Chapter 1

• A woman in a baby pink summer dress was enjoying the party that her mate threw for revealing the gender of their newborn pup.
• “Alright! Alright!” Nathan Gayle stopped the party, showing his hand. “I think it’s time to reveal the gender of the pup,” he added, on which everyone cheered and howled in happiness.
• Grabbing a black balloon that was kept in the corner of the room, he walked toward his mate, Ethlyn Smith Gayle, with a big smile on his face.
• At the same time, other people hooted, and Ethlyn’s sister gave her a needle with which she was going to burst the balloon, and the color filled inside it would reveal the gender.
• “So, what do you think? Its pink inside or blue?” Ethlyn's mother asked the crowd.
• “Pink!!”
• “Blue!!”
• “Blue”
• “Pink!!”
• “It’s a girl, for sure.”
• “No, it’s a boy!! The future Alpha of the pack for sure!!”
• All the guests guessed the gender of the baby, judging the size of Ethlyn’s baby bump and her mood swings in the past two months.
• “Ready, love?” Nathan asked with a smile, to which Ethlyn nodded happily. “This is our future.”
• “I know.” Ethlyn agreed and burst the balloon with a needle and looked down at the color that was inside it, but she furrowed her eyebrow, finding a lot of papering cutting.
• Everyone stopped cheering and hooting, seeing this.
• Was this a new way of revealing a gender? Instead of color, boy or girl would be written on the paper cutting? Everyone wondered.
• Ethlyn bent down and picked a piece of paper to read what was written on that, and her eyes widened when she read ‘Cheat.’ She picked up another paper and read, ‘Betrayer,’ ‘Hate you,’ ‘Slut’, ‘Whore’, etc.
• “What… what is all this, Nathan?” Ethlyn said in confusion.
• Because of air, those paper slips flew to other people as well, even if they got confused reading it.
• “Really, Ethlyn? You don’t know.” Immediately the tone of Nathan changed, and he didn’t sound pleased but looked very pissed.
• “I don’t understand.” She said, hoping this to be some kind of prank. “What are you talking about?”
• “Wow!! I wonder how can you lie so smoothly?” Nathan clapped, observing the actions of Ethlyn. “Let me call the pack doctor to reveal your real face in front of all our close relatives and friends,” he added with disgust as if she had done some low-level or cheap crime.
• “Luna Ethlyn!!” The pack doctor bowed his head in front of her, but Ethlyn felt anger laced in his tone, not understanding the reason behind it. She had been born and raised in the same pack, so she knew everyone in the pack, including the pack doctor, but she never did in her whole life; he talked to her like that. “The pup in your womb doesn’t belong to Alpha Nathan.”
• “WHAT?” Ethlyn questioned in shock, and even the expression of the other person was similar to hers.
• “Yes, Luna Ethlyn. I have run various tests of Alpha Nathan, and the truth is that he is sterile.” Everyone gasped at the discovery of this news.
• “That’s… that’s impossible,” Ethlyn said, denying this. How could this be possible? She was pregnant by his pup then. How the hell was it possible that Nathan could be sterile?
• “I knew you would say something like that, Ethlyn. After all, you weren’t expecting me to find your betrayal, were you?” Nathan questioned.
• “No. Nath…”
• “Shut up!” He growled at her. “Your mother is the head nurse of the pack hospital. So, let’s ask about the same thing with her,” he added, to which Ethlyn looked at her mother, hopefully, who was glaring at her. Now, she could understand why her mother’s behavior changed all of a sudden over the past few weeks.
• “Mom?” She looked at her, still expecting this to be such a kind of lie.
• “This is the truth, Ethlyn.” Ethlyn’s mother feels ashamed of the fact that her daughter did this.
• “Why didn’t you tell me about it?” Ethlyn’s father asked her mother while Ethlyn felt like someone stole the ground under her feet. She wasn’t ready to believe what was happening there.
• It looked like a bad dream to her from where she wanted to wake up as soon as possible.
• “Natha…” Ethlyn tried to touch her mate, but he jerked her away.
• “Don’t touch me, you whore!!”
• “Mind your tone, Alpha Nathan.” Ethlyn’s father growled at his Alpha being, the former Beta of the pack. Tears started rolling out of Ethlyn’s eyes, hearing that particular word from her mate’s mouth.
• “And mind your voice, Christian.” Nathan roared back at him, calling Ethlyn’s father by name, shocking everyone. “You’re talking to your Alpha.”
• “I won’t give a damn to anyone if he or she will insult my daughter.” Ethlyn’s father growled.
• “I am insulting her?” Nathan questioned him. “If showing the mirror is term as an insult, then trust me, your daughter has done something really embarrassing.”
• “Ask her, with whom did she sleep, and who pup is she was carrying?” Nathan asked.
• “It’s yours, Na…” Ethlyns’ words were cut in between when Nathan slapped at angrily, making her fall on the ground.
• “Aahhh!!” She cried when she felt extreme pain in her stomach.
• “How dare you?” Christian, Ethlyn’s father, attacked his Alpha the moment he saw his daughter in pain. He lost it.
