Aurora and I remained in the pack hospital for three weeks.
During this entire time, we didn’t receive a single message from either of the brothers.
Not one person asked about our wellbeing, our whereabouts, or why we hadn’t returned to the pack house.
My already shattered heart sank even deeper at their callous indifference.
As we were finalizing our discharge papers, we spotted Ethan walking down the corridor.
He didn’t notice us.
We followed him discreetly until he entered the maternity ward.
That’s when we discovered the truth.
Victoria was lying in a hospital bed, clutching Alexander’s hand and crying about her fear of the delivery room, while Ethan, who had just arrived, tenderly brushed her hair from her forehead.
The three of them together created a picture of perfect harmony.
Aurora and I instinctively touched our stomachs, our eyes filled with despair.
In comparison, even Victoria’s current fears seemed like blessings.
Watching their intimate scene, I forced myself to remain calm, pulling Aurora away from the hospital.
We had more important matters to attend to.
“Meeting with the Alpha Council the day after tomorrow! Bring Ethan.”
“Seriously, if you don’t show up, we’ll have no choice but to let the Council enforce the bond severance.”
Alexander immediately called me, but I rejected the call.
Messages began flooding my phone, which I ignored completely before turning it off.
Aurora accompanied me to report the rogue wolf attack to the Alpha Council’s enforcement division.
This had been a deliberate revenge attack, and the victims were the mates of the pack’s Alphas.
We recounted the entire incident in detail. The Head Enforcer’s brow furrowed with concern:
“Such a serious matter, and you’re only reporting it now? What if these rogues target you again?”
I gave a bitter smile.
That wouldn’t happen. Even the rogues knew I held no place in Alexander’s heart. Hurting me posed no threat to him.
I could only ask the enforcer to carefully review the border patrol records.
When he heard how Aurora and I had lost a pup and the ability to shift because of the attack, and how we’d been stranded during a mudslide with no help, his expression softened with sympathy.
“Don’t worry, Miss Aria. We’ll do everything we can to investigate this thoroughly.”
Leaving the enforcement office, I received another video from Victoria.
“6 pounds 3 ounces. An angel who floated on clouds carefully choosing her mother has finally come to me~”
