Chapter 6
Alpha Joseph’s expression was unreadable–stormy, dangerous–as he took slow, deliberate steps toward
- me.
Then, without warning, his hand shot out and clamped around my throat.
“Melissa,” he growled, his voice like
ice. “Don’t test me. Don’t think I won’t
hurt you. I’m warning you–push me again, and you’ll regret it.”
The pressure on my windpipe was suffocating. My face turned red as fire burned in my lungs. But even through the pain, I managed a bitter, defiant
smile.
“Everyone I cared about is already dead… because of you. What’s left for me to be afraid of?”

His grip tightened, the world starting to blur at the edges. For a moment, I thought maybe–maybe he was finally going to end it.
But then, he let go.
I collapsed, coughing and gasping for
air.
“You’re carrying my pup,” he said coldly. “For the pup’s sake, I’ll let this
slide.”
And with that, he turned and walked
out of the room.
I forced myself up, leaning heavily against the wall, only to find the door locked from the outside. Two guards stood just beyond it, stationed like prison wardens.
“Joseph, you bastard! Let me out!” I

But my body wasn’t ready for this. The strain, the heartbreak, the trauma–it was too much. I collapsed to the floor. Blood seeped through my clothes.
I was losing the pup.
Chaos followed. Doctors and nurses
rushed in, wheeling me into surgery.
Three agonizing hours later, the pup
was still with me. Barely.
From that day on, I became a prisoner in the hospital room. Every day, nurses came in with injections and medication. Every day, I refused.
I stopped eating. Stopped speaking. I had no other way to fight back. I was trapped. And while my mother’s body lay cold in the ground–or worse–I couldn’t even say goodbye.

I hated myself. But I hated Alpha Joseph more.
The medical staff couldn’t handle me anymore. They called him in.
He arrived just as I smacked another dose of pills out of a nurse’s hand.
Without a word, he strode over, grabbed my jaw, and forced the pills into my mouth. I gagged and coughed, struggling to breathe.
“Joseph…” I panted, tears burning in my eyes. “Please… Let me see my mom one last time.”
Something flickered in his expression. For a moment, he looked… honest.
But the grief cracked me wide open.

My voice trembled with rage and anguish as I pointed a shaking finger
at him.
“I hate you. I hate you! Why? Why couldn’t you just let us go? I told you -I was wrong, I know that. Isn’t that enough? You said you care about this pup-then fine! I won’t have it! I won’t give birth to a monster’s child!”
With that, I raised my fist, aiming it straight at my stomach.
Just as I was about to strike, his voice cut through the air like a blade.
“Go ahead. Try it. And I’ll scatter your mother’s ashes to the wind.”
My fist froze midair.
I stared at him, horrified, unable to move. And then… I lowered my hand.

Because I believed him.
He would do it.
He was that cruel.

Alpha Joseph seemed pleased, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.
“Good girl. Eat your meals. Take your meds. Keep your body strong. Grow the pup safely. Once it’s stable, I’ll let you attend your mother’s funeral.”
My lashes fluttered as I stared at him, hollow and defeated.
He held every card. My freedom, my child, even my grief.
What choice did I have but to believe
him?
He picked up a bowl of porridge from

to my lips.
I opened my mouth and swallowed, robotic and numb.
Days bled into weeks. Weeks into
months.
Three months passed.
The pup was strong now, stable.
And every single day, Alpha Joseph came to the hospital. Always with flowers. With gifts. Sometimes, he’d sit beside me and talk about pack
affairs like nothing had changed, like
we were still that happy couple from
long ago.
Like he hadn’t destroyed everything.
It was as if he truly believed things.

But I wasn’t the same woman
anymore.
And I would never forget what he’d
done.
