Perhaps, it happened because I started to know the truth that I was just a replacement. Then the subsequent miscarriage was likely a sign that having a child with Dominic wouldn't be good for either me or the baby.

At home, I prepared dinner as always. But even after the sun had set and day turned into night, there was no sign of Dominic returning.
Suddenly, my mobile rang. A message came from my husband.
[Dominic: Sorry, I have to accompany Courtney tonight.]
I did not answer nor questioned him more about it, I only ate the dinner in silence.
On the next day, when I ate my breakfast, I happened to see Courtney X's post again.
It was a photo of her with a candy apple in the familiar front passenger seat of Dominic's car. The caption read, “Thanks for the candy apples, my Alpha.”
My fingers hovered motionless over the screen.
I didn’t have any appetite anymore and went to my room to continue my part-time work as a graphic designer.
I used to be so busy with my job. But when I knew that I was pregnant, I just accepted one client for a week.
However, that day, I decided to accept as many as I could to distract my wolf who seemed disturbed by Courtney’s post.
