310–I Just Want To Be A Mother

Nora:

At one point, I truly believed him when he said he was madly in love with me and wanted a chance

with me. But at the first sign of trouble, his love vanished. I guess his hatred for my stepbrothers was

stronger than his love for me.

I didn’t ask him to accept me, I just wanted to stay in his pack. But no! He wanted to kill my baby.

“I will do anything–anything–if you let my baby live,” I broke the silence, placing my palms before

him. His eyes darkened, as he had always known me as a happy Nora, a princess because of my

stepbrothers and stepfather.

But now, I stood before these men, hands together, begging for my baby’s life.

“What could you possibly offer us? There is nothing more significant than eliminating this baby, who

carries the blood of that despicable line,” Royal Gamma shook his head, attempting to grab my arm

to pull me out of the room, likely to prepare me for the abortion.

“If you want you can give birth to this baby and then put it up for adoption. But to do that, you need

to promise to stay with me and become my wife, where we can build our own family,” Brody said

shamelessly. I was shocked by his audacity, but I could see that his beta and gamma were not very

pleased with the deal.

They turned to look at him and shook their heads, but Brody kept his back straight.

“Brody, what is that going to do for the pack? She isn’t worthy of being your Luna. We don’t even

know whose baby this is; it could belong to a rogue or a monster for all we know,” the Royal Gamma

hissed, trying his best to keep his voice low to avoid disrespecting the alpha.

“You don’t tell me what she is. It’s a deal, and if she accepts, her baby gets to live, and she also gets

to restart her life in a favorable way,” Brody said, unable to meet my eyes after making such a

proposal.

I was stunned. I never thought he would go this far.

“No!” The moment I said that, their conversation stopped, and they turned to focus on me.

“I don’t accept this deal,” of course, I hit Brody’s ego.

“Look now, she rejected you,” Jerry observed with a knowing tone. He was skilled at provoking

Brody.

“Seriously? This deal is that bad?” The hurt and anger in Brody’s eyes made it clear he was not

going to let this go.

“Take her away,” he yelled, and my body shuddered again. I needed to find a way to stop them.

“Wait–I will get rid of the mutant rogues for you.” The moment those words reached their ears, they

fell silent. Royal Gamma scrutinized my face before he groaned.

“Is this a joke to you?” Brody yelled, having been informed that I am. an omega with a non–active

wolf, which was far from the truth.

“I’m not joking. I’ll fight the mutant rogues for you,” I repeated as I began to remove my ring, the one

that had helped me conceal the identity of my wolf all this time.

“She’s lost her mind. If anyone could handle that, it would be your stepbrother Alpha King Nash, and

there’s no way we would ask for his help. So shut up and get ready,” Royal Gamma said, placing his

hands on me again. I let my wolf take over.

Although I couldn’t fully transition due to my pregnancy, my wolf was still capable of inflicting more

damage than any warrior.

I grabbed his hand and twisted it, throwing him to the ground. Brody immediately sprang from his

chair as Royal Beta drew a gun with a silver bullet.

“Go ahead and try it,” I said calmly, a tear escaping my eye.

“How did you-” Brody, who had been my trainer for a few months and had always wondered why I

was so weak, now looked astonished.

I had never wanted anyone to know about my wolf, fearing they would call her a monster. But right

now, she knew our priority was the safety of my baby.

“I’ll challenge every mutant rogue and fight them every day if you let my baby survive,” my lips

quivered, but the glimmer in their eyes gave me hope. Royal Gamma got up from the ground and

hurried closer to Brody, speaking in hushed tones. Royal Beta was part of the silent. discussion.

And I stood before them, willing to sacrifice myself if only they would let me keep my baby. I no

longer wished to be a princess, a luna, or a Luna Queen. I didn’t care if I ever found love again; I

didn’t want it.

After so many betrayals, how could I expect love from anyone ever again?

I just wanted to be a mother.
