In a heartbeat, I was rushed to the infirmary, but my precious pups were gone. I had prepared myself for motherhood, dreaming of our future, yet in the end, all my hopes faded away like a distant memory.
As I inquired whether my mate had come to see me, they merely shook their heads, informing me that no one ever visited.
Just as I was about to reach out to him through a mind link, I came across a post from Lauren, his healer assistant, captioned, [Thanks to this amazing pack healer! My pups and I are doing great!]
I smiled through my pain and mumbled, “So you devoted your night to your assistant and someone else’s pups, all the while neglecting me and losing our own.”
All day long, I waited for my mate to finally visit me, but as night fell, I found myself once again overlooked and abandoned.
In the dead of night, Aiden unexpectedly mind-linked me, but I hesitated to reply.
His anger surged as he said, “Rogue sightings are still happening around the pack, and you’re out there, not at home? Don’t you fear for our pups' safety?!”
