Chapter 1
After seven years of being Dante’s Luna, we finally had our first child.
When I brought him the prenatal report, beaming with joy, he frowned and asked me: “Whose child is this?”
I was stunned. “It’s yours.”
“We’ve been married for seven years and never had a child. I go on business trip for two month, and suddenly you’re pregnant? Do you think I am a
fool?”
His words chilled me to the core.
The baby was already two months old, so the timing should make sense to him.
Off to the side, his mother Aveline sneered coldly. “No wonder why you’re always out late at night. So that’s where you’ve been–seeing another
man.”
The truth was, I had been working overtime most nights. Their accusations pushed me to tears.
In the end, I told him, “If you don’t believe me, then let’s go to the pack doctor and do a paternity test.”
To my surprise, Dante agreed without hesitation.
I was deeply disappointed. The moment we finished the test that day, I packed up and went back to my parents‘ old pack.
The results would take three days. Dante and I agreed to meet at the pack doctor’s office when they were ready.
If the child turned out to be his, he would give me a public apology.
If not, he’d sever our mate bond, and I’d leave with nothing.
During those three days, Dante didn’t contact me even once.
Furious and heartbroken, I told my mom that once we got the results, I’d terminate the pregnancy, reject him, and leave him for good.
My mom tried to calm me down. She told me to give him another chance.
“Dante loves you like his life. You’ve been together so long, but couldn’t get a kid, and he never complained about it. Now you’re suddenly pregnant- it’s normal for him to be suspicious.”
“Just wait. When the results come out, he’s going to slap himself for ever doubting you.”
She wasn’t wrong. Dante did have a temper, but he truly loved me.
So I decided to listen to her and give him another chance.

But on the day we were supposed to meet, I overslept.
Just as i was about to head out, the doorbell rang.
! opened the door and saw Dante standing there.
I thought he had come to pick me up after realizing his mistake.
“Dante, you saw the results, right? I never-
Before I could finish, he slapped me.

–
He hit me so hard that the blow made my vision go black. Blood filled my mouth, and a ringing buzzed in my ears.
I looked up at him, disbelief written all over my face.
“Dante, are you out of your mind?!”
-Smack
Another slap.
I stumbled back a few steps and fell to the floor, hitting the table behind me.
With a clatter, everything on the table scattered to the ground.
The noise brought my mom rushing out from the bedroom. She screamed and hurried to help me up.

“Dante, how dare you hit her?!”
“She deserves it.” Dante’s eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed a tissue box from the coffee table and hurled it at me. “Renna, you cheated on me. I’m going to beat you to death, you filthy whore.”

I grabbed my mom and ducked out of the way just as the tissue box flew past us.
What was he saying?
Did that mean the results said the baby wasn’t his?
I cried out, “I’ve never been with anyone else. There must be a mistake!”
“Mistake?” Dante growled through gritted teeth as he pulled out his phone and threw it at me. “The evidence is clear. There’s no damn mistake.”
