---- VALERIA In the midst of my tears, I suddenly felt disoriented.


    Something dense filled my nostrils, a sharp pain pierced my head, and dizziness overtook me.


    I stood up, wiping my tears, and looked around.


    I couldnt see anything an opaque, white fog surrounded me, obscuring even the light of the moon.


    What was I doing here? felt a bit confused, but my body tensed when I saw a woman emerge from the fog.


    Sophia." [instinctively went on guard.


    She had been my best friend, but she betrayed me with my Alpha, Dorian.


    I saw them together yes, but when? "Did youe to celebrate your victory? Tough at having deceived me while sleeping with Dorian?" "No, Lactually came to return this deformed thing that came out of your womb," she said, and Inoticed the bundle in her hands.


    The white cloths were soaked with blood.


    My heart raced with panic.


    I didnt want her to unwrap what she was holdingI had a terrible feeling that knowing the truth would break me beyond repair.


    Take it.


    This thing is your baby.


    You were bleeding to death, and I pulled it out from between your legs," she said, and I nced down at myself.


    My dress was drenched in blood.


    Suddenly, a dull pain spread through my belly.


    Take it now, or Ill throw it on the ground!" "No!" I screamed as she actually flung it onto the grass.


    I froze, staring at what she had dropped.


    I didnt want to describe itit was too horrifying.


    It didnt even look like a baby.


    Icopsed to my knees, reaching out my trembling hands, tears streaming once more.


    My heart shattered into pieces as I gathered the tiny body, trying to wrap it in the warmth of the bloodstained cloth.


    Icradled it against my chest, wailing in anguish.


    The sorrow was so overwhelming that I wished I could die right then and there.


    Through the chaos in my mind, her mockingughter and taunting words pierced through.


    ---- always so pathetic, drowning in tears over everything.


    Thats why you ended up disgusting Dorian.


    Honestly, who would want to havea child with you?" Traised my gaze, filled with fury, and locked eyes with her smug, cynical expression as she stood just a few steps away.


    "Whats that? Save that furious look for your Dorian.


    He should be arriving soon to take that creature out of your hands.


    What a disgrace it would be for anyone to see the monster you gave birth to!" "No one is taking my child from me, you wretched bitch! NO ONE!" I screamed, my voice consumed by the darkness flooding my heart.


    I carefully set the small bundle under a bush for protection while sheughed behind me, taunting me, asking what I was going to do.


    She kept calling me Dorians pet, a weak omega who couldnt even protect her own child.
