduated alongside Eleanor.
With my diploma, I was ready to build my career and succeed. I was determined to give Liam everything he needed.
Caroline’s POV
Life after giving birth to Liam turned out to be smoother than I had anticipated. My exceptional performance at BuildRight Corp had caught the attention of Alpha Gerald, who even offered me a promotion within the company. The only downside was that my child had inherited my scentless wolf trait. However, every time I gazed into his violet eyes, reminiscent of his father’s, my heart melted.
One afternoon, as I was preparing Liam’s meal, Rory stirred restlessly within me.
“Be careful, Caroline. I sense trouble coming.”
Sure enough, Aunt Diana pushed through the door, her eyes gleaming with hostility.
“Well, well, if it isn’t the pack’s little embarrassment,” she sneered, striding into my apartment uninvited.
I swallowed my anger. “What brings you here, Aunt Diana?”
Her gaze swept the room before landing on Liam, who was playing in his activity area. Her face twisted in disgust.
“Another scentless wolf. What a waste of pack resources.”
“Liam is my son, and he deserves everything,” I said firmly.
Diana let out a harsh laugh that made Liam flinch.
“Deserves what? To be another burden on the pack? Scentless wolves can’t even form basic pack bonds.”
“We contribute in other ways. At BuildRight Corp-“
“Oh yes, your job,” she cut me off. “Speaking of which, did you hear? Selina’s pregnant.” Her eyes landed on Liam’s new premium toys. “About that… does a scentless pup really need things this nice?”
My hands clenched into fists.
“Why don’t you give all of Liam’s things to Selina’s baby?” she said with false sweetness. “Consider it a gift for your nephew. He’ll be a purebred wolf, unlike some… fatherless stray.”
“Diana!” My mother appeared in the doorway. “Get out!”
“Just being honest, sister. A single mother’s child can’t compare to ours.” Diana turned to leave but delivered one final blow. “For the pack’s sake, Caroline, before you become an even bigger embarrassment…”
The door slammed shut, leaving me trembling as I held Liam close.
“She’s wrong,” Rory whispered. “We are strong. We don’t need their approval.”
Looking into Liam’s beautiful violet eyes, I made my decision. In our world, where bloodlines meant everything, Liam would always face judgment for being scentless and fatherless. I had to protect him.
The Blood Moon Pack had been kind to me, despite my being born scentless and unable to scent my fated mate. But for Liam’s sake, I had to leave.
The next day, I requested a meeting with Alpha Gerald. As I waited outside his office, my heart pounded in my chest.
“Come in, Caroline,” Alpha Gerald’s deep voice called out.
I entered, my back straight and my head held high.
“Alpha,” I greeted, bowing my head slightly in respect.
He gestured for me to sit. “What can I do for you, Caroline?”
Taking a deep breath, I met his gaze. “I’ve come to request permission to leave the Blood Moon Pack.”
His eyebrows shot up in surprise. “Leave? May I ask why?”
I hesitated for a moment, then decided honesty was the best approach.
“As you know, Liam and I are both scentless wolves. While I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had here, I believe it would be best for us to find a place where we can truly belong.”
Alpha Gerald leaned back in his chair, studying me intently.
“I see. And where do you plan to go?”
“I’m not entirely sure yet,” I admitted. “But I believe a fresh start is what we need.”
He nodded slowly, a thoughtful expression on his face.
“I understand your position, Caroline. Your work here has been exemplary, and I’d hate to lose you. However, I also want what’s best for you and your son.”
Relief washed over me. I hadn’t expected him to be so understanding.
“Thank you, Alpha,” I said sincerely.
